Hidden Feelings
Chapter 2:(Grace P.O.V.)
As I started walking to my next class, on the corner of my eye, I saw Mika hug Jerry and gave me a huge smirk. My mouth dropped.
Was Mika just using Jerry because she hated me? Was she playing him? Does she really love Jerry? What the hell is going to on?
Meanwhile, I was so in thought of Mika, I had bumped into someone in the hall way.
"OH MY GOD, I'M SORRY!" I say out of reflex. Looking at who it really was, It was only Kim. She gave me a warm smile and she shook her head at me.
"It's ok, Gracie." I then started helping her pick up her books. After, we started to walk to class together. "Soo, I saw you and Jack walking to school together." Kim says a little tense. I gave her a knowing look and shook my head at her. She smiled and chuckled a little bit, then nudged my arm. "Oh come on Grace. I'm just playing with you. I know y'all's aren't like that." Pausing she grabbed my arm to stop us and gave me a serious look. "Y'all's aren't like that right?" I roll my eyes.
"No, Kim, I swear on my life because you know I like someone else." She whined.
"Yeah, but you won't tell me who. It doesn't make any sense! And we've been best friends since preschool! I swear and you know that I wouldn't tell anyone, anything! Plus you know who I like, why can't I know who you like." Kim exclaimed. I just stared at her, speechless. She scoffed and glared at me. Kim then walked away, more like run, but you know. I closed my eyes and breathed out.
Great, one of my best friends is mad at me.
The only reason I never told them or her was because they would take it the wrong way, I'd never hear the end of it, and I just really don't know.
Walking with my head down low, I dreaded this whole week.
Lunch Time
I was at my locker putting books away when Mika threw a glare at me.
My mouth dropped.
What did I do?
Sighing, I decided to head on to the cafeteria.
"Hey, Marge." I say. She gave me a smile in response. "What's for lunch today?"
"Slob." With that she dumped whatever on my plate and waved me off so she could serve the rest of students.
I then looked to everyone in the cafeteria, who didn't seem to notice me as I do.
I saw there was the Wasabi Warriors table... With Mika included. The cheerleader/players/populars/jocks table. The nerd table. The musical group table. The weird people table. The normal ones and lastly the quiet ones table.
Shaking my head, I knew that I didn't fit in anywhere. Yes, I was a cheerleader but I really didn't want to sit with them. All they'd do is brag about their new girlfriend or boyfriend for the week. Yes, I was a straight A student and on the high, high, honor roll (even though no one knows it but Jack) but the people at the nerd table were too smart for my taste. Yes, I could sit with Jack and them, but Kim is mad at me and Mika is there.
There really was no spot for me, so instead, as quietly as possible, I went out of the cafeteria. I then went upstairs on the roof and sat on the concrete.
This is where I would go every day. No one would notice and that was fine with me. I took out my lunch I brought from home and started to eat my peanut butter sandwich.
Here on the roof, it was sanctuary. My escape from everyone and everything. It over looked Seaford and the sea, which is one of the things I loved. Then all around was flowers from the gardening group. I sighed as a mild breeze went through. Everything was perfect...
When my phone started vibrating. Frustrated, I put down my lunch and took out my phone. Jack. Answering it, I say angrily,
"What do you want?"
"Where are you Grace?"
"In school, eating my lunch, what do you think?" I shot back smartly. I felt his glare through the phone.
"Grace, no shit." I winced and closed my eyes. Jack barely ever swore. He only swore when he was really, really, angry. "Look, I'm sorry Grace, but the others and I are worried about you." I silently scoffed to myself. Of course only NOW would they ever notice.
"Jack. Leave me alone, I'm fine."
"Gr-" I didn't let him finish the word as I threw my IPhone across the roof (which I'll probably regret doing later). I didn't want to listen to this right now.
This is my only escape and I'm not going to waste it on Jack drama. I leaned on the barrier that surrounded the roof and crossed my arms across my chest.
Everything was peaceful for a while. I was enjoying everything right now. This is what I wished life would be. After a while, I was then interuppted by a oh, so, familiar voice.
"Grace, what do you think you are doing here?" Jack. I growled in frustration.
"JACK, I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE!" I say standing up. He walked over to me,
"Grace." He say cautionsly. I did the unexpected, I cried. I broke down.
Jack could always do this to me, I put my walls up and yet he manages to break all of them down. He shushed me and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a tight embrace.
"Why, Jack? Why? Why me?" He just rubbed my back.
Jack knew everything about me, from being the only one trying to support the family to having boy problems. I shudder at the thought of my dad.
Suddenly, I felt light headed, the only thing I remember was Jack catching me.
(OOOO, what happened? I'm sorry this is really slow but come on, I really want to like built tension. I want this story to be long.
