It All Started With One Stupid Mistake

Chapter 5: Zach's POV

I got off the phone with Kelly around forty minutes ago. I don't know why I'm so angry at her because she really didn't do anything, its all him, that stupid new guy. I saw the way he was looking at her, as if she was his prey and he wouldn't stop until he had her.

It made me so upset, especially with him going on about being her husband. That will never happen!!
See, neither Chelsea nor Kelly knows, but I've silently been crushing on Kelly since grade school. I didn't tell her because I doubt she would like me, I remember the day when I was going to tell her by the swings.

Flashback
"Zach!! Zach!!"I heard Kelly screaming my name when I was making my way over to the field to play soccer. I quickly ran over to the playground because that's where I heard her voice coming from. When I got there, I saw her sitting on the grass looking down at her knee and it looked as if she was crying.
I quickly approached her to find out what had happened.
"What's wrong Kelly? Did someone hurt you!?" I asked slightly alarmed at her tear stained face.
"I was swinging when a boy over there offered to push me higher and I said yes. He was pushing me just fine until he pushed me right out of the swing, laughed and ran away."she said while sobbing.
I looked over to where she was pointing but saw no one.
" What!? How could he do that, I am going to find him and I'm gonna..." she interrupted me and said "No Zach, don't worry about it, just help me up."
So I took her arms and was trying to help her up when I tripped over a stone behind me, fell and she fell right on top of me.
She looked at me bewildered, a tint of red stained her cheeks while she continued to stare at me.
"Kelly, I..." I stopped talking when I heard her mom yelling "Kelly!", I finally helped her to stand on her feet, she said thank you and ran off to her mother.

End of flashback

And from that day, I never tried telling her again. I was scared. I was scared she would reject me and tell me she doesn't like me that way. However, we've gotten closer since we got to high school and I decided that I would tell her this senior year but now it seems as if I shouldn't because he, is dragging himself into the picture.
Maybe Kelly doesn't like him because he has a big ego and he's always smirking, but with his good looks and charm, he probably as a better chance with her even though I've know her for a long time.

It got me so upset seeing him looking at her in the way I always look at her. The stupid assignment Kelly's teacher gave them might cause them to bond and even though I hate admitting it, she might fall for him.

Urgghhh!! I can't let this happen! I love Kelly way too much to let that jerk take her away from me and even worst, hurt her.

I have to do something about him. I've got to get dirt on him so I can prove it to Kelly that he is most certainly not, a nice guy.
Kelly's mines, I love her, I want to make her my wife someday and I'd be damned if I let that jerk take her away from me.

And that's chapter 5!
I know it's short but ion wanna give too much insight on his little plan for Jaquani or his life at home, just yet. You all gotta stay tuned for that. In the meantime, get yourselves ready for Jaquani POV because that will definitely be something.
