Chapter Thirty: Jealousy


Clem parked her jeep. She looked at the school, watching the students make their way inside or catching up with each other before the bell. A sigh left through her nose.

She checked her reflection through the rear mirror. Fixing the bill of her favorite hat.

Beep! Beep!

She glanced at the side to see a low sporty car. The passenger window went down to reveal Louis in shades. His teeth gleaming.

Beeeppppppppp!

He pressed the horn, making a beat out of it. Clementine shook her head at how obnoxiously immature he could be in the morning. Too fucking early for this...

Why not join him?!

She played along. Honking her horn back at him. They played 'Old McDonald' and 'Mary had a Little Lamb'. Then finished it off going back and forth on each other.

"CAN YOU KIDS QUIT IT!" Ms. Lily screamed her tonsils out. Clementine and Louis ducked in their seats. Laughing like idiots.

When the coast was clear, they got out their car. Louis flicked her bill and she bumped his side.

"Do you think we woke up her demon?" Louis mad a smug look while adjusting his bag over his shoulder. Clem shook her head. He loves bothering Lily.

And talking in her class. Louis's mouth would run throughout the whole math class. And he's a natural. Anyone could be his victim in a conversation. Not caring if Lily staring right at him or teaching the class. The boy can talk.

In math class, Louis keeps talking in the back. Lily sent him to the office for interrupting the class. Then he did it again so she moved him to the front. Since he's a very social guy, he made new friends at the front row.

Lily got tired of his mouth and had it. She told him to teach the class for three days straight.

Forgetting that he's one of her excellent math nerd in class.

To her disappointment, he taught the class the next lesson with no problem. Lily threatened him that she'll personally cut his tongue off, if he keeps it up.

After all that, Louis sat at the back with Clem and the others. When Clem had her sad days, he started passing notes with her in that class.

"Definitely! I bet she'll keep us five classes worth of work. So beware." She smirked.

"Awesome! We'll be ahead of everyone then." Louis winked. Clem shook her head. He followed her to her locker.

"I made sure to get the white chocolate flavor pretzels this time." He wiggled his brows.

"Aw man. I was starting to like the chocolate one." She pursed her lips. The pretzels coated with milk chocolate started to become her favorite. She could finish the bag by herself. That's why he promised to gift her one huge bag, if she passes the mini math quizzes before Thanksgiving break. So far, she passed four of them.

"I bet." His smiled stretched like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. Clementine blushed. Realizing what he got from what she had said.

"You're sick." She squinted while laughing. Nudging the tall teen off to the side.

"Babe!" Someone called out. Clementine turned to see Gabriel coming her way. His cue to leave. Louis left her.

Clementine grabbed his wrist. Stopping him.

"Will you save me a seat?" She asked. Louis nodded his head. She let him go.

Gabriel, saw how Clementine touched another guy beside him. And the guy had to be Louis.

"What sup?" He leaned for a kiss, but Clem stopped him by turning away. He groaned.

"How long are you going to be mad at me?"

"I'm not... mad."

"Well, you look mad right now." He said. Clem massaged the creases on her forehead.

"I'm still hurt here." She rubbed her abdomen. Last night, they had a tickle battle at his place. He tickled her so much, she bloody her pants. She had to go home with his basketball shorts. The car ride was very...awkward.

"I said I was sorry-"

"Sorry don't fix everything, Gabriel. Especially my favorite jeans." She whispered. She tippy toed to peck his cheek. She left him there sulking next to the lockers.

She twirled and revealed a coy smile on her face. Gabriel rolled his eyes.

"Such a tease."

.

"You are not seducing him with strings." The red head taunted. The other red head squinted her eyes.

"It looks like shoe strings" She pointed at it.

Brody pursed her lips upwards as she snatched her phone from the twins. Violet, beside her girlfriend, snickered.

"You guys no help at all. I bet Ava would love it."

"I would like what?" Brody ran up to her. Showing her the lingerie on her phone. Ava licked her lips, digging the fit.

"I would so wear that." She winked at the blushing Sophie.

"Ew. Look how it barely hides anything! There's no surprise!" Minerva pointed at it.

"I agree. Order something... sexy sexy. Make him wonder what your hiding." Violet said as she wiggled her brows. Brody pursed her lips as if she's sucking on a sour head candy.

