Horror High School

Chapter 6

"Jasper!!"

Desi goes and hugs him. She looked at me and gave me a look that said:

'He's mine. Back off'

I fumed. 'What a bitch.'

She didn't even say hi to me. It was clear that she didn't like me.

We all sit down and the waiter takes our order. I had a tea, Desi had a lemonade and Jasper had a water.

"So, how have you been, Desi? Tell me about yourself.", Jasper asked.

"Well, I really like reading and drawing. I really believe in justice and I am studying to become a lawyer. I loveee debating."

Desi put her arm around Jasper's shoulder.

'She better stop right now.'

Desi was really friendly with Jasper. Almost too friendly. She whispered something in his ear and Jasper blushed.

'That's it.'

I couldn't resist because I was so angry that I got nauseous. I couldn't ever drink my tea.

"Hey! Watch it!!", I yelled a bit too loudly.

Everyone in the cafe looked at me.

'Oh god. Did I just say that out loud?!'

I could tell Desi was irritated.

"Wow. Whats your problem?!", she said.

"My problem is that you're disgusting! Jesus! Take a hint. He doesn't like you!"

"Whatever. At least I'm not the wierd best friend that tagged along because Jasper wanted to be nice. No one wants you here."

We argued so loud that the waiter came.

"Is there a problem?"

We ignored him.

"Ugh! Jasper! Say something!", I said.

Jasper looked at me really disappointed.

"Jasper tell her to leave!", desi ordered.

"..."

"Jasper?"

He looked at me again.

"Vera.. I think you should go."

'Ouch. That hurt.'

I felt my eyes get watery. I don't usually cry, but this time I felt broken. What did I do to deserve this?

I gave him a disappointed look, while desi smirked.

"You heard him."

I grabbed my coat and walked back to the apartment. At that moment I felt so alone. I started crying.

I arrived sore from all the walking and run to my room to go change. Andrew was in the living room watching the news.

I changed into pajamas and started crying. Andrew walks in.

"Are you ok?"

I looked at him furiously.

"What does it look like?!"

I explained everything to him and cried my eyes out. He confronted me.

"That's the way Jasper is. He's very ambitious and he just wants to solve this case.", Andrew explained. "He probably doesn't even like her."

"I know, but that really hurt..."

Andrew laughed.

"Do you like him?"

"What?! Why would you say such a thing?!"

"It doesn't take a genius or to be Sherlock Holmes to see that you like him. You're jealous. And you didn't deny it either."

"Don't tell him.."

"I won't." He smiled.
