Chapter 3 : Someone's Jealous

The Bell rings signaling that lunch is over and if you aren't in class in 1 minute, your ass is done. That's why I'm always packed and ready to go so I won't be late. Detention is not where I want to end up in.

Just the thought of it makes me shiver.

I whine realizing my next class is gym. That's my weakest subject in school besides my social life.

"Why the sad pout beautiful?" Brett asked as I lifted my head up from the library table, grabbing my things quickly.

I scoff when he called me beautiful.

"I have gym next," Cue the sigh.

"Cool I do too," He smiled as I groaned unhappily.

"What's so bad about that? I love gym," He shrugged while grabbing his backpack and slinging it over his shoulder.

"I'm weak. Get the picture?" I roll my eyes and get, leaving the library with Brett following behind.

"You're not weak."

"We've only been talking for 20 minutes. you still don't know me, McCall." I slightly roll my eyes.

Taking out my phone, I text Scarlett and Harley telling them that I'm fine and I just went to the library.

The reason Scarlet didn't come check on me because she knows when I'm upset, I just want to be alone for a while. But Brett didn't get the picture as you can tell.

"That's why I want to know you better Scott and I'm pretty sure you're not that weak," He stretched out the word ' That '.

"You'd be surprised," I scoffed.

We continue to walk down the half-empty hallway when I notice Damon heading in our direction.

My heart immediately starts racing.

As much as he hurt me. I can never stay mad at him and I hate that.

He walks up to me, his vanilla scent instantly washes over my nose.

"Look Hermione I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to come out like that," He got straight to the point. I can tell he's trying to hide how annoyed he clearly is.

It Kinda hurts.

"It's whatever Damon. Tell scar you did it," I softly said while tucking a string of my hair behind my ear and stared into his beautiful eyes.

"What?" He raises an eyebrow.

"I know she sent you to come apologize. You don't Actually mean it though," I give a lazy tightlipped smile. looking at him one last time, I push past him getting one last whiff of his vanilla scent.

Before I could walk away further he grabs my wrist and turns me back around.

"I'm sorry muffin.." He whispered and I find myself becoming soft for him.

Damnit! No, Hermione Don't fall for it!

I melt at his nickname for me. He always calls me muffin but only when no ones around.

I don't get why though.

"Ok you can let me go now," I stared at the ground nervously.

"Forgive me," He whispered in my ear softy causing me to blink slowly in a daze.

I close my eyes and shake my head.

Don't give in!

"Dude she said let her go," Saved by the Brett! Thank god. He pulls me from Damon's grasp.

"Watch who your touching," Damon growled while balling his fist.

I swear he's always looking for a way to fight someone.

"Let's just go.." I grab brett's arm and we walk away. I could feel Damon's stare burning through my back.

* * * * * *

"He was totally flirting with you!" Scarlet squeals causing some of the girls in the locker room to stare.

"He wasn't and inside voice scar, please."

"Oh come on. I can tell he's into you," She wiggles her eyebrows and I roll my eyes.

"Don't think I didn't catch the Ariana reference," I fold my arms.

She smirks. "He's so into you, into you," She sang and made kissy faces.

My lips form into a small smile.

"Oh please, you wish," Scarlet and I turn around. Of course, it had to be Joslin with her arms folded and an irksome face on. She stood five feet away from where we are standing.

She wore shorts that stop at the middle of her thighs, a white skinny strapped shirt that reveals her chest and stomach and heart-shaped tattoo which is placed on her side.

Paring with knee-high socks. her blonde hair is in a perfect high ponytail.

"What?" I mumbled.

"You're not talking about Brett McCall. the new kid Right?" She folds her arms and laughs humorless.

"Why is that any of your business? Joslin," Scarlet spoke annoyed by her. The feelings mutual.

"I mean Brett's the talk of the school. He's hot, has the body of a model, Eyes to die for. And you're you, Herman Scott. Plain old ugly you," She looked me up and down in disgust.

Some of the girls snicker and I stare at the ground.

"See the difference?"

She's right.

"Her name is Hermione and Watch it! She's far from ugly and you call yourself 'hot' which isn't sure true. I'm 100% sure that's just your huge ego telling you that. Why does Brett want to get to know Hermione instead of .of.you?" Scarlet smirks as the girls ' ouu'

"Any guy that talks to her only wants to get to you. I mean come on face it Herman your Scarlett's duff," The girl's bursts out laughing and I feel tears sting my eyes.

I'm trying my hardest not to cry in front of everyone.

Ugh, I'm so weak!

"Girls! Stop lolly-gagging and get Out here!" Coach Melvin yelled and blew his famous whistle making all the girls leave quickly.

"Bye Scar Scar!" Joslin smirked and turned around but stopped in her tracks, turning back around.

What now?

"Tell Damon I said meet me at our old hook up spot," She smirked skipping out of the locker room and into the gym.

Scarlet eye twitches and she growls, balling her fist.

