Chapter 19

Jason's pov : "Jay! Are you fooling us? I bet you like her," someone yelled from behind. And I knew it was George, my buddy, and for now, he is a troublemaker. We all turned to see him, and unfortunately, all of us turned at the same time which created a great entry scene like in movies. And I knew very well that Theo is gonna comment on this. Theo came near to us, "wow! You guys seem like a gang, what a turn! Jay, I guess, you have changed the group, right?" He gave me a death glare. I know my boys better than the theory of gravity. I faced Lia to ask the girls to leave for the class because I need to clear this mess. Before I could utter something, Fiona rolled her eyes and shouted, "it's better if he changes friends but he won't. So, stay assured that he is still friends with the playboys like you," she began the war without any weapons. George went closer to her ears and mumbled, "do you like any of us?" And he screamed, "if not then, why don't you mind your fucking own business? Nobody asked you to judge us," he moved a step back. Lia was about to say something but Fiona caught her hand still staring into George's eyes. Fiona and George were gazing at each other with disgusted expressions. I just thanked God that she stopped Lia from saying or doing anything. I was not sure what I'd do if there was a fight between Lia and my friends. Whom will I protect? Fiona broke the glare and crossed her arms, "Like? And you? Not even then when you are the only person on the earth, I would like to die single," she smirked. I don't know how long the war will continue but I learned one thing that whenever Fiona and George fight like kids, no one interrupts them because it's like enjoying the free show. Alex and Theo were just squeezing their chuckles, we knew in the end, Fiona will slap George and walk away from him. And poor George will just stare in her direction for a minute, I wonder why haven't they killed each other yet? "Trust me, I'll make you fall for my body," he swiped his hand in the hair, "you'll leave everything for me, just give me the time of your one night," he smirked. We were about to laugh because now, the time was for a slap but I quickly caught Lia's hand when I realized that this time, Fiona is not alone, Lia is also there. And for our wonder, Fiona didn't slap him, she just exhaled, "I don't have time to waste on a bastard, let's go, Lia! He just looks for hookups, he'll continue his haunting, we need to attend our classes," she never leaves any chance to taunt him for being a playboy. We all have always dreamed of seeing Fiona and George together, they'll make a great pair. They fight like indeed a couple, and also help each other as friends. Last time, when George forgot to do his assignment, she helped him to complete the assignment, and when Fiona couldn't attend the class, he went to her place to give my notes to her. I just got relief for the time being, as everyone has forgotten about Lia and me, and I got some time to think about her and my feelings more. I'm not sure yet if she is the one or not. Theo came closer, "what's going on, dude? I guess, we are gonna enjoy one more couple's free show," he murmured in my ear with a plain face. I looked at him, and we laughed, "no, never! We are mature enough to behave like this," I regretted as soon as I realized that Theo succeeded in spewing the truth from me. He smirked and I grimaced, Alex patted George's shoulder, "bro, my condolence with you!" Alex pressed his lips and made an awful face. George cleared his throat, "let's go to the class, we are getting late, aren't we?" He never reacts whenever any of us tease him about Fiona, he would just try to divert the topic or ignore it like he didn't hear. My sixth sense was saying that George and Fiona are made for each other, and one day, they'll be a perfect couple and have a happily ever after. And our playboy will become a one-woman man. However, we headed to the class. After attending all the lectures, we were knackered. All we wanted was a delicious lunch and hangout. I suggested going to the school's cafeteria and everyone approved my suggestion. Alex ordered pizza and cold drinks, "the order has been given. Now, it's time to…" he narrowed his eyes and looked at Theo and George. After a second, they were gawking at me, "so?" They said in unison. "So?" I raised my eyebrow as if I didn't know what they were asking. Alex gritted his teeth, "do you guys remember the first rule of our friendship?" He looked at everybody else, not at me. "No one will hide anything from anyone," George paused and looked at me, "if my memory is good," he demanded the answer from me. Well, I don't need to hide anything, it's just that I'm not sure about my feelings. But now, I have to tell them everything since the start, I can't hide this longer anymore. "Look, guys! It's a long and exhausting story but I'll try to explain in short, okay?" Everyone nodded, and I started with how we met on Barbie's birthday on the bus and ended with how we became project partners. George scowled, "that's why the day when she came into our class, I felt that I've seen her somewhere. She was the girl whom you said I LOVE YOU on Barbie's birthday, right?" He exclaimed with delight like he was a genius who had a sharp memory. I put my hands on the head and looked downwards, Theo patted my arms and whispered, "it's fine, bro! We are with you, we'll help you to get your first love." Alex got no chill, "and that's why yesterday you denied hanging out with us and went on the date," he raised his one brow and laid one hand on his chin. Theo never misses the fun, "and you guys remember we decided that we'll choose a boy as our project partners just because he didn't want to talk to any girl," he looked to George and Alex for support. Everyone stared at me, "yes! We missed the chance of flirting with junior girls," Alex looked at George and smirked, "but now, we'll grab that chance." "Are you guys done with being geniuses and detectives? Your memory is so fucking good, okay? Now, can you help me with your bloody mind, what is this feeling and all?" I got irritated by their questions and blasted out the anger. George grabbed the jar of water from the table and threw it at me, "first of all, you hide the things from us, and now, you fucker expect us to help you?" Alex and Theo were not laughing at me. Of course, it was a funny scene for them but their anger took over their giggling. Theo had a plain face with no expressions, which is his almost permanent face. Alex was giving me bullet shots with his narrowed eyes. I made a puppy face, "guys, sorry! I wasn't sure if these feelings were real or not, I was confused as hell, and I still am," I said while cleaning my wet face and clothes. "Jerk! You look still sexy in your wet clothes," Alex declared and everyone started cracking up. These are my buddies, they can't be mad at me, they understand me better. Finally, the load from my mind was off and I took a breath of relief. It's hot nowadays, so I was not minding my wet clothes. "You look so damn hot! Take off your shirt, sexy man!" A girl commented on me. I didn't bother to see who it was because I don't care who the bitch was, "Not interested! Go to somebody else," I scowled. The girl came in front of my eyes and started walking closer to me, she touched my neck, "I like the wetness," she muttered and winked at me, she was one of those B3 girls who are popular in school but I don't know their names. I grasped her chin with one finger and brought her face closer to me, "don't you understand the meaning of not interested? Fuck off! Don't show me your filthy face again," I bawled and pushed her face aside with my least force. The girl raised her hand to slap me but the poor girl didn't know I was a champion at handling these situations because I've been facing these kinda girls for a long time. I held her hand and threw a glance at Theo, the further duty should be fulfilled by him. He stood up and rolled his eyes, "look, this guy is not interested in you. Is this clear to you or…?" She already left after listening to his half-sentence, so he sat down. The waiter brought pizzas, and we were ready to attack our lunch but I saw Lia and Fiona coming towards me.
