Chapter 8 - Let's Pretend

Authors note :
Hey there pretty peeps. New chap..
Enjoy!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What just happened? I can't freaking believe it. Did Jacob Robinson kiss me? Did he just put his arms around my waist as we both kissed each other for what felt like eternity. This must be a dream. It's not true is it?

I finally snapped back from my thoughts when I heard Jacob say "I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I kissed you. I wasn't in my senses. It was a mistake". We were still sitting on the grass quite close to each other. He held my hands in his own while he looked down. Not even making a slight eye contact with me.

That just stung hard. It felt like a sharp knife through the chest. But why did it hurt so much? I agree the kiss was a mistake. I never should have kissed him back when he pulled me in like that.

"Yeah, this was a mistake. Let's just pretend this never happened. Okay?" I replied with a fake smile. It hurt to say this. I even saw him flinch when I said this. That was the right thing to say right? I don't know what I'm feeling right now.. it's a stir of random emotions at the same time. He looked up at me, releasing my hands and nodded his head, not saying anything.

I got up to look at him "I should probably leave now, it's late. I have to reach home before my parents get worried." I said to him. "I'll just say my goodbyes to all of them."

"Yeah sure, I'm just gonna call them" he replied as he ran inside to get all of the others.

They all came to the backyard in a minute. Alex gave me a questioning look and mouthed "Is everything okay" I nodded at him and as Rachel looked at me suspiciously. I hugged my best friend and left without saying anything.

We didn't say anything to each other.

By 'we' I mean Jacob and me. We didn't even look at each other. We both had a dejected face the whole time.

"So you had fun with Jacob?" Noah asked me as I unlocked the door to our house.

"Yeah it was fine, You?"

" I had a lot of fun. Me and Sarah are thinking of maybe hanging out again some other time."

"That's nice" I replied, still maintaining a straight face and went upto my room.

Maybe it'll be better in school tomorrow.

*Next day*

I'm in school right now. First half is over. Me and Rach are sitting in the school cafeteria, we have our lunch period now. I don't feel cheerful at all today (don't know why?)

"Hey Jen babe, how are you? I can't believe I have maths next period, the first period after lunch. I --" she was interrupted as my gaze travelled towards the door from her. She looked too. I found Jacob entering with Alex by his side. He was discussing something with him maybe. He wore a green pullover with black jeans.
He looked up at me and instead of his normal glowing smile he ignored me... He ignored me? After what happened last night, he was gonna treat me like that? I wasn't expecting that from him.

Worse, he went over to Carmen's table? Seriously Jac? That's just sick.
He kept shooting glances at me as if trying to make me jealous. I also caught him looking at me when I was looking away and suddenly went back to where he was looking. (You guys get it right?)

This was just extremely frustrating. I'm not a girl who's just not gonna do anything about this. I have to talk to him even if he doesn't want to. Maybe just get him out of my life as soon as possible. If he was gonna do these things to hurt me like that, maybe he should just leave.

As soon as the last period bell rang, I ran to his class and found him talking to Carmen with Rick beside her. (Rick is another one of the populars if I haven't already introduced him. He's a player and is really dumb)

"Hey Jacob, can I please talk to you about something?" I called to him maintaining a distance from Carmen.
"Sure, what's up?" he said acting completely normal as if nothing happened.
"Alone?" I emphasized
"Why? You can say it in front of Carmen. She's a friend" he said casually, although I could see him hiding his emotions.

"I don't think-" Rick shot out his hand as he interrupted me. He came towards me as he stood tall and looked at me and said "Seems like he isn't interested in talking to you, maybe you and I can have a little more than talk?" he said moving closer to me as he moved his face closer to mine.

I panicked. Carmen was laughing her evil laugh looking like she was enjoying this. I just simply stood there nervously as he slowly moved his face much more closer now. I wanted to slap him, push him away but I don't know why I couldn't move a muscle.

I closed my eyes, tears flowing continuously, shivering waiting for the next thing when suddenly I heard a loud crash. I opened my eyes to look towards a injured Rick who was down on the ground holding his mouth in his hands and crying out loud. I looked at a very angry Jacob beside me. His hand made into a fist.

He took my hand, kissed the back of my hand, consoling me and looked back at Rick saying "Don't you dare put your eyes on her! Ever! Okay?"
Saying this, he took my hand and lead me out of the class and then the school. He sat me in his car. And closed the door

I didn't say anything. I couldn't find the right words to say after what happened. I just sat beside the drivers seat silently, not uttering a word and looked at Jacob beside me mumbling to himself angrily at how stupid he was to avoid me like that and what if he wasn't there to save me. I listened to his anger and frustration but didn't say anything. He dropped me off at home and I was about to get off from the car, I turned towards him taking the seat back and putting up the courage to ask him "What's going on Jac?" That was the first time ever I called him Jac. I mean sure I have called him Jac a lot of times in my head but never in person.

"Nothing, just nothing. I don't know what took over me but I just couldn't see you getting hurt by that idiot. How the hell can he put his eyes on you when you're min-" he stopped midway looking at me.

I knew what his words were gonna be. It's not that difficult to understand. I just sat there very shocked and then a straight face. All this was just very confusing. Sometimes he kisses me and then completely ignores me and then tries to make me jealous with hanging out with my enemies and then claims that I'm his. What is going on with him? I'm just really hurt right now and don't know what to say. But the only words coming out of my mouth are "Just leave me alone Jac! Don't talk to me from now on."

I didn't make any eye contact with him but could feel the hurt in his "Yeah, sure"

**
Next day went normal. I didn't even take a glance at Jacob. I was adamant on what I had said about not wanting to talk to him. But that didn't mean I didn't want to. So bad. I wanted to see him smile like he greets me everyday. The school got over soon. Too tired to even talk to anybody, I walked home alone.

Upon reaching home, I went upto my room to have a heavy sleep after this tiring day. I also had to talk to Rachel about not walking home with her today and telling her everything that happened today but I was too tired for it.

As I was going to sleep, I heard a knock on my window. At this time? Who could it be?

My mouth was wide open when I found myself looking at Jacob standing on my window sill!! Jacob? JACOB!!! What's he doing here?