I sniff feeling the tears threatening to come out.

Scarlet looks at me and her features soften.

"Minnie don't listen to her. You're beautiful and you are definitely not duff. You're so much better than her," She rubs my arm soothingly.

I put a string of my hair behind my ear and shake my head. I didn't say anything because if I did all the tears would fall.

"Jones! Scott! get out here!" Coach yelled.

"You finish getting dressed. I gotta go, I'll tell coach you need a minute," She hugs me tight and kisses my forehead. I smile at her motherly vibe.

"Thanks, carebear," I give her a lazy and small smile.

"Anytime and don't forget. You're my gem," She grinned at me and walked out.

Once I'm alone I break down, letting all the tears fall.

Yeah I know I'm weak. I want to stand up for myself, I do.

Every time Joslin and her friends come around I tell my self  'I can do this, just stand up to her. Be the bigger person.' then as soon as she insults me. I chicken out.

Pathetic I know.

I wipe my face realizing how stupid I must look.

Next, I dig into my locker for my gym shorts when I couldn't find them I look around the locker room hoping they'll turn up.

Still nothing, Til I notice Joslin's locker slightly open.

I wouldn't be surprised if she's the one who took them.

I open her locker and there they are. My gym shorts.

I grab them and noticed red paint on them with the words 'ugly' plastered on them.

I bite back my tears and throw them into my backpack.

Great those were my only shorts. I can't make another excuse this time. I have to go out there or couch will fail me and I've never gotten a grade below a C. Never.

So I dig into Scarlet's locker finding another pair of shorts in there.

You can always count on scarlet to have extra.

I pull the shorts out and stare at them. There's a problem.

THEIR BOOTY SHORTS!

Seriously scar! I can't wear these in public! Not At school in front of boys! And two of those boys happen to be Damon and Brett.

Great. not.

I groan in frustration slipping them on along with my gym shirt. I put my hair into a ponytail when my phone dings.

Deciding if I should open the message or not knowing if I do I'll regret it. But I don't listen to myself.

Unknown: You're a worthless whore.

I sigh deeply and put my phone into my backpack. I shut my locker and silently cry.

This mystery person has been texting me mean comments for months. I try blocking them but it never works. They still find a way to text me, sometimes there will be different people texting me mean things but this person won't stop. I don't know who it could be.

After I'm done having a meltdown in the locker rooms. I walk out into the gym seeing everyone sitting on the sidelines while coach explains the activity for today.

Ugh, I think I'd rather be in detention.

Everyone's eyes dart to me. Stupid freaking double doors!

Some boys whistle and catcall me. And I immediately regret coming out here. I try pulling the shorts down but it was hopeless.

"Attention seeker," A girl sitting in the third row said to Joslin and they laugh.

"Scott! You missed our game meeting!" Coach yells.

"Uh, sorry coach. I needed some time," I wiped my face a little.

"I'll let this off as a warning. Only because your gonna make it up by participating in today's activity," He clapped his hands together.

I sigh and nod my head. It's better than getting an F.

Mentally groaning, I make my way over to Scarlet who is sitting on Damon's lap in the first row.

Stopping in my tracks I debate on if I should go over there or sit somewhere else.

Seeing that the only spots available are next to Damon, scarlet and Joslin.

I'd rather be next to the happy couple.

Walking over to them I sit next to Damon while Scarlet hugs his neck.

I sit a few feet away from them.

"Hey aren't those mines?" Scarlet asked looking at her shorts which are on my body.

"I couldn't find mine sorry Scar.," I mumble, my voice raspy.

"Geez you sound horrible," Damon looked at me as I ignored his gaze and rolled my eyes.

"Thanks for telling me something I already know."

"Alright. I want two teams! Camden and newbie as captains!" Cue the whistle.

God, I feel like he's coach finstock.

"What are we playing exactly?" I asked Scarlet as both the guys stand on each side of coach.

"Dodge ball."

"Oh god. I'm already the first to get hit and the game hasn't even started yet," I huff and she chuckles.

Do you ever get the feeling as if someones staring at you?

I pull my gaze from Scarlet and my eyes meet with blue ones. he flashes a dimpled smile and winks at me.

I blush and look away so he wouldn't see my now red cheeks.

"Ouu You guys are cute," Scarlet wiggled her eyebrows making me blush even more. If it was possible.

I know I watch a lot of supernatural shít.

But did I just hear Damon growl like a wolf? or a dog?

Teen Wolf and supernatural have gotten to my head.

I shake my head ignoring my weird ass thoughts.

* * *

"I'm totally gonna die today.." I mumbled to myself as the games about to start.

"Not on my watch," Brett winked.

Damn, that was cute.

There were two teams. I'm on Brett's team along with Scarlett and some other kids.

On the other, there are Damon, Joslin, and others. Once the game has started I try to not get hit.

Joslin throws a dodge ball my way and I cover my face ready for impact.

