It was one kiss!

--Chapter 5--

~After school~

        “Okay, so you don’t need me as backup?” Em asked, seeming almost… worried. What could go wrong? A lot could. 

        On Saturday Julia, somehow, got my number, and told me to meet her and Molly Jussasten. Molly is the most popular girl at school. Queen bee. Julia is her… Best friend, I guess. When she called me, Ash, Em, and Dallas heard. Dallas being my protective older brother told me I should ‘have Emma come for backup’.  

        “Yes, I’ll be fine.” Emma's eyes flickered to Dallas for a heartbeat. Slowly she nodded her head.

        I was currently, standing by my locker, with Emma one one side and Dallas in front of me. Leaving one exit. Dallas obviously didn’t want me to go. Molly is Will’s ex, and Julia was the reason we broke up. Emma said ‘You may be able to trust Molly Jussasten. But Julia. Don’t you dare give her the satisfaction of being her friend!’

        “I’m going bye!” I started to walk away, but Dallas stopped me.

        “I’m waiting in the car for you. Got it?”

        I rolled my eyes, and was so close to snapping at hum. Did he not know I protect protect myself. I’m 17! He doesn’t need to be my bodyguard! He didn’t protect me from Alex, or Will, so he now thinks that I’m helpless. “Okay. Do whatever you what.”

        He looked over me, and let me walk away. Julia said to meet her and Molly on the bleachers. Not that I cared, I did, though, want to why she wants to meet me at all. I made it to the bleaches and saw they were already there sitting near the top.

        “Oh my god! Jean! You actually came,” Molly said. Julia turned to face me. She looked guilty. I can see why. I mean Will, and I broke up, because of the kiss, but it was so much more than that.

        “Yeah. Hey.” I said pretty quietly, for some odd reason I got shy, again. I can be shy, not all the time, just when I nerves. 

        “Jean, I am so sorry.” Julia even sounded sorry.

        “Like I said it's not your fault,” My confidence came back, finally.

        “Alright why were here.” Molly got to the point, “Because Will has hurt us all.” -She turned to me- “You don’t know this, but Julia dated Will, while we were dating. That's how we became friends. At the time, he said we broke up.”

        “And me being me, I totally believe him. He said that they were taking a ‘break’ and he's always liked me. God I’m an i***t!” Julia blurted out.

        Molly rolled her eyes, “We’ve been through this Jules! Anyway, we want to get revenge on him. How?” -She smirked- “Let's tell everyone the truth. And get him kicked off the football team.”

        How the hell would this work? Everyone already believes him! But there is the possibility of it working. And if it does...Well f**k it.

        “Let's do it.”

        Julia looked shocked I agreed. “Sweet.” She said after a while.

        “Alright,” Molly started, “Here's the plan”...

~

        We got the plan figured out, and decided to go to a cafe and get drinks. 

        “So, crushes ladies!” Molly says.

        “Okay fine. Swear you two won’t tell,” Julia makes us swear, then very quietly like someone's listening says “Alex Farset.”

        My heart stops. Alex. Alex why him. Yeah he may be hot. But why! He won’t like her would he? I kissed him! Oh good lord if she finds out I kissed him, twice! She’ll freak. But why him! Why can’t she like someone else. Like Jacob, or Grayson, or Asher, or Gunnar, or even my freaking brother! Why Alex. My stomach twists. And I know something's off. Whatever. It's just Alex. But it's not…

        “Alright Jean you?” Molly pulls me out of my thoughts.

        “Um,”-A pause- “Really nobody.”

        “Hmm” Julia says

        “I like,” Molly starts then gets red. Like firetruck red. “Dallas.”

        I freeze then smile and start clapping my hands “Yes! You two would be so CUTE!” I yell.

        “Shush!” Molly goes even more red. We start talking about random stuff. But my mind keeps going back to Julia liking Alex. We talked for about another 30 minutes before I left.

