I'm not jealous

Chelsea POV

It had been a few weeks since Jake got back from Spain but I was starting to regret doing what I did.

Jo wouldn't leave him alone and he kind of ditched me.

It was a good thing I had Emily and Rebecca, but it still felt weird not hanging out with Jake all the time.

I understood that he's allowed to have other friends but every time I saw them together I just got this weird feeling. It's as if it made me... angry.

I tried not to think about it and got on with other stuff.

The worst possible thing caused by Jake and Jo's new friendship was that Daniel Moore was back to bugging me at every second if the day.

I'm guessing he thought that now Jake was out of the way, he would have another chance with me. What I don't get, is why it makes a difference if Jake's there or not. I'm not dating Jake, so why does everybody think that?

Luckily Emily and Rebecca were there to protect me whenever he came near. Not that I need protecting, but I'm not very good at fighting back and saying no to things. So when I was walking home without Jake he came up and tried walking with me. That wouldnt be a problem if  his presence didnt bother me.

"Hey Chels," he said, draping am arm around my shoulder.

"What do you want?" I spat and wriggled free.

"Where's Jake? Doesn't he normally walk you home? Is he with his new girlfriend?"

I groaned. "Jo isn't his girlfriend and neither was I. She's just a girl that happens to be his friend!" I hissed at him.

"Sure,"

He didn't stop and turn around. He carried on walking me all the way home. I didn't want him to obviously, but I just didn't know how to get rid of him.

I saw Jake going into his house but I quickly looked away and tried to go into my own house. But Daniel grabbed my arm and made me face him.

"Wh-" I tried to get him off but he wouldn't budge. Then he leaned down and-

I forgot that I used to go to karate classes. What an idiot! I could have got rid of him a long time ago. At least now he wouldn't bother me again. Not for a very long time.

A couple weeks later, I heard Jake telling Jo that he has to have a babysitter that weekend. Then Jo said he didn't have to if he wanted to go to the cinema with her mates. Knowing Jo, it be a 15 rated movie. Sue wouldn't let him go to that.

Ugh this was torture! And it was all my fault! Why did I have to give Jo's stupid phone number to Jake?

"You're jealous aren't you Chels," Emily said.

"Wha- of who?" I asked.

"Of Jo and Jake. You've been staring at them all lesson. Ever since they started hanging out you've just stared and you should see you face,"

"What's wrong with my face?"

"Oh, you know, that face you make when your jealous of something,"

"I'm not jealous!"

"Sure..."

I wasn't jealous... was I? After all, I did get a weird feeling every time I saw them. No! I wasn't jealous.

It turns out that Jake wasn't allowed to go to the cinema in the end. I found this out when Jo texted me.

[Jo: Normal Chelsea: Bold]

Hey Chelsea X

Hi Jo
What's up?

Nothing, just bored. Wanna go to the shopping centre with us later? X

Uh hang on I'll check if I can go

I really didn't want to go. Not with Jo. But I didn't have anything better to do and Jake would probably be there, so I thought why not?

Sure I can go

Coolie xx
Jake's not coming, he's boring af

Oh, so Jake's boring? She certainly didn't think that when she kept nagging at me to get his phone number.

Oh that's a shame. I'll see you there I guess x

Ugh. That shopping trip was torture. We went in every single clothes shop there was, got our nails done and got McDonald's.

Okay maybe the last one wasn't bad but everything else was sooo boring!

As much as I like clothes, I didn't want to spend a total of 3 and a half hours looking at them.

I realise that she didn't ask me to go out for kindness. She wanted as many people as possible and didn't want Jake because he didn't go to a movie that was too old for him. She's toxic.

The only problem was, I had to find out a way to warn Jake without him getting hurt.

It turns out  didn't have to do anything to convince him. He figured it out himself.

A few weeks after the cinema problem, Jo had apparently asked Jake to cover for her while she was off doing who knows what. He did it the first time, by saying to her dad that she was at his house if he rang, but after getting talked to by Sue and Peter it turns out he realises that it's wrong. Therefore, he refused to cover for her the second time.

You may be worth during how I found out. Jake came up to me after school and apologised for ditching me for Jo. He explained all of the stuff I said before on our normal walk home.

I'm glad that things are back to normal. The school year was almost over and it was a great way to end it.

A/N thank God that Jo's gone😂. I really do hate her.

Anyway, that's the end of part 2 so there may be a small gap in between now and the next chapter but I'll try to update as soon as possible.

I hope you like series 3 because that's what the next few chapters will be based on!

Have a great day : )