When I don't feel anything I remove my hands only to see Brett's back. Damn, he's tall.

I widen my eyes when I see he's caught the ball into his hands.

"Oops sorry babe you're out," He smirks at Joslin who groans.

"Your lucky you're hot!" She storms away to the bleachers along with other students who've been hit.

"How'd you do that?"

"I was captain of the basketball team at my old school," I widen my eyes kind of impressed. Well, I mean it's not really surprising. I knew he had to at least played on sport in his life. I mean look at him!

"Will you two stop flirting? We have a game to win!" Damon yelled across the gym.

"Someones jealous," Brett smirked.

"He's not," I shake my head and scoffed.

"Oh yeah? then he wouldn't be glaring me down every time I step closer to you," He stared down at me.

"Damon's dating Scarlett he's far from jealous."

"Doesn't mean he still can't be jealous. I mean, I would too if I were him." He winked at me then sideways smirked at Damon. As no one was paying attention seeing that Joslin was into her phone. Coach is talking on the phone in his office.

Everyone else was talking to everyone around them, waiting for the game to start again. Scarlet was the only one watching.

How is no one seeing this?

Brett grabs me by my waist. I feel his lips close to my ear which sends shivers down my body.

I almost forgot we were in the middle of gym class.

"In three... two.." I frown in confusion when Brett gets ripped away from me by Damon.

"What do you think you're doing?!" He growled through gritted teeth, pushing Brett and I get in between them before it gets ugly.

"Damon Stop," I mumbled enough for him to hear.

Scarlet was on her way over here. I shook my head and she understood.

She knows that I can calm Damon down when he gets upset. I don't know how I can do it but he listens.

"Why so mad Damon? Jealous?" Brett chuckled, a smirk still plastered on his face.

"Why would I? I have a girlfriend. She's my best friends sister. when Harley's not here to watch her, I am." He glared.

Watch me? WATCH ME?!

I feel my heart break at his words.

I'm just his best friends, little sister.

"Then don't touch me again," Brett said as coach gets off the phone and blows his whistle.

"Boys! if you wanna fight That's what wrestling is for!" Brett snickered and bumps past Damon.

I stare at the floor frowning feeling Damon's stare on me.

"Look at me muffin," He demands. I slowly look up at him.

"Don't trust him," Is all he said and walked away, Scarlett walking after him.

The game continues with Brett Stopping every ball from hitting me.

"Coach this isn't part of the game!" Damon yelled.

"It kinda is. See you can get people out of the game by catching the ball," Brett said dumbing down his words.

"Kids right Damon," Coach replied and Damon groans.

The score is 12-10.

So far our team is the winning side. That only leaves me, Brett and Damon.

"Two against one. Ready to quit Damon?" Said Brett.

Damon scoffs. "Not a chance," He gripped the dodge ball in his hands.

He then throws the ball, trying to hit Brett but he misses. Brett throws one back and Damon catches it with a smirk on his perfect lips.

"Your out McCall," Damon called. I know he's mentally having a celebration in his head.

"You got this bell," Brett tapped my nose and walked to the benches where everyone else is.

I slightly smile at his nickname for me.

Seriously Hermione you just met the guy.

"I'm so gonna die," I whisper to myself and sigh.

"It's just me and you wallflower," Damon smirked.

"Not for long," I said surprising myself at that mini confidence.

He throws a ball at me and I dodge it.

"You can do it Monnie!" Scarlet yelled. So does Brett and the rest of our team. I slightly smile and pick up a ball. I throw it across the room as it hits Damon in the chest and I widen my eyes.

Where did that come from?!

I have no idea!

Our team cheers loudly and I feel someone picking me up. The other team groaning and rolling their eyes about their team losing.

I look to see Brett has lifted me up in the air by my waist.

"I knew you weren't weak cutie." He said smiling at me. He tickles my waist making me want to laugh like a hyena but I just normally laughed, squirming around.

"Put me down!"

"As you wish," He puts me down back on my two feet and I realize were are standing very close to each other.

Damon stood across the room staring.

"You're nervous."

"I'm not," I looked everywhere but his eyes. Mine meet with hazel ones. He Stares at me with anger and.. jealousy?

No that can't be right.

Is THE Damon Conway jealous? He immediately covers up his expression once he sees my confused one.

Brett grabs my chin lightly and makes me stare into his blue eyes.

"When can I get to know you more cutie?"
He said causing me to giggle. Ugh, gross.

He smiles down at me.

"That's cute."

Is he always so forward and confident with his words?

"Stop flirting! Everyone is gone except for you two," Damon's voice echoed through the gym.

"Yet you're still here," Brett continued to stare into my eyes. Damon was now in front of us.

"I should go.." I smile at him and step away leaving his gaze. I start walking towards the locker rooms.

"You have a cute smile by the way," He yelled out. I smile to my self and step into the locker room.

Probably a bad idea leaving Damon and Brett by themselves...

Oops.
