Taking the top off my burger I started eating the pickles separately.
"You okay?". Alanna asked. I don't think she realised he was here.
"Yeah". I smiled. I knew he was staring at me I could feel it. "Are you coming to school tomorrow?".
"I'm no longer rooting for him". She glared at where he was sitting. "I'm sorry Leah". She had no reason to be sorry. I wasn't his girlfriend and I wasn't interested in becoming his girlfriend.
"It's not your fault he's a slag". I laughed. "Besides he never stood a chance". I winked. "Damn straight". She laughed "Let's take a selfie". Moving closer she took out her phone. "This ones for the gram". She smirked.
"There". She grinned. "Sexy, single and ready to mingle". I shook my head. "I love it". She squealed a little to loud for my liking. "You really are beautiful Leah".
Glancing at the photo I made a face. "Oh yeah messy hair and thick a*s glasses. That screams sexy". I grinned. Pushing my plate to the side I finished off my milkshake. The loudness and laughter coming from their table was starting to get on my nerves. "How about we get coffee and then we head home?". She asked slipping her phone into her pocket. That sounded good to me.
"Cappuccino for me please". Raking through my bag I took out my own phone. Lana had messaged me.
'Remember me bitch?! Are you lost? Did something happen to you?! I miss you :(!
She had also attached a photo of the two of us at the beach living our best life. I hadn't spoken with her since I got here. Yes I had only been here a few days but still she was my bestie.
'Sorry Lana! Trying to settle in and get used to being here. I miss you loads'
I needed to see if she would visit on the holidays. I didn't want to lose contact with her. We had been best friends since first grade.
"I just got them in takeaway cups. Let's get out of here before I throw up. Look at her, look how hard she's trying to get his attention. Desperate much?". "Alanna".
"What? She's a bitch everyone knows it".
Rolling my eyes I took my coffee from her. "Let's just go home".
...
"I can't believe he was with her tonight". As we pulled up outside my house I unclipped my seat belt. "He's a bloody idiot Leah".
"Why are you so annoyed by it? He can date who he likes we aren't a thing Alanna".
"I know". She groaned "But I want you to be".
"I'll see you tomorrow". Heading inside my gran and George were on the couch watching a movie. Taking off my jacket and my shoes I dropped my bag on the stairs.
"Did you have a good time honey?".
"I did. I'm going to get a drink and then head to bed. I'll see you in the morning". Falling onto my bed I scrolled my way through Facebook. I smiled when I seen that Alanna had uploaded the photo she took of us tonight. 'You awake?'
'No'
Where was Jessica? No I wasn't getting jealous he could do what he wanted. Who was I kidding he pissed me off by taking her out but again that was nothing to do with me.
Why was I letting him get inside my head? Groaning I grabbed my remote turning my tv on. Stripping off my clothes I pulled on my pjs and got into bed. Propping up my pillows I grabbed my phone as it started ringing. He didn't give up.
"I'm sleeping". Hearing him chuckle I smiled.
"You looked good tonight princess".
"What do you want Jake?".
"Just checking what time I should pick you up tomorrow".
Was he joking?
"You're kidding right?". He couldn't seriously think he was still taking me out. "I'm not going out with you".
"Yes you are. I'll pick you up at 7".
"I'm being serious Jake I'm not going. I'm not becoming you're new flavour of the month".
"What are you talking about?".
"You really think I'm going to let you take me on a date when you were out with Jessica tonight?".NôvelDrama.Org content.
"It wasn't a date Leah and she invited herself".
"Yeah I'm not buying it. Goodnight Jake". I hung the phone up before he could respond.
I showed him.
