I didn't know what i was going to do about this Jake guy, but one thing i did know was that i couldn't tell Derek about it. If i thought he would overreact just about him staring at me it would be nothing compared to what he would do if he knew that Jake knew what we were and that he had told me to stay away from Derek, which was so not going to happen.
In the car on the way back to the house Derek kept looking at me so i knew he wasn't going to let this go, the only question was how long it would take him to ambush me. Derek took my hand and i gave it a squeeze to reasure him but even to me it seemed halfhearted, i was getting more nervous by the miniute about what i was going to tell him or not tell him, and when he glanced at me and lifted his brow and i knew he had noticed.
Simon and Tori were sat in the backseat arguing as usual, i was starting to think that was all they did, but it sounded forced like they were only doing it to keep things normal. They must know something is going on with me and Derek.
When we got home the house was empty, i had forgotten that aunt Lauren and Mr Bae had said they would be out. Normally i would have been glad to have a little alone time with Derek but today i was dreading it.
"I'm gonna go have a shower, i still feel icky from all that running today in Gym." I mumbled and fled towards the stairs.

I watched as she disappeared up the stairs, she is definately avoiding me. I contemplated following her but i couldn't well barge in on her if she was having a shower, she would probably kick my ass right back out of there and then i would get hell for it of everyone else. No, i decided she couldn't avoid me forever so i would wait until she came out.
I turned to go get a snack from the kitchen and came face to face with Simon and Tori, and they didn't look happy. In fact they both stood there with arms crossed and identical expressions on their faces, i should have known that they had picked up on the fact that something was wrong with me and Chloe.
"What the hell have you donre to piss her off" Tori demanded. That made my hackles rise.
"Why do you assume it was something i did" i growled back at her.
"Hate to break it to you bro, but you're the only one who can put her in a mood like that" Simon stated so matter of factly that it had me second guessing for a second, did i screw up again? But no, this started when she turned up late for lunch so it couldn't be my fault.
They kept watching me as i worked through those thoughts so i decided i had to put them straight or the would stay convinced that i was the one who had upset Chloe.
"It wasn't me alright! Something happened when she went back to class to get that notebook at lunch and she won't tell me what"
When i finished Simon and Tori just looked at each other and then she disappeared upstairs. I looked back at Simon and he indicated for me to follow him into the kitchen. I did.
At first we were both silent while Simon tested his blood and i made sandwhiches. It wasn't until we were both sat at the table that simon spoke.
"So what do you think happened?"
"I don't know" i admitted "Did Chloe mention anything to you?"
"No but then i haven't had much of a chance to speak to her since breakfast, and she was quiet at lunch" Simon said thoughfully
"What about tori, has she mentioned anything?" i asked. Afterall Chloe is in almost every class with her.
"The only thing that i can think of is that tori said she thinks Chloe saw a ghost this morning and that chloe seemed a bit confused about it, but other than that she hasn't said anything" he said then took a bite of his sandwhich.
I sat there thinking about what simon had said. Could that be what this is all about. Did that ghost freaked her out? Did it show up again at lunch? But if that was all it was why wouldn't she talk to me about it?

I had decided to actually have that shower, it gave me more time to think. when i came out of the bathroom, dressed in some denim shorts and a red tank top, i found Tori sat on her bed and by the look on her face i would guess that she was waiting for me. Well at least it wasn't Derek, i still hadn't quite figured out what to tell him.
I went and sat down in front of the mirror and blow dried my hair. Surprisingly, Tori waited quietly until i finished before she spoke.
"Ok so spill, what the hell is going on with you and wolf boy?" Tori demanded to know.
"N..n..nothing" i stuttered.
"Oh don't give me that crap Chloe, you've been acting weird since lunch so what did wolf boy do to piss you off"
"Derek didn't do anything" i said.
"Yeah, that's what he said so that means that something happend at lunch when you went to get the notebook" she stated so sure of herself.
I decided that i had to give her some kind of explanation so i told her about how jake has been watching me, how he was in the classroom waiting for me and how much he gives me the creeps. Though i intentionally left out the warning he gave me, just incase Derek was eavesdropping.
