The following days passed rather calmly, nothing interesting was happening, and my every day was only around the school and the house where I slept most of the time. Nothing bad or stressful happened, so I walked happy, like an oasis of peace.

I was just sitting at one of the tables in the library, doing my chemistry homework in silence. I tried to focus on it as much as possible, taking into account the fact that my grades in this subject are not quite good, so I want to improve it somehow. I was just writing down another chemical reaction when I heard the sound of a chair being pulled back, and as soon as I looked up, I noticed Jake sitting down in front of me. He looked at me closely, but in his eyes I saw something like regret, at the same time taking on uncertainty.

- Hi Sabrina. - He greeted hesitantly, as if he was afraid of my reaction, which I totally didn't understand

- Hi, Jake, what's up? - I asked right away, trying to relax the atmosphere a bit

- It's okay, I hope you too. I wanted to apologize to you for having so distanced myself from you recently. You didn't do anything wrong. The problem is, I think I started to feel something for you, and after this situation with Cooper, I thought there was something between you two, so I didn't want to interfere. However, I found out that you are just friends and I understood my mistake. I'm sorry. - he said, rubbing his hands nervously, his eyes fully focused on me the whole time

- Take it easy, Jake. - I smiled at him gently, trying to calm him down a little - I'm not mad at you. I understand you perfectly. After Cooper's behavior, I am not surprised that you interpreted it all that way, but I assure you that I am not in any relationship with him. Until now, I can't explain why he behaved like that then.

- Maybe he just likes you and is jealous?- Edwards suggested, and I snorted softly, feeling his words weren't true

- I don't think so. I don't think he would be able to feel anything for me. Rather, probably to a person like Jenice, who is very entertaining and despite everything, she and Cooper have a lot in common. - I commented, gesturing quite vividly at the same time, what the boy was watching

Yes, I am aware of the fact that perhaps Jenice Scott would not be able to make Noriegia happy as much as he deserves, but nonetheless I think they would fit well together. They have very similar lifestyles, many behaviors, common character traits. I also think that it would be possible for him to fall in love with her one day. Most of them have the same friends, they are often in each other's company, they like to be the center of attention. At first glance, they could be a perfect couple. However, something prevents him from looking at her that way.

- I don't know Jenice well, but I've heard a lot about her and there aren't any good opinions. I heard she's just a whore. Personally, I wouldn't even touch her with a stick through a rag.- the teenager sneered, at which I chuckled quietly seeing his disgust with this girl

- I had a few unpleasant situations with her and she is already on my list of people that I would like to kicked her as far as possible from here. - I added, hiding my notebook in my backpack

- We can do that. - The boy joked again, but his expression was completely serious

- I wish I can dealt then with her gang of plastic friends later. - I replied, getting up from the seat and together with Jake we left the library, heading for the classroom where we will have classes at the moment - Are you sitting with me?

- Are you asking or do you know? - he muttered, nodding his head, then together we marched into the chemistry room, immediately heading to the back of the room where my bench was

All the time I could feel Cooper's eyes on me as he was standing at one of the tables in the company of his buddies who were laughing at something out loud. His eyesight was fucking stressful and it made my body shiver. Memories of that night kept coming back to me, which made my heart beat faster. I do not hide that I would like to repeat it, but I do not know if it is the same in his case. I sat in my seat and unpacked all the things I needed for this lesson, then looked up to meet his eyes immediately. He gave me a fleeting smile, then returned to talking to his colleagues who demanded his participation in their conversation. I was watching him for a moment when Jenice suddenly entered the classroom, wearing a very little covering outfit as always. I watched as she headed for the group of boys with a proud smile. What I didn't like the most was the moment she stood in front of Cooper. She slung her arms around his neck, then began to bring her lips closer to him. She perfectly tried to kiss him, and as she was close to it, he jerked her away from him. I was in a great shock because I had never seen him deny himself any pleasure with girls. Now, one of the sexiest girls in our school is trying to kiss him and he won't let her?! I watched the whole situation in amazement, analyzing every moment. Moments later, his gaze shifted back to me, but he showed no specific emotion. Seconds later, his ex-lover's gaze fell on me as well, and she gave me an almost murderous look, then snorted nervously and sat down on her bench.

- Wow, I guess your ship is not going as it should. - Edwards whispered to me, to which I nodded my head slightly, a slight smile appeared on my face

I don't know why I felt so much satisfaction at this event, but I couldn't control it. It was just like that. Moments later, the chemistry teacher entered the class, ready to start lessons. I sat back and tried to focus on her lecture as she mentioned that in a week she was going to do a test for us in this section. I really want to learn my best from it, because chemistry is not my forte and I would not like to have problems getting to the next grade.

