CHAPTER 7

Today was another day of school, and my stupid alarm, woke me up from my place of comfort. I grudgingly got up from the bed and took a shower. I dressed up in my uniform, arranged my bag, and I was ready for school.

I went downstairs and to my surprise I saw my breakfast kept neatly on the table. I smiled and sat down to eat it "imagine if the food was poisoned" I heard Ethan say from behind me.

"then the three of you would be sued for murdering me" I replied him, while he chuckled. "by the way, was it you who prepared it?"

He scratched the back of his hair nervously, okay, why was he nervous? "uhm! yah, I thought that you might be hungry"

I smiled at him and said "thanks" he only nodded and sat down to eat his own food. "uhm! where are the rest?" I asked because I haven't seen any of them, it isn't as if I want to.

"Jasper has soccer practice, and Liam needed to do something, so they went together". I nodded at his reply, and we continued eating.

After we were done with having breakfast, we both headed to school separately. When I arrived at school, I searched for Lucy everywhere but I didn't see her. I even tried calling her but she wasn't picking her call. So I gave up, I was already late for class, the hallway was now empty.

I walked down the empty hallway hurriedly, my sneakers making soft squeaking sounds on the polished floor. I was lost in thought, replaying the latest drama with my friends. As I approached the janitor's closet, I heard a strange noise. At first, I thought it was just the pipes creaking, but then I heard it again - a low, moaning sound.

My curiosity piqued, I slowed down, my ears perked up. The sound was definitely coming from the janitor's closet. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I wondered what could be going on in there.

I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I should investigate further. But my curiosity got the better of me. I pushed the door open, and a sliver of light illuminated the dark space.

What I saw took my breath away. Lucy, my best friend, was standing against the shelves, her eyes closed, and her head thrown back in ecstasy, snd Jasper, was standing in front of her, his eyes locked onto hers.

As I turned to leave, Lucy's eyes snapped open, and she saw me standing there. For a moment, we just stared at each other, the tension between us palpable.

I turned to leave, I mean it's not my business, but somehow I was feeling hurt it was as if there was a pain in my chest, and I didn't know why.

I had English first, so I went for my English class. While the class was going on, Lucy walked in, the teacher saw her and said "you're late again Lucy, next time detention"

Lucy nodded and then sat beside me "hi! can you lend me your note after the class" she smiled at me.

I sighed, I wonder why I am even mad at her, I mean, she did nothing wrong to me, it's not like I have feelings for him. Or do I?

"so you aren't a virgin?" I decided to ask her, so that she wouldn't assume I have feelings for jasper.

She blushed, what the heck? who's she actually blushing for? "well, it's a long story"

Now I was curious, have she been f**king Jasper for a long time, maybe even before I got here? "I won't lend you my notes if you don't tell me"

"I will tell you after the class" she tried to convince me. But the truth is that there was no way that I would be giving her my notes.

After class, since I was having a free period and Lucy wanted to ditch class, so we went to the school's garden, cus I'm not going home without the full gist. I raised up the topic and the bitch soon started blushing again, what the f**k?

"it started two weeks before you got here" she began.

"OMG! you lost your virginity three weeks ago to Jasper?" woh! you must be a s**t. I didn't say the last part out, cus I wanted to listen to the whole story first, before I judge her.

"he confessed his love to me, and I have already been crushing on him for a long time, so yes, I gave him. Aren't you proud of me? or are you jealous?" she teased.

Fool! "Jealous my foot, and how can I be proud that you gave your v-card to a man whore?"

She had a confused look on her face "what's your deal? it's my life and not yours, so don't judge me"

I was pissed now "look, don't talk to me again since you like to f**k a whore, you little s**t". I stood up and turned to leave, but stopped to say "if you say he loves you, then what of Tracy?". After that, I left.

Deep down I knew that the reason I snapped and judged her was because of I was jealous, I have feelings for Jasper, and that's why I ended our friendship.

I brought out my phone and dialed one of my cousin's number, she goes to this school too. She picked up in one ring "hey Barbie doll, seems you haven't entirely forgotten about me"

"I just ended my friendship with Lucy, so I needed to hang, you free Jasmine?"

"of course, anything for you cous'. Where are you?" she asked.

"at the garden" I replied her. Few minutes after we ended the call, she arrived at the garden.

"hey Barbie!" I smiled at her. "you know, I'm always available if you need me, and right now I think you do"

I sighed and said "I really do, I need you to help me to control my feelings for someone"

She grinned "you have a crush? OMG! you are finally growing up. But who is it?"

"Jasper, do you know him?" I really hoped she knew him, cus I wasn't ready for any explanation.

She nodded and said "of course, who doesn't. I will find awful things about him and tell you tomorrow, then I'll know if you would still have feelings for him, and trust me you won't"

I smiled at her and said "thanks".

She nodded and patted my shoulder "anything for you, come on let me introduce you to some of my friends" I nodded and followed her.

Lucy's POV

When Barbie left, I was heart broken. We have been friends for a very long time and she just ended the friendship, all because of Jasper. I didn't understand what was going on, I was devastated.

Tears flowed down my cheeks, I was still trying to get what just happened when I felt chocolate drink dripping down from my hair to my body.

Whoever did it sat beside me, I took a glimpse at the person and it was Tracy, with her minions.

She smiled "oh! I just wanted to tell you that you, are a stupid bitch"

My eyes locked on Tracy's furious face. She was flanked by her minions, their arms crossed and eyes blazing with anger. "You think you can just take Jasper from me?" Tracy spat, her voice venomous. "Everybody knows he's mine!"

I shrugged, a calm smile spreading across my face. "Jasper makes his own choices, Tracy. And he chose me." The sticky liquid from the chocolate drink still dripping down my face and clothes, and I could feel the coldness seeping into my skin. I didn't flinch, though. I just kept smiling, my eyes locked on Tracy's.

The minions gasped, their eyes wide with excitement. One of them, Rachel, took out her phone and started snapping pictures. I knew this would be all over social media within minutes.

Tracy turned to leave, but not before shooting me a triumphant glance. "You're just a slut, Lucy," she spat. "Jasper will never stay with you."

I laughed, the sound echoing through the hallway. "We'll see about that," I said, my eyes never leaving Tracy's back.

As Tracy and her minions walked away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration. My day had just gotten worse. First I got to class late, and was threatened with detention, next my best friend left me, now this. Can my day not get any worse?
