Anyways, in this story I've sort of added extra things to the plot (like Jack liking Alex) but have done nothing to expand on those so this chapter's more focused on Jack. Maybe the title will give you a hint on what happens in this chapter (it's not as exciting as you think)
Okay byeeee

Jack's POV
"No, you're cuter!"
"No, you are!"
"No, you are!!" I tried not to throw up in my mouth as Hayley and Alex repeated the same annoying sentence over and over again. We get the point; you're both fucking cute! I didn't know it was possible to be a 9th wheel but it looks like I am one; Alex, Hayley, Brendon, Ryan, Frank, Gerard, Tay, Jenna and I were on our way to the nearby park to chill and hang out, since we had two free periods next to each other. Jenna and Tay aren't dating obviously but they were best friends and were only speaking to each other so I was basically alone. I hate to sound selfish but I'm not enjoying myself. The couples are all holding hands and being cute whilst I'm sulking behind them. Why did I agree to come? Oh yeah, because Alex is here. Note to self: don't come to a thing if Alex is with Hayley.
"Hey, lighten up Squidward!" Jenna poked my cheek as her and Tay started to walk next to me. I grumbled in reply.
"Awh, just cos you're alone doesn't mean you have to be all moody!"
"Well, everyone else is too busy swooning over each other to talk to me, and you two are just gossiping amongst yourselves, so why shouldn't I be moody?" I snapped harshly at the blonde girl. Jenna frowned slightly.
"If you cared to come over and join us, you could've helped us make ship names for the couples but whatever"
"Haylex, Ryden, Frerard" I spat out, coming up with those words on the spot. The two girls looked impressed. I don't see why; it's just another reminder that the three of us are single.
"Well maybe we should find you a girlfriend!" Tay piped up. Jenna nodded in agreement. But I don't even like girls! Girls are gross! No one knows that though.
"No thanks guys"
"Jack you need one! You haven't been out with anyone since like middle school!" Yeah, because I dumped my girlfriend in middle school because I realised I was gay and all the hot guys I know are taken or straight. Eventually I gave in and let Tay and Jenna play matchmaker. I'm going to regret this later...

If looks could kill, Alex and Hayley would've dropped dead by now. They were sat together on a bench, sharing chips and giggling. Jealousy really is a bitch. Alex hasn't spoken to me once, and we're supposed to be best friends? If I didn't have a burning crush on him, I wouldn't care. I would just sit with Frank and Gerard or something, since they were less touchy-feely than the other two couples.
"Aww, is Jack jealous of Haylex?" Tay's teasing voice surprised me, and caused me to spill my milkshake. It was no surprise to find her and her blonde partner in crime sitting either side of me. It's starting to get annoying now.
"Go away!" I groaned in frustration. She continued talking but I ignored her.
"Jack, just co-operate, please!" She begged.
"Ugh fine" I have to stop being such a pushover before it ruins my life. So far it's not really put me in a good place; 9th wheeling with my friends and two of them forcing me to get a girlfriend.
