Heartbreaker | Jaden Hossler ✅

Part 35

Signa's POV:

I'm gently pushed to the other side of the bed by two bare hands, "Wake up or you're gonna be late".

Once I open my eyes, I'm dawned by who I never thought being here at this hour.

"You ended up reading the last messages..?" I sigh a question in between my third-party slumber.

"Yeah" He stares down at his phone, and I just now realize I must look like a dying seal in this position.

I sit up Immediately and feel the cold ambient trade heat with my body exactly the same moment I'm sat.

I'm still a little thrown off by Jaden. I don't get if he's a hoe for girls or just a guy who gets nothing emotional over chicks like me.

Last night the Hey I sent was for him. One text lead to the another and I kind of gave him a clue that I'd like to fix things. We're both weird, so we should both accept It.

I thought he fell asleep at my last messages, which there I had told him If he wanted to go to school together. He's not that far from home, but since he never replied, I thought he wouldn't want to accept the offer.

But now he's here, backpack ready and waiting for me to make a move and actually dress.

"What time is it?"

He looks down at his phone again, "7:40"

I get up and take some comfy clothes straight to the bathroom.

I dressed, washed up, and perfumed myself just for the occasion. Never had this happen to me, since I've only ever went to school with my brother and dad all this time.

I'm really just being taken to school by a random dude who I'm not used to doing this.

It's quite a good start to fixing things, right?

Once we follow down the stairs at the same pace, I look around for any sign of my family, but there was no sound or movement. Always the same in this stupid house. Freedom's nice but being surrounded by people is better.

"How'd you get in?" I ask a bit scared of his answer. Don't say you got in through any open window.

"I got here like an hour ago, so your parents opened up. I was early, to get someone who was still asleep. You don't know how fun It was to actually have to chat with your parents."

We opened the door and I locked It from the outside.

"They really talked you up? Beats me, they never even say hi to me." I reply like a crybaby.

I lack a lot of attention from my parents to this day, but I can't tell If It affects me to a large extent or not sometimes.

"They asked about you, but It was nothing more than talking about the incident." My arm is watched by his grainy, morning dough eyes.

"Well, that's super interesting to talk about.." I tucked my hands under my backpack's straps.

We continued walking in silence, as we followed the route to the closest bus stop. The one I suppose he used to leave yesterday after I scrambled complete nonsense at him.

What did I expect, him to grab my hands and plead for marriage? This isn't a wattpad story.

I breathe in, and back out.

Things will get better after today, I know this for sure.

The bus arrives shortly and I smile rewardingly when he grants me the windowed seat.

It does feel weird to be in this situation. I wasn't expecting this to happen, after I didn't receive a message last night.

Although, now If I check, he sent me an okay at 3 am. I was dreaming at that hour.

"How's Sig's arm?" He looks down at my covered skin and I push my thoughts to the back of my head just to observe him for a second.

"I haven't checked today" I look back down at It. "How did you see It yesterday?"

"Pretty fleshy after I.. hit It, but It looked okay other than that." He finally turns his head away and I can feel slightly trigerred as I remember It. 
He pushed me, and he accepted It.

Once we arrive, I tread down the middle of the bus to one of the exits. My vision totalling on my phone. Jaden has been on his phone the whole drive, so I just followed.

Before I could step on the stairs, I observed the steps with kind eyes. I wasn't falling today.

Either ways, I felt a hand grip to the top of my arm and hold me as I walked down.

My mouth slightly gapes at the action, but I let him guide me down from behind me.

He let go immediately once I stepped on the concrete.

Once we're walking in the school, I get that sense of guilt. A sense that keeps telling me to finally tell him what I've been feeling not only these past few days, but the months prior to this as well.

Maybe I'm wrong, yeah? Maybe I've fallen in love with an ideal of him that he'll never achieve when I finally meet him, but I only live once. I won't stay hidden in my own box without having contact with any guy just because I'm fully scared of being rejected.

I need to try at least once, so I learn for the next time. Everyone should think like that..

So.. "Jaden".

He hums at my request for his attention.

"I have no clue If you're down to talk about this" I kept moving and molding my hands in front of me, as If I were an architect, "but, I want to know what you see me as. Am I just your one or two time fling, or will you ever take this any further." I stop walking so he would stop as well.

We're not far from any of both of our classes, and to what I understood, they've already started. There was not a soul taking part in the luminous halls.

After the biggest question I have ever dared to ask a guy, will he be able to answer this?

It's just him and me here.
