He's The Man

Chapter 21

Hes The Man -Part 21-

~Jordans POV~ 

I sat back and watched as Damon tried out his new 'skills' on Leila.

I frowned as she nodded her head shyly and accepted his request to go out.

"Baby whats wrong?" Autumn cooed as she put her hand on my cheek and turned my face back to her.

I cocked my head backwards out of her grasp to glare at the situation unraveling right before my eyes. Id never felt so helpless. I just had to sit here and watch Leila get oggled and toyed with and I couldnt do anything to stop it.

I mean...I could...but I risked exposure, exposure of our relationship which she didnt want revealed quite yet.

The guys would all call me whipped or worse. What would they think, seeing me dating Leila? I was more worried about Leilas comfortablity than mine, she had told me about her liking to keep her circle small and dating me meant everything I was; late night lacrosse practices, my group of friends, lacrosse games, and more.

Unlike Leila my circle was far from small. Its not so much I was worried about my popularity because I would give it all up in a second if it was what Leila wanted, all she has to do was ask. She was the one who wanted to keep us a secret, I was only trying to protect her.

But from what I've learned about her so far is that she needs stability, some one who would make her smile but at the same time be there to dry her tears. She needed someone who wasnt constantly swarmed by crowds of people and was just...normal.

It was true, I'm a busy guy, but it seemed like right now she can't accept that. Shes not ready too.

I watched as Damon walked away from Leila, leaving her blushing with a goofy smile on her face. She leaned back in her chair with a sigh, a part of me was jealous.

I wished I could be the one who made her happy, but unfortunately right now I wasnt, and I wasnt sure If I would ever truly be the right guy for the job.

She looked up at me with a knowing smirk before directing her gaze back down at her papers. I frowned before making my decision.

Leila deserved someone amazing, as much as I wanted to be that person, I'm not.

"You ok?" Autumn touched my shoulder and looked at me with curious eyes.

I looked down at her hand touching my shoulder before abruptly standing up.

"You seem like a nice girl Autumn-" The whole class room fell silent and I could feel Leilas eyes boring into my back. Autumn grinned at me and looked expectant. I frowned at her before stating,"But I dont wanna date you."

I turned and left the classroom for the second time without another word.

I scowled at the ground as I walked, a part of me felt like I was giving up on me and Leila, but it was for the best. Getting out now before we were both in too deep. I just wished I could tell her we couldn't happen, for her benefit.

But it was probably better this way.

She didn't seem like she wanted to talk anyways. I sighed and came to a stop, putting my face in my hands and letting out a defeated sigh, I was stupid to think I could actually make someone happy in a relationship.

I was dumb to think I could make me and Leila work.

I leaned against the lockers and slowly slid down until I was sitting, I was already done with today. I scoffed, to think its only second period! I looked up at the ceiling and just sat in the silence feeling bad for myself.

Mmmmm! Mmmm Mmm-bang!

I looked up at the janitors closet and chuckled. Kids were always going in there and messing around. Today was probably no different.

Mmm!! -bang bang-

I tilted my head to the side, It sounded like muffled...moans? Except someone kept banging into the door.

Oh god.

I looked away and choked back a laugh,  Id gotten pretty crazy in the janitors closet myself with a couple different girls but I'd never taken it as far as doing...it.

-bang bang bang- Mmmm!

It kinda sounded like whoever was in there was struggling. The banging was unrhythmic and the supposed moans sounded strained.

My forehead creased in confusion as I stood up and walked closer towards the door to try and hear what was going on. Just to make sure whoever in there was ok.

I neared the door and stopped when I was about a foot away and just listened. I took a surprised step back when a sudden louder than the rest -Bang- sounded and the door quivered slightly.

I took a deep breath and gripped the handle tightly, If people were in here doing...stuff then I'd be shocked and embarrassed on my intrusion. But better safe than sorry. I swallowed and quickly flung the door open.

A flash of strawberry blonde hair shot right at me.

Sending me and the stranger to the floor in a heaping mess. I rubbed my head and sat up with a groan. I looked at the girl laying next to me and my eyes widend in shock,"Ramona?!"

She scowled at me but was unable to talk, her mouth was covered with a silver piece of duck tape and her hands were bound behind her back. I looked at her in confusion and asked,"What are you doing?"

She rolled her eyes at me before looking down at her mouth. "Oh!!" I gasped in realization.

Obvioulsy she couldnt talk.

I brought my hands up the ends of the duck tape and hesitantly gripped the corner.

"Umm sorry Ramona but this will sting..."

She inhaled deeply through her nose before squeezing her eyes shut.

"Uhh...One, two..."

I quickly ripped the duck tape off her face leaving her skin temporarily marked light pink from the sudden removement. Since her hands were bound behind her back she curled into herself and growled.

"Ahhh god damn it you asshole!! That hurt!"

She looked up at me with a scowl. "It was the quickest way to get it off!" I shot back.

She rolled her eyes. "Just untie me."

I sighed and moved behind her while mumbling,"A simple 'Thank You for saving me Jordan' would be appreciated."

She didn't say anything. As soon as I got her hands untied we both stood up. She turned and faced me with a hateful glare.

"Are you Alrig-"

My sentence was left hanging as she layed a firm smack across my left cheek.
