I Don't Understand You (Jon Cozart Fanfic)

Hanging Out

"So, she dumped him even though she was never dating him in the first place" Layla finished.

"Wow, that story was so interesting!" I say sarcastically. Layla just rolls her eyes. We are in Science mixing chemicals and doing experiments. I finish writing something and as I look up I see Layla with a concerned face. "What?" I ask.

"Whats bothering you? I know somethings up". I don't want to tell her what I am thinking right now, because I am thinking about Jon. If I tell her I am thinking of him, who knows what she would say. But then again, she is my best friend, and has never done anything to hurt me. "I'm not sure I want to tell you right now" I say plainly.

"Come on! You always say 'A problem shared is a problem halved' ", and she is right, I do always say that. "fine." I sigh.

"So, Jon and I were walking home and I almost stepped out infront of a car-".

"Oh my god! Are you okay?" She asked me concerned.

"If I wasn't fine, I wouldn't be here" I remind her. "Anyway. So Jon put his hand on my to push me back a little from the car. And as he did, I felt, weird. I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach and a lump in my throat" I tell her. As I tell her this, her jaw slowly drops. "What?" I ask.

"I could tell you, but your not going to like it" she says shaking her head.

"Tell me." I say firmly.

"You are falling for Jon!" She whispers so that none of the other students over hear.

"What?! No!" I yell, but not too loudly because I don't want a detention for yelling in class.

"That is what love feels like Sage. Its about time you felt that emotion". I have only ever had three boyfriends, but I didn't feel anything for any of them. I just used them to stay popular and just for the sake of sayong I had a boyfriend.

"No! We are too different, and we both don't like eachother" I point out.

"You cant just ignore it. Its there, you like him" She says. I then feel myself growing angry and upset. But also I feel kind of happy. "I like Jon" I say in my head. As I say it, my heart flutters slightly and my anger fades away a little. I try not smile as I think that I might be falling for someone for the first time in my life! But then I remember who I am and who he is. We don't get along, I find him annoying, he finds me, I quote "stuck up" and "stubborn", we just don't understand eachother.

"No! I can't - I mean, I don't like him!" I say. Layla just rolls her eyes.

Jon and I had Maths together as our last lesson. To be honest, I had never noticed Jon was in my maths class until today. As the last bell went I skipped over to him. "Wow, someone's happy today" He smiles as he picks up his books. "Nope, I just wanted to skip" I tell him.

"So your not happy?" He questions me confused.

"No I am but-"

"But what?" He asks poking my shoulder. As he does I get that same tingle.

"Argh! To many questions!" I say. He laughs a little. We walk out of school together, but almost complete opposite sides of the hall, mainly because someone like me, and someone like him, can't be see together. We don't talk, but keep looking over to him and secretly wondering if he has been looking at me. But he is just looking down at the ground. As we get out of the door we start walking down the street to mine. "So..." Jon starts, "How was your day?". I give him a smile that says 'Really? Thats all you could think of to say?' . "Good" I say looking down. 

"Cool..." we both walk along in silence.

"How was yours?" I ask. I then look up to see h smiling. Probably at the fact that I actually asked him how his day was instead of ignoring him.

"It was great" He smiled. We walk along talking about our days for a bit until we reach my house. I unlock the door and step in. "Your house is amazing" Jon says as he steps through the door.

"Who's there?" A mans voice says. Its my older brother, Jake. He strolls into the hall where me and Jon are standing. "Sagey babe!" That is my pet name that my family call me and people who are really close to me. Jon gives me a funny look as he hears this name. I slowly start turning red.

"I told you not to call me that infront of people!" I snap.

"Well I didn't know someone was here!" Jake snaps back, taking a bite of an apple in his hand. He then looks over to Jon, scanning his clothes and look. A smile then appears on Jake's face, and I know he is going to do something terrible...
