AN: Ok well to answer Felicia's question it was just some random people gossiping about Emma and Sean's break up. I had a little writers block so I'm sorry if that chapter sucked. I'm happy people like the story so far. The next chapter is a retake on Mercy Street. Also it was kind of fast moving this chapter and it's kinda unrealistic I guess so I'm sorry. Also on the characters I hope they aren't OOC. I hate stories when the characters are OOC especially Jay. So I hope this chapter is to your liking and again I am sorry about the spelling errors. This is in Jay's POV.
Chapter 3 The look
Jay POV
So GreenPeace and Cameron have broken up, strangely and not that I'd admit it to anyone EVER I was happy. I also wondered if she had broken up because of the party or something. But then again after seeing the vampire and Cameron get all touchy feely and crap she came to her senses. Cameron liked someone else. Why? I'm not sure cause Em- I mean GREENPEACE is hott. But I don't like her I was just looking for a good time at the party, but I have to ask myself why I was kinda pissed that she said 'no' to me.
I mean I was ME Jay Hogart, no one said 'no' to me. But I guess greenpeace was like another language, you know? English all your life then all of a sudden you have to take Spanish. Man what was that about? Let me explain again, other girls such as...Amy or Trish or someone are the English, you know, them all and have done...stuff with them. Then Emma, Spanish, walks into your life, all new and unknowing. There that makes more sense.
So back to my main problem, Emma Nelson. Who I don't like, who had just broken up with Cameron, my best friend, they were both taking it real well, actually. So I had to wonder how he'd take, me and nature girl making out at a party. Not well, he still cared about her, you could tell, he'd beat my ass probably, I could take it though.
"Yo! Earth to Jay, come in Jay? Are you gonna eat that?"
I looked over at Cameron, who was smashing a sandwich into his mouth.
"Yeah, I am!" I said almost yelling at him.
He looked at me strangely.
"Hey." I looked up to see greenpeace and Alex.
It was strange to think that they were friends. They hated each other last year, now they acted like they were friends all along. I guess it had something to do with greenpeace's and the slut's fallout, and greenpeace becoming less uptight. Maybe that's how I ended up making out with her, but who knows in this overly dramatic school.
As I was thinking all of this I realized I'd been staring at Emma the whole time.
She smiled a little over at me and I ducked my head, this whole mushy gushy crap was annoying, so I glared at her.
"Hey greenpeace, shouldn't you be not here since you and Cameron broke up."
she glared at me, her eyes lighting up with anger, that angry little spark that always makes me want her more. Not that I wanted her, man, this was annoying, she was annoying.
"No Jay I am still friends with Ellie, and Alex, sadly they hang out with a guy like you." she smiled sweetly at me and dropped her lunch tray down, then sat down on the bench too.
Alex looked back and forth smirking she could tell, I guess, that this would be an interesting lunch period. "So...how's everyone's day going?" she asked sweetly.
I rolled my eyes, Alex loved to sugarcoat things.
"Well I was talking to Paige today and she said she wanted to start a campaign against Rick." Emma said turning to Alex.
"Since when do you and Paige talk?" Ellie asked.
"Well in the bathroom she was going on and on about how much she hated Rick and I proposed an idea of a campaign for women who are being abused and----"
"Ms. Save the World is at it again. You shouldn't provoke the freak he'll just go after you, and beat you or something."
she looked at me glaring, maybe cause I interrupted her. "Like you'd care if he beat me Jay." she snarled at me.
I rolled my eyes. Maybe I did care, about if he beat her.
"So back to what I was saying before, I have to go help Paige, so I'll be over more like 6:30- ish."
Greepeace said finishing her conversation with Alex. Alex nodded and picked at her food. I knew that look, Alex was mad cause Emma kind of blew her off to hang with Paige. Not that I could blame her, if a girl did that to me I'd be pissed too.
"Hey Alex want to go to the Dot with me after school?" I asked, she looked over at me and shrugged, "Sure why not."
the bell rang having us go out in our different directions. I headed for history, under the watchful eye of Ms. Vice President. Ever since Alex went into student council she's been after me to make sure I go to class, we weren't together but we were still friends, and she got PISSED if I didn't go to class.
I sat through the rest of the day bored out of my mind and only saw Emma a few times, not that I cared that I saw her, she hated me and I hated her. That was all, there was nothing really to the relationship besides me being a little over joyed that she and Cameron had broken up. I couldn't and wouldn't like her, not now and not ever.
I drove me and Alex over to the dot and we sat down for a little afternoon snack. Ironically Emma and Paige came in talking in whispers, no doubt about the campaign.
I wasn't stupid I saw what was going on at school. People were being really mean to the freak and the teachers weren't really doing anything about it. Mr Radditch was getting mad, but not mad enough to punish everyone, which I doubt he would.
To day was just a weird day. I knew Emma could do a fast campaign, but the same day she was talking about it? Man she was good, she fought for everything she was like the little stubborn Princess who I...had a slight problem with. I don't know if it was, liking her, but even if I did like her, she'd never go out with me.
Alex and me glanced over at them, and Emma waved slightly. Paige and her sat down at a table a few away from ours and started talking with Spinner, Jimmy, basically Paige's little popular crew.
I went back to talking to Alex about cars. Nothing really spectacular happened till their table became all quiet. Me and Alex glanced over there and saw that Emma had tripped Rick with her foot. Rick got up and proceeded to go over to Emma, a strange look in his eye.
I don't know what came over me but I got up and grabbed him. "That's it freak it's on."
I pushed him outside behind the restaurant hearing Emma scream after me the entire time.
I took his glasses off and put them on, man he had bad vision "Number 1 violence is not the answer."
he looked at me with wide eyes.
"Number 2, no one cares." I punched him in his stomach as Emma screamed for me to stop, before she could come in-between us I took his glasses and stomped on them.
"What is your problem?" Emma asked coming in-between me and the freak.
She looked really pissed I knew this wasn't how I was suppose to act around the girl I liked. Woaw woaw woaw the girl I liked? Hell I hated her, so why'd I feel like my insides were dancing around when she looked at me like that? And whyd I feel SLIGHTLY bad I did that?
"My problem is the freak." I answered growling at Rick.
I looked behind her shoulder at him, he was looking at Emma as though she had just pulled him up off a cliff, as if she'd just saved his life. Maybe she did, I mean, I could do some damage.
I rolled my eyes at her, she was so annoying sometimes. I was getting pissed again, maybe it wasn't just her this time though, maybe it was Rick, looking at her that way.
"Just leave him alone Jay." she muttered quietly looking into my eyes.
I back off smirking. "Whatever, Alex if you want a ride home I'm leaving." I didn't wait for her answer and it didn't matter anyways cause she stayed with Emma.
I drove as fast and far away from the Dot as I could. That look Emma had given me was starting to freak me out, cause if she had asked that in the same tone of voice, and the same look, and if I wasn't in that mood, I might've done just what she asked. That was the thing that scared me the most out of the whole day. Not Rick almost hurting Emma, Not Emma never seeing the real me, and not Alex choosing Emma over me. It was the thing that I would do anything if she just through that look my way. The please please look, the vulnerability. I think that was the day that I had finally given in, I had a minor crush on Emma Nelson.
So God help me.
(A/N: I haven't seen Mercy Street in awhile so i can't really remember what happened, I mean there conversations. I hope you like it and I thank each reviewer that has reviewed me. Hope this is enough for ya.)
