You're My Forever

Marking His Territory | 37

Monday... 

I got out of bed and went to my closet to get dressed. I put on a grey cropped t-shirt with some black ripped jeans. I put my hair half up half down, brushed my teeth, then went to school with Jack. 

Lunch... 

After going to my locker, I went to the cafeteria and found Shayna, Coltin and Jack. I walked over to them and greeted all of them with a smile before sitting beside Jack. Jeremy showed up about two minutes later, sitting beside Coltin. We all greeted him as well. 

I was about to ask him about his trip, but then he spoke up.

"So Roni, how come you decided not to go on the trip last minute?" He asked me. I did text Jeremy when I was in the car with Jack, on the way to the bakery to tell him that I wasn't going to be going on the trip. But I didn't tell him why. Jeremy and Coltin were actually the only ones who didn't know about my crush on Jack earlier. But Now, I was going to explain everything.

"Jack actually showed up right when I was about to go back inside. And, he.. told me that he has feelings for me. And I already had feelings for him so.. here we are." I told him a little bit awkwardly, but smiling at the end as I held Jack's hand. His eyes widened. "S-So you guys are.. dating?" He said, sounding very surprised as he looked back and forth at us. "Yeah." Jack said, smiling.

"Wow, Definitely didn't see that coming! But I mean, yeah, that's amazing! I'm happy for you guys." He said with a big smile. "Thanks. And yeah, neither of us saw it coming either." I said with a chuckle. 

Jackson's P.O.V... 

Just then, I remembered that time when I overheard Jeremy telling Coltin that he might have feelings for Roni again. I don't know why, but I kind of felt bad. What if he actually does like her? I definitely wouldn't give up Roni if he liked her but the least I could do was apologize and sympathize. 

I guess I had to talk to him. 

"Uh, Jeremy. Could I talk to you for a second?" I asked him a little bit awkwardly as I stood up. He looked up at me, a little bit confused. "Yeah, sure." He answered, standing up. We walked away from the rest of them and right outside of the cafeteria where it was a bit quieter. 

"So uh.. I kind of overheard you and Coltin a while ago saying that you might have feelings for Roni again... So I just wanted to say, sorry.. I guess 'cause--" He cute me off before I could finish my apology. "Woah woah, wait. Dude, since that day, I figured myself out. I don't have feelings for her, don't worry. So you don't have to apologize but I appreciate it." He told me with a smile. "Oh really? Alright, well then that works out." I said and both of us chuckled.

So after that quick talk, we went back to our friends. 

Dara's P.O.V... 

Ema and I walked into the cafeteria to buy some cookies. 

But as we were walking there, something caught my eye. I stopped walking. I noticed Jack and Roni sitting with their friends. But the way Jack and Roni were sitting together.. He had his arm around her and her head was resting on his shoulder.

I mean, it wasn't that couple-like but I just thought I'd mention it to Ema anyway. 

Ema's P.O.V... 

As Dara and I were walking, she suddenly stopped me.

"Look." She said, pointing somewhere in the cafeteria. I followed her finger and eventually found Jack and Roni. My heart skipped a beat as I saw the way they were sitting together. 

I immediately remembered their kiss that I saw when they were arguing by their houses. I mean, Jack said that kiss meant nothing but what if it actually didn't?
