Chapter 75 : Holes in our relationship

After we heard the final bell, everyone headed out of the class. I looked at Jones and I saw him packing his books. I stood up and walked to his table, when I got there I gave him a hard look,

"Is there something you aren't telling me?" I asked,

Jones smiled and put the last book inside his bag, then he stood up and looked at me,
"No, why did you ask?"

"Because on Saturday you told me you wanted to tell me something and then all of a sudden you began to give me an attitude,"

"Come on I already told you why I was upset," he said and headed out of the class and I followed him,

"Wait, you didn't tell me the truth, you said you were going for your grandpa's memorial but this morning you said it was your grandma's memorial. Are you lying to me?"

"Noooo, it's just, I'm not in the mood to talk about it okay," he said raising his voice a little. I remained quiet for a few seconds,

"What's wrong with you? Youre acting all weird, this morning you saw me and you were happy to see me and now you raised your voice at me. Are you tired of me?"

"No," Jones replied quickly, "No I'm not, I'm just going through a lot right now," he said,

"Then talk to me, I'm your girlfriend,"

"Maybe later we could talk about it, I have to go to the field, the football competition is less than a week and everyone is waiting for me, I'll see you later," he said and walked out on me.

Honestly, I've never seen Jones act in such a manner before, he's acting like he's tired of me. After he left me in the hallway, I slowly headed to my locker and dropped some books inside, then I headed home.

When I arrived home, I began to think about how Jones acted in school, and I became a little worried that he might be tired of me. I'm an overthinker and that made me start thinking otherwise. What if he's tired of me? What if he has another girl? What if he doesn't love me anymore?

I removed my uniform and took a shower, then I got dressed and sat on my bed, I picked up my phone and entered my whats app messenger, then different messages began to get in, I was expecting to receive a text from Jones but after all the messages got in, I realised he didn't text me and worse of all, he was online.

Hey babe, are you done training? I texted and dropped my phone, then I waited patiently for his reply. After a few seconds, I received a notification, then I quickly yanked my phone and looked at it but it wasn't him. I dropped my phone and kept waiting for his reply but I still didn't get any reply. After 10 minutes, I checked and he had already gone offline a minute ago. I sighed and replied to other texts, while I was replying, I checked if he was online and he was. I then texted him again,

Hi, are you still there?

When I sent him this, he replied after a minute.

Yeah,

He replied to the text where I asked if he was done with training. I read the text but didn't reply because then I knew something was up.

The next day, when I woke up in the morning I was in a hurry to go to school so I would find out why Jones is giving me such a bad attitude. I took a shower and got dressed in my uniform then I headed out without eating breakfast. When I got to school, luckily he was in school. I found him at his locker so I walked to him and gave him a hard look.

"Oh, hi Angie," he said

"Oh please Jones, keep your greeting to yourself,"

"What did I do?" he asked curiously,

"You give me a bad attitude online and you act nice when you see me?"

"I don't understand, what are you talking about?"

"Jones, do you still love me?"

"Of course I do," he said and held my shoulders politely, "I love you so much and I hate the fact that youre asking like I don't," he said,

"Are you telling me the truth?"

"Of course I am, why would you even think I don't love you, I love you so much, Angie,"

"Then why weren't you replying to me on time yesterday?" I asked,

"Because I was training before you left school I told you I was going to the school field to train so when I got there, I came online and dropped my phone without leaving my whats app," he said,

Well, that made sense to me, at least things like that happen so I believed him, shortly after, the bell rang for the first period.

After school, I and Victoria were heading home together until Victoria ruined my mood with the bitter truth. I told her all that's been happening between me and Jones and she said he doesn't love me anymore. I asked why she said so and she asked if I saw what he posted on his status yesterday afternoon, I pulled up my phone and checked his status but nothing was there,

"You see, he even blocked you from viewing his status," Victoria said and pulled out her phone, then she showed me a write-up on Jones's status which said,

'single life is the best

When I saw this, the fact that he posted the write-up on his status wasn't the only thing bothering me, what bothered me the most was the fact that he blocked me from viewing his status.
I felt so devastated, scared and heartbroken. I still love Jones and it won't be that easy to get him off my mind if he breaks up with me because he's my first boyfriend and with all, I've gone through because of him, I would be the loser if we break up.
