Monday:
JANE'S POV:

It was almost 12 p.m when everyone from my school, mostly the girls, practically started going insane like screaming and shouting and running all around the hallway, well... you could guess why... the bus with the lacrosse team from Fairview High School from Pennsylvania had arrived and with it, Walker Scobell was there too. It was quite a pleased sight for my eyes to see literally all the girls acting like wild animals, some I knew and were in my class some I didn't even know were at our school until I saw how they interfered into the immense quarrel between a bunch of group of girls, I really hoped they won't jump on one another and rip off their hair or something worse. I was carefully passing by the hundreds of girls from the hallway, trying to not be hit or something bad, when Emma came right into my face the moment I opened the door to the front yard from school where the bus had already stopped, Mrs Gresley and the principal was the talking with a man which I assumed it was the couch from Fairview, they were probably scheduling the program from this week while boys and girls were walking out of the us with their bags on their back.

"You do know that you're looking rather to intense towards the bus, don't you?" Emma chuckled whispering into my face, I rolled my eyes glaring at, the idea was that I was searching for Walker because I had to greet him and warn him about the thousands of girls waiting in the hallway.

"I am not" I muttered at Emma angrily before I heard someone shout my name and as I looked back at the bus, I noticed Walker heading towards us with a bright smile on his face.

"Hey, jeans" Walker said before pulling me into a tight hug, if I was not heavily crushing over him in those moments I would have looked perfectly normal, but I think I was redder than a tomato because I could feel the heat in my raising up to my cheeks and I also noticed Emma giggled under her breath beside us which was not really helpful.

"Hi... so... how was the road..?" I wanted to hit myself, or bury deep into the ground, anything just to disappear from there because I was feeling so awkwardly embarrassed.

"Long and tiring... but I'm here finally" Walker breathed taking a glance back at the bus, where some of his teammates were being instructed by the coach and our principal. A boy called out for his name because the group was heading towards the sports hall and field in order to be shown where the match was going to be played.

"Uhm... gotta go, see you around, jeans" Walker grinned down at me before joining his group. I sighed relieved that he had not noticed my tomato face and start creating conclusions about my awkwardness.

"Babe... you are so down for him" Emma giggled while watching from the distance the Fairview lacrosse team entering the sports hall.
"And I'm so bad at hiding it. I mean... WHY DID HE HAVE TO HUG ME?!" I exclaimed venting all my irritation on Emma unwillingly wanting to do so, but I was tired of always ending up the one head over heels for someone and not getting to be with that person, I've already been through something similar and it sucked badly.

"Cause he likes you" Emma spoke emphasizing the word "like" probably for making me more angry because I was sure Walker didn't like me that way, sure he would play around and tease mostly because we play as love interests in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, but he for real would never see me as more than jeans.

"I don't think so, Em... I don't know... anyway gotta head up to class" I hugged Emma who wrapped her arms protectively around my neck and gave me a kiss on the top of my head, she was always acting like a big sister towards me whenever I was feeling down. I was holding back my tears that began to form in my eyes, I had no idea why I was on the edge of crying but something in my chest hurt at the mere thought of Walker and me being in our friendship state forever, and I hated that it hurt.

*****

I was wandering through the library, I had a free period so I decided to go search for books that would help me with my history project about the First World War that was kind of important for my grades. Don't get me wrong, I am not such a nerd but I don't like having bad grades or anything, because I want to know for myself that I'm always prepared for school and doing my best.

"So, are you and Walker together?" I could have sworn on everything that I had no expected Amanda to be there in the library, but she unfortunately was and startled me with her sudden appearance. She was not alone of course, always accompanied by her two minions.

"That is none of your business" I simply uttered at her while taking down a book from the third shelf, it was a pretty heavy one so I had to use all my strength to hold it.

Amanda inhaled sharply before forcing an irritated smile as she told me "I know you two are not together. I meant to see your reaction only. Like come on Janet! Who could look or want you?!" she continued as her two friends start laughing at me, I choked back any words that wanted to escape my mouth mainly as insults because I wished to show respect not like other certain people.

"What's your problem anyway? Don't you have a boyfriend? Mike?" I asked without knowing that I just hit a nerve, a bad one because Amanda's face turned red and her furrowed as she came closer to me practically standing nose to nose with me.

"I will ruin you, Jane. Just like you did with me. I had Mike to annoy you and now I'm going to have Walker. No boy will ever love you and I will make sure of it" she said through gritted teeth before all three of them walked out of the library and I understood why she got so angry, they had broken up and she decided to vent her fury at me, wonderful... but for me those words hurt right to the bone. 

I bit back my lower lip to try and hide the sobs that meant to escape my mouth, I was so weak and naive, always being hurt and bullied by people that don't deserve my mere attention but I was too gullible for high school life. The mere thought of Walker getting together with some other girl, not really Amanda because she had no chance, felt like someone was striking me to the heart, it made me sick and launched my salty tears to flow down my cheeks, was it possible for me and him to ever be something...?
