How can I not love you? (Student/Teacher)

Thirty-two

This weekend I hadn't done anything really, but today I decided to ask Demi, Rylee and Thalia to come over and do some shopping. I really needed some new dresses and shirts along with some underwear. No, I don't want new underwear to impress Daniel, I just really need new stuff.

Demi:
We are on our way! See you in 10 x

I jumped off the couch and ran upstairs to put on some make up and grab my shoes. Just when I was done I heard a car pulling up in the driveway. I went downstairs and walked to Demi's car stepping in and greeting the girls.

"So what are we going to shop for?" Rylee asked.

"Well I sure as hell need some new make up, almost everything I have is so old. I can't even make a good face with that stuff." Thalia responded

"I just need some new shoes. Mine are literally so old, I feel like I'm walking on my bare feet. What about you Jospehine?" Demi asked me.

"I just need new clothes and some underwear. The things I have now are so old and childish. All my good ones are ripped."

"Ripped? As in by a guy? Oehh you're a wild girl." Rylee interrupted

"No it's not like that! I don't even have a boyfriend. I've just worn them so much and so long that they started to shred." I laughed.

"I really don't understand how you can't have a boyfriend. You have a body and face to be jealous off. I would commit a murder just to look like you." Demi said.

"Oh please, you can't be serious. I'm really not that special. How come you don't have a boyfriend huh, you're just as beautiful!" I fired back. She really was a beautiful girl, but behind the act she put on I think she is really insecure. Even though she is the most popular girl in school. I am very glad I got to know her, the energy you get when she walks into a room is just so special.

"Because I think I might not be into guys.." she responded. Thalia, Rylee and I looked at eachother, not knowing what to say. Finally Rylee broke the silence. "You're serious? Are you into girls? Are you sure?"

She nodded "Yes I'm sure. I'm just so freaked out about this feeling. I feel like everyone expects me to be straight, just because I'm 'popular'. I hope you guys will just accept me the way I am."

"Oh Demi of course we will! Don't ever doubt we won't accept you. I'm glad you told us." Thalia responded.

I nodded as Demi pulled the car up into the parking lot of the mall. "Come on, I think we all deserve some shopping time!" I gave Demi a hug and we stepped out of the car.

After we had shopped all day we decided to stop at a restaurant and grab something to eat. Demi was relieved she had told somebody about her and that we accepted her. Thalia could not stop talking about Wesley and how bad she wanted to surprise him tonight. His birthday was in a couple of days, but she didn't want to surprise him on the day itself because that would be too obvious. Her words, not mine.

We were sitting at this booth, me on the end with sight on the other boots next to us. Next to me was Demi, then Rylee and across from me was Thalia. We ordered our food and drinks and were just catching up on the latest rumors of school when someone walked into the restaurant.

"Oh my god guys! Don't look but I think Mr. Hale just walked into here." Thalia whispered to us.

"What the hell is he doing here? Isn't this like the hangout spot for teenagers our age?" Demi said back.

Ofcourse I would be the one to sit with my back to the fucking entrance. I wanted to look so bad, but it would be to obvious if I would've just turned around. What is he doing here? I hadn't heard from him since he sneaked out of my damn window last Friday. Every text I send him, he ignored. Every time I tried to call him he wouldn't pick up. I even considered going to his house to see what was going on but I didn't want to look desperate.

"Who is that girl?" Thalia asked

Okay now I have to look. I turned around and saw that he was standing with his back to me. He was wearing a white polo with normal jeans and casual shoes. He wouldn't dress like that if he was on a date right? Hell, he couldn't even be on a date! I'm his girlfriend.
The girl he was with had blond straight hair and was wearing a red dress with low cut at the front which made her breasts be on full display. The red in her dress made her green eyes look even brighter. She was wearing silver earrings and a diamond choker.

"Josephine! Jeez stop staring!" Thalia yelled at me.

"Is somebody having a crush on her teacher?" Demi teased.

"Oh please I'm not having a crush on him. He lives across the street but I have never seen that girl. I'm just curious. I think Thalia here is the one who is having a crush."

"Well let's be honest, he is very handsome. And the age difference isn't that big of a deal. I would totally hit that!" She responded

"Oh god they're coming this way." Rylee interrupted.

I heard footsteps coming closer and when they passed us I saw he was holding his hand on her lower back, guiding her to the booth... next to us!

He sat down in the booth at the same place Thalia was in. Which meant that I had the perfect view on him, all he had to do was look my way and our eyes would meet.

The waiter came with our food and we started eating. I tried really hard not to look his way, I felt embarrassed for some reason. Like I had to hide from him or else everyone would know what was going on.

"So Josephine tell me, who did you buy that beautiful lingerie for? That bartender guy you work with?" Demi asked me

I looked up at her and saw that Daniel had turned his attention to us. He noticed me and I saw the 'shit I'm caught' look on his face. So I decided to play along with Demi.

"His name is Mason and maybe it is. I mean we made out a couple of times but I'm don't think I'm ready to be in a relationship yet. I think he is way to clingy and I don't like it. It's just for fun, we'll see what happens."

I saw the look on his face which gave me the assurance he heard what I had said. "But what about you and Wesley huh?" I asked Thalia to get the attention off me.

She kept on talking about her ideas and how she wanted to surprise him. I heard what she said but somehow I didn't really listen, all I could look at was that girl Daniel was with. Who is she? And how come he never mentioned her? He never mentioned a girl besides his sisters.

When we all finished our food and ordered our deserts I felt my phone buzzing.

Daniel:
Meet me at the bathrooms

I looked at him and saw he was looking at me. I looked away but saw he was getting out of his booth and walked over to the bathrooms.

"Guys I gotta go to the bathroom real quick. Be right back."

I stood up and walked after him. What the hell does he have to say for himself? I opened the doors and saw him standing there.

"Who the he..." he cut me off by slamming his lips on mine. I pushed him off and finished my sentence. "ll is that girl?"

"She's no one. Why the hell do you tell them you're gonna bang Mason!? You're mine remember? I'm your fucking boyfriend Josephine."

"I can't just tell them that right! And I wanna know who she is! Are you pretending to date her so people won't question if there is anything going on between us or something?" I fired back

"She's just a girl I know from college. She just moved back in town and she wanted to grab dinner, I told her I'd take her out but she thought it was a date."

"Did you date her in college?"

He looked me in the eyes and nodded. "So you're telling me that you're going out with your ex? Who by the way is having a dress slit up to her fucking clit in case you hadn't noticed yet. She is totally trying to impress you while your actual girlfriend is sitting right in front of you! Were you with her this weekend? Is that why you have been ignoring me?!"

I felt my anger getting the better of me and walked out of the bathroom. Knowing that if I would stay, things would get out of hand.

I know I shouldn't be getting so upset about this, it's just that I want to have a boyfriend I can just hangout with whenever I want. I know what I was putting myself into when I started this relationship with him but that doesn't mean he can just shut me off whenever his ex comes back to town.
