Stop in the Name of Love (Completed)

Chapter 14

School with a boyfriend is weird to say the least. I've gotten used to seeing him and spending most of my free time with him. Lunch is lonely when he has detention, Trevor was picking on some freshmen and Jordan stepped in, he'll have lunch detention again tomorrow.

I chew my sandwich way longer than I need to as I stare at the math homework I have pulled out. I mostly doodle crappy little doodles on the page seeing as I got confused and frustrated after two questions. My attention is drawn by a nearby table where I hear two girls whispering, I hear them whisper my name.

"I can't believe they're actually dating," One girl whispers.

"What does she see in him, she's so... So...  Basic and he's nothing but trouble," The other girl replies.

"Yeah but have you seen him? That body is worth the trouble," They both start giggling.

I let out a long groan and bury my head in my arms. So much for this all blowing over, I can't say I'm surprised though; Jordan is notorious around school for his fights, and he's only ever had one or two casual relationships, and then there's me, no one ever really knew I existed and now suddenly I'm dating one of the most well known boys in school? This is going to be a shit-storm.

"Oh. My. God! There's no way he's really going to sit with her," I hear the girls whispering again, I look up and suddenly see what they're talking about.

Dominic is walking towards me. I feel the color drain from my face when he smiles at me. I don't really want to deal with this today. He sits across from me, his eyes narrow.

"Jordan Mars, huh?" He folds his hands together on the table, "I'm surprised. I thought you would have had better taste."

I glare at him, "There's nothing wrong with Jordan," I mumble.

"Oh yeah? Where is he right now? He's either a shitty boyfriend and left you alone here or he's a shitty person and is in detention," He shrugs his shoulders, "Doesn't matter though, I wanted to talk to you about the babysitting offer, have you thought about it? My parents still haven't found anyone they like."

"I have a lot on my plate Dominic. I work six days a week, I have homework, I'm trying to make time for a date night with Jordan. My boss says he can rearrange my schedule to make time for it but I want to talk to Jordan about it. Ok?"

He nods an reaches for my hand, "You have my number for when you decide," He looks me up and down with a grin, "Or if you need anything else."

With that he rises from the table and leaves, once he's gone I roll my eyes and look back to my homework. The numbers in front of my are proving more bearable than my classmates. I power through and finish two more problems before the bell. Shoving everything in my bag I scurry out of the lunchroom to the halls. I'm so annoyed with being stared at, Jordan is good at dealing with it but I just feel exposed. Class offers a sanctuary in the fact that no one can focus on anything once in class.

Two more hours, just two more hours and then Jordan can drive me to work. He promised to take a look at my truck tonight, see if he can't get it started again. I scribble notes in my notebook and watch the clock. I truly couldn't care less about Spanish verb tenses today, or any day this week. I want to see Jordan, I want my truck to work, and I want to go home.

Jordan promised me this weekend we could go out, I need to talk to him about Dominic's offer tonight seeing as that could interfere with any plans we make.

My mind is going a mile a minute until the bell rings. I've never shoved my stuff in my bag so quickly. I brush through the crowds in the hallway until I reach the door to my next class. I stand there waiting, tapping my foot until Jordan appears. His smile eases my nerves and his fingers wrap around mine.
