CHAPTER 16: Spreading the Word
*****PAGE BREAK******
Jake's POV:
The next morning, we were waiting for the Bensons and the Malloys. I had no idea how we were going to do this. Spread the word about our new found relationships, I mean.
The Bensons arrived first. Steve had a nasty bruise on his jaw.
After they arrived, the girls arrived. Right away, Steve made a move to talk to Eddie, but she ignored him. Then, he attempted to grab her arm, and Eddie pulled away and head straight towards me. She then grabbed my hand and held it, sqeezing my hand tightly. Startled, I looked at her. She gave me a lopsided grin, and winked.
Feeling my face growing warm, I glanced at Steve who had no expression on his face. His brothers however, were grinning, and gave me the thumbs up. I looked over at Josh, who was grinning and blushing. He was holding Beth's hand. Wally was grinning too, he was holding Caroline's hand.
Ignoring Steve's stare that was boring through my skull, I walked all the way to the high school, never once letting go of Eddie's hand.
Eddie's POV
Yes, yes. Keep staring. You'll never get me. Sucker.
I had very smug thoughts towards Steve.
Serves that creep right, forcing himself onto me.
What really surprised me though, was that Jake never let go of my hand. Not once.
When we got to the school, we were greeted with stares. Then, several of the baseball guys came over to us and congratulated Jake for "finally growing a pair". I rolled my eyes at those comments. In the end, they eventually did say they were happy for us, and that they totally say it coming.
It was funny, all day, no one seemed all surprised that we were actually going out. It was like everyone preticted it.
Steve stared at me all day, and glared at Jake all day.
We happily ignored him.
Things seemed like they were finally falling into place.
But if that's true, why do I feel like something bad is going to happen?
Beth's POV
As expected, my siblings and our boyfriends got a lot of stares when we arrived to the school.
I couldn't help smile smugly at Belinda, who glared back at me. No doubt she had wanted to be the one to "expose" my relationship with Josh.
After a while, no one stared any more. Like Eddie and Jake, Josh and I got a lot of "I knew it!" comments. Then again, we had already been together before, back when we first moved to Buckman.
Now, the only problem we have is how our parents are going to react. Technically, we're still not supposed to be hanging out, let alone dating.
To be honest, I'm scared of what they might say or do.
Josh's POV
I looked down at Beth who smiled back up at me. After everyone stopped staring or stating that they "Totally saw it coming", everyone continued to do whatever they were doing.
Except for two.
Belinda glared at us the whole time, probably because she wanted to spread the word about us first. I don't know what she expected for the other kids at school to do or say if they had found out about Beth and I. But as she can now see, no one really cared. She kept whispering to Ben, who in the meantime was glaring at Jake and Eddie.
I have a feeling they're up to no good.
Wally's POV
My buddies from school smirked at me and teased me.
"Remember how you HATED Caroline?"
"Yeah, you wouldn't shut up about her!"
"Aw, Wally's grown up!"
"Ha! I saw this coming since 4th grade!"
I rolled my eyes and punched them playfully.
Caroline giggled and squeezed my hand. I suddenly noticed something: no one really came up to her to talk to her.
Caroline's POV
"Hey Caroline? How come really talks to you?" Wally asked.
I sighed and shrugged. "I never really had actually friends. I mean, besides you and your brothers. The girls at school exclude me, and I'm not masculin enough to hang out with guys, like Eddie."
Wally frowned. "Is that why you would always try to pair up with me in school?"
I nodded. "It seemed easy. People just assumed I would do it to rile you up. At first I did, but after a while it just became a habit."
Wally got a distant look in his eyes. "All of those times...you were so lonely and I just kept pushing you away...I'm so sorry." He then hugged me.
I smiled. "Don't be. It doesn't really matter."
And it didn't, because right now, I'm just happy to be with him.
? POV
It made me sick, seeing them look so happy together. I'm sure I'm not the only one, I saw Steve Benson give them looks. Eddie humiliated me and now, him too. Jake isn't any better, and he betrayed his best friend.
I'm going to get even with them, no matter what.
Thank you all for your wonderful patience, love, and support. I love you all so much!
I've been doing better lately. I've recently gotten another blood test, but no results have come in yet.
I was able to write lately, because I sprained my ankle and I can't dance for a week, even though we have competitions coming up :/
But hey, I'll manage :D
Anyways, I have a random question for you guys: How many boy readers do I have? And how many girl readers do I have? Just curious.
Anyways,
I hope you enjoyed it!
I'm so sorry I don't write as often, but I'm sick. Like, really sick. Also, I'm so sorry about any spelling or grammer mistakes, I just suck at spelling and I don't have the correcting grammer thing on my computer :/
Please review!
Love you all my Jolly Ranchers!
