Monday
3rd Period
Over the weekend I stayed at home, ignoring everyone's calls and texts especially Jesse's after the incident on Saturday...I don't know what happened that morning we kinda just got caught up in the moment I guess? Why did he kiss me though? I mean what about Aubrey? What confuses me more is why he tried to deepen the kiss by shoving his tongue in my mouth? That's when reality finally came and slapped me in the face and told me what I was doing was wrong, so I did the right thing, ran off and shut him out.
Well here I was in dreaded math class with my most favourite person in the world...Aubrey. Throughout the lesson she kept scowling at me every now and then and didn't turn away unless I scowled back or flipped her off, it was really pissing me off now.
"Dude, what the hell's your problem?" I whispered yelled as I caught her staring at me once again, I dropped my pencil and turned to fully face her. She said nothing and dropped her gaze back to her paper, I was about to pick my pencil back up and turn away but frustration took over me "Jesus Christ Aubrey, it was one kiss, it's not like it meant anything!" I snapped. Her head slowly turned back to face me and her eyes locked with mine as they widened. Shit!
"W-what...kiss?" she asked slowly, I pinched the bridge of my nose and cursed multiple times under my breath
"Aubrey?" Alice asked from behind us. Great just to make this situation 10x better "What Beca is trying to say is, she kissed your boyfriend"
"You kissed Jesse?" she growled through gritted teeth as she stood up
"Sit down Posen" the teacher sighed distractedly though Aubrey did not listen and took a step towards me. Everybody thinks that since they are taller than me then they can just stand over me to intimidate me. Well they're wrong, just because someone is taller than me doesn't mean I'm scared of them, especially not Aubrey. I stood up and pushed my chair over as I did so causing the rest of the class to "Oooooo"
"Miss Mitchell, Miss Posen, sit down" The teacher commanded much more alert this time
"He kissed me" I snapped, she folded her arms across her chest
"Oh you suppose me to believe that?" she shot back, I clenched my fists at my side and stepped closer
"Girls! If the 2 of you don't sit down right now there will be trouble!" both of us completely ignored the teacher's commands and continued to stare daggers at each other.
"You do realise that I'm only scared of you standing on my feet because if you do with Dr. Martens on you will most likely break my toe" she sent me a sarcastic smile and that's what set me off, I've had enough of her shit about me trying to steal Jesse from her, she needed to be set in place.
I stomped the heel of my foot right onto her toes causing her to cry out in pain, I grabbed onto her shoulder
"No one mess's with me Posen but I don't think you quite understand that" I spat, she grabbed onto my arm and twisted it around
"Girls!" the teacher yelled, getting up from her seat, all of the other students had already made a circle surrounding us. I swung my opposite hand and it managed to connect with her face so she loosened her grip on my arm. I wrapped my arm around her neck and tried to wrestle her to the ground, we successfully knocked our desk over as we both struggled in each other's grip. I felt a few pairs of arms trying to pull me off her but I wasn't letting go that easy.
"Fight! Fight!..." the rest of our classmates chanted
Donald's POV
Our Math class was silent apart from the sound of pencil to paper, I glanced to my left and Benji was concentrating on his work. There was a clatter of something coming from next door, everybody's head shot up and focused on the wall that separated the two classrooms. The clatter was soon followed by the teacher yelling things I could not quite work out
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" the chanting was faint but was clearly heard through the wall. Benji and I slowly turned and looked at each other wide-eyed. Beca is in that class and knowing her, she's probably involved in that fight. Benji and I rushed out the classroom despite the teacher calling after us, the both of us ran into the classroom next door to find everyone surrounding Beca and Aubrey, who were trying to wrestle each other to the floor while the teacher tried to break them up but was failing miserably.
"Woah! Girls!" I called as I climbed over the table that was most likely the source of the clatter; I wrapped my arms around Beca's waist and pulled her off to the side as Benji did the same to Aubrey. Her fists were still flying so I grabbed her wrists and held them at her own stomach so she couldn't move them
"Dude let go of me!" She protested still flailing in my arms, I glanced up and Benji looked like he was able to calm Aubrey down a bit
"Beca calm down" I said quietly. She stopped struggling and began taking deep breaths; I removed my grip on her wrists and rubbed her arms soothingly. Their teacher stood in the middle of them and pointed at both of them
"Boys can you take these 2 to the principal please" She demanded, Benji and I nodded before I kept my arm around Beca's waist as I led her out the class.
Beca's POV
"I want the 2 of you off the school grounds right now and don't come back till Thursday! Fighting will not be tolerated on these school grounds!" The principal yelled right in our faces after a long lecture about fighting and how he could expect this from me but not Aubrey and how if I get excluded one more time after this I'm getting kicked out the school. Great...
