You're My Forever

'Official' | 70

Monday... 

I sighed as I got out of bed then went to my closet to get dressed.

I put on a fitted yellow cropped t-shirt with some blue ripped jeans. I put my hair half up half down, brushed my teeth, then went to school. 

Once I got there, I headed up to my first period class which I had with Jack. I walked into the room and saw he was already there, sitting at his regular seat. I took a tiny deep breath before walking up to the table.

Both of us greeted each other quietly as I sat beside him. And once everybody else got to class, the teacher spoke up.

"Alright, so today, I'll be introducing your next assignment to you guys. Here's the assignment sheet." Our teacher told us as she began handing out an assignment sheet to everyone. After doing so, she spoke up again. "For this assignment it's optional whether you want to do it with a partner or not. BUT, if you do choose to have a partner, to make things easier for everyone, the only partner you can have is the person you sit beside." The teacher explained to us. 

Great.. So either Jack or nobody. And this was chemistry class too, so the assignments were very hard and would be much easier with a partner. Now I was very stumped.. either of my options weren't too pleasant.

I quickly scanned over the assignment sheet again. Yup.. this definitely seemed very difficult.

"Roni," I heard as I continued to look over the assignment sheet. That was Jack. My eyes were quick to snap up to his. "do you wanna be partners?" His voice was quiet and he had only a hint of a smile.

Well, that just made this even harder as before he said that, I was leaning more towards doing this by myself...

But, like I said before, I didn't feel as much anger towards him as I did before because of the whole Lucas thing.

"Uh.. Are you sure you w-want that?" I asked him quietly, clearly sounding a bit nervous. "Come on.. both of us know it's not me who's unsure.." His voice continued to stay quiet as he subtly sighed. He was right about that.. "Well.. I guess we could work together.. Only 'cause this looks hard." I said the second part quickly, making Jack's smile grow a bit. 

"Cool. Let's go." He said, still with a smile as he stood up. I got up as well and we went to the lab bench where a bunch of stations were set up were everyone. We got to work right away. Jack did the experiments while I wrote everything down. But there was A LOT of work for this assignment. We didn't even get a third of it done today.

And this period went decent, I guess.. Jack and I talked to each other, but it was only about the assignment. I didn't care to talk to him about anything otherwise.

Lunch... 

Once the lunch bell rang, I left my class and went to my locker to switch out my binders. 

As I was there, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and was faced with Ema. Great...

"Hey." Ema said, smiling big. "Hey.." I said much quieter with a small smile. "Good news." She said, still smiling big. "What is it?" I asked her, even though I already had a pretty good idea of what this 'good news' was. 

"Jack and I are official!" She told me, super excited. That's what I expected her to say but it still stung a lot to hear. "Th-That's great, Ema. I-I'm happy for you guys.." I tried as best as I could to say it happily but it was hard as my eyes began glazing with tears. "Thanks!" She said, pulling me into a tight hug. Right when she hugged me, my smile disappeared as I knew she couldn't see me anymore. My eyes began filling more and more with tears.

"And," Ema spoke up again, pulling back from the hug. I quickly put a smile back on my face and attempted to subtly blink away my tears. "thanks for being ok with this, Roni.. I know it must be pretty hard for you. But because of you, Jack and I can finally be happy together again, just like in grade nine." She told me, with a softer smile now. I took a small deep breath. "You're welcome. A-And I'm fine, trust me." I tried to sound as truthful as possible. "I'm glad to hear!" Her smile grew again.

"Anyway, I gotta go. Jack's waiting." She told me. "See you." I smiled a little bit. She gave me a quick wave before walking away. 

I took another deep breath as I rested my forehead against my locker. My eyes closed, causing a tear to fall down. I couldn't stop myself from beginning to cry quietly and softly. 

He really moved on from me that quickly... Why did he have to say he was in love with me in the first place? Was it just because he wanted to hear me say it back?

Well, at least this meant that he'd stop trying to win be back... But did I really want him to stop?

Ema's P.O.V... 

I felt so fucking evil and I loved it! Roni deserved every bit of this. 

I know, my plan could easily be ruined if Jack somehow reveals to Roni that him and I aren't actually dating but honestly, I knew I could make him fall for me fast enough for that not to happen.

Veronica's P.O.V... 

After I calmed down and wiped away all my tears, I left the locker area.

As I was walking into the cafeteria, I was quick to notice Jack's guy friends all at one table. But... Jack was sitting there too.. 

Why was he with them? Ema said that Jack was waiting for her. So why were they not together right now? That was kind of weird.. But I continued to walk anyway. 

But barely even five seconds later, I noticed Ema sitting at a table all the way on the other side of the cafeteria. She was with Dara, Alena and two other girls. What the hell? Did Ema lie to me about Jack waiting for her? What was the point of lying to me about something small like that?

But whatever. I didn't think about it very much before just dropping it. 

I continued to walk until I got to the table where Shayna, Coltin and Jeremy were. I greeted them all with a smile as I sat beside Jeremy.
