My Sunday dragged on with thoughts on how my Saturday jog ended up. I still couldn't believe how he reacted. Could he be that mad? I wasn't excited to go back to school.

It was around 10pm and before I went to bed I decided to check my Instagram. I noticed I lost a follower so I check. Jack Gilinsky has unfollowed.

Okay not a big deal but was it a big deal to him?

Monday morning my anxiety was more alive than ever. As I was walking to school I saw Jack. Alone. Not with his precious gifriend but alone. Seemed odd because I've never seen that boy alone. I walked into homeroom and Jack was there before I was. He wasn't talking to his friends. He had his headphones in and the world out. My friends looked at me with questionable stares. As I sat down Sussy whispered

"Do you know why he's all sad?"

I shrugg my shoulders and me and my friends are both shocked when Jack responds with,
"I'm not sad. I'm hungover. And why would Red know? All she knows is that I'm a bad person and she can't be around that. Should I change groups? Maybe classes? Just for you, Red." He looks away annoyed and guilt floods my body. How could I have ever spoken so rudly to him. I didn't mean it. I didn't want to fall for him. I couldn't manage it.

The bell rings and Jack rushes out. I ditch my friends and try and catch up. I yell his name and as he turns I decide to say,
"You're not a bad person. Its just everything I heard! I didn't mean to be so rude. I got annoyed with you calling me Red and I-I just-" I couldn't tell him I wanted to avoid falling for him. It would boost his ego!

"You just what? Save it okay. You're a good girl and I'm too bad for you. I get it Red. You're afraid of falling for me. Like every girl does. So I'll stay away" He winks and walks away.

How could he say that? In such confidence. It made me feel a certain way, the way he said it. When lunch arrived I saw Sammy coming my way, without Jack. Thank God. I would not be able to face him.

"Roxanne. I was going to ask you for a favor?"

"Yeah shot."
"I kinda need help on the English essay and you're so good at writing, well I've heard you're good." He blushes.

How could he know I'm good?

"I can help you. Don't worry!" I said smiling.

"Oh good! I'll see you after school. I got my car so we can go right after to my place. see ya" he rushes off without letting me speak.

Wait no. I could not go to his house. What have I gotten myself into.
Gonna stay and study with Sussy today. Don't wait up.

Okay.

"Roxanne. Hurry get in", sammy yelled through the window of his car. We got to his house. It was smaller than I expected. I helped him write and type his essay. And by help I mean, I wrote the whole thing.

"I owe you okay. Anything" he said teasingly.

"Its fine. Just give me 20 bucks and I'm out" I say jokingly pushing him off the desk chair.

We hear the door bell ring.

"My parents aren't suppose to be home" he says confused.

Seconds later I hear Sammy say "Gilinsky! I forgot you were coming."

Omg should I run out the window? No. Stay calm and just say hi.

Jack notices me and looks shocked.

"What the hell is she doing here?!" He says avoiding me.

"She helped me with my English essay bro. What's the problem? Just because she ignored you. Come on bro get over it" Sammy says.

I am just awkwardly standing there with nothing to say because of how mean Jack is being. I did nothing wrong.

Jacks face completely changes and looks at me.

"You need a ride Big Red?" Jack smirks.

What the hell. Now big red? Like fat. Omg.

"Uhhh-" I'm cut off by Sammy saying "Yeah I'm low on gas. Sorry Roxanne!" He says sarcastically. I was doomed.
