My Very Own Love Story (a high school romance) (on hold)

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

It had been about a week and I was grounded from not coming home from Kassidy’s on time. I was at my grams house and it was sunday around four pm. I was on facebook talking to people when my friend Austin got on.

Austin: hi

me: heyy

A few minutes went by and then he again sent hi. So I just went with it and wrote him back. Asking what was up and he said not much. After a few minutes of not talking he decided to write something random and very weird.

Austin: did u know that u are cute

me: what?

Austin: u are cute, in a good way

I was so confused because we had been over the fact that he didn’t think I was cute, and I didn’t think that he was either. We were both just friends. So hearing this threw me off. Eventually after about five minutes he wrote back apologizing. Apparently his brother had written that, and so I was even more confused. Just then his brother wrote me this time using his account.

James: hows going out with John?

me: ehh kinda horrible

With that James got off and so I was scared he would tell John. Eventually about two hours later he got back on and so I decided to seize the opportunity and make sure he wouldn’t tell anyone.

me: so your not gonna tell anyone i said that right?

James: ya i wont

me: kay thanks

James: mhm, so jw u think im hot?

me: so uhmm that was random? but yeah a lil i guess

We talked for a while and then I said I had to go and headed home. I was really confused as to why he would ask me that, but I shook it off and jumped in the shower as soon as I was home.

The next morning I woke up straightened my hair and headed off for school. It was a white day, so that meant I would sit with John and his friends, because last white day he sat with me and mine. The morning dragged on but eventually lunch came and I went to find John. We sat down at his table soon after James came to sit down at the table too. Since he was friends with John, it was normal to see him here. What was abnormal, was that a little bit after Kevin came to sit at the table too. He didn’t talk to me, at all and we hadn’t really since the fight. I was eating making sure not to get anything on my face, as that would be embarrassing, when I received that paranoid feeling you get when someone is looking at/watching you. I looked up pretending to try and find Jasey and noticed that James was looking at me. I smiled at him and he quickly put his head down. I looked to my side and saw that John was resting his hand on his chin looking at me and it was kind of creepy. I smiled at him and then looked over at Kevin. He too was staring at me. What the fuck is this, stare at Jackalin day? I wondered to myself. It was really awkward so I got up and dumped my tray. When I came back James and Kaden went up to dump their trays and then they left.

After the bell rang ending lunch I walked to my locker to get my stuff. The last two classes (freshman essentials and french) flew by and then I walked back to my locker to get my purse. I saw John come running down the hall stuff still in hand and I laughed. He put his stuff on the window sill next to my locker and then gave me a hug. I was turned facing one end of the hall when I saw James walking alone watching me hug John. Truthfully he looked a little jealous but that thought very quickly left my mind. I mean why would he be jealous of me and John? At this point John who was still hugging me picked me up. I laughed a little trying to make him happy my mind and eyes on James, and his still on me. Eventually I was let down and then John looked down at me.

“I love you babe, and I’ll see you tomorrow.” He said walking away.

For some reason James randomly started looking extremely pissed. Again I was thinking maybe he was jealous, but like the last time I threw that away. I mean he was good looking if you asked me, he had a great personality from what I had seen, and he could probably get most any girl he wanted, most of the girls he dated anyways were extremely pretty. Thinking of this made me just kinda close my eyes and laugh. With that I finished getting my stuff then headed out to get on the bus.
