A/N: The drama continues. Please R&R. Enjoy. BTW there is a lot of talking in this chapter too. I am sorry if you don't like that.
Chapter Four
We were in class now. Jacob did not feel or look any better. During Spanish, he barely paid attention in class. His mind was too focused on the 'rumor' going around.
At the end of every class when Jacob and I would walk to our other class, people started to whisper to each other. I blushed because I knew it was about me. The day was still the same. Jacob was in the same state of mind and I was feeling worse about it.
People actually thought that Jason - Jason Anderson - would actually like me.
During lunch, Jacob was still quiet. I tried to hug him a couple times to make him feel better. Sometimes he would smile, which was good. But then after a while, he goes back to his tension.
I put my forhead to his. "Don't worry."
He sat up straight and tried to look happier. "I'll try."
I hugged him to thank him and he hugged back. "It's just a rumor. Okay."
He nodded and looked a little better. It could not be more than a rumor. Some girls were just trying to discourage others from asking Jason Anderson. That must be it.
It was time for gym again. This time when I was in the locker room, the girls were acting different. They were whispering about me behind my back. I could only make out some of what they were saying, but it was really hard. Most of what I could hear was, "Do you think it's true?", "I can't believe he likes her." and other stuff like that. I did not need this attention. I did not want it even. I all needed and wanted was Jacob.
When I walked in the gym, we were still practicing our passing. I was still partnered with Tiffany, which annoyed me like crazy.
As I was about to pass the ball lightly to her she asked, "Do you like Jason?" and I kicked the ball to her head my accident.
"I am so sorry!" I apologized to her. I offered my hand to help her up, but she wouldn't take it. "Sorry! It was an accident."
"Yeah right!" She replied bitterly. She picked up her speed and ran off with rage.
"Nice hit." Jacob said, trying to make me feel better. "That must've hurt."
I laughed. "I hope she's not mad at me. Every year I always hurt someone during gym." I said embarrassed.
"S'kay. She'll be fine." I was glad Jacob was getting better. We smiled together.
Every one was staring at us now. I laughed even more for some idiotic reason. I hugged Jacob and thanked him for making me feel better. The coach came to me causally.
"Tiffany went to the nurse." He said.
"I'm so sorry." I said.
"It's fine. But now you need a partner."
"I can." Jacob raised his hand.
"Nah, you already have one." Just as the coach said that, Jason Anderson walked into the gym with a a late slip.
"Here coach." He said as he handed him the slip.
"Anderson, meet Cullen. You guys are partners." The coach announced. Jacob and my face fell sadly.
"Alright, get back to your partners!" The coach said then he blew on his whistle.
Jacob left to go to his partner, which was Gerlad. His face fell into anguish.
"Hey." Jason said to me while I wasn't paying any attention.
"Hi." I said and passed the ball to him.
I was silent. I was trying not to draw attention to myself from the other girls. My eyes hardly looked in any other direction but the down at the ground. He wasn't talking to me, so there was no reason for me to talk to him.
The only time I would look up was when I thought the gym period was over. The clock was still going slow. It felt like barely any time had past. Another time I would look up was to see Jacob. Every now and then, when I would look at him he was looking back at me. I tried to smile for him to show that nothing was happening. He took that and smiled back to me.
I finally looked back up at the clock in the gym. There was only 15 more minutes left. I was glad; I was a couple more minutes away from being with Jacob.
"You're Nessie, right?" Jason asked, which brought my head up.
I nodded and saw his face. He had blackish brown hair and was tall, but not as tall as my Jacob. He had sort of tan skin and he was looking at me.
"I'm Jason."
"I know." I shrugged. I was trying to look like I didn't care. But I did sort of cared. The most popular guy in the school was talking to me - the girl that accidentally hit people with soccer balls in the head.
We stopped talking for about five minutes. Now I was only ten minutes away from being with Jacob.
"So, you dating Jacob?" He asked out of the silence between us.
"Yeah. About two years." I smiled to Jacob as I answered Jason's question.
He noticed and started talking to me again. "That's nice."
But that was all.
Finally! The school day was over. After I finished changing, I waited for Jacob by the gym enterance. He wasn't there yet. I did rush out of the gym and rushed changing. Jacob usually took his own time to leave the gym and change. I usually did but not today.
"Hey, again." I heard a voice say to me and I turned around.
"Hey, Jason." I said calmly and I searched around the area for Jacob.
"You waiting for someone?" He asked with his hands in his pockets.
"Yeah. Jacob. You've seen him?"
"No. He probably is still changing."
Whenever I we talked to each other, our conversation were short and simple.
As Jason looked like he was about to say something else, Jacob comes to my side. "You ready to go?"
He held my hand and we went. I didn't even say good bye to Jason. Jacob just wanted me out of there. He led me out to his car and I sat in the passenger seat while he was in the driver's seat. He was silent.
Jacob was asking like me when Heather asked him to the school dance. Maybe if we both experienced being jealous, we would become a stronger couple, if we stayed a couple...
