My Ex-Best Friend Is My Boss

Chapter 2

Beep. Beep. Beep…. I groaned and waved my hand around trying to find the off button for my alarm. This morning came too fast. Not getting much sleep is getting to me. I slowly got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. I do my business and jump in the shower. I let the hot water wake me up and slowly I start feeling more rejuvenated. I wash my hair and body and shave all the necessary places. I look at the clock and saw that I am running a little late, so I quickly wrapped a towel around my body. I open the door to the bathroom and I see Zane sitting on my bed. He always comes over every morning and waits till I am done getting ready and takes me to school. He is the only one that has a vehicle. He has a jet-black Camaro. When he is driving it, it makes him look even sexier.

“Hey Zane. Just give me a sec and I'll be done. Just need to pick out some clothes.” I tell him.

He is busy looking at his phone. Probably texting different girls to see who he is going to see next. I quickly pick out jeans and a nice top. It shows off my cleavage more than I would like, but maybe he might notice me more if I show a little more. I ran into the bathroom and closed the door. I put my clothes on and quickly brushed through my hair. I look at the clock and notice that we have to leave now if we do not want to be late for school. I opened the door and went to my room to grab my bag. I tell Zane, “Alright, I am ready. “

He gets up and stretches. God, he looks good today. He has got a black band t-shirt on and the best-looking jeans on. Makes his butt look scrumptious. He says, “Finally, you took forever. I will never understand what takes you so long to get ready. You do not even wear makeup.”

I punched him in the arm and said, “Hey! It did not take me that long.”

He chuckles and leaves the room. I followed him. I go to the kitchen and grab an apple for breakfast off of the kitchen island. My parents are always working, so the house besides my room is not really lived in. We headed out the door and got in his car. We make light conversation on the way to school. I was in the middle of telling him about this book I had been reading when we pulled into the school. I got out of the car and saw the school slut Whitney headed our way. I told Zane that I would see him later. I walk off but before I go into the school building, I look towards where Zane is and he is leaned up against his car with his arms wrapped around Whitney and they are making out.

I wish that was me. I turned around and headed inside. I go to my class and find my seat. Luckily, my seat is next to my other best friend, Tiffany. “Hey Tiff! Did you watch that show I told you about last night? A new episode came out last night.”

“Nah. Didn’t get a chance to. I will watch it this weekend though. I got busy with Ryan last night. He is a good kisser and made me feel like I was in the clouds.” She said.

“TMI. I did not need to know that,” I said.

“One of these days, Jenny, you will stop being a prude and discover that s*x is amazing.” She chuckles.

She knows I am saving myself for when I am in love. I am waiting for the right person. I shrugged at her and focused all my attention on the teacher. I go about the rest of my day like normal, then when the last bell rings, I grab my bag and head towards Zane’s car. But when I got to where the car was parked this morning, it was gone. It is just an empty parking spot. I got my phone out to call Zane. It goes straight to voicemail. I decide to wait. But as more and more of the other students come out and head off to their destinations, I realize that Zane may have forgotten me or is off with some girl. I am sad at the thought of that but then that quickly turns to anger. He knows he is supposed to drive me home from school.

I started stomping away from the school in the direction of my house. It’s going to take me a while since my house is ten miles from the school. I put my headphones on and turned up my music. About ten minutes later, I heard a honk from behind me. I turned around and saw that Zane had finally found me. I scoffed at him and scoffed right around and continued walking. Next thing I know, he is driving slowly right beside me with the passenger window down. He starts yelling, “Jenny I am sorry. I got caught up with Whitney and I lost track of time.”

I stopped and looked at him. He stops his car and I open the door to get in. Once I am seated, I say “The only reason I am here is because I do not want to walk all the way home.”

I turned my head to the window and refused to look at him. I am so mad at him. I am his best friend and he just forgets me like that for a girl. He pulls into his driveway and I quickly get out of the car. I start racing to my house and I hear Zane yelling for me to stop. I do not listen to him and run to my house. I quickly unlocked the door. I slammed the door shut. I looked around and there was no sign of my parents. They tend to travel for work a lot. It gets lonely being here all the time by myself but at least they do not have to worry about money.

I go to my room and sit on my bed. I guess I need to start on my homework so that way I can sulk and relax the rest of the night watching Vampire diaries. I was almost done when I heard my front door open. My parents are not due to return till next week. So, I grab a baseball bat from my closet and slowly make my way towards the living room. I came around the corner, ready to swing when Zane popped up. I screech and bring my hand to my chest trying to get it to calm down. I looked at him annoyed and said, “God, you scared me. I thought you were an intruder.”

He laughs and says, “Look, I am really sorry about earlier. It won’t happen again.”

He puts on the puppy dog eyes and I try to stand my ground but it’s only a matter of a few seconds and I give in. I smile and say, “Okay, I forgive you! Just don’t do that again. You’re my best friend and just if you’re not going to be able to take me home, then just text me.”

He gives me a hug and says, “Now that I am forgiven, are you going to that party this weekend at Trevor’s house?”

“Well, I guess I will. Only if you are picking me up and taking me. I do not like to go to parties without you,” I said.

“Yeah, I’ll take you. I will pick you up around 8. Now let’s order some pizza.”

The rest of the night we spent eating pizza and me forcing him to watch vampire diaries. He may act like he doesn’t like it, but secretly, I am pretty sure he loves it. Around ten, Zane went home and I got ready for bed. Knowing another night of restless sleep is ahead of me. Well, at least I have this weekend's party to look forward to. I close my eyes and slowly fall asleep with dreams full of Zane and his hot body.
