Future Favorite Regret (Jalex)

5: Kill Me with Words

Title: Jasey Rae by All Time Low

Tay and I ended up not sharing any of the same classes. It's sad, and I wish she had Jack's schedule.

"As I was saying, I swear you could hear the sound of a grandma being shot," Justin shudders. Out of nowhere, a carton of milk is thrown at us. It hits the table and spills. Thankfully, it doesn't hit any of us.

"Food fight?" Justin looks up and picks up his apple. He bites into it. 

My first five bells were relatively boring. Trace isn't here today, so science wasn't too bad. Mrs. Wick is still a nightmare. 

The weird thing is, Jack didn't show up for history, but I passed him in the hallway. 

Maybe he's doing drugs. 

I sigh at the dumb thought. 

"I hate people," Lisa groans and she tosses the carton of milk into the trash. Someone across the cafeteria laughs.

"GAYSCARF."

I press my lips together. Tay hangs her arm over my shoulders and leans close to me. 

"Don't let them get to you. They just want a reaction," she whispers. I look up and see Jack staring at me.

Apparently, Rian noticed too. He scoots his chair to block the view. Kind of like what Jack did in free bell...

Stop thinking about him. 

I silently thank him. "Suddenly, I feel like everyone's targeting me," I mumble. 

"Actually... I feel that way too. Usually, someone makes fun of all of us- but it's just been you," Kellin says slowly. 

I shrug. "It's weird. Maybe they gathered and planned something. I guess I'll just be careful."

"Hey, if you need someone beat up, I'll get them," Vic offers. "I know a thing or two about combat."

Kellin looks at Vic like he's Superman. Then, he goes red and looks away from Vic.

"Thanks, but violence is never the answer, is it?" I mumble softly and look down at the table. I fiddle with my fingers. 

"I guess," Vic mumbles. "The offer still stands though."

"Oh fuck," Rian grumbles. "Guess who has a doctor's appointment?" He laughs nervously, obviously trying to change the subject. "With pervy Steve."

Justin shudders. "He was my doctor when I was younger, and I think he might have been staring at my dick for way too long."

"He's my new doctor because my other one moved," Rian sighs. "I leave before 7th bell."

"Lucky," Kellin says. "I already hate English class. Trace just ruins everything." Justin nods, agreeing. 

"Alright, enough with the dramatic talk. How drunk do we wanna get this weekend? I was thinking black-out drunk-"

"NO!" Everyone shouts. He yelps and falls into the floor.

"Jesus- you didn't have to scare me," he grumbles.

~~~

The bell rings and we separate. I walk with Vic to art.

"So, be honest with me, do you like Kellin?" I ask. Vic gives me a look and his cheek slowly tint pink. "I won't tell, but the curiosity is killing me."

He moves to dodge a kid running through the hall. "Well uh, what does a crush feel like?"

I give him a shocked look. "What? Have you never-"
