I HATE JASON
” Yeah, I’m back. I’m so happy to see my boyfriend again,” she said, planting a kiss on his cheek.
” Actually the thing is…” Jason started, still looking nervous. He’s shocked by her girlfriend’s entry. Maybe he doesn’t want her here where I’m standing. Why the hell he kissed me while having a girlfriend? All I ever thought about his is wrong. He’s not a good guy at all. I want to leave this place now. My angry is going beyond the limit. I fucking hate Jason. I don’t know why I’m getting angry over this. I know it’s because of that kiss. But he’s not my boyfriend. He’s just a friend. Why didn’t I get that?
” I know Fred. Who is she?” that girl asked Jason, pointing her hands at me and Pearl.
” She’s my… she’s Emily and her friend Pearl,” Jason said with a lot of hesitation. He didn’t even meet my eyes.
” She’s Crystal,” he introduced her to me. He got to be fucking kidding me. Who the fuck want to know her name?
” Bye, Pearl. I will see you tomorrow,” I told Pearl and turned without meeting Jason’s eyes. He must have known why I’m leaving all of a sudden because I heard him call my name.
” Emily,” I didn’t look back. Why should I? I’m just a time pass for him. He will probably forget me as his girlfriend back here. I wouldn’t have got angry if he never kissed me. If he tried to talk with me again, I promise that I won’t listen to any reasons. There can’t be any valid reasons for this situation.
That’s when I spotted Ryder at the entrance with his bike. He’s already watching me but turned when I looked at him. Then it strikes me, these two boys really get into my mind since I came here. Now, it’s time to think about it. I can’t think of Jason right now. I’m glad Ryder doesn’t do anything like this. I once again remembered the minute when he said that he likes me. I like him back. Jason is just my friend. That’s it. Am I right?
I walked straight towards Ryder and without my knowledge, I threw my arms over his shoulder.
” Hey, you, will you take me home?” I asked with a smile on my face. I should say that he’s surprised by my sudden approach.
” Of course, sweetheart. It seems like you are in a good mood,” he said, holding his hands on either side of my wrist. He’s guess is wrong. I was angry to the core I minute ago. But Iam not after looking into his eyes. The person I like the most must be Ryder. He lightens up my mood every time I see him. I wish our feelings for each other grows stronger every single day.
” Yeah, I’m in a good mood. So, will you take me home?” I asked once again without caring who’s watching us in public.
” I can rather take you to my house. Are you coming?” he asked with an expectation. I never visited his house than giving pie cake to his brother. Maybe it’s a good idea. In reply, I nodded my head. In response, he leaned forward to plant a small kiss on my lips. I didn’t stop him. Who knows who’s watching us?
” Hey, sweetheart, do you know why the nerd is glaring at us?” Ryder asked me as his eyes watched someone behind me. Everyone calls me a nerd. But Ryder doesn’t. He’s talking about Jason. I better not look back.
” I don’t know. He got reunited with his girlfriend. That’s all I know.” I replied casually.
” Yeah, I can see that. They are kissing every five minutes. Anyways, who cares about them? Can we go?” Ryder said, starting the engine. I got behind him and wrapped my hands around him. The first time, I was too afraid to hold onto him. The third time isn’t the same.
“So, can I take you to any other place after visiting my home? Don’t say you have homework to do,” he asked. I grinned and replied.
” No, I won’t. I will do my homework later. I’m coming with you. But where are we going after visiting your house?”
” Um… It’s not something special. But I know you never visited it. I’m taking you to the bar,” did I heard him right? I’m not going to any bar. My mom won’t allow me to go.
” No, no, no,” I immediately said.
” Don’t be afraid, Emily. I assure you, I won’t give you more drinks and you won’t get in any trouble. My dad owns a bar. You won’t get in any problem. Okay?” he assured me. I guess I could say ‘yes’. I never drank before. What would I drink if I go to a bar with him? Whiskey… No, Water is the only thing I drink.
” Okay. But I won’t drink anything. Is it okay?”
” Sure. Whatever you say,” Ryder agreed. Soon, we arrived at the entrance to his house. Before going inside, I texted my mom that I will be late today. The first person I saw when I entered the house is Shawn. Ryder’s brother. He looked at me and said something which makes me standstill in the place.
” What bro? You usually bring girls at night. What’s wrong today?” I know what he means. I hate it when his brother talks like this.
” Cut it off, bro. You are making her nervous. Make yourself at home, Emily. Don’t bother about my brother.” Ryder told and I took a seat on the couch.
” Where’s mom?” Ryder asked Shawn.
” She’s in the kitchen. Are you going to introduce her to mom?” Shawn has a shocked expression on his face.
” Yeah, do you have a problem with that?” Ryder snapped.
” Yeah. You never introduced anyone. I also have another question to you,” Shawn turned towards me. What is he going to ask me?
Shawn hesitated for a minute and started. ” I know you are our neighbour. I thought you are an innocent girl. But when did you make out with Ryder?”
