13 things to know about Jade West

.

.

Number nine: Jealousy

.

.

Whether she only displayed her jealousy in order to annoy him, or whether she actually was worried about other girls hitting on him (the latter being ridiculous in his eyes) - either way it was a side of her he had learned to love.

.

.

"Jade, you're being ridiculous."

"Oh, so now I'm the one being ridiculous, while you expect me to be perfectly fine with you flirting with about five different bitchy…"

I interrupted her little rant "Okay, I was not flirting with them, we were only talking! I don't see how there's anything wrong with…"

"Yeah, do not even try to pretend that you don't realize how they are staring at you. It's pathetic."

"They are not staring at…"

"Oh, so now you're defending them? Great, why not go back and join them again? Maybe have an orgy?"

I buried my face in my hands as I realized arguing with Jade would not get me anywhere. So I tried to calm her down instead.

"Jade, I love you, okay? I don't care about any other girls…"

"Yeah, that's what you always say."

"Well, cause it's true!"

"Then why even bother talking to them?"

"I'm just being nice, is that such a…"

"Since when does being nice mean letting a bunch of sluts undress you with their eyes?"

I couldn't help but smirk.

"Don't worry; you're the only one who's allowed to undress me."

She tried to glare at me, but couldn't hide the small smile forming on her face. It was tiny, but hey, at least she wasn't snapping at me anymore.

This was the ninth thing I had learned about Jade West. Though her permanent jealousy might be a bit annoying, it seems to be her weird way of showing me that she actually cares for me.

She was approaching her locker in a bit of a hurry; class would start in only three minutes. As she quickly looked for her theater history book she caught a glimpse of him, he was still in the hallway talking to some girl she didn't know. But it was right there that she decided to hate this girl. She couldn't quite explain it – maybe it was the way the girl was smiling at him, maybe the way she flipped her hair, all she knew was that it caused an unknown feeling to creep up inside of her and she didn't like it at all.

He saw her walking through the school entrance, but right as he wanted to walk up to her, he was distracted by this girl from his Spanish class. She was asking him something about their latest assignment and he quickly explained it to her, not wanting to turn her down. He did not notice the glances coming from his girlfriend on the other side of the hallway.

The bell rang and she shut her locker, heading to her first class.

"Jade, wait up!" she heard a familiar voice calling for her and she was not sure if she wanted to talk to him right now. A little voice inside of her told her that she was being ridiculous, but she couldn't deny that this girl flirting with him had affected her.

"Hey" he said, not so sure if she was okay, since she didn't immediately turn around to greet him.

"Hey" she said and it sounded a bit harsh, almost like she was mocking his upbeat tone.

He was confused. Had he done something wrong?

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing" she said, her voice still somehow cold "I have to go to class."

"You sure, cause you don't look like…"

"Don't you have other things to worry about? Like pretty girls to stare at or flirt with?"

Now that she had said it out loud, she actually got angry at him. Why did he have to flirt with other girls when he had her?

He was even more confused now, not sure if she was being serious or if this was some sort of joke he didn't get.

"Is this because of the girl I was talking to earlier? She's in my Spanish class and I definitely wasn't flirting with…"

"Oh come on, you can't tell me you didn't notice the way she was smiling at you and flipping her hair. It was more than obvious."

He was way too shocked about her sudden outburst of jealousy to come up with good arguments.

"…Are you being serious?"

She was really angry now, what kind of stupid question was that?

"Of course I'm being serious, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"Why are you screaming at me now, I still don't get the point of this, were you really jealous?"

She glared at him, not sure what to say. Would jealousy make her vulnerable too? Probably. But she couldn't deny it anymore.

"What if I was?"

"Well, then it was completely unnecessary, if she was actually flirting with me, I didn't notice it. I really didn't."

She looked at him, trying to figure out if he was lying, but it didn't look like it. He was looking at her with those chocolate eyes of his and she just had to believe him.

He saw how her face slowly softened and was relieved.

"There's no need for you to be jealous" He stepped closer to her and gave her a quick kiss "There really isn't."

She slowly nodded "I really have to go to class now."

"Me too, see you at lunch?"

She nodded again and watched as he walked down the corridor and vanished. He had possibly been right; there was no need for her to be jealous. But there was still that feeling, and she wasn't so sure if it would be easy to get rid of it.