        Molly, and Dallas would be super cute together, she could be my step-sister! But Julia and Alex, they wouldn’t work. Alex is to… Alex. She's too girly. They’d never work. I mean Alex is not ever going to be with her, have you meet him. Alex need somebody he likes.

~Friday~

        ITS FRIDAY!

        Fun fact) I absolutely LOVE Fridays and get really hyper when its Friday!!!!

        So this week has been really slow. Nothings happened, expect Grayson keeps flirting, and being around me whenever he can. Its annoying. Alex is mad all the time, nothing new. I guess. Molly, Julia, and I have decided to keep our friendship a secret. The only people who know are Emma, Ashley, and Dallas. Julia still has a crush on Alex. WHY!?

        Okay, so today's going to be boring, till the end of the day because it's FRIDAY! Yessss. For today, as always, I get ready with light makeup and my normal outfit. I don’t really dress up on Fridays, just get hyper. 

        “Jean! You done!?” Dallas yells through my door. 

        “Yeah.” I say opening the door to him standing there, arms crossed.

        “Took you long enough,” He mutters under his breath.

        “What was that? Ohh that I’m the best sibling!” I say sarcastically., “I know. I know. Everybody just loves me” I wipe fake tears from my eyes.

        Dallas rolls his eyes and walks away, but not before I saw the small smile on his lips. He loves me. I grab an apple, perusal. Nothing new. I walk out of the house, and Dallas is already in the car.

        “Do we have pick up Asher?” He was supposed to get his car back yesterday. 

        “Yep” He pops the ‘p’. 

        “WHY!!!!?” I blurt out. Crossing my arms and huffing.

        Dallas laughs at me and I stick my tongue out. “I’m kidding!” He laughs again see my relieved face.

        “Oh shut it!” I yell. Again. The car ride was pretty quiet. I didn’t care. Better that Asher.

        We get to school, the rumors still go on. But they have got better, due to the fact that Grayson has become the new school player. Typical. For some reason he keeps talking to me, probably trying to play me. Great! I see Emma's leaning against my locker. Either her or Ash, will do this on a normal day basics.

        “Hey J!” Emma and I are really alike. As in we both love Fridays, like many people. But she's also hyper, she also hyper Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and so on. That's just Emma.

        “Hey Em!” I shout back.

        “Okay, so”-She draw out- “There's this party tonight,” Nope. Not going. Look what happened at the last party! “I know what your thinking. And just please! Ash won’t go. Jacobs too busy, so he says. Your the last person I have! Please Jean please.” 

        “Someones being dramatic.”

        “JEAN!!!!” She draws out. Again

        “Nope not going,” I say sighing at her sad face, “Asks Dallas.”

        She made a face of disgust and I burst out laughing. I totally get why she's disgusted. Its Dallas.

        “I’m offended.” A new voice said. I turn and see Dallas faking being hurt. I laugh harder. Emma joins in. We’re probably getting a lot of weird looks, but who cares!

        “Hey gorgeous.” A new voices said, as arms wrap around my waist. I turn and see Grayson smiling down at me. 

        I  removed his arms from me, which was surprisingly easy. Consorting how strong he looked. “What do you want,” I asked sighing.

        “You.” He reply's with a smirk and then looks at Emma, and Dallas. Looking both up and down. Judging. Hes an Ass. 

“I have to go. See you in Hell!” I shout running down the hall. Even as I ran I could hear Emma, and Dallas laughing. Why did I say that? Really because I don't want to see him again. He should take a hint. But it was funny hear Emma, and Dallas laugh. Mainly because he is the devil in disguise . I have to tell Emma that shell freak!

        Suddenly I collided with a strong chest. I look up and see Alex looking down at me with shocked eyes. His hands were on my waist, keeping me from falling again. My hands were laying on his chest lazy. His strong hold not losing, as many, people stared at us. “Um. Sorry,” I muttered not looking away from his eyes. 

        He let go of my waist, and back away. My hands fall and end up lay helplessly at my side. He ran a hand through his hair and said “Your fine,” Then walked away.

        What just happened?
