Surprises Can Come From Anyone

Chapter 9: Surprises Can Come From Anyone

Recap: Jess realises that she still has feelings for Alec, Luke, and Mason. Alec and Jess kiss 3 times and almost do it but decide not to and they aren't officially a couple yet. Luke asked Jess out for a date and Jess accepted the they made out in the hallway. ENJOY!

"Promise you won't get mad?" I asked hopefully. I really did not want to make a scene. "Promise. Now who do you have a date with tonight?" He asked the last part a little too loud cause the whole jock table looked at us and gasped when I answered with one name and one name only. "Luke." There was hurt in his eyes and I didn't know what to do.

Everybody in my English group got to my house the same way as they did Friday. Matt and I walked and everybody else drove themselves in their own cars. Matt and I took the shortcut again so we would arrive before everyone else would. When Matt didn't talk I knew that I would have to make the first move if I wanted him to talk. After I told Alec that I was going on my date with Luke, he walked out of the lunchroom with Matt following not far behind him. I felt terrible and the whole jock table stared at me. I didn't realise how obvious it was that he had feelings for me, he looked so hurt whenever I talked to any guy.

"Do you hate me?" I asked. All of the sudden I got choked up and I felt tears start to form in my eyes. Matt looked at me, "No! Of course not! Jess, I could never hate you! You are my bestfriend! I just wish that you didn't lead Alec on then go on a date with Luke. You know what happened between the two of them. But trust me, I will never hate you no matter what you do or how stupid you can be!" By now we have been hugging since he looked at me eyes full of worry after I asked him that.

"I bet alec hates me right? I mean I can't blame him..." I kept on blabbering on and on not even knowing what I was saying. My tears were flowing freely ow. I wasn't embarrassed to cry in front of Matt but he startled me when he stopped me suddenly. "What did you just say?" He sounded shocked and amazed at the same time. "I.. I don't know, that I think I may love Alec, but I also really really like Luke and Mason, fireworks went off for both Alec and Luke and I haven't kissed Mason yet, and..and... I don't know why?" Matt was really starting to scare me his eyes widened when I repeated what I had just said while pouring my heart out to him. He caught me by surprise when he interrupted me because he NEVER interrupts me when I talk to him like this.

"You just said that you think you LOVE Alec! Jess, this is big, huge even!" When Matt explained everything to me I understood what he was saying and why he was so shocked and amazed at what I told him.

"Yeah i did but I also said that I still really, really like Luke and Mason. I mean when I pour my heart out to you like that I don't even know what I am saying whatever comes out is the truth because I can't overthink it!" It was true I do this quite often because when i have too many thoughts and emotions cooped up inside me I eventually just explode and Matt is always there to put me back together. "I felt fireworks when i kissed both Alec and Luke. I haven't kissed Mason yet so I don't know what will happen. Matt.." He nodded in response, "I thought the fireworks were only supposed to happen with one person how could I get them for two totally different people?" As I was asking this question the other boys were parking their cars in my driveway. Matt engulfed me in a huge hug and in a response he whispered in my ear "I don't know Jess, I honestly don't know." When we let go of each other Mason walked up to us with Alec trailing not so far behind him. "Have you been crying Jessica?" this was only the second time Mason spoke to me after yesterday. Today he asked me what the homework was in one of our classes and now his words were full of emotion and I could see worry in his eyes as I nodded. What he did next took me by a total surprise.
