           |Chapter Seven:Justin's POV|

Once I woke up the first thing I did was check up on Selena.

I knocked on her door a few times.I got no answer.I was about to go through the door. When out of nowhere Jazmyn spoke.

"Your girlfriend left about two hours ago." The thirteen year old spoke.

"What?!"

"Yeah,she just said bye to mom and I after breakfast and left without any other word." she said and strolled back into her room.

I guess I'll catch up to her in school.

"Oh, okay." I tried to play it off as if my little feelings weren't hurt.

"Nice black eye." Jazzy commented out of nowhere. I rolled my eyes at her childish remark.

"Shut up."

"Has mom said anything about it?" She chuckled.

" I told her how I got it the other night. She just told me to be careful." I shrugged.

" What an idiot." She laughed popping a grape in her mouth.

"Shut up." I groaned.

"Was it because of Selena?" Jazzy smirked.

"What's it to you?" I mutter sitting down to eat a bowl of cereal.

" I'm just asking! She's nice, I like her. I don't see how she likes you though."

"She doesn't like me, we're just friends."

"Doesn't seem that way." She said before disappearing into the kitchen.

I can never win.

                               +++

"Selena Gomez?" The teacher called out attendance.

Absent.

I got slightly worried. I'd look up every time the door opened or closed as if she'd walk in any second.

She didn't of course.I've tried texting her a few times,obviously with no reply.I wonder why she decided to skip school.

                                +++

All through the first two classes I couldn't concentrate.My head would just snap in the direction of the door,hoping Selena had just walked in.

I'm rapidly shaking my leg just wanting school to end. Suddenly, a ball of notebook paper is thrown in front of me.I opened it carefully not wanting to catch the teachers attention and kept it out of sight.

The note read-

Where's Selena?I haven't seen her all morning?
-Demi

I looked over in her direction, and I shrugged. As if I knew.

Aren't you her best friend?

"I don't know" I mouthed she eyed me suspiciously as if I knew something.

I gave her a questioning look.

                                 +++

"What do you know about Selena?" I was bombarded with questions at lunch.

"I don't know anything." I told them.

"Do you know why she texted me last night, something about covering her?" Taylor raised her eyebrows at me.