Walking down the sidewalk, kicking anything that stood in my way. How had life become so confusing in the last four days? Oh, wait, yup! I remember now. My best friend and I thought it would be a good idea to kiss, and pretty much fuck shit up. I rummaged through my bag for my house keys, I took a deep breath before releasing it as I sigh and opened up the front door, it was open; that meant only one thing. And in 3...2...1...
"Rebecca Anne Mitchell!" and there is the loving sound of my dear mother's voice. I guessed she was in the kitchen and was expecting me to go to her. Not a chance. I rolled my eyes as I turned around to close the door before heading straight to my room. I didn't make it half way up the stairs before she caught me; she stood at the bottom of the staircase with her arms folded across her chest, tapping her foot. Wow that's not a clique parent look in the slightest.
"No Beca, get back down here now! We are going to talk about this!" I turned on my heel on the middle step.
"Yes, why of course mom cause you always care about my life"
"I do care, and I do especially when I get a call from your principal saying that you got in a fight in the middle of a class and are now excluded for two days! Now get your ass downstairs, we are talking about this" I let out a snide chuckle
"Oh really cause it seems that right now we are shouting about it!" I closed my eyes and let out another sigh before heading towards the living room. She sat down on an arm chair and look from me to the couch to me again.
"I'd rather stand for this, I have a feeling it won't take long"
"Oh drop the dramatics for five minutes Beca, for Christ sake!" she snapped "you know I know it was hard for you, when your dad left us, but you know what that doesn't stretch as an excuse anymore! And certainly doesn't give you an excuse to beat up a poor girl in the middle of a class. I'm sick of this constant negative attitude from you!" she was shouting once again, so much for talking.
"Yeah that will make my attitude more positive by shouting at me" I muttered under my breath
"See! This is exactly what I mean, you constantly do that, muttering under your breath and making sarcastic comments" she paused for a breath "You know what! That's it I have had enough of this, hand over your phone, iPod and laptop; and you not leaving the house while you are excluded" she stood up and stalked off to the kitchen. Great. That's just the cherry on the cake. Not only am I excluded, I don't have music to listen to while I'm stuck in here. I swear I could kick Jesse in the teeth right now.
Beca's POV
Tuesday
I sat in the Living room and drummed my against the arm of the couch. I was leaning on the couch with my head flung back, bored out of my mind. I hated this it was bad enough that out of all of this I had lost Jesse the one person I would usually talk to if I was going through something like this, but that was out of the window. Now the she-devil had decided that I wasn't allowed music during my exclusion from school. I hadn't heard another word from my mom since yesterday. Even when I had went into the kitchen to give her my stuff all I had received was a grunt in response. And I'm the anti-social one. I closed my eyes, with every intent of falling asleep on the couch when I heard a knock at the door. Groaning, I dragged my body up and off the couch. Not even bothering to check the peep-hole, I unbolted the chain and opened the door fully. Jesse.
"Hey Beca I need to talk to you" he looked rough, no wonder, he had probably been arguing with Aubrey. I looked at the ground before looking back up to meet his eye, good god those eyes.
"Well you know what Jesse? I don't need or particularly want to talk to you right now" he shuffled on the spot
"Look Beca...I know that wh-" I took a step outside the house closing the door quietly behind me
"No Jesse you don't know, you have only heard Aubrey's side of the story, so you really don't" I exclaimed trying to keep my voice low so mom wouldn't hear.
"That's why I'm here Bec I want to hear it from you" we were interrupted my mom's voice from within the house
"Beca did I just hear the door, you better not be breaking your grounding rules" I looked round from the door and back to Jesse
"I need to get back inside and you need to leave" I tried to shoo him away, as I backed into the house, he didn't budge
"I'll leave Beca, as long as you answer me one question." No Beca. Say no Beca. You do not want to answer his question, no matter what it is. It's easy, two letters, one syllable. N-O.
"What is it Jesse?" well done genius, very well done.
"Tell me honestly...did the kiss we share, mean anything to you...at all?"
"Good-bye Jesse" and I closed the door. As soon as it was chained again I slumped down to the bottom of it and ran my hands over my face. I wanted nothing more than to tell yes, but I was too confused. I couldn't, he was taken. He was Aubrey's, and my best friend...well was my best friend. I now could barely look him in the eyes.
Jesse's POV
Wednesday
I was on my way home from school after another miserable day. Things are fucked up with Beca and Bree won't talk to me, my life sucks right now. I stopped in my tracks and stared at Beca's house. Should I try again? I held my head in my hand; no, I shouldn't what's the point? I started walking again but stopped and threw my head back. I can't lose my best friend, maybe I just have to tell her how I feel. Does she feel the same? Oh god this is so risky! I stuffed my hands into my pockets and walked towards her house.