"Ugh. I just want to make this special for our second anniversary."

"Do you count 'getting back together' anniversary too." Ava asked. Brody gave her a look, Ava raised her hands in defense.

"No!... I want to forget all of that and continue where we left off...Marlon feels the same way." Brody said. She fiddled with the purple bunny that's attached to her messenger bag. Violet placed her hand on Brody shoulder, smiling at her.

"I'm glad things are working out for you guys. Marlon should had fucked Ben up for what he did." Violet said. Ava arched her brow.

"Ben-Ben? That football player Ben that Marlon had a bro crush on?!" Ava asked.

Brody ran her hand over her slick back burnt auburn hair. A sigh came out before opening to the girls. Brody only told Violet everything when she got back to Marlon. She didn't have anyone else to talk to and Violet seemed like she would keep her secret.

Since everything is about right. Brody didn't care to tell them.

"Yeah. Ben graduated last year. And I saw him celebrating with his friends at the teen club. Ben invited us. Marlon was supposed to come but he never did. Ben moved the party at his place to drink and...yeah. I waited for Marlon... Ben and his friends passed me cup after cup... next think I know it's the next morning. Saw Ben kissing up my naked body... with some other dudes dressing up..."

"Are you fucking serious?!" Ava shook Brody's shoulders. Violet pushed Ava away. Yet the tall brown girl stood her ground, glaring down at Brody.

"Shit! Such an asshole." Minerva sneered. Violet nodded, crossing her arms as she leaned on the lockers.

"I-I know...I was drunk and...I wasn't myself...That whole summer was a wreck and I...When Marlon found out..."

Ava hugged Brody.

"Why didn't you come to us? We cou-" Brody pulled back a bit. Tearing up as memories flooded her vision.

"Ya couldn't do anything! He had some videos... I didn't want none of you guys get caught up." Brody's voice trembled as she hugged Ava back. Ava rubbed her back. She pulled back to look at Brody.

"Don't be brave alone, Brody. Please. We all your friends. Even the guys would help us if things get heated." Ava smiled. Brody called down. Feeling better by all their smiles.

"Do Marlon know?!" Minerva asked.

"... I don't have the guts to tell him... Telling him about the videos would...he can't know." Deep down, Brody wanted to confront to Marlon about the video but he already dealing with his own problems.

"We understand, Brody. Right?" Sophie said. Everyone nodded.

"I love you guys... No more sappy memories... Now help me pick an outfit for him before the bell rings!" She changed the topic.

Ava stayed behind. Videos? Ava looked Brody up and down. Thinking to herself about what the hell her friend done with Ben and his boys during the summer.

.

.

The bell rung. Marlon flew out the door with speed. Searching for his peers in the hall.

He saw Minerva and Sophie together talking to their little brother, Tennessee. He didn't want to interfere them, so he moved along in the crowded halls.

As the tall blonde teen turned the corner, he caught Louis and Clementine. They were busy talking as well as they made their way to the staircase.

"Hey Marlon!" He turned to see Duck.

"Sup! Did you see the post on IG?!" Marlon pulled out his cell phone, showing Duck the party post. Duck read the post while smiling like a happy baby.

"Duuuuudddeee. A Halloween party! This gonna be lit!" Him and Marlon clapped hands then shoulder bumped.

"Word. El Muertos Lounge always through a great party on Halloween."

"Send that to everyone on the group chat!" Duck suggested. That second, Marlon sent the post to everyone.

The two guys rambled about costume ideas for the party. Everyone always do the most in the party. It's a must to wear a scariest, sexiest, cutest, gruesome, or realist costume at the party.

Nothing should go wrong.

Gabe notice how close she is with Knight lately. He didn't let it bother him as much at first when he warned Louis. Because kept his distance. But now...

Things are warming up between him and his girlfriend scene the fight with Mitch. Whenever Gabe come around, Louis would dip out, giving the couple privacy. Gabe thought it was weird that Clem would stare at Louis when he leaves and act surprise when he stands next to her. What Gabe didn't know was how close Louis is with Clem now.

However, he made it up for her like he promised her. After making up, he took her out on dates.

