MLC- Chapter 12

Shane and Shannon were standing near the entrance waiting. I smiled at them, then gave a little wink. Matt gave a frown at me. I had to laugh. Shane winked back at me. Matt placed a protective arm around my waist. Shannon put his hands over his mouth, 'in shock'. Shane just smirked at Matt. When we reached where they were standing, Shannon was ready to ask questions.

"So when did this happen?" Looking at us then noticing Jeff and Jessica holding hands.

"Hmm… last night." Matt said. Jeff kissed Jessica when the bell rang. Matt hugged me and quickly kissed my forehead, before heading to his locker.

"So… do you even like him?" Was Shane's first question after Matt left.

"What kind of question is that!" I asked in disbelief.

"Will, you see we know Amy liked him. But you don't act like you even care about him." Shane said.

"I like Matt. A lot actually, why is it a problem or something?" Wow! What a change.

"No! I was just checking." Shane said. I hit him hard in the shoulder then walked to my locker. They really had me going for a bit there. I reached my locker and realized I only had a few minutes until I had to be to first hour. I raced across the school to my first hour. I entered right as the bell rang. Daisy glanced at me as she marked me tardy.

"Take a seat Jerica." She said and I knew I wasn't going to get out of the tardy because she would be favoring me to the others and that wasn't fair. I walked to my seat and sat down. Matt slapped my leg. I looked at him and shook my head while rubbing my leg. He grabbed my hand. I smiled. Daisy started talking about the pros and cons of a survey. Class ended and Matt walked me halfway to my class before we ran into Jared. He sneered at me. I don't think Matt saw it but that's a good thing. I kissed Matt on the cheek.

"See you in a bit." He kissed my forehead and left, as I headed in my classroom. I entered my classroom when a friend of Amy's came up to me.

"I see Matt got over Amy easily." She casually said.

"What do you mean by that?" I said playing dumb.

"I heard he has the newest slut in the high school." She replied.

"Really where did you hear that from?" I was pissed.

"Um… I heard it from Amy's friend. What's his name? I know that he dated Matt's new girlfriend." She said.

"Amy and Jared are friends?" I asked.

"Yea, that's it. How did you know?" She looked at me.

"I am the slut." I replied knowing that Jared was in trouble…big trouble.

Second period ended and Matt was waiting outside my class.

"What's wrong?" He asked worried. I smiled.

"Nothing that I can't fix. So don't worry ok." I smiled at him. He leaned down and kissed me. We walked to my third hour. After this hour was lunch which would be nice. This class was Chemistry and it went by fast because the teacher was ill. The bell rang and I rushed out the door. Matt ran up behind me and put an arm around my waist.

"Where's the rush?" He whispered in my ear. I shrugged.

"No where I guess." I could feel him smile. "Why do you ask?"

"No particular reason." He said as he grabbed my hand and we walked towards the bench outside the school. I saw Jared talking with his girlfriend. I pulled away from Matt and headed towards Jared.
