The Player and the Nobody

Chapter 4: I'm Sorry Jessi!

§I'm Sorry Jessi!§

Ok so I'm going to explain what Baby I love you modified is. There are turns and the person who is "it" gets to chose someone to sit on the lap of (girl) or have on the lap (guy), they then kiss anywhere on their body to try and make the person smile, cringe, or make them stop. They have to say "baby I love you"(person kissing) while the other person(being kissed) has to reply "I love you too, but I just can't show it." okay?

~*~

"Well let's stop standing around and start!" Seth replies sitting down on the ground. We follow and sit in a circle. I'm sitting next to Seth and Derek.

"Ok so who wants to go first?" Seth locks his gaze with mine, but I soon duck my head telling him I didn't want to, "Fine wimp" Seth crawls towards me and pulls me onto his lap. He kisses my eyes and slowly begins to move down. He brushes his fingers across my cheek and pushes some stray strands of hair from my face. He kisses my ear and moves towards my neck.

"Baby I love you"

"Iloveyoutoobutijustcantshowit." I let it out in a run on sentence trying my hardest not to move away as he reaches my vulnerable spot. He stops and frowns.

"Damn." He looks around and frowns as I climb off his lap. I chuckle at his hard descision. He finally crawls over to Derek and grabs his hand.

"Derek." He locks his gaze with a goofy look on his face, "Baby I love you sooo much!" He leans over and kisses his palm and Derek bursts out laughing.

"Dude! Nice!" Derek pulls his hand away and pulls me onto his lap. I look at him with playful disgust and hear the boys chuckle. I turn my cheek getting ready for his lips to embrace my skin, but I find his fingers on my chin. He turns my head and does the unexpected.

Derek kissed me.... On. My. Lips.

I try to hold back the shivers, but I can't help it. I let them loose and Derek stops grinning at his victory.

"Ugghh!" I thought about what would happen if I tried to go to Sam and how Jessi would react, but who else can I do? I can't be the loser that goes back to the people that have already played. I decide to just kiss him on the cheek and if all else fails I can always just go for Seth. He is so easy. I crawl towards Sam and sit on his lap. I lean in to kiss him on his cheek, but before I could reach his skin his head whipped around and our lips joined. I jerked back from him wiping my lips.

"What the Hell?!" I climb off his lap and get up.

"Dude! Not cool!" Seth says as he gets up and slings his arm around my back. He rubs my shoulder as I just stand there thinking about Jessi.

She was going to KILL me!

~The Next Day~

"Hey!" Jessi says grinning as she walked up to my locker.

"Hey," I mumble dodging her questioning look. I rush off to Math, but feel an arm wrapped around my wrist. I turn around ready to shake off Jessi, but come face to face, well neck to face with Sam. (He is a little shorter than me. For some reason Jessi always falls for the short guys.)

"Umm.. I have to get to class." I say turning around.

"Just let me say something.." I don't listen I just keep walking not paying attention to where I'm going.

*thud*

"...Ouch!" I sit up rubbing my head as the lights and sounds start flooding back, "Wha-what happened?"

"You rammed into me and I didn't get to catch you this time." What? This time? Who have I- Derek.

"Oh CRAP! I'm sorry. I-I didn't umm.. I wasn't really....I was just deep in my thoughts." I clamber back up as he wraps an arm around my waist to help stabilize me, "Sorry."

"Its fine. Lets go to class. I'll walk you to your seat. Based on the clumsiness I have seen in the past day I don't trust you on stairs." I chuckle at his smirk. Even though he was totally right. I'm a klutz.

Class was a blur. A.I couldn't stop staring at Derek's tight shirt that hugged his rock hard abs. Too many times I have ran into them and B.I needed to figure out how to tell Jessi before anyone else did. I feel awful about what happened. The bell rang and I rushed to my locker to quickly grab my books, dodge Derek's questioning look and Sam's "we need to talk" look, and run to meet Jessi half way to my locker.

"Hey! Are you okay? You barely have said anything to me since after dropping me off yesterday."

"Yea sorry, but I REALLY need to talk to you."

I pull her aside out of the path of the swarming kids trying to get to class, "Okay. So yesterday I went home and saw Derek getting out of his car with Seth and Sam." She squirms and smiles when I say his name making this 10× harder, "and they teased me and stuff like normal guys do, but soon they came over with Derek's mom to introduce themselves as my new neighbour," I look at her to see her expression it was telling me to continue, "my mom and his mom talked while I went up stairs to work on my essay. The boys found me and came into my room and they got bored quick. They wanted to play a game...."

"GIRLS YOUR GOING TO BE LATE TO MY CLASS!!" Mrs.DeBrat shouted like always.

"Tell me later okay?"

"No I really-" she walks away quickly to the classroom. I walk in and sit next to Derek. He tries to talk to me, but I didn't hear anything he said, I was too busy looking at the clock counting down the minutes until I could talk to Jessi. When we only had 2 minutes left I started to gather my things. Class was dismissed by the bell and I ran to Jessi.

"So I need to finish the story..."

"Okay so basically your telling me that you had lots of fun right?" I sigh and start again.

"Okay so the game, it was baby I love you modified." Her face dulled some,"and ummm... Well I tried to kiss Sam on the cheek and he turned his head and we..." She storm off with her hands in fists. Well, she's pissed.

"Sam I'm going to murder you!!" I turn around and walk out the classroom to see Sam leaning against the locker with the one the only Karla Winslar all over him.

My arch nemesis.
