Chapter 3 : hurt.
After seeing who it was, I stepped in between them and shouted, "Stop it!"
Drake Mendez, Jarred's opponent, picked up his backpack from the floor and stood behind me.
Drake is the player of the school, you could say. He's not a jerk but he's very cocky. His ego goes up beyond extreme. And no, he isn't a rich boy. He's an average, let's go with that. There's a lot of rumors about him but I usually shut out the words they say before listening so I don't really know much about him except that he is a player, isn't a rich boy, and that he is the quarterback for our football team. The last fact kinda was expected from such a cliché school like mine.
I don't really pay attention to school gossip. I like to know something about someone when they say it to me, instead of me hearing it from a random stranger at school who probably don't even know Drake.
Everybody turned off their phones and groaned. They loved watching fights, but hated seeing somebody break it apart. So they shot a glare towards me, then they all wandered off.
I bent down and helped Jarred up, "Are you okay?" I asked Jarred softly, a frown escaping.
"Tell your damn boyfriend to keep his damn tongue out of Alicia's mouth!" Drake snapped, Alicia running to his side looking flustered.
Huh?
I looked at Jarred with disgust and hurt, backing away slowly.
Why would he do this to me? I really really like him. I was of course, cautious. I couldn't afford another slip up like last time. Yet, here I am, going through it again. It's the same James situation all over again. And people wonder why I never let Jarred in.
Good news is: I didn't get too attached. I least it just hurts a bit -- a lot.
My eyes filled with salty tears, "Jarred?" I looked at him for confirmation. His hazel eyes looked down at the floor and a heard a sigh.
"Why did you do it?" I sobbed.
"I-I .." Jarred choked out as he continue to gaze at the floor as if it were the most interesting thing men had invented.
"You know they're together, you know we're together! Why did you kiss that slut?" I yell at him, tears escaping freely.
"You did not just say that!" Alicia pouted and looked up at Drake, expecting her 'big bad boyfriend', to do something.
I was tired of being the victim. I was tired of all this pain. My father just died not so long ago, and now I have to deal with this!?
Every time she insults me or pushes me around, I let it slide. But right now, she better not say anything.
"I don't want to start anything, Drake. I'm just not in the mood." I say trying to calm down a bit as I rub my temple and glare at a grounded Jarred.