Two days before her pants accident, Gabe took her out to eat at a Columbian restaurant. He helped her out choosing a meal, translating it into English. She devoured the huge plate of lamb and rice. Loving every moment. They enjoyed the scenery, music, the waiters entertaining the customers, and the quality time together.

If Clem wasn't on her menstrual cycle, he would had given her something special after their date night. He thought about it a couple times but wanted it to be special and the right time.

Gabriel will wait for the right time for everything to flow naturally. He's in no rush.

Being her boyfriend is good enough. Right? He thought.

Yet, why is she close to him?

Soon as he turned the corner to go down the stairs, Louis and Clem stood at the corner of the staircase.

The two teens laughing at whatever was on Louis phone. That didn't trigger the Garcia boy. What had him running down the stairs is Louis's arm around her shoulder.

"What the fuck!?" Louis snapped as his body stumbled back. He glared at the person who pushed him off guard. Gabriel felt the blood boiled within his veins.

"Why are you close to my girl!? I told you don't go near her!" He growled. Clem cautiously went between them.

"Gabriel calm down." She told him.

"I should had known you were trying to come between us! You don't care about anyone else but yourself!" Gabe kept running his mouth.

Louis's face hardened. He met up to Gabe face to face. Clem pushing Louis back. His tall body didn't budge.

"Louis! Please don't!"

"What do you mean 'I don't fucking care'? You're the asshole who left her depress for days. All because of your fucking temper." Hearing Louis's voice drop and threatening terrified Clem. He always smiling or joking around. But serious Louis was on another level. Never imagined this Louis Knight could ever get angry.

Her legs started to shake. There was no way she can use karate on them. The last time she head locked someone, she got detention for it. Lee saw it as self-defense but Carley nagged about her being a girl and should do the right thing like telling the teacher.

But what high school teacher going to do in this situation!?

"Fuck you! And leave my girlfriend alone! Come on Cle-" She wouldn't budge. Louis gripped her other wrist. His dark eyes staring deadly at Gabriel's.

"She can be with me if she wants to. Don't decide for her." He sneered at Gabe.

"Let. Go." Gabe threatened. Louis narrowed his eyes.

"No. Bitch." Louis pressed him.

That's when everything went out of hand. Gabriel threw hands and Louis dodged every hit except for the last one on the shoulder. He staggered backwards which lead to bumping into the small girl behind him.

"CLEM!"

Clem foot lost balance by a couple of steps. Her small hands reached out but there was nothing to grab on to. The railing too far and her body already falling. Her eyes squeezed tightly as her life flash forward in seconds. Knowing what to expect.

Arms wrapped around her, shielding her from the impact of hundreds solid stairs. The two bodies tumbled down a flight of stairs.

Student gasped and shifted out the way quickly.

At the end of the stairs, Clem buried her face in that person's chest. Crying silently from a massive pain from the fall.

"Clem?! Clem! Clem! Everyone back the fuck up!" Louis yelled. He focused on the girl underneath him. Her hands over her red face.

"Clem, tell me what's wrong? Are you hurt any-" His leg flinched on hers and she screamed. Pushing him off her leg. He quickly moved to the side, trying his best to sit her up.

"Someone call the nurse!" Louis yelled. Some students ran down the hall.

The girl in his arms whimpered in agony. Breathing unevenly as she glanced at her twisted leg. Louis hugged her close. Apologizing and telling her everything going to be okay in her ear to calm her down. She bobbed her head rapidly. Sniffling as she pretended to listen to his soothing words but heard nothing but a high annoying pitch while tears streaming down her red face.

"Clementine-" He lost his voice when her golden eyes that he loves to look at, lost its brightness.

"Gabriel...I'm done...I'm so done with you..." She said between breathing large breathes. Her dull eyes stared at her left leg. Feeling pain below the knee.

"Clem-"

"You heard her!... Just... Just go Gabe." Louis retorted softly, nudged his head to the side.

Soon Ms. Martin stroll through the small crowd with a wheel chair, Louis carefully lifted Clem and sat her down on the chair. He helped push Clem to the infirmary.

Leaving Gabriel alone in his thoughts. All eyes on him.

He looked around feeling guilt weighing his shoulders. He ran off.

On the side, Mariana saw the whole thing. Witnessing how her brother is just like her father. She shook her head and followed behind other students.
