Dangerous (BoyxBoy)

Dangerous - Chapter 4: BEAT HIS you know what

Jeremy watches in disbelief as Natalie continues to comfort Jason. At one point, Roofie takes Jeremy's hand and tries to pull him away from the scene, all while glaring at the girl he just broke up with. But, he wasn't having any of that. He wasn't the type to just turn his back to a situation, and honestly, the hatred he had for Jason at this point was beyond surreal. He pulls his hand away from Roofie's and tries to get closer to him, but Natalie goes in between them and pushes Jeremy away with one of her hands.

"Stop it! Why are you acting like this?" She yells, her cheeks tinged pink from anger.

"Why is it any of your business? " Jeremy heatedly replies.

"Because" Before she finishes her sentence, she holds on to Jason's hand and kisses his cheek.

"He's my new boyfriend."

This is enough for Jeremy to have a loss for words. And that doesn't usually happen but with the exception of Roofie. His gaze lands on Jason's who was quietly praying to himself that this would just be over. He didn't know what type of history Natalie and Jeremy might have, and he also didn't want to be in the middle of it. Still, it is pretty funny to watch him sputter out like a disciplined puppy.

Roofie pipes in and says,

"Well, this has been interesting. Jeremy-" She snaps a finger in front of his face to get him out of it.

"Come on, let's go. These losers don't deserve half of our attention." Roofie grabs his hand and pulls him towards the school, but not before sticking a middle finger up at both Jason and Natalie.

Roofie swears that a look of frustration, more like jealousy flashes over Natalie's eyes, but then she turns towards Jason and kisses him. She makes sure Jeremy doesn't look back.

------------------------------------------

They walk through half of their school's corridor before Roofie realizes that they were still holding hands. She blushes, but no one was able to tell because of the vast amount of makeup she has on her face.

Once again, from behind they hear a voice ring the hallways for them to stop. They both turn around and see that it's Coldren, holding papers in his hands.

"Hey!" He says when he reaches them, him out of breath.

Jeremy coldly asks,

"What in the hell do you want?" However, Coldren is not fazed with this at all, actually, he smirks at Jeremy's behavior.

"Look man, I just wanted you to know that Jason wasn't trying to start nothing. Whatever he did, it probably didn't mean much."

Jeremy rolls his eyes and crosses his arms. In hindsight, this would've been the best opportunity to let things go, but he just couldn't. He hated letting things go, especially letting people have the last laugh. Once, Roomie won a card's game they were playing when they were in 6th grade, and so Jeremy played against her every day until he won. It can be a gift and a curse.

"Well, you can go take that and put it up both your and Jason's asses." Jeremy quips. Roomie snorts and crosses her arms since they had let go of each other when Coldren called after them.

Coldren smiles with irresistible pearly whites before answering,

"Woah Jeremy, you're gonna have to buy me dinner first."

"You're not funny. AND let me make this clear." Jeremy stands in front of Coldren closely before continuing,

"Tell Jason to meet me after school if he isn't a p***y and finish this."

"Come on man. What's your beef with him anyway?" Roomie snorts and takes a cigarette stick out of her purse. No, cigarettes are not allowed in the school, but it still was pretty early and teachers could give a f**k about what students do before classes.

"Well, from what I've heard, Jason had hit him in his stomach, and is now currently dating his ex." She answers, dangling the stick between her lips and putting a lighter underneath it. Coldren shakes his head while crossing his arms over his chest.

"Is that it? We do that for fun on the football team, so you shouldn't dwell too much on it."

"You mean you date each other's exes for fun?" Roofie asks, puffing a good one into the air.

He smiles and answers,

"No, not that. The punching part. The whole 'Him dating my ex' is your problem."

Taking that as an insult, Jeremy scoffs,

"What do you mean by my problem?"

"Well, didn't you break up with her fair and square? You don't really have the right to be angry at him my dude. That's why they're called 'EXES'" He explains. Jeremy knew it was true, that he really didn't have a right to be angry at him for dating his ex. Honestly, he's never given a crap about who had dated his exes before or after him; if he was done with them, then he wanted nothing to do with their personal lives afterward.

But for some reason, the thought of Jason dating Natalie infuriated Jeremy to a point where he wants to beat the rainbows and sunshine out of him.

"Just tell him to meet me behind the school when the bell rings. If he isn't there, I'll find him myself." Jeremy begins to walk away with Roofie in pursuit, her frown not being noticed as they stride down the remaining part of the hallway.

They walk into the library and sit in their favorite spot behind one of the bookcases. This is a place where Jeremy can get away from all the popularity talks and fake friends. Here, he can actually be himself without having to answer to a bunch of gossips centered around his love life.

And speaking of being themselves, Roofie stares at Jeremy coldly while she sits in criss-cross position, the half-finished cigarette still hanging from her perfectly drawn lips.

Jeremy notices this and reluctantly asks,

"What now?"

"You already forgot."

"Forgot what?" he questions. He sits down as well, extending his legs in front of him and leaning against the bookcase with a sigh.

"Forgot about me and you going out to eat after school. You just blew it off to go fight some asshole." Jeremy wipes his hand over his face and grunts, remembering the promise he made earlier. He says,

"Oh yeah right. My bad. We can do that some other time." A mixture of anger and hurt flashes over Roofie's face, and for a moment, Jeremy thought she was about to cry. He's about to ask what's wrong, but she instead shoots up from her criss-cross and heatedly runs out of the library, leaving Jeremy puzzled.

"Okay, that just happened." He sighs. Jeremy has no idea why Roofie is so angry, he can just buy her free dinner like another night, right? He can't dwell too much on it, he learned his lesson a long time ago that girl's emotions are just not meant to be probed for answers.

Something else races in his head instead; Jason. In his mind, Jeremy is on top of him, punching him over and over again until the side of his mouth leaked with blood. He imagines himself cursing and yelling at him until he becomes tired and the only thing he can do is pin Jason to the ground with his hands.

Then something weird happens. Jeremy stares into Jason's brown innocent eyes until he becomes mesmerized, his glossy hair distracting him from his initial purpose. Then an alone thought makes itself known. For a guy, Jason is actually really handsome in a cute sort of way.

"What the... oh no no no." Jeremy interjects, shaking his head as if he was trying to get water out of his ears.
