Romantically Hopeless

Chpt. 5 ~ Dance For Me.

Amber's P.O.V. ~ 

I hear his foot descend. Which was kind of a relief? 

I head upstairs, I lay down and feel myself drift into a peaceful slumber. 

*The Following Morning*

I wake up to the obnoxious buzzing of my alarm clock. Again. I hate that thing. 

"Amber 'cmon your friends are waiting for you! You're late!" She screams 

  I look at the clock and have a mental breakdown. I rush around my room to throw on whatever I have laying around. I brush my hair and grab my toothbrush and toothpaste to brush my teeth in the car. I stumble down the stairs. 

"Bye Mom!" I yell and slam the door behind me. I almost feel her rolling her eyes. 

  I open the car door and threw my stuff in and take a deep breath out because I am winded from running around. My friends turn around and looked worried.

" 'cmon we are going to be late." I encourage them to start the car. 

" You never answered our texts or calls yesterday. What happened?" Adaline questioned with a worried tone in her voice. 

"nothing. don't worry about it." I say quietly. 

  The rest of the car ride was silent mostly because I think they were worried about me. But, I am a big girl. I will be fine, I always am. I brush my teeth and spit it out the window. My friends are used to it. It isn't the first time I've done it. 

  We enter school and there are still whispers. I don't even care anymore. I hold my head high and walk to my first period. Classes go pretty quick but, I am dreading World History for obvious reasons. I am standing outside the classroom like an idiot. I finally decided to go in. 

  I walk to the back and sit down at my desk and put my head down. I hear Samantha enter and roll my eyes. Who can't hear her? You can literally hear her from a mile away. I don't bother to look up although. 

"Jakey, last night was amazing," She giggled 

I didn't even allow myself to get angry. I won't allow it. 

"Hey, Jacobs." Nick Kingston, Jake's best friend calls out to me.

"Dance for me, Jacobs." He says teasingly as he starts to pull up his shirt. 

  I look a Jake. We hold eye contact for a minute until I break it. I've come to the realization he doesn't care he never has. I still feel his eyes on me. I look up once and a while to look at him but, I look back down so, we won't see him. 

Samantha is on him like a leech. It is kinda funny to see him miserable. 

He'll know how it feels now. 

After 50 minutes of drowning out the teacher and my peers. The lunch bell finally rings. I dart out of the classroom, for the second day in a row. 

Jake's P.O.V. ~ 

"what the fuck Nick?" I push him up against a locker. He pushes me back.

"What do you mean? 'what the fuck Nick?' What did I do?" He questions 

"What was that stunt you pulled with Amber back there?" I feel the anger getting to my face so, I try to calm myself down. 

"I was picking fun. Man, you do it all the time." He hits me playfully 

"Don't do it to Amber," I said through my teeth and shove him again. I walk off. 

I making it my mission to get all of those videos deleted...

Amber P.O.V. ~ 

  I make my way to my lunch table where my friends and I sit. I'm not really in the mood to eat for known reasons. I need to rant, I feel like I have steam coming out of my ears. I feel it bubbling if I don't let it out soon, I will explode. 

I plop down in my seat at the lunch table and let out a huff of air. 

"Are you okay, baby?" Luna questions with worry. Adaline leans in waiting for my response. 

"No. To be honest, I am not. I have cried so much in the past few days it's not even funny. There is a video going around. People think I am a slut. I caught Samantha and Jake kissing. I keep telling myself I don't care. But for some reason, my heart is telling me something else." I say really fast hoping they wouldn't catch what I had said at the end. 

"Sounds like someone is catching feelings," Adaline says with a smirk. Luna nods agreeing. 

"I don't want to catch feelings. He was at my house yesterday, I'm assuming to apologize. But, then I heard Samantha said she 'had a great night last night' which means he left my place and went to hers!! That's not okay!" I say trying to hold back my tears. 

"She could be faking it.." Luna pointed out. 

"maybe." I started thinking. I get up from my table and walk off 

"where are you going?" My best friends said in unison. I just waved them off. 

I am going to find Jake. 

Jake's P.O.V. ~ 

"I know you took the video, Gray!" I shouted as I held them up against the locker

"you have no proof." He said shaking under my grip 

"I had someone trace the IP address!! Why did you take it? Huh?" I pushed him further up 

"I don't know." He trembled 

"That's not a good answer!!" My blood started to boil...

"Put. Him. Down." I hear Amber's voice. I whip my head around. I don't even realize I lose my grip on the boy. 

I stand there with my chest pounding just standing there. Looking at her. 

She starts shaking. I can see it. 

Amber's P.O.V. ~ 

He is just standing there. It is starting to scare me. 

  Jake started to approach me. I started to tremble. He walks slowly towards me until he is only a few inches away from my face. I feel his minty breath from his gum beating down on my face. I look up at him waiting for him to say something. I decided to break the silence. 

"what are you doing?" I muttered softly. Still shaking. 

"I am doing it for you." He said almost emotionless 

He walks off bumping into me, nearly knocking me over. 

I do not know. What. Just. Happened.
