For Real

Vic stood up and looked at you.

"Oh, hey y/n. Didn't see you there". She smirked slyly and sat down next to Jonah.

"You guys know each other?" He asked.

"Oh yeah" Vic said before you could open your mouth. "She's on my basketball team. Aren't you excited for our game on Friday?"

You shrugged. "Our captain, Chelse, doesn't know if she's gonna make it and she's the best player. I'm actually really nervous."

The two other girls who were sitting with you were apparently Chelse's friends also.

"Oh, you're the y/n Chelse is always talking about right?" Said one of them. You nodded. "Chelse is always talking about you and how great you are at the sport. How she talks about you, I would think that the other teams wouldn't stand a chance."

"Oh, thanks" you say. "But, I can asure you...its gonna be the hardest game of the season..."

"I'm sure you guys will be fine" said one of the girls.

"I'm Samanatha but you can call me Sam" the same girl said.

"I'm Jessica but you can call me Jess" the other one said.

"I'm Y/n but you guys already know that" you joke.

The other guys at the table went around saying their names as well. It went Chris, Xander, Oliver, and Charlie.

"So, did Chelse say anything about me? You know, coming back this year?" Asked Vic.

"Yeah, at the beginning of the season" said Sam.

"See" Vic said to Jonah. "All that spending time together over the summer really paid off...well when we were practicing".

"Okay, calm down you two" Xander said. "Yeah, we get it, you two have amazing sex, lets move on" Jess said.

You felt your face start to reddin.

"Okay okay," Jonah said.

"So um" you say as you clear your throat. "How did you guys become a thing?"

"Well" Vic starts. "It happened at the beginning of Freshman year. I had the biggest crush on him and we had a class together. I decided to man up one day and go talk to him. We went on a few dates and then I went with him to his Junior prom and then we got a hotel room and-"

"The rest is history" Jonah said cutting her off.

Great you thought to yourself.

"Well, good for you two" you say a lot less confident than you wanted it to be. "Um, I think I'm gonna go find Aubrey, she's my friend and I think she doesn't have anyone to sit with today-"

"No, please stay" Vic says through an evil smile. "I can see her from here actually. She's sitting with her boyfriend. God, it's so amazing to have a boyfriend...don't you agree Y/n?"

You sit there looking at her in silence.

"I don't have a boyfriend" you say with a quiet voice.

"Really?" Vic and Jonah say at the same time. Vic looked at Jonah for a minute wondering why he was so concerned about it.

You weren't really surprised that he liked her. She was the prettiest girl in your grade. She had long blonde hair and sun kissed skin throughout the entire year. She was skinny but had nice curves. She knew how to use makeup so she always looked older and more sofisticated. You on the other hand had brown hair that only went a little bit past your shoulders. You were skinny but you weren't as curvy. You also didn't wear makeup to school so you still looked like and eighth grader. Even though you were amazing at basketball, you were short and only had the height of 4'9. Vic had long legs but was still shorter than Jonah who had the height of 6'1.

Victoria took out her lunch and started eating. She turned to Jonah and started talking about the Halloween costume contest.

"Oh uh, I already told y/n that I'd do it with her" he said. You looked up at him confused but let it go. you thought that it was your turn to start rubbing some hard truths into her face.

"Oh yeah" you say. "Didn't he tell you? He's gonna come over to my house and we're gonna make our own costumes."

Victoria looked a little heated.

"Jonah" she said. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

She took his hand and they walked over to the other side of the library. They looked like they were fighting.

"Don't worry" Sam said. "They do this a lot. They may seem like a cute couple whose perfect for each other when you first meet them but they're actually-"

"Super toxic" Chris interrupted. You nodded. You were a little less depressed now that you had acquired that new information.

The lunch bell had rung before Jonah and Vic were finished arguing. You went over there with Jonah's books.

"Sorry about...whatever...I'm interrupting here, but Jonah, are you ready? Cause I've got to get to seventh."

"Oh yeah, sorry" Jonah said turning, ready to leave. But before you two started walking away, Vic grabbed your arm and said, "I can take his books. We can walk to his next class together. You can run along and be wherever you need to be. I'm his girlfriend. Leave us alone".

Jonah turns to her and is about to say something but before he can, Vic takes the books out of your hands and storms out of the library.

"Sorry about her" he says to you. "She gets into these moods sometimes and the best thing that you can do is just give her some space."

"I understand" you say. "But, you better catch up with her because she's going downstairs with your shit when I know that you have another class on the third floor."

"Right" said Jonah, Turing to leave. As he walked out the door, you yelled, "and the costume contest?" Jonah turned to look at you and he yelled back, "Ill text you when I'm free".
