JACK

I slammed my locker door closed hard. Im fucking pissed off. I have been for a while I just glads it is the end of the school day. Behind the door just happens to be Addison looking at me with a scared expression.

"Hey," I say my expression softening.

"We haven't had some alone time in so long Jacky." She said putting her finger on my chest and tracing it up and down my chest.

"Yeah I just been busy," I say. I honestly want her to get away from me. I am not in mood, well honestly I haven't been in the mood for a couple of weeks.

"BUT I want to see you," She says a little forcefully and getting all up in my personal space. I groan and then glanced over her shoulder to see Zach but he was we with that Jem that clingy bitch he's mi... I mean't he is mighty nice giving her all his attention.

"I got to go I will talk to you later," I say giving her a quick kiss. I then walk over to a certain someone that I gotta a project to do with but someone hasn't been pitching in.

When I approach him he is laughing. Wow he has a cute giggle. What the fuck, what is wrong with me. "Hey Zach."

He looks up and then he says, "oh Hey Jack." He is smiling but I look over at Jem and she is just glaring at me.

"I was wondering if you wanted to work on the project today after school maybe this time at your house?" I say looking hopefully at him.

He looks at me and then his face saddens, " I'm  sorry but I'm already getting coffee with Jem today and I promised her we hangout, maybe another time?"

I just nod and walk away, I shouldn't be mad or sad but I am ever since that one afternoon he came over a couple weeks ago I been wanting his company but Jem came along and now he is so distracted. Like are they dating? I thought he was gay.

I just storm off to the gym. My safe haven. He has gotten me so stressed because of all this anger. This the only thing keeping my life together. I'm glad we don't have practice today as a team because I just wanna control what I want to do and nobody else bothering me.

I start to dribble the ball and out of habit I look up to the bleachers. I look to where someone use to watch from there. But now they don't and it been like that for weeks and every time it makes me sad. I groan loudly. What is happening to me?

***

I look out of the window of the ice cream shop. I sit down eating my favorite ice cream. This is a true stress reliever. Ice cream your always there for me.

"What do you mean you can't?" That catches my attention as the person who sits in front of me is talking into a phone. It's a woman with brown hair and a soft voice. She is with her daughter I think. Who looks young probably younger than Isla. I know it's bad but I just continue to eavesdrop in her conversation.

"No Ryan has choir practice and he is staying at a friends house," she said. I just continue scraping out the last of the ice cream out of the cup.

"No he can't do it either, he has a date tonight." She had a ton of emphasis on date. She paused.
"Yeah I know right, my baby is growing up."

Wow I guess she is really happy. I then take a good look at the little girl sitting in front of her. She is eating ice cream and had the brightest smile. "But anyways please is there any way."

I start to get up to go throw away my trash and leave. But as I pass there table, she shouts, "Fine, I guess our anniversary is a meaningless thing." She then slams her phone down and let's out an exhausting sigh. I just look at her like she is crazy since she drew a lot of attention from the place.

She then sees me just staring at her and she gives me a shy smile. "Sorry, I didn't mean to draw so much attention."

"It's ok," is all I say and I start to walk away. You know one of those awkward situations with strangers.

"Wait," She says that causes me to stop and turn around.

"Any chance you can babysit my daughter, it is just for tonight and I will pay."

I think about it for a moment. Well I always need money and I already had a stressful day maybe this would be a good distraction?

"Sure," I say with a smile.

"Yes, thank you so much, Umm here is my number and," she then grabs a napkin from a table and gets a pen out of her purse to write something down. "This is my address, so can you come over in a hour to babysit?"

"Yeah I will be there."

"Oh and this is Reece who you will be watching." She then grabs Reece's shoulders introducing her.

I then kneel down and say, "Hi I'm Jack."
She just tries to hid her face from me. I catch a glimpse of her face and just smile.Wow she's cute and her face is oddly familiar.

"Ok see you in an hour," I say and wave bye. I then exit the place. This is gonna be interesting. I smirk to myself.
