His Rebound

||Chapter 1||

||Chapter 1||

“you’ve got to be kidding me!” i exclaim pushing my locker shut. There is no way this happened. It is the most shocking news of this decade.

“No, I’m not! They broke up! Girls in gym class were saying that he’s devastated but when I overheard him talking to his friends it seemed like he was happy... I actually shipped both of them. They were like my OTP.” Alyssa says bobbing her head as she pulls her English text book out of her locker.

“They were your OTP?! I’d rather ship Haylor.” I say and Alyssa’s eyes go wide. “Actually no, I take that back, Haylor was much worse.” She nods still slightly disturbed by the thought of me shipping Haylor. We both are hard core Directioners and that’s actually how we became friends. Last year we both slammed into each other wearing the same One Direction t-shirt and BAM! We became friends. “My point is, both of them are A-class stuck up bitches.” I say referring to the newly heartbroken, most talked about couple/ ex-couple of Downtown High.

“Exactly my point!” she exclaims excitedly making me laugh.  “Ohhhh here he comes” she says and I know exactly whom she’s talking about. Both of us open our locker door again and duck our heads inside begging and praying to God that he won’t notice us today.

I groan almost loudly when I feel someone tap my shoulder. I roll my eyes and fix my hoodie before slowly turning around and facing him.

“Alaina, Where are you? I can’t see you under that massive hoodie of yours.” He says smirking. Oh how I wish I could slap that smirk off his face. I take deep breaths as his so called “friends” laugh along with him, trying to calm myself down.

“Why don’t you go and try to find your lost girlfriend, Jakey.” I smirk using the name his Jake’s mum uses for him, knowing how much it annoys him.

His nose flares with anger and his fists clench. I hear Alyssa giggle from her locker and my smirk widens. “Don’t push it, Alaina.” He says through his gritted teeth.

“Oh, am I the one who’s pushing it, Jakey? That’s not how you treat your neighbour now, do you?” I say lifting my bag up from the floor and shut my locker before turning on my heels and waking towards my nest class. Alyssa follows closely.

“He’s going to kill you one day” she whispers giggling. “But it’ll be worth it, I swear.”

“Yeah right.” I say rolling my eyes.

Yes, that’s right, Jake Wills, the hottest, most charming and most popular guy of Downtown High is my neighbour. But I don’t really get what all the fuss is about? He is just another boy next door with those amazing blue eyes and beautiful dark chocolate brown hair and those perfectly tan biceps he shows when he wears muscle tees and I’m not even going to start about his abs. Ugh. The inner fangirl never dies.

He had been in a relationship with Angela for the past 8 months, not that I was counting. He never liked her though. They always fought when they were alone, screaming and yelling at each other. My closed windows failed to block her high pitched voice coming from his room.

Oh! I forgot to tell you all, Jake and I are not only neighbours, but we can also see each other’s rooms from our balconies. We can also use the tree in between to cross over if we wanted to.. you know like in those cliché Wattpad stories. We’ve been neighbours since a very long time and we actually got along when we were little. For example, when we were five, our families always took us to the beach and Jake always threw sand in my eyes. When we were eight, he stuck his chewing gum in my hair. When we were 14, he smashed my birthday cake on my face.

Yeah, we got on really well.

It has almost been a week since we started our senior year and when Jake saw people started giving less crap about his relationship with Angela, he dumped her. At least that’s how I think it is. As far as I know Jake, he doesn’t believe in love. But he sure does love his fame. Girls at school are probably throwing themselves at him and trying to make sure that Angela didn’t hurt his “feelings” much. Douchebag.

***

The rest of the day goes smoothly without any unwanted interruptions by some unwanted people. Alyssa tells me about everything possible gossip she has collected by eavesdropping. I shake my head and bite my lip to stop myself from laughing when she tells me about how Angela is spreading rumours about Jake having herpes. Now the real question is, did he give it to her? Or did he get it from her?  

But then Alyssa says something that catches my full attention, “What?”

“Yeah, it’s true. I overheard Hayden talking to Jake about getting a rebound. You know like a girl to get over-“

“I know what a rebound means, Aly!” I say almost annoyed by the fact that soon a poor girl is going to become Jake’s target and he is not going to care about her feelings at all.
