Jake teased me relentlessly for the next couple of days at school. Everywhere I went, he was there, flashing me his stupid boyish grin. He knocked the books out of my hands and kept walking one time. Ugh..how does he always figure out where I am?
All of his attention towards me made other girls jealous. I found them glaring at me from across the hall from time to time. Great...I just went from being invisible to the biggest rival of Jake's fangirls. Fuck my life.
I went to the restroom, and while I washed my hands, a girl approached me. She was tall and skinny with bright pink hair and a beautiful face. She was wearing a low-cut top that threatened the school code with straight-legged jeans. I recognized her as one of the seniors.
"Hey, I need to talk to you," she said.
Weird, she never tried to talk to me before. "Um...okay, what about?" I asked.
"I am Mayra. You are Jane Brown, right?" she asked.
"Yes," I said.
"Well Jane, I came here to tell you that you need to stay away from Jake," Mayra said and stared at me with cold, hard eyes.
Oh great, I made an enemy.
"It'd be my pleasure," I said.
She looked even angrier somehow. "Are you trying to fuck with me? Because I'm being completely serious. If you don't leave him alone, I'd be forced to pluck out the hair off of your head," she threatened me.
"That would be really hard. My hair is too thick," I said casually.
"Bitch," she said with gritted teeth. "I don't see why he is so obsessed with you. You aren't even pretty!" she exclaimed.
You and me both, sis.
"Look, Mayra, it's not what it looks like. I don't like him. In fact, I want him to leave me alone, but he wouldn't stop bothering me. Why don't you go pluck his hair out?" I suggested.
Mayra didn't look amused but softened her tone of voice. "Jake is not what you think he is. You probably love all this attention because he is good-looking and sexy, but he is not a good person. He will hurt you just like he did others."
"Were you not listening to me? I don't love his attention at all. I wish he would leave me alone," I said again.
"That's what they all say at first, then end up going to bed with him anyway," Mayra said.
Jeez....just how many girls did he seduce already?
"If you don't believe me go ask Emily Johnson. She is his latest conquest. I bet that's why he is after you. You are probably a virgin like her. Am I right? Jake LOVES virgins," Mayra chuckled.
Oh boy, I did declare my virginity to him once. What if this Mayra chick is on to something?
"What's it to you?" I asked.
"He did the same to me! He slept with me then ditched me. He said we could be friends, but that's not what I want. I love Jake. He is going to be mine eventually," Mayra said.
"Well, good luck with everything. If that's all, I'd like to go to my class now," I said irritably.
"Just remember what I told you. Steer clear of him, or you will regret it," Mayra warned for one last time and left.
I sighed. Being harassed by Jake wasn't enough, so now I have to deal with this pink-haired nightmare.
I was not going to let this whole bathroom situation slide. I decided to find Jake after school. I knew he hung out by that fence behind the building to smoke, so I stormed over there.
"Awe Janey! I didn't even have to chase you down this time. You came to find me. Did you miss me, baby?" Jake cooed and tried to kiss my cheek, but I pushed his face away.
"Save it, pretty boy. I came to ask you, why is the human reincarnation of my little pony threatening me over you?" I demanded answers.
"Huh?" Jake was utterly confused.
"That pink-haired vixen, what's her name...Moira?" I asked.
"Oh, you mean Mayra, she threatened you?" Jake asked.
"Yes, something about not to stand in line to become your conquest, or I lose my hair," I said. "Not that I care anyway. My hair sucks," I added.
"I love your hair, so wild and cute," Jake smirked and ruffled my hair.
"FOCUS! My point is I don't want to be jumped by one of your fangirls. I am not good at girl fights. It's not like I want to sleep with you anyway," I said.
"Are you sure about that? That's not what it seems like. The way your body responds when I touch you tells me it wants more from me," he smirked.
"As if! Just tell her to stay away from me. And you stay away from me too!" I cried.
"Not gonna happen. And what was it about conquest? Why do you keep saying that?" he asked and looked at me curiously.
"She told me about you sleeping with girls and ditching them. She also told me you like to take girls' virginity," I said.
"She told you all that, huh?" he smiled but didn't deny it. The jerk...
"What else did she tell you?" he asked.
"She told me about Emily Johnson and what you did to her," I said.
His eyes went dark all of a sudden. "There are two sides to every story," he said quietly.
"Mayra also told me that she was one of the girls you slept with and then friend-zoned her. And...she is in love with you," I said.
"I can't help it if girls fall for me. It's not my job to coddle every girl's heart," he shrugged.
"You arrogant, self preening asshole. And you wonder why I don't trust you," I shook my head in disappointment.
"You are different," he said.
"No, I am not. She is probably right. I bet I am suddenly alluring to you because I told you I was a virgin. Well, I am not going to let you take it!" I declared.
"Jesus Jane, stop believing everything people say to you. I am telling you I like you more than everyone else. I don't care if you are a virgin or not. How else can I prove it to you?" Jake said in a frustrated manner.
"Just...leave me alone and keep Mayra away from me too. Goodbye," I said and proceeded to make my dramatic exit.
"Janey..."
"I SAID GOODBYE TO YOU, SIR!" I yelled and ran off. Ain't nobody got time for Jake's bullfuckery.
