Change of Heart

chapter 33

Third Person POV:

Walking into school, Isaac didn't expect to see Zavier so soon but there he was, in front of his locker.

But it wasn't just him by his locker, Zavier was intensely making out with a girl he couldn't recognise yet but as he walked closer, he was able to identify her as Sapphire, the girl that had been chatting with that creepy Candace girl about Zavier and Bella ages ago.

Clearing his throat deliberately near them, they made no reaction to move, instead it seemed to him that they were in fact deepening the kiss.

"Excuse me." Isaac spoke loudly, causing them to separate, Sapphire sporting a faint blush on her face as she tried to hide a small smile.

Zavier frowned, as if it were Isaac's fault that they were near each other again. "What are you doing here?" He stared pointedly at Isaac, pursing his lips together.

School... What else would he be here for? Isaac wanted to say, but went for a more civil approach. "You're by my locker."

They both quickly moved to the side whilst Zavier looked Isaac up and down, uttering something about him not realising it was his locker, which Isaac knew to be a lie but didn't call him out on it.

Isaac expected them to, you know, leave this area, but they stayed next to his locker and all Isaac could hear were their voices, his own thoughts being drowned out by them.

This could've been his mind playing tricks on him, but Isaac felt like Zavier was speaking quite loudly deliberately, emphasising something about a date.

"Shh, we don't want everyone to know yet." Sapphire not very subtly glanced at Isaac, who was still ignoring them, but he did want to mention that making out in the open wasn't a good attempt at being discreet.

"It's fine. Isaac can know, can't he?" Zavier had a smug smile on his face. "Isaac, Saff and I are going out now."

Isaac glanced to the side, straining a smile, before looking back to Zavier's eyes which were scanning for a reaction from Isaac. "Okay."

Isaac didn't like the ache clawing at his heart, but tried his best to push it down, walking to History, which he realised he shared with Zavier and Sapphire.

Fortunately for him, he sat next to Jax, who was already half asleep when he came into the class.

"Jax." Isaac shook him awake gently.

"What's happening? Did Mr Pearson have a heart attack again?" Jax rubbed his eyes, getting them to focus.

Isaac looked at him weirdly, but shook his head. "No."

Isaac was going to say something but forgot completely when he heard a loud laugh come from the opposite side of the room.

He looked over to see Sapphire whispering something in Zavier's ear, who then made eye contact with Isaac, and held it. Sapphire started to kiss Zavier's jawline whilst he didn't break the eye contact between Isaac and him, at all, until Isaac couldn't hold it anymore and looked away, staring at the paper in front of him.

Mr Pearson glanced at Zavier and Sapphire for a split second, before looking away and not saying anything, but as soon as Isaac was asking Jax about what page they were on in the textbook, he seemed to remember he was a teacher.

"Jones, I don't want any unnecessary talking over me." Mr Pearson scolded, even though he hadn't even been teaching, but Isaac rolled his eyes and kept quiet.

He had always known that Mr Pearson didn't like him but he was the number one bum licker for Zavier and that had been another thing that had contributed to their rivalry when Zavier would purposefully frame Isaac to get in trouble.
