♡ Jessica Woods ♡

Hanging my bag over my shoulder, I headed towards the basketball court in no hurry as I knew I had to wait one hour for Jace.

When I reached there, I saw a crowd formed in the centre of it and some guys who were on their sports jerseys wandering here and there and right away I found Samuel and Jace standing a little far away from the crowd and talking something as usual.

I slowly walked past them, not making them to acknowledge my presence and about to sit on the bleachers but the frown on Natasha's face who was sitting on the bleachers as well, wasn't much welcoming.

Though I sighed, pretending not to care about it and sat down on the bleachers, looking at the direction where the coach was speaking with the newly joined basketball players.

I heard Natasha clearing her throat but I just decided to ignore it eventhough we both were the only ones on the bleachers.

"Jessica!" she called out and I slowly turned around and looked up at her, forcing out a smile.

"Yeah?"

"So.. you're coming with us today?" she asked, twirling the strand of her hair and I gave her a puzzled look.

"Uh, no. I'm going with Jace." I replied and she gave me a flat look.

"Well well, I take this as you forgot that I'm Jace's girlfriend and we mostly spend our time together." she said somehow proudly and I resisted the urge of rolling my eyes.

I didn't reply anything and she didn't bother about it either as she hopped off the bleachers and walked past me only God-knows-where.

I just sighed and wondered what had Jace found in her? Okay.. She has a nice body, attractive, nerd and maybe she was good in bed too but I didn't know why, I didn't like Jace being with Natasha; nor with anyother girls.

Suddenly I saw Samuel walking slowly towards my direction and I pretended not to notice it as I looked down, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear in nervous.

Why am I getting nervous? I should be mad at him, shouldn't I?

Samuel dropped his duffle bag and the school bag on the bleachers and unzipped it, rummaging through it for something.

"Hey! Did you see Natasha?" Samuel spoke and without thinking whether he was talking with me or someone else I looked up at him and he was looking at me, sucking his sports drink bottle.

I gulped audibly as he was looking super hot in the school uniform too. He was a little shorter than Jace but he was much muscular than Jace but still I found Jace more hot lately.

Maybe because Jace wasn't such an arrogant guy like Samuel.

Or because the way Samuel tried to misbehave with me changed my perception.

"She went this way just now." I replied, motioning to the direction where she'd gone and tried not to think more about the hickey as I knew it was a mistake and maybe he would've drunken too at that time.

He slowly nodded and glanced ahead, ruffling his hair and glanced back at me. "By the way, what are you doing here?"

I was a little surprised that he was trying to start a conversation with me. "Err.. I'm just waiting for Jace."

When I saw the confused expression on his face, I added. "He's driving me home today." and he nodded thoughtfully.

"If you wish, I can be your company till you reach home and you know what? I have bike." he offered and I narrowed my eyes at him in confusion instead of jumping up and down in joy.

Because I know it wasn't normal.

The normal Sam would never talk to me and would never offer me to ride me home on his favourite bike.

"But why?" I asked and he raised his eyebrow.

"Hmm?"

"I mean, you don't let any girls to get on your bike." I trailed and the corner of his mouth twisted into a wicked smirk.

"I do. The girls I wanted to be my one night stands." he told and my mouth fell open as I stood up.

"W-What do you mean?" I hissed and he took a step closer to me.

"I don't think you're this dumb." he looked straight into my eyes, shaking his head in disapproval. "Do you want me to say it out loud? That I wanna have sex with you? I wanna feel you-"

"Enough." I cut him off, cringing mentally and I knew I should get butterflies in my stomach or racing heartbeat but I didn't know why all I wanted to say was 'Gross, I don't want to have sex with a prick like you.'

"What? You don't have a crush on me anymore?" he asked in a fake offended tone and I frowned at him.

If he had asked this question in the past, I would've smiled widely and nodded rapidly, saying. 'My crush on you never dies.'

But now.. the answer was between I don't know and no. It wasn't even near to yes.

Maybe the hickey thing and not remembering my name properly have hit me hard or maybe I've found a better person to have a crush on, than him.

"But I thought you don't like me." I said, furrowing my brows and he nodded with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes I don't. But that doesn't mean I couldn't have you as my one night stand." he shrugged nonchalantly and slowly I noticed the irresistible anger bubbled inside me and the next thing I did was surprised me more than him.

