TRAPPED✅

NINETEEN

Edited

After my last outing with Jordan, I didn't want to go out with him again. It was too intimate. I had a mate; I couldn't let my crazy feelings affect my relationship with Don.

I dressed up for school. It was weird that Don was not there. I would admit, I was used to being with him. I really missed him. A note was lying on the table where I left my bag. I smiled as I picked it up.

Hey beautiful,

Good morning. Just want you to take care of yourself. I miss you already.

Love, Don

I felt heat creep to my cheek; I was really blushing. I went downstairs and already met my breakfast on the table, probably prepared by one of the maids. I ate the pancakes and syrup with orange juice faster than normal and made my way to school.

Entering the hallway full of students, I made my way to my locker and met my friends, except Jordan, of course.

"Hey guys." I hiked my bag up higher.

"Sup."

"Yo."

"Hey girl!"

"Morning."

Those were all their replies, each of them grinning. I gave them confused looks and then opened my locker.

"What's up with you guys?" I asked them.

"Well....." Willow dragged it.

"We were wondering if you wanted to do something fun together, with us."

"Like we used to." That was Sheldon.

I picked my books, closed my locker shut, and faced all of them properly, as they gave me hopeful eyes. I really missed my friends; it wouldn't hurt to do something thigh fun with them

"Just like old times."

I smiled.

"Sure, I would love to." I nodded.

"Great!" Keiran said as he fist bumped the air.

"At your place by six?" That was Dash.

"Sure." An idea popped into my head. "Bring extra clothes," I said.

"Why? What's wrong?" That was Keiran. He was like the stupid one among us, you had to explain things to him a hundred times......but educationally, he was smart.

"You'll see." I smirked.

"Ooh...I love where this is going," Dash said as he rubbed his palms together like he was planning something evil with a smirk.

"I'll wipe that smirk off your face now, idiot!" Willow complained to her mate as she flicked his forehead.

"Ow!" He rubbed his forehead with a pained look.

"But I look sexy with it," he said in a whiny voice.

"No..more like a constipated kitten." She rolled her eyes while the rest of us laughed at the expression on Dash's face.

"I'll show you what a constipated kitten does." He grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder as she started hitting him.

"Let me down, fucker!"

"Not yet," he replied.

Those two were weird.

""Are you guys not going to help?" she asked when she saw us chuckling

"Nah....he can't kill you," Sheldon said as Dash carried Willow out of our view with her screaming on top of her lungs.

"I love my friends," I said sarcastically.

"We hate you to," Keiran replied as the bell rang, and he pecked Sheldon on the lips

"I'll see you after class." She nodded.

He waved at me and left for his class.

"Let's go," Sheldon said as she dragged me to hell .... sorry I meant calculus class; well, it's hell to me.

For the rest of the day, I avoided Jordan, and I guess he noticed because he stayed away from me... well, I thought until now.

"Hey, Nala!"

I heard his voice as I was about to close my locker shut, and I was the only one in the hallway. It turned out Don's driver was late. And besides, what is Jordan still doing in school? I turned around.

"Yes?"

"You're avoiding me," he stated. It was not a question.

I sighed and avoided eye contact.

"Why?" he asked.

I shook my head and swallowed.

"You need to stop this." I finally looked at him.

"Stop what?" He frowned as his brows rose together.

"Stop this." I pointed between us

"Stop everything," I said.

"If you mean winning you back...I'm not backing off," he said sternly.

"Just got back to her." I didn't need to say who 'Her' was because we both knew who it was.

"I was stupid."

"You are stupid." I told him.

He moved closer to me and I took a step backwards

And another

And another.

Until I hit my back on my locker. He locked me between his two arms.

"Jordan." It came out more like a whisper.

I swallowed and looked at him from my eyelashes.

"Please....stop."

"You can't tell me you don't feel this." He put my palm on his chest, exactly where his heart was.

"It's still beating because of you," he said with a pained look.

I shook my head.

"I think I love him already," I said, looking down. I removed my palm from his chest and chewed on my nails..

He moved away from me with guilt written on his face. He ran his hands through his hair and then hit the locker above me, causing a dent on it.

Poor locker.

Shut up!

"Jordan..." I moved closer to him.

"No?"

He ran his hand through hisbhair frustratingly.

"Fuck!!"

He swore...

"You have to listen to me," I said slowly.

"I'm not sure yet. I'm confused, okay? About all of this."

I knew what I wanted and it was Don.

It was always Don.

He moved closer to me and held my face between his two hands.

"I'll try everything.....I'll do anything to win you back," he said with determination.

"Ple...."

He cut me off by placing his lips on mine.

I tried pulling away, but he wouldn't budge. I hit his chest repeatedly but it didn't work...

He pulled away; we were both breathing heavily, and I slapped him without thinking.....he clenched his jaw. I moved away from him.

He tried moving closer.

"Don't you dare," I said through clenched teeth. I hiked my bag up higher, and I walked away, leaving him alone in the hallway.
