                 Brad told Jack to stay with me wherever I went. I asked him what about the bathroom and Brad told Jack to stand outside the stall. So I guess I won't use the bathroom during my whole high school experience. I felt so cold. I kept crossing my arms over my stomach so the crop top wasn't as evident. While Jack and I are walking through the hallway, I try to talk to him. "So, how do you like living with your mom?" I ask, even though when I asked it I wasn't sure if it was a good question to ask. "Obviously it's way better than living with Brad." He says. I shrug. "But you're normal. He has nothing against you." I argue. He sighs. "It's not that easy to figure out. Brad is very complicated." He tells me. We stop at the locker that the guidance counselor said was mine. "I wish my dad was still alive. He died when I was 18 months old. Life's really sucked since then." I tell Jack. A guy with black-brown hair walks to the locker next to mine. "Hey, Romeo." Jack says to the guy, who was obviously made to play sports. I scrunch my eyebrows, then turn to the guy. "Is your name actually Romeo?" I ask. He looks passed Jack to me. He smiles. "Yeah, but you can call me whatever you want." He says. Jack rolls his eyes. "Well, do you play football, because I like guys who play football." I tell him. I used to watch football until I was 12. Kevin started working for the FBI when I was 12 and he liked controlling the TV and he was more of a baseball fan. Romeo nods. "I actually play football with Jack, well we're both offense. He's a wide receiver, I'm the quarterback." He tells me.
Don't be so stupid, Angel.
It was Jack who thought it, but I had no idea why. I wasn't being stupid, I was just talking to a guy.

I'm so ready for an epic love triangle. But with who? 😂Angel doesn't even like anyone at this point. She's pretty clueless, tbh. But honestly, who isn't?

Thanks for reading:))))))