As soon as the lesson was over, I headed towards the school cafeteria to eat breakfast as I was really hungry. I entered a huge room that already contained a lot of people. I looked around carefully, then saw the table where Nessa was sitting with her squad. Of course, I immediately moved towards them, as there was a free space waiting for me. I sat down in my seat, greeting everyone in there with a quick "hey." I set about eating my meal, listening to the conversations going on here. Suddenly I heard applause and loud squeals, as soon as I looked up, I noticed our school cheeleaders team, headed by Lauren, just entered the cafeteria, doing a little show. They looked phenomenal in these outfits.

- Holy shit. - I heard Barrett whisper, who leaned slightly towards me, all the time staring in admiration at the teens

Her words described it all perfectly. As far as I know, these girls are training in half an hour so they must be ready for it. I admit that they looked stunning, although Scheldon was the biggest hit there anyway. I gave her a proud smile, and she winked at me and walked along with the other girls to their table. Most of the guys just looked them away, and then each returned to their previous activities.

- I swear for you, Sab, and for Lauren, I could completely change my orientation. - Nessa muttered, probably still impressed by the situation that had just happened

- .- I joked, at which the girl smiled aggressively

- I completely agree - she nodded happily, sending me a kiss in the air

- Ey, I don't know if you know, but I'm still here. - Jaden grunted dissatisfied with the situation, and we both chuckled at it

- Jaden the jealous is one of my favorite versions of you. - Ness muttered, moving closer to him, then she placed a quick kiss on his cheek, at which the boy immediately smiled.

I watched them happily. I thought the two fit so damn well, so I really hoped they would do something about it and try to get something official between them. Watching them like that, I began to feel a desire to have something officially as well. However, currently I don't have anyone. I don't have a person who loves me and who I love in such a way as to be in a relationship with myself.

I was just leaving the school building, following one of the alleys I was going to come home today. It was a very tiring day, so I couldn't wait to lie down in my bed, cover my body with a warm duvet and fall asleep. Suddenly I heard quick steps behind me. Moments later, Jaden was beside me, whose presence with me surprised me a bit, as he and I hardly ever talked to each other except when Ness or Cooper were with us.

- Taking advantage of the fact that Nessa is not with us, I would like to ask for your advice. - he said, glancing at me with an almost imploring gaze that I have never seen in him before

- Advice on what? - I asked, taking the next aisle, and the dark-haired teenager kept pace with me all the time

- It's about Nessa, or rather that I think I like her. - he suddenly confessed, at which I huffed a short laugh, then I realized that this is probably not a very appropriate reaction at the moment, so I tried to be serious

- You just notice it now? Jaden, we've all seen this for a long time. - I commented, to which he sent me a slightly surprised, at the same time uncertain look

- You can see it that much from me? - the boy was surprised

- Not so much. But if you look at it more closely, yes. For example, I am an excellent observer, and I notice a lot of small details that generally few people notice. I can see all those looks at her, your smile every time she makes any move towards you, and your murder in your eyes when you see her in the company of some other boy, and how often you glance at her lips and feel like kissing her . - I mentioned, introducing him to a greater and greater surprise and admiration of my perceptiveness

- Shit, you're fucking good at these things.- commented - You must have watched a lot of romantic movies

- This as well. But I just always belonged to very perceptive people who analyzed a lot and liked to observe different situations. So now, tell me what to advise you on? - I returned to the question he asked me at the beginning of our conversation

- I would like to confess it to her, because I see that there is something between us and I do not want to waste it. I want to talk to her about it, but I don't know how to go about it. - he complained, and I listened to it all with interest, because for the first time in my life I saw Jaden in the form of such uncertain, helpless, which was a really strange phenomenon

- In my opinion, you should invite her on a date, you will have a good time together, and then you will tell her exactly how you feel about her. Once upon a time, Nessa told me her dream date is a sunset beach date. You can take advantage of this. - I said when we got to my house in front of which we stopped

- Thanks, Sab, let Cooper make it up to you in good sex. - He joked, then we said goodbye with a quick hug and the boy went on the way to his house, and I started unlocking the door.

Coming home is one of the best things that happened to me today. I was very happy as soon as I crossed the threshold and I knew that here I finally have my longed-for peace, which I really need at the moment.

I was just lying under the blanket, cuddling up to it and trying to fall asleep, because the only thing I was dreaming about at the moment was a dream. Just as I felt like I was losing it, my phone rang loudly in the room. Reluctantly, I lifted my head from the pillow and reached for the device with a slight annoyance as I glanced at its screen. It was a message from Lauren, containing two photos and the caption "Damn, is this coming back again?" The photos showed Cooper and Jenice sitting together on a park bench, being overly affectionate, kissing and hugging each other. I started to feel my heart beating harder and harder and tears gathering in my eyes. Why the hell am I feeling jealous at this point? After all, me and Noriega are not together, so why am I so bothered by the fact that he is kissing another girl?

Is it possible that I am beginning to feel something again ..?
