If only I could hide under the table or a rock. I wouldn't be getting these glares from my so called friends "Brooklyn was your girlfriend?" "pretend girlfriend" i finally piped up
"Hey girlfriend none the less and now I'm broken hearted" at his words the girls swoon over him
"Oh Jasper, we'll make you feel better" or
"Jasper it's okay we'll make it all better" Lily and April had their hands all over him and I couldn't help but feel a little jealous no wait I was alot jealous.
I couldn't help it but seeing them with their hands on him and touching him I was blowing up inside. I had to get out of there before I said or did something I'd regret. I stood up abruptly and started to walk off.  Leaving my lunch behind "Brook wait!" I hear behind me but I'm raging inside and i can't understand why.
I've never felt like this before, this i all new to me. Maybe this whole relationship thing is going to be too much drama and that is something i don't need right now? I keep walking out towards the oval and I crying now. I was so worked up I didn't know how to react or handle myself "Brook!" I hear as some arms come around me
"Brook! Stop! Wait!" he breathed heavily into my ear and I did.
I let their embrace take me to their chest and I cried - what for I'm still not sure but it felt good letting it out. After a while of silence I feel his lips touch my forehead "Are you okay?" I slowly look up and see Jamal's eyes staring back at me and I nod
"You sure?" he was concerned about me.
This is weird.

"What's going on?" he asks after I'd stopped crying and he'd wiped the tears away from under my eyes
"I-I d-don't know? I was just overwhelmed with emotions"
"Shhhh" he cooed in my ear, pulling me back into his chest which was getting soaked by my tears
"it’s okay" he whispers.
Just his words were comforting. I was being a 2 year old crying over someone taking my toys. This was stupid, I was being stupid. I pulled away from him and laughed slightly at my situation "I'm sorry I'm being stupid Ja" I was shaking my head and he smiled at me, making me smile back "You okay?" he asks again in a concerned voice and I nod
"I'm good, really" I sob and he chuckles
"You scared the shit out of me. What happened?" I sigh and look at his cute puppy eyes
"I don't know, just seeing Lily and April all over Jasper....it..it made me feel like I did when it was you?.." I shrug and he cups my face in his hands
"That's all over and done with now. I'm with you and they have a new boy toy to annoy. We should be good for at least 2 weeks?" we both chuckled at his words because really he was right, either they'd get what they wanted or be bored of him.
I wrap my arms tightly around him and take in his scent and he smelt so masculine. I just wanted to stay in his arms forever but unfortunately the bell went breaking up this cute moment we were having. Jamal kissed me sweetly on the lips for a brief second before pulling away and looking deeply into my eyes "You gonna be okay? Or do you want me to take you home?"
"I'm good really. It was just a moment and it's passed now. Thank you Ja - for just being here"
"You know I’m not going anywhere and I don't like seeing you hurt. I've seen you go through so much. i want to be there and support you, so use and abuse me okay?" he's words make me laugh
"You're an idiot" I say as he pulls me tightly to his body
"I'm your idiot" another sweet kiss before we turned and walked back into school hand in hand.
