Jealous Jessica

Jessica Pov...

No one will know that I betrayed my best friend and had the man she wished to have. Gertrude actually has everything! She is always an A student, beautiful, and a muse, while I am a dumb friend following her around. I had a perfect beautiful body that catches everyone's eyes, including Jonathan's attention, but my body wasn't enough. He also needed a brain and that's what Gertrude was capable of.

While he was going to their company, I helped him finish his tasks regularly with the help of Gertrude and even used Gertrude to write perfect lines to capture his heart. I succeeded in being the beauty and brain in his eyes and the dream of getting laid by him successfully happened when I said yes to him. I will grab the chance since I have been dreaming of that for so long. Bumping with him before wasn't an accident, it was planned in an accidental way.

I'm really happy that I want to tell Gertrude everything about how he courted me, but Gertrude is always busy. I walked towards our faculty to see her since tomorrow is our graduation day when I saw her talking to my boyfriend. I feel jealous looking at them, happily talking to each other. Jonathan laughed and even touched Gertrude's shoulder. One of Jonathan's friends arrived with a bottle of drink. Jonathan opened one and gave it to Gertrude.

I can't watch them interact happily like this. My jealousy spikes. I know Gertrude is capable of stealing him from me because she has Jonathan's weakness, her brain, and she is fucking sexy too. She just doesn't wear daring clothes, as her family trained her to become the face of their big company. Felicity is not just a company here. They are also one of the companies sponsoring our school and the foundations we have. Felicity owned a tower just like Jonthan's family's business, a jewelry shop, fit and wear clothing, a wine rack, and a hypermarket. It's just that Gertrude lives like an ordinary person not to alarm people, she doesn't want to have friends because of the power they had. Only one dean knew she was Felicity's daughter and heir.

I bought sandwiches before joining them.

"Hi!" I beamed, joining them.

"Hi, babe!" Jonathan greeted, pulling me into his lap. I saw Gertrude swallow hard before looking somewhere else.

"Hi Ge!" I greeted her. She smiled and drank her water before talking.

"Hi Jess. Glad you came. I'm not sure if I can see you tomorrow. My brother has just arrived." She uttered. I panic when she talked about her brother. Jonathan must not know who his brother was.

"Oh! Then we should celebrate today. Is it okay with you babe?" I asked Jonathan to navigate the topic.

"Sure!" He responded. My heart immediately calmed!

We both got our stuff and walked to one of Evan's buildings where most of the tenants were restaurants. We choose Italian since Jonathan and I love pasta, whilst Gertrude loves Paela.

We were enjoying our food when Jonathan decided to help Gertrude peel her shrimp and serve her some baked mussels. I'm jealous enough watching them biting my lips. His friend saw me and he helped Gertrude instead.

"Thank you!" Gertrude gestured before digging her food again.

I can't let them get close. I thought if Jonathan would be my boyfriend, Gertrude would feel what I felt, but it seemed not. Jonathan started to become close to her and started enjoying her company.

Today is our graduation day and I tried my best to avoid Gertrude and her family. I can't afford to face Gideon right now, as well as Gertrude. 

I looked around to find Jonathan but my eyes bulged, almost popping in their own, stunned when I saw his family talking to Gertrude sweetly. His father even holds Gertrude's hands as they exchange words. It seems they are talking about something relevant as they exchange smiles likewise with his mother. They even help her fix her toga. Did she get the upper hand already? Why am I always late? Is it because she is a Cushe?

I bit my lips and tied my tongue watching them. I can't show dishonor right now. There is always the right time to intrude to not look like a villain. I'll take mine soon, as her knight!

We are already seated enjoying ourselves as everyone is getting their diplomas. I glance at Gertrude who is just four seats away from me. She exudes an excellent posture and beauty, illuminating the crowd even if she hadn't spoken yet or smiled. 

She was my best friend but I am jealous of everything she had. I am not poor, but I am one of the people who can't get what I want without bribing or cheating while she has everything, even if she hasn't tried anything yet. It's unfair to those people who are trying their best. I'm scared that Jonathan might see something in her. I have to stop him from finding the beauty inside her. It doesn't matter if he will learn that Gertrude is the face and heir of Felicity.

I managed to get away from Gertrude's family's sight until the graduation was done. When she received her award as cumlaude, everyone cheered. I managed to sneak out after I got my diploma.

I'm almost near Jonathan's family when I saw him fuming in anger, likewise with his family. They are furious restraining, Jonathan, before they immediately leave. I watched their car hurriedly leave when I heard someone talking about him. I walked towards the crowd when I saw what they were talking about. It was the three years ago video of Jonathan fucking the cheerleader in the bathroom of a business management building. I covered my mouth in shock. I can't believe Jonathan has a video like this. I know he was a heartthrob everyone wanted to get laid by him. The fuck that he has a handsome face and a beautiful body.

We heard this rumor before that the cheerleader of the basketball team was having sex in the school bathroom, but the news immediately died and the cheerleader left the school. Back then no one talked about this. I didn't know it was Jonathan!

I left the crowd unnoticed, going to my family to leave as well before I could bump into Gertrude's family.
