mine first

It's been about a week since I went over to Brandon's place for dinner. Ever since then I've been hanging out with him and Jennie. We usually go to their place. I always tell him that my dad doesn't like having people over. He understands, but I feel bad we always go there.

I haven't talked to Jennie yet about everything she is going through. I didn't want to talk to her on the first day that we met. I didn't want to invade her privacy.

My plan is to do that today. I'm going to their place again right after school. I'll most likely get Brandon started on some homework and then I'll talk to Jennie. I don't think Brandon should be there when I talk to her.

"Nataile!" I quickly grab my bag and I run down the stairs.

"Morning," I say.

"Did you take trash out last night?" He asks. "It better have gotten done."

"It did," I say.

"Good," he says. "You better have dinner made tonight. I wrote what I want down on the chalkboard."

"I won't be home tonight," I say.

"What do you mean?"

"I have to tutor again," I say. "I'm not going to be here til late."

He rolls his eyes, "Don't you think you tutor this boy a little too much?"

"No," I say. "It's good for me and for him. I'm getting extra credit for this."

"I'm glad," he says. "You better have perfect grades again."

"I always do."

"Good," he says. "Now get outta here and have a good day."

"Okay," I say kinda confused. He never talks to me yet alone tell me to have a good day. That's honestly really weird for him to say that.

I walk up to my locker to see Brandon standing there with Chloe next to him. Of course she is here talking to him. She hasn't tried anything with him yet, but seeing her around him makes me so pissed. I guess you can say I'm a very jealous type of person.

"Hey, Nat," Brandon says.

"Hi," I say opening my locker making sure not to make eye contact with either of them. Chloe knows I like him, but she would go after him anyways. That's what she is doing right now. I never thought she would do this type of bullshit to me.

"How are you?" He asks.

I put some of my books in my locker and then I start to get my first period shit out, "I'm fine. How are the two of you?"

"Good," Chloe says getting a bit too excited, "I was just going to ask Brandon if he wanted to get dinner tonight."

I turn and I look at him, "I thought we had plans tonight?"

"We do," he says to me. He then turns back to Chloe, "I would have loved to, but I have plans tonight with Nat."

"Maybe another night," she says looking right at me. "I would love to get to know you."

I turn back around and I grab my last book. I don't even pay attention to what Brandon says back to her. I don't want to know.

Very quickly, I slam my locker door super hard and it makes a huge bang. I storm off to first period to hear Brandon yelling after me.

I know it's not his fault or anything, but it still hurts. He doesn't know how I feel towards him, but Chloe does know. She knows that I'm falling for this boy super hard, but that doesn't stop her from trying to suck his dick or fuck him.
