There was only one text from Aubrey this morning, which made concerned.

Aubrey: I won't be at school today. Gonna take a sick day. Have fun at school!

Something was wrong. She didn't even text me what if be wearing but then again, I guess it didn't matter since she wouldn't be walking around with me in school today, but she used to never miss a day of school just in case some drama would happen and she would miss it. Wither she's dying or....shit. She must be pissed.

Did she really think that Jasper and I...how could she think that? I don't have feelings for the guy and I haven't even lost my virginity yet, so there is no way I would ever do anything like that with him. I'm saving myself for someone that I trust, and Jasper isn't that trustworthy neither am I interested in him.

I decided to pick out my own clothes: my usual khaki pants and a white collard shirt. After that, I sit back down on my bed and pick up my phone to call Harley to see if she could take me to school.

" Hello?" Harley answers.

" Hey, Harley! You know how you are just an amazing baker and I just adore you and you're the most amazing person-"

" What do you want?" She laughs.

" Aubrey might be mad at me for 'dating' her brother."

I can her Harley sigh, " Fine. I'll be there in fifteen minutes, " she says.

" Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

" No problem, but you owe me."

" I think I have already done so."

I press the phone up against my ear and hold it up with my shoulder as begin to put on my shoes while sitting on my bedroom floor.

"What do you mean?" She asks.

" I saw you staring at Eli while we were at work."

" How could you not? He's literally a Greek God."

" I've decided to keep him."

" You were going to even if I didn't like him."

" Yeah true but I know you secretly loved that Jasper went behind my back and hired him."

Harley pauses for a moment then continues, " I'm getting in the car. See you in a bit."

I chuckle at her changing the subject, pulling my shoe strings into a tight bow and stand up, " Alright see you in a bit."

" See you!"

••••

Harley and I walk into school, but something was wrong. They were looking at us, like more than people would normally when I am walking the halls with Aubrey.

Harley leans closer to me, " Why are they staring at you?" She whispers to me.

" I'm not sure, " is all I say.

" You don't think they know, do you?"

A sophomore runs up to me her eyes all red and swollen. She had blonde hair that went down to her shoulders but she didn't seem to be a popular person by the way she shyly held herself and looked at me.

" I-is it true?" She asks and sniffles, "Are you and Jasper Grey really dating?"

Oh no. She's not crying because of us is she? Does she have feelings or Jasper? should I tell her the truth?

" It's complicated, " is all I say, looking away from her, the guilt biting at my heart.

The girl's eyes tear up, " So it is true? You are dating Jasper?"

" Yeah, we are. I'm sorry," is all I could get out, and then the girl runs away towards the bathroom.

God, why did I agree to this?

I sigh and Harley pats my shoulder. I feel so awful, how does Aubrey do stuff like this all the time? I wouldn't be to deal with it.

" You know she's not going to be the only person to do that, right?"

" Really?"

" Yeah, have you never read any romance books before. There's always those two beautiful popular people who get together and all the fangirls go bonkers because they either like the guy."

I chuckle and continue walking, " I think you've been watching too many movies."

Harley shrugs and follows me as we make our way to my locker. We still have a few minutes before class starts, thankfully, to gather our things and find Jasper.

But then when we got to my locker, we found out that we wouldn't have to. Jasper was already there, with a bouquet of flowers.

" Hey, babe. I got you some flowers. Aren't daises your favorite? Also, hi Harley," He says with a smirk.

" Hey Jasper, " Harley answers back.

" My Grandma is allergic, " I say unamused.

" Alright then, " he says, then puts them in the trash across the hallway which for some reason makes me feel even worse.

" I could've put them in the bakery, you know? You didn't have to throw them away."

Jasper's face turns red, " Oh. Right. Sorry."

I give a nervous laugh, " Its fine. But there is one thing I need to talk to you about since your here."

" What's up?"

I walk closer to Jasper and slap him on the head and he then yelps, " Why didn't you tell me that when we would start to pretend to date that I would have to break girls' hearts for you!"

" Ow! Jesus Woman! You didn't have to hit me so hard, " he says rubbing the spot where I hit him and giving me a glare, " Also, I wasn't expecting you to break people's hearts for me. Did you ever stop to think that the girl that ran off crying might've liked you?"

" How did you-"

" Just a guess. Anyways, hun, I have good news for Harley and you."

Harley's face lights up and steps forward, " Is it food? Money? What about-"

" Hey everyone!" I hear a familiar voice say behind us.

I see Jasper smile, then Harley and I turn around to see the smiling brown-headed boy waving while walking over to us.

" Eli! You're back in school!" Harley says, running up and giving him a hug which takes Eli's surprise, his face turning red.

" H-hi!" Eli says looking down at Harley even though she's not that short.

Harley looks up and smiles at him, not at all embarrassed or phased for hugging him while you could already see the sweat on Eli's forehead.

Awe, teenage love. It's so awkward.

Jasper puts an arm around me and leads down making people in the hallway's heads turn, " Want me to take you to class?"

I smirk, knowing that he was silently laughing at how foolish this was just as I was, " Sure love, " I tease.

Jasper looks at me then quickly looks away and coughs- or at least I think it was a cough- and then turns back running his free hand through his hair.

" Alright then. Let's go."

" Are we going to leave them alone?" I ask Jasper.

Jasper smiles and gives a chuckle, " I think they'll be fine."

" Alright. Then let's go, and then when we go to lunch, you get to pay."

" Hold on a sec-"

" Hurry or we'll be late!"

" But Chlo-"

" Thanks!" I exclaim and drag him to class.
