Something so Simple
What the hell is this? Whatever it was it was not acceptable. He was pretty sure Marley knew that he was interested in her so why the hell was she talking to this Justin Bieber wanna be? He scoffed as the guy flipped his hair out of his face, what-a-freakin'-tool.
"What is that new cologne you're wearing?"
Jake turned his head, he knew the source of the voice.
"Jealously by you?"
He sighed and shut his locker, turning around as he rubbing his face with his hands. "What do you want Kitty?"
The blonde cheerio smiles. "Well I was going to introduce myself to the new football player Ryder Lynn…"
"Sounds like a porn star name." Jake mumbles. "Stupid."
Kitty sent him a glare. "But," She went on. "The girl you dumped me for has obviously preformed some kind of witch craft and he isn't noticing me." She raised a brow and gave him a threatening look. "You better fix this, Ryder and I need to be the star couple so control Honey Boo Boo's cousin." With that, she stuck her head up in the air and turned on her heel before walking away. Jake shook his head and was about to go to glee when he saw Ryder move some hair out of Marley's face. Jake growled as his…rage (Jealously) reached a boiling point and he walked right over to them and smoothly put an arm around Marley's shoulder.
"Hey," He smirked as Marley gave him a confused look. "Are you ready for Glee practice?" He asked with a low, possessive voice and she blinked in confusion. "Cause you know I was thinking about going over the sheet music for Grease, if your offer is still on the table." Her look of confusion turned into one of happiness and she beamed at him.
"You're going to try out for Danny?" She asks with that smile, the one that she saves only for him. "That is awesome Jake, you would be a perfect Danny just like I said before."
Jake smiled back at her and then looked back over to Ryder who was just kind of standing their awkwardly. "Well you do have that sorta effect on me."
Ok so he was wooing her, so sue him. But there was something off with this Ryder guy, like why did he just come up to Marley and start talking to her. "Oh right!" She exclaimed. "Jake this is Ryder he is a transfer student."
"Nice to meet you dude" Jake said with a nod, sizing him up and Ryder looked at them both in confusion. "So football?"
Ryder stuttered and then shifted so he wasn't leaning against the locker like the tool he was. "U-uh yeah um, it was great meeting you Marley and you to Jake." He looked around and secured the backpack on his shoulders. "But I have math class soon so I guess I'll see the two of you around." He said as he backed up and then walked away.
Shaking her head, Marley withdrew herself form Jake's grasp and raised her eyebrows at him. "What was that?" She asked and when Jake faked his own look of confusion she rolled her eyes. "Don't play dumb with me, what was that?"
"What was what?" Jake wondered as he shrugged his shoulders. "I was just meeting that friend of yours."
Marley laughed as she closed her locker. "Nooo, you went into complete alpha male mode." She turned back to him. "You pretty much came up to Ryder like you were two kids on a playground and claimed ownership on the lone toy truck." She took a deep breath. "Except I am not the lone toy truck" Marley said this all with a smile and then looked down at her feet. "But don't worry, Jocks are not my type…I like musicians better." She gave him one final smile before saying. "I'll see you in glee club." And leaving to her next class.
Jake smirked to himself, he had nothing to worry about this Ryder guy and if he did prove to be a threat, he knew who Marley preferred.