I slapped across his face as hard as I could and his hand instantly touched his cheek because of my resounding slap and I noticed his jaw along with the muscles were clenching and his face flushed in rage or embarrassment as everyone stopped walking and glanced at us weirdly.

"What the f-"

"Don't you dare play with my feelings just for your stupid bucket list okay? I'm not your some kinda sex doll to do whatever you say. Maybe you're the hot jock in our school but that doesn't mean you could consider my virginty as a trash!" I seethed and he was shooting daggers at me not replying anything.

"Jesus Christ! What the hell happened now?" I heard Jace say and in no time at all he stood beside Samuel, glancing at him and me back and forth in surprise.

"It's.." Samuel cleared his throat, still glaring at me. "It's nothing. The meeting is over?"

"Sam.. are you really okay?" Jace asked in concern, rubbing the cheek of Samuel's where I slapped him but he just swatted away, scowling.

He deserved that and I didn't regret anything.

"I'm fine man. Just don't make it a big deal." he groaned but Jace didn't seem to be convinced.

"You sure? Shall I bring you an ice pack or someth-"

"Jeez.. Can you both just get the fuck outta here?" Samuel groaned and it increased my anger even more.

Attitude much Collins?

Jace sighed and patted Samuel's shoulder and when his eyes met mine, it was asking me the explanation which made me drop my gaze to the floor.

"Let's go." with that Jace walked away and I nodded and glared at Samuel one more time before turning on my heels and started to follow Jace.

"Be ready to face the consequences Jessica Woods!" I heard Samuel say behind me in an evil voice which made me stop walking. I clenched my fists but I knew he was super stronger than me so there was no point in dragging this arguement so I moved away out of there, picking up all of my stuffs.
----

As I thought, the car ride was super awkward and I didn't know whether Natasha knew about it because she was sitting on the passenger seat and turning behind now and then to glance at me.

Sitting on the backseat, I plugged my earbuds in my ears and ignored the glances Jace was sneaking at me through his rear-view mirror.

Eventhough I was wearing earbuds I could see Jace and Natasha were remaining silent in the whole ride and for some reason I didn't want to be a third wheel.

Urgggh.. why did I ask him to give me a ride home?

If I didn't, then I wouldn't get the chance to meet Samuel and the whole drama thing wouldn't have happened.

Definitely Samuel would say what happened today to Jace, Natasha and Ryan but would Jace stand by his side even though what Samuel has done was wrong?

It was obvious but still.. I wanted Jace to stand by my side and right now if Natasha wasn't here maybe I would've spilled everything to him because it was so hard to keep everything inside.

The car stopped in my driveway and I took out my earbuds before opening the door and stepped down. When I closed the door, I peeked a glance at Jace through passenger seat window and he was staring at me too, leaning a bit forward so he could get a better view but I just half smiled at him without saying anything and started to walk towards my home as Natasha frowned at me, rolling the window up.
-----

The next day morning when Louise and I drove to school, I told everything that happened yesterday which made her furious too.

"I don't know why you still have a crush on that pervert. " Louise frowned, staring ahead and I sighed.

"Neither do I."

"But if I were you I would've kicked him in his family jewels." she announced and I scoffed.

"It's equal to murder him."

"Exactly. That's why I wanted to do that." she beamed, pressing the horn loudly to emphasize.

When we reached the school, she parked the car and we both got down at the same time but she made her way towards the locker room while I headed to the library after waving at her.

As soon as I entered in, the librarian smiled at me and I smiled back before walking past her and to the reference section. My fingertips were tracing the cover of the books as I slowly observed each and every book.

Suddenly I saw someone like Georgia walking past my section so I quickly walked out of there and moved each and every section to find the brown haired girl as I really needed to talk to her.

"JESSICA! Jessica!" I heard Louise scream which almost startled everyone in the library including me. Louise instantly covered her mouth with her hands when the librarian glared at her and ran towards me, panting heavily.

"Hey! What happened?" I asked, steadying her by gripping her shoulders and she was inhaling and exhaling not responding anything.

"Th-They're f..fighting!" Louise finally managed to say and I furrowed my brows.

"Who? What are you talking about?" I hissed and she groaned.

"Aargh.. THEY are fighting. Jace and Sam are fighting." she emphasized and my eyes widened in shock but the next words she said, almost dropped my jaw to the floor.

"Plus, they are fighting for YOU!"
