Chapter 74: Getting tired of her.
After Jones had gotten his uniform, he walked to me and hugged me.
"What's up babe," he said and I replied to him. "So, it's already happening, we already have uniforms," he said,
I chuckled,
"The uniform is not that bad, it's cute,"
"Hmm hmm, now we look like private school nerds,"
"Come on, it's really cute, and we would soon graduate so we won't wear it for so long. By the way, how was your grandpa's remembrance?"
"It was good. So are you still doing anything here, can we go home now?"
"Sure," I said and we headed home.
We got into Jones's car and he drove me home. The drive was nice but Jones was so quiet.
Jones's POV
If Michelle could say Angie is a good person, then I probably should go to hell for cheating on her because she's right. Angie is a good person and I just didn't want to hear it from anyone because my conscience would begin to judge me. I cheated on her with her friend, I shamed her on the school page, I lied to her that I was going for my grandpa's remembrance and even things I've done to her that I'm sure she won't like. The real truth is I don't have a reason as to why I love Angie, I only love her because she's a good person and she's really cute, now I hate to say this but I'm tired of her. I'm tired of seeing her face, I'm tired of dating her but I don't know how to tell her. The closer we get the more she loves me so if I want to break up with her, the best time is now so she won't love me more than this.
Jones sighed and looked at me,
"Angie, there is something really important I want to tell you,"
"Okay, go on," I said and smiled. When Jones saw how happy I was, I guess he just couldn't say what he wanted to say. He looked away and remained quiet. "Talk to me Jones, you can tell me anything," I said,
"Uh...I just wanted to tell you that...," He tried to talk but it wasn't easy for him.
"That what?" I asked,
"That you are going to look pretty in that uniform on Monday," he said.
I looked at him weirdly,
"Thanks ... But uh, is that what you wanted to tell me?"
"Yeah, I just wanted you to think it's something very important," he said and we both chuckled.
Maybe I shouldn't tell her, maybe I should just keep playing dirty until she eventually gets tired of me. If I can't break up with her, I can make her break up with me. So I guess I should give her a red flag. Jones said to himself.
While we were heading home, Jones wasn't talking to me or looking at me or even acting like I was in the car, he kept driving me home. I cleared my throat
"So... When is the Civil City competition going to start?" I asked politely
"Next week," he said
"Okay, I can smell a victory since you're the team captain now,"
"Thanks," he said. His replies were, I don't know quite straightforward. He didn't want to talk to me or even look at me or even act like I was in the car. Well, I thought he was upset or something so I stayed quiet until we both arrived at my house. When we got to my house, normally Jones would kiss me goodbye but he only stopped the car and waited for me to come down. Immediately after I got down, he drove off without saying goodbye to me.
I walked into my house and headed up to my room. I dropped my uniform on the bed and sat down as I began to think of why Jones acted weirdly. First, he said he wanted to tell me something then he said I should forget about it, and then he begin to give me a bad attitude. While I was thinking, my phone rang so I picked up my phone, it was a call from Mr Rollins, Betty's Dad. I picked up the call,
"Mr Rollins, Hi,"
"Hi Angie, how are you doing?"
"I'm good sir, thank you,"
"Okay, I called because ever since last month you've not checked up on your friend or even me,"
"Mr Rollins I'm so sorry, I've been busy with school, but I still have Betty in mind,"
"Okay, if you say so. I just wanted to ask because I expected you to at least call," he said,
"I'm so sorry Mr Rollins, but I check up on her, sometimes I go to the hospital,"
"Okay Angie, you take care of yourself okay?"
"Okay Mr Rollins, thanks for calling," I said.
After the call, I began to feel bad that he called me, now it would look like I'm a bad girl who doesn't care about her sick friend.
MONDAY MORNING...
After my alarm woke me up, I took a shower and got dressed for school, I wore my uniform and it looked good on me. I walked down for breakfast and when my parents saw me, they complimented me because the school uniform looked wonderful on me. After breakfast, I headed to school. When I arrived at school, I was amazed because the school uniform looked beautiful on all of us. I walked to class and when I got in, Victoria and the other girls complimented me because the uniform was fitted so it brought out my shape. Shortly after, Jones walked into the class and saw me. When he saw me, he looked at me continuously, then he walked to me and held my hand,
"Baby, you look beautiful," he said but I forced my hand off his hand,
"Leave me alone Jones, with all the attitude you gave me during the weekend you think I would appreciate your compliments,"
"Baby I'm sorry, I was so upset that day because during my grandma's remembrance, I watched my grandpa cry and it broke me, it hurts to see a man cry,"
"I thought you said it was your grandpa's remembrance," I said,
"No, I said it was my grandma's remembrance, my grandpa is still alive," he said.
When he said this, I could tell he was lying because I'm so sure he said it was his grandpa's remembrance he was going for.
