Just Another Girl To You

Eight

"What's their deal?" Louise asked me in a hushed voice.

"Hmm?"

"Them," she said pointedly, referring to the people beside us.

Oh. It's them again.

Jaz and Lei.

Ugh.

"Dunno, they're always like that anyway," I finally replied, rather sulkily.

"No, look-" she turned me to the side.

And look, I did.

He looked upset. He gaze cast downward, his shoulders slumped unhappily. He wasn't even speaking! Oh, something really must be wrong, for he was normally so loud and tenacious.

And the girl....

Lei was just sitting there, going on with whatever she was doing, seemingly unaware of Jaz.

Was she responsible for his forlornness?

If so; what did she do?

I am so going to find out.

And if proven guilty; I'd get her back for it, one way or the other.

"They like each other?!" I gasped.

"Yeah. I mean, we've known that he likes her for a long time already." Louise gently reminded me.

"Well, yes, but, I thought it'd pass. Like they're just "fuck buddies" or something..." Ugh, why am I so upset about it.

Turns out being in denial doesn't help in the long run...

"Wait, you said they liked each other," I began, wanting to know more. "So she likes him too? But I thought she just recently said that she doesn't like him?"

"I don't know! They're too complicated to figure out. Too caught up in each other's shit. For all we know, they could've just broken up right now." Louise told me, bewildered.

"Well, it'd be much better for everyone if they kept their affairs private..."

His silence and sulking continued. Days later, we found out he was courting another girl, whilst crushing on another.

The cycle is tiresome isn't it? It's all Jaz falls for girl, Jaz "moves on", Jaz gets a new girl.

I therefore conclude: either Jaz has commitment issues, or he's just a huge jerk.

(I honestly think it's the latter.)

A/N: I'm not much of a conversation writer. I can't write conversation, it's mostly thought. But oh well, I tried.

Thanks for reading! There'd be more depth and insight in the following chapters. The drama and all the tears would start.

That's pretty much it. I'm so bummed right now, so I'm not really into writing a good note.
