Jasper and I don't sit with our normal little group, nope we went out onto the oval and sat there talking and helping each other with homework plus the tension in the air whenever Jamal was around was just too much for me. He hadn't approached me or said anything to me at all, all day. I was over it, I might as well say we've broken up because what normal people fight like this and stay together. He lied and properly cheated on me and he doesn't seem to care. Jasper had made me forget about my troubles and it'd been fun until Jamal came and found us on the oval laughing at some joke Jasper had just told me. I was laughing mid-sentence when he walked up "Can we talk?" he asked abruptly.
I looked up and instantly my smile vanished "Why? I think you said enough on Saturday night"
"Please Brook?" he begged and I looked at Jasper who motioned for me to go so i did.
I don't know why I did but I did. I walked away from everyone and Jamal didn't waste any time but grabbing my hands and begging for my forgiveness "I'm so sorry Brook. I know I was out of line and stupid and reckless and..." i place my finger to his lips
"I get it, you’re a dipshit!" he smiles
"Yeah. So will you take me back and let me try again?" I don't know if it was from lack of sleep of the desire to have the prefect relationship but I nodded.
I didn’t even think about it, like I should have. I just let him wessel back into my life. He was better than that and maybe I some how knew that and wanted him to prove it. His lips found mine which melted all the anger away. I hated myself for it but I also loved the feeling of his lips on mine so either way I was fighting an endless battle. After a long passionate kiss he said he had to go to class so I left him and walked back to Jasper who had made himself comfortable on our school bags, making them pillows under his head. I walk up and watch him as he lay there, his lips slightly parted and he sun glasses on hiding his eyes but the way he was breathing you could tell he'd fallen asleep. He looked so cute for a moment before he grinned at me making me smile "Take a picture, it lasts longer!"
"You weirdo!" I say as he jumps to his feet and starts to chase me around the oval
"Jasper don't!" I screamed as he chased me for a good 5 minutes.
I was laughing so hard that when he caught me we fell to the ground on top of each other. His arms wrapped around me tickling the crap out of me "Jasper stop!" I cried but he didn't and I felt like I was almost going to pee myself
"JASPER!" i screamed once more and he stopped while laughing loudly in my ear
"What's wrong princess? Can't handle the heat?"
"Oh really? Is that a challenge?"
"Maybe" he beamed and that was it we started a long, tickling war.
Where I almost peed myself. We rolled around the grass getting it caught up in our clothes. By the end of it, we were all tickled out. I don't think my ribs could handle another laugh, they felt sore and I was still gasping for air. I looked at Jasper who was looking at me already "You know how beautiful you are when you smile?" a blush instantly flew across my face and he laughed
"And don't try hiding that blush which makes you even more cuter!" I roll my eyes
"Is that even possible? Being cuter?" he shrugs
"I don't know but you are?" he pouts and I push him away from me
"Go away. I have a boyfriend!” I say and he laughs
"yeah he takes real good care of you doesn't he?" we finally get up and go back to our books where the wind had flicked the pages open so we didn't know where we were
"Well it's pretty clear the universe is telling us not to study!" I laugh but agree
"Yep, let's just read or listening to music?" Jasper's eyes lit up
"I have my IPod and base burger?"
"Perfect!" we put all our books away and lay on our bag, using them as pillows while Jasper got his IPod and speaker ready.
Soon the music was playing softly between us and it was relaxing and refreshing. Soon the day was over. Jamal was waiting at my locker to take me home, I tried to get Jasper to come but he said he'd catch the bus so I told him we'd catch up later. Jamal took me home and waited around until my dad got home. We didn’t say much to each other, we just weren’t were we were the other day. It was depressing. We got Emily’s and our homework done plus he broke the awkwardness and we got some kissing in before he had to go. Emily fake gagged so we went to my room and closed the door. I didn't let him take it too far but it was enough to get my heart racing and my breath taken away. He promised to be around more and spend more time with me. I liked that idea because Jamal and i go way back and I missed him and us.
After Jamal had gone home there was a knock on the door. We had just finished dinner so Emily and Dad were cleaning up “I’ve got it” I call over my shoulder as I open the door to Jasper
“Hey?”
“Hey, Can we talk?” he looked sad so closed the door behind us and sat on the steps
“Sooo what’s up?” I ask and he looks at me
“Nothing I missed you today after school?” was all he says and I look at him
“Yeah, Ja came over and spent some time with me. I think he realised he fucked up?”
“Yeah well he should” he snapped.
I looked at him “Are you okay?” I ask.
I know Jasper and I have this weird thing going on and I know I need to be careful because it feels like he’s getting attached to me but we’re friends and I need it to stay that way. “Yeah, Um April asked me out!” he blurts and I look at him “And what did you say?” he shrugged
“I didn’t answer. I don’t want too”
“Why?
” “Because I don’t like her. I like someone else!” he looks at me and I knew then who he was talking about – me
“Jasper, we can’t be together. I’m with Jamal. I know he hasn’t been the greatest boyfriend but he’s trying and I forgive him” he nods while fumbling with his fingers
“Cool” he nods
“Well I might just tell her yes then?” he gets up and I stand up as wel
l “Oh okay” I reply.
Although I just want to tell him not too, I can’t. It wouldn’t be fair on him “Fine. See you tomorrow”
“Okay bye”
“Bye” was this going to be the last time Jasper and I spend time together as friends?
I hope not, I like him being around and I can only imagine what April will do to him if they go out? I cringe at the thought. I could lose Jasper forever and there was nothing I could do.
