I stared into Eric's agonized chocolate eyes. He shook his head, and I took that as a sign of disappointment. He turned on his heel, and left my sight. I felt Jacob's slick hand sneak around my waist just after Eric fled.

"Oh Sash-," Jacob started speaking softly, but I jumped out of his grasp before he could continue his eerie sentence. I whirled around to face his relaxed profile. Even after an incident like that, he kept a casual aura. It was sick!

"Don't you 'Oh Sash' me!" I screamed at him, louder than I realized my vocal chords could handle. I was fed up with his obsessing over me since summer.

"Sasha, I really lo-"

"Just...shut up and leave!" I opened the door and pointed the way out, but he just sat there.

"I am not leaving until you admit you like me!" Jacob's face contorted into an angry expression, but the rage boiling within me was at higher temperatures.

"I don't like you. I hate you." I felt a tear slip down my cheek, and I crossed my arms. "Now leave, or I will get Livvie." I wasn't kidding either. Jacob could get in trouble if the strict Winchester dorm monitor unveiled her fury. I could care less at the moment though.

"Fine. But someday, you will admit your feelings for me." He got up and walked out of the room, giving one last sentimental glare.

"Good luck with that because I don't lie." My choice of words had to sting him like venom, but I wasn't sure if he even bothered to hear my thoughts.

After he was officially out the room, I felt weary. It was settling in that Eric had just broken up with me. I glanced at the charm bracelet that he had gifted me. How on Earth could I have let such a scandalous move be done? I had a hunch that Jacob would confess to Callie and break her innocent heart. I forced myself together and exited the room, entering the center of the party. I composed myself and walked towards Paige who was laughing with Gina.

"Paige-"

"Gather round the table everyone, it's present time!" Paige obviously hadn't noticed me when she said it.

I was propelled to my seat at the head of the table. I battled through the feeling of puke in my stomach and opened present after seemingly meaningless present. I know I sound spoiled when saying that, but at that period of dismal time, my mind was too wrapped up with the incident. I was faking my happiness toward people. In fact, I wasn't even registering what I was getting.

I finally got through the giant pile and thanked everyone. After that, I said good-bye to guests, and they left.

Jasmine moved through the crowd and cynically whispered in my ear. "Nice cover up." I could see her spitting on my shoes if people weren't around. She strolled away. Once again, I felt a wave of dejection wash over.

Paige and I gathered my gifts and shoved them into our dorm room. I wordlessly entered the bathroom and took a change of VS Pink pajamas.

"Are you ok, Sash?" Paige asked from her bed. I felt like I would choke up if I opened my mouth, so I just nodded. I felt something vibrate and saw my phone light up. I read the screen. Callie.
