Chapter 10

Shake It Off

        Chelsie was shocked when she saw me roaming around Noah's, or Richard's house. She was eyeing me, like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. By her looking, it made me feel conscious and nervous. Noah doesn't want the people to know that we're step-brothers. It didn't help the fact that Chelsie's the first one to know that, to know that I'm living together with Noah. According to people, Chelsie has a big mouth. As soon as she hear the news, she's going to spread it like she's one of the reporters of CNN. When she asked me what I was doing here, in Noah's house, I just shrugged and told her that Noah's going to answer that question of hers. After all, Chelsie wouldn't go here if she didn't have Noah's permission or whatsoever. It's bugging me.

        Not because Chelsie was here, in this house.

        But because I was pretty sure they were going to have a wild and intense sex. It made my heart swell, aching all of a sudden, like someone was tearing my heart apart with a sharp knife. It bothered me. Why was I feeling like this? Why was I feeling jealous? Was it because they were going to have sex and I wasn't? Was it because Noah was about to feel pleasure and I wasn't? For a moment, it shocked because I thought about this, I felt Chelsie was lucky enough because she's going to have sex. With Noah. And I wasn't. Why?

        It bothered me so much I couldn't move, Chelsie was long gone in front of me. It made my knees weak, ready to give up but fought against it. Noah's affecting me with his shits. It all started when I pulled that ice tube prank on him, when we were both knocked up, me underneath him whilst he was on top of me. It's confusing me. It's making my head ache.

        Groaning, I was acting like a silly jealous high school girl. I just needed a good thinking; a critical one, if I wanted to ease my mind. In every possible way, I would avoid Noah. What I'm feeling is not right. I just took a seat on the family couch, overthinking things too much. I wanted to talk to someone, to let out my feelings, but I thought no one. Kaila was busy because her and parents had a family dinner. Kevin couldn't be contacted. My friends were busy. My friends back home was, I was pretty sure about this, busy. Mom was with Richard, and I was sure they were exploring. Whatever that meant. Sighing in frustration, I mustered a courage to stand up and I was glad I did it without bouncing back on the couch. I decided to go to sleep. The maids were already in their homes, with their children and family.

        When I got in my room, I jumped on my bed and my body bounced, the bed creaking as my body continued to bounce. I just looked at the ceiling, as if it would talk to me, as if it would tell me the answers I wanted to hear. But then again, I don't know the answers I want to hear.

        My heart ached again, ready to explode at the feeling. Damn it. My eyes were starting to swell. I was about to cry. Why? But I fought it real hard, and so far, I was doing great. On the other side of my room, the next room beside mine, there were moans and pants. They were having sex. Noah and Chelsie were having sex. Chelsie was screaming Noah's name out of pleasure and it made me clench my fists, so hard that it was starting to hurt me too.

        They were screaming each other's name and it was bugging me. Every time I would hear their screams, which was a lot, my heart would shatter. Fuck. Why did I have to suffer? Why was I feeling like this? Much so, why was I fucking being jealous? Do I like Noah?

        Do I like Noah?

        That question lingered in my head, always popping, shining brightly. Why would I feel anything for Noah? He's an asshole and I'm not gay. But why was I getting jealous of their love making? I was asking the same questions, because I badly needed an answer for that.

        I clutched my head, blocking the sounds of their sex, shutting my eyes tightly, thinking this was only a nightmare. Every minute was torture. Even though I was blocking the sound, I was still hearing it. Eventually, I fell asleep.

        School is always not fun. I only go to school because it's a requirement. It's a need; a basic need, according to mom. Without it, we would be morons, according to her. Then why are there still morons lurking around the world?

        Kaila bumps my shoulder with hers and grins at me. I groan. Kevin emerges, walking beside me and I arch an eyebrow at him.

        "Um, why are you on junior's hallway?" I ask him as we keep walking. Kevin gives me a playful smile and Kaila smirks.

        "Of course, to be with you." Kaila says, flicking her long brown hair, that is on a pony tail, on me.

        "Kaila!" Kevin whines, groaning as he rolls his eyes at her.

        "Right, I forgot you guys are a thing now."

        "What the -" I protest, but she cuts me off.

        "Shut up, I meant," she leans down, looks to her left and right, and whispers, "Collins and Kevin are a thing now." My eyes widen as I look at Kevin. When he sees me looking, and Kaila whispering something to me, he blushes and tries to hide it by turning his back on us. Rude. I chuckle.

        "Nice. Congrats, KK." I say, smiling at him. But it's fun to tease him. I want to see his reaction when I ask the question that popped in my mind just a minute ago. "But what about me? You said you liked me, too." I pout. He turns his back to me and his eyes widen, then he scratches the back of his neck and averts his eyes. He's getting uncomfortable. He's about to open his mouth when Kaila and I bust out laughing. "Chill, KK. I was just messing with you!"

        "You!" He shouts, his face turning red from anger and embarrassment. We just chuckle at him as he lets out a growl at us. Damn. That growl is hella sexy. "I'm outta here. You guys are assholes." He starts to walk away.

        "Aw, KK! We're just fooling around!" I protest but he only gives us a bird. Kaila and I just burst out laughing again. Good thing the hallway is empty. We head to class.

        The rest of the subjects are boring.

+++

        Mom and Richard are already back at home. She has bought me some clothes when they were away for their trip. It's really good and it fits me perfectly. Richard bought me some too, but pants and shorts. I give them a thanks and head upstairs to take it in my room and put it inside my drawer. I get back downstairs.

        The front door is slammed by Noah. When he sees me, he quickly frowns. He was frowning, but when saw me, he frowned even more. I swear when Noah dies, the facial expression he's going to wear is a frown expression. His face is red from anger, like in any minute, he's ready to burst from it. Richard eyes Noah and motions for him to come. He just rolls his eyes and ignores him. Richard is about to stand up when Mom places her palm on Richard's arm. Richard smiles at her and seems to calm down. Mom has that effect to everyone.

        Now, what's bothering Noah Gerald Sky?

+++

        As I enter the school, the students murmur to each other. They are gossiping about a couple issue. Affair. Mike. Noah. Noah and Mike are having an affair? I scoff at that, but that thought makes me want to puke. It makes me want to punch Mike. God, what's happening with me?

        Kaila runs to me and envelopes me in a hug. "Have you heard of the biggest news? I swear it's the biggest news I have ever heard!" She squeals happily.

        "What?" I ask her, interested all of a sudden. Curiosity is nagging the back of my head. Plus, it makes the students go haywire as they talk about the issue. I suddenly feel like an idiot. Because it seems like I'm the only one who doesn't know about it.

        "Chelsie's cheating on Noah with Mike; he's best friend!" She states smugly, like it's the obvious thing in the world. Chelsie's cheating on Noah? What the fuck?

        "What?" I ask again. Kaila just nods at me.

        "They fought. Chelsie was pretty torn up." She says, rolling her eyes. "Chelsie has been a bitch to me, but I feel bad all of a sudden for her. I mean, the best friends fought each other for her. It's not good at all. Chelsie is here in this school. She still has the guts to talk to Noah! But Noah just snapped at her and Mike tried to talk to Noah, but Noah just punched him real hard on his stomach. Noah just stormed off. So... most likely, Chelsie and Noah are now done." She states. I look at her incredously. "What? Noah's pretty hot." I can't deny that. But it makes me want to drown her in the thick mud. But I fight against it since she's my best friend.

        Although the fact that Chelsie and Noah are broken up now, is enough to make me smile for the rest of the day.
