Chapter 26
Lean On Me
"Jeff?" Naomi asked turning into the choir room.
"Don't look at me," he turned to face the wall.
"You weren't at lunch, and you didn't come to fourth period."
"I am busy."
"Doing what?"
"CRYING!" he burst into tears again and nearly fell out of his chair.
"Aww, it is okay," she sat down next to him, "what happened?"
"Quinn broke up with me for Puck, and now I feel like I am going to die. I didn't deserve her, because she is hot and I am ugly."
"You're not ugly."
"YES I AM! There isn't a six pack under this shirt."
"You don't need that to be sexy."
"Obviously I do."
"Jeff, you are a great person."
"Do you know how many girlfriends I have had?"
Naomi just sat there.
"One, and that is Quinn. I like other girls, but I am too afraid that they would turn me down, and I don't look good on the outside. Everyone knows that that is all that matters."
"Jeff, please stop. You are not ugly, and any girl would be lucky to have you."
"Maybe, but no girl wants a guy that doesn't look good."
"Okay, I don't think that this is working," Naomi took out her phone and sent out a text message.
"Who did you just message?"
"You'll see."
Shortly after she said that Brittney and Alyssa stormed into the room.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Alyssa asked.
"Yeah you better get your ass up if you want to get Quinn back," Brittney added.
"I'll never get her back. She chose Puck over me."
"That's it Brittney you know what we have to do," Alyssa started.
"Time for us to sexyfy you, Jeff."
"I was just telling him he is okay the way he is," Naomi interjected.
"Girl you know that ain't true," Alyssa stated.
"Yeah, I mean look at him. Would you date that?" Brittney asked.
"You guys!"
"You have to be truthful. Now a days, and no one wants a guy that might be a little chubby and looks like a nerd," Brittney argued.
"You aren't really helping boost my self esteem right now."
"It's okay, we are going to the mall after school and you are going to be looking fly on Monday," Alyssa said grabbing Jeff's shoulder and forcing him up.
"You are going to make me go to class looking like this?" Jeff asked.
"Hell no," Alyssa began, "You are going to clean yourself up in the bathroom first."
"Okay."
"No," Brittney interrupted, "You gotta stop acting so shy and cute. Act tougher."
"A 'ight."
"I guess that is a little better, but tougher doesn't always mean like you're straight from the getto."
"Kay."
"Now get in there and fix yourself up."
Jeff went up to the sink and splashed water on his face and styled his hair up in the front similar to the way Taylor Lautner does in Twilight.
"See, you are getting better already," Alyssa complimented as they walked back to Physics.
"Thank you."
"Too cutesy," Brittney mumbled.
"What should I have said."
"Something like 'I know' or 'I've always looked good.'"
"That is so rude."
"But that is what it takes to be cool."
"Well, I guess."
"No, there is no guessing."
"Sorry."
"Just stop talking."
They walked back into class and the teacher didn't even look up.
"Jeff, where were you?" Ivan Chavez asked when they sat down.
"No where."
A look of shock came over Ivan's face.
"Is there something wrong with you?" Ivan Flores asked.
"No, I am better than great."
"You seem different," Bella commented.
"Yeah, I am better than I used to be."
"Well, good luck," Michelle added.
"I am going to get my girl friend back. Give me one week."
"Wait, you and Quinn broke up?"
"Yes, but not for long. She is going to regret it."
The bell rang and they went to sixth period, and after that Brittney, Alyssa, and Naomi met Jeff at his car and Jeff told both of the Ivans that he needed to go and that he talked Finn into taking them home.
"Well, here we go."
