The Bad Boy (Jack Gilinsky)

Chapter Forty Two

I had spent the whole day going through what I was going to say to Jack later. I was just going to be straight up and honest because there was really no other way to do it. I was just going to tell him that the kiss with Sam meant nothing which it didn't. I like Sam but no more than as a friend. And it took me until I lost Jack to figure that out.

I strolled in to detention to see Jack sprawled across two chairs. Hands behind his head and head leaned back. He didn't notice me walking in and neither did the teacher. I dropped my bag on the table with a bang. Jacks' head shot right up as he moved is feet so he was sitting normally. I noticed his body stiffen as I sat down and he kept looking forward. I looked around me to see that we were the only two there.

"Right, now that everyone is here, we will begin. Detention is an hour, no talking, you can do homework or study but that is it. No phones or other electrical equipment. I'll be in and out of my office but that still doesn't mean I won't catch you talking" The teacher told us.

I knew from others that the teacher usually leaves 10 minutes into it and comes back 10 minutes before it ends. I waited impatiently for him to leave. Glancing from the clock to the teacher and back again. I didn't look at Jack because I knew it would just be awkward. Eventually after 10 minutes the teacher got up and as soon as the door closed I turned to Jack. He kept looking forward, pretending he couldn't see me looking at him.

"Are you going to talk about this or are you going to avoid the topic for the rest of the year?" I asked him growing impatient by how childish he was being. "We're not meant to be talking" He said without turning to me. "Fine, if you want to be immature about this.." I said taking my bag and standing up. "Wait..I'm giving you 2 minutes to explain" Jack told me as if it was a grand prize to be given 2 minutes to talk to him.

I smirked as I sat down and he turned to face me. There was a silence for a moment. "Are you going to say anything?" He asked me, raising an eyebrow. "Didn't really think I'd get this far to be honest" I said. He scoffed in annoyance.

"Wow someones lost their sense of humour.." I said under my breath. He didn't say anything so I assumed he didn't hear me. "Jack" I began but he cut me off. "Yes?" He said trying to annoy me. "It meant nothing" I said honestly. "What meant nothing? us? oh I know, you made that pretty obvious" he said folding his arms in front of his chest. "You're such a fucking child" I yelled at him. Right at that moment the teacher walked in and I swung back around into my chair and pretended to read the book that was in front of me.

He didn't stay long, just went into the desk and got an envelope. As soon as he left I turned back to Jack. "The kiss meant nothing you fucking idiot" I don't know what it was about Jack, he just made me insane and he was trying to piss me off on purpose. I don't really curse that much it's just he annoys me beyond appropriate words.

"If it didn't mean anything why did you do it?" He asked in a sour tone. "Because I was mad at you!" I told him. "That's not an excuse" He said shaking his head. "Oh as if you're the angel in this, you've done a lot worse" I told him defensively. "Oh yeah? what?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows. "Ehm? Sophie?" I said as if it wasn't obvious. His body stiffened for a moment as he cleared his throat. "That was a long time ago.." He said weakly. "Oh so that automatically makes it okay? Does it?" I asked him. I know I was being harsh but he needed to hear it. He was being an idiot and needed to be put back in his place.

"This has nothing to do with Sophie, this is about you, me and Sam" He said attempting to change the subject. I rolled my eyes. "No it isn't it's about you and me. Sam and me are nothing and deep down you know that. You're just acting like this because I hurt you and you don't want to show it" I told him. "Pfft..I don't even care, do what you want" He said shrugging. "If you don't care why did you go so insane?" I asked him. "Because I was just done" He said shrugging. "Done with what? with us?" I asked him. He let out a deep breath. "Yeah, pretty much" He said. "So you feel nothing for me anymore?" I asked him.

"Nothing" He said in a casual tone. "Fine, let's see if you feel nothing after this" I said getting up and straddling his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck and looked into his shocked eyes. I leaned in and pressed my lips to his. I could feel his hesitation but he eventually kissed me back. We kissed for a few seconds before I leaned out. "Nothing?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Absolutely nothing" He said without hesitation. My heart completely dropped because I actually thought he meant it this time. I have never been so embarrassed in my life as I stood up again. 

I couldn't even look at him anymore. I got up out of my seat and ran to one of the back tables, hanging my head in humiliation.
