So I'm typing these and a few other chapters while I have the computer, so there probably won't be reviewers + questions for a while. I can TRY to do reviewers, but I think y'all would much rather the story. So here I go!

Jade Lautner-JogiaXD – Awww :( Too bad! Oh well :P

Chapter 9

As we reach first period, Jade stops me again.

"If people ask about us, just ignore it. Okay?" she says.

"No problem Jade. But I think they're just gonna get more annoying so it'll be better to address it as soon as possible." I said. It was true; if people here don't get what they want, they keep asking, gradually getting more annoying.

"I know but let's just ignore it for today. Deal?" she says.

"Deal." I said, kissing her head. We walk into Sikowitz's class room (A/N I have no idea what period they have his class. So let's pretend it's first!), and everyone stops and stares at us. Wow. Déjà vu much?

"Oh gosh." Jade says under her breath. I pull two chairs next to each other and Jade sits down after I do. We hear people whisper stuff like "Why did he pick HER?", which made me upset. And I could tell Jade was getting angry too, because her grip on my arm tightened. One boy even said "They don't belong together, Griffin's a cool guy and Jade's a bitch." I immediately stand up and say "Hey! You might not like her, but she's my girlfriend so BACK OFF!" Out of the corner of my eye I see Jade reaching for her stuff and walking out the door, I'm guessing to go to the janitor's closet.

"Do you see what you did?" I yell at everyone. "You just don't understand that I LOVE her! It doesn't matter if YOU don't love – or like – her, I DO." I proceed to grab my stuff and walk out of the classroom to find Jade. Since the girls' bathroom was closer, I asked a girl to go in there and see if Jade was there; she wasn't. I walk to the janitor's closet, and open the door. Jade was cutting up the janitor's last trash can.

"Baby…" I said.

"I can't do it anymore. I can't deal with all the crap we… no I… am getting. " she said.

"Come on, don't say that! You can't tell me that NO ONE questioned when Beck asked you out?" I said.

"No they did… but they didn't care then. They obviously do now." she said.

"Jade, come on, just give it another week or two, I PROMISE you, it will blow over. And if it doesn't… I will personally… go blow it over…" I said, as she smiled to herself.

"Thanks Griffin." she said.

"And I want you to know you're not the only one getting crap from people. Some guy told me 'So how does it feel to be the rebound guy?' today. But I'm still hanging on for you. I wish you would at least try to do the same. You're a strong girl, and you can overcome anything life throws at you, even if it is crap." I said.

"Thanks, I'll keep trying. I just wish people would build a bridge and get over it." Jade told me.

"Well if they don't build that bridge, I will build the bridge and drive them over it." I said.

"I like your puns." she said. Since she was sitting, and I was crouching next to her, she lifted up and put her arms around my neck. I put my arms around her waist and we stayed there in silence.

"I really do love you Griffin." she told me after a few minutes.

"I really do love you too." I said while smiling.

Awwwwwwwws :) Less fluffy this time haha. This was a really cute chappie for me to write, so I really hope you guys like it! I'm also going to update You Belong With Me later today, so look out for that :D