I raised my hand, about to knock on the front door when I remembered yesterday; her mom would probably not let her answer the door again. I jogged around the side of the house and looked up. Her bedroom light was on. Of course it was on the poor girl was practically locked in her room for 2 days. Right, now how to get her attention. I tapped my finger on my chin as I looked around on the ground for anything, my eyes landed on some small rocks on the ground that were small enough to make a noise on her window but not break it. I picked a few up and threw them up at her window; they hit it then dropped back to the ground. I fiddled with my fingers as I waited for a response, 5 seconds later Beca appeared at her window, her face fell as soon as she saw it was me.
She mouthed "what?" at me. I pointed to myself then to my mouth then to her, indicating that I needed to talk to her. She ran her hand through her hair a few times and looked behind her; she held up 2 fingers and drew her curtains. I rocked on my heels as I waited for her to come downstairs, what do I tell her? I asked her about the kiss but she just ignored me yesterday, does that mean she denies it? Here's hoping.
The back door slowly opened and she stepped out leaving the door open behind her. She crossed her arms across her chest.
"What do you want now Jesse?" she sighed, I walked closer to her and stared at the ground
"Beca, look, when I kissed you it felt like something I should have did a long time ago" I confessed, I finally lifted my head to look at her, I couldn't really read her expression. "When we were kids, the only thing I saw you as was my best friend but as we got older and started to y'know grow up, I started to develop feelings for you, you meant the world to me Beca and I didn't want anything to happen to you so I kept those feelings hidden so we wouldn't ruin our friendship" there were tears forming in her eyes, all I wanted to do was hold her but I didn't know if she felt the same way
"Look Jesse, I need to go, my mom will get out the shower any minute now" She said as she turned around
"Beca wait!" she stopped but didn't turn around to face me "Please, please just answer this one question" I begged "Do you-...do you feel the same way?" I finally asked, her shoulders dropped as did her head. She took a deep breath before turning around. I held my breath as our eyes locked, she didn't waste any time before she stepped forward and cupped my face in her hands, our lips crashed together, my hands moved to her waist and she pressed her body flush against my own. When air became a problem we pressed our foreheads together
"Does that answer your question?" she asked breathlessly
"That was the best way to answer" I laughed slightly.
"Wait..." her gaze fell to the ground but I lifted her head up by her chin "What about Aubrey?" she asked, I let out a sigh before answering
"We had a fight yesterday and she told me she didn't want anything to do with me...I was gonna tell you yesterday but you slammed the door in my face"
"Oh umm yeah, sorry about that" I smiled at her and she wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me close.
Jesse's POV
Thursday Morning
I knocked on Beca's door with a huge grin on my face that had been there since we kissed yesterday and that she showed me the first time we kissed actually meant something to her. She was finally allowed back in school today and I promised I would walk her there like old times, despite her eye roll. The door swung open to reveal Beca, smiling. I rolled my eyes at the sight of her without her tie before wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her into a tight hug
"I've missed you" I mumbled into her hair she pulled away and raised an eyebrow at me
"Dude you saw me yesterday"
"I know but that's different" I smirked, rubbing my hands soothingly up and down her back.
"Come on nerd lets go" she grabbed my hand and attempted to walk but I kept my feet planted in the same spot "What's your problem?" she chuckled. I held my hand out in front of her
"Hand it over" I sighed
"Hand what over?" she asked
"Your tie" I said, motioning my fingers for her to hand it over, she rolled her eyes and dug her hand into her bag
"Ugh you're such a mom" She groaned, she shoved it into my hand and I couldn't help but laugh at her. I turned her collar of her shirt up and put the tie around her neck before turning the collar back, I quickly tied it and our eyes locked. I ran my hands slowly down her arms until our hands met; I interlocked our fingers and smiled at her. I leaned closer to her and as our lips met there were sparks just like the first time I kissed her and the time after that. Kissing Beca felt so right. When we finally detached our eyes were still locked and she chewed on her bottom lip which I found adorable
"Let's go" I whispered, interlocking her fingers with mine. I think I've finally found the perfect girl for me.
Beca's POV
It took longer than usual for us to make it to school; I suppose we both were trying to psych ourselves up for it. We were still at least ten minutes away from school. Our conversation flowed back and forth just like it used to. I was glad we no longer had the awkwardness between us that we had over the last few days. I still couldn't believe this had all happened I mean it had almost been a week since I had my reaction. That day that Jesse had saved my life. He had seen my reactions quite a few times but had never actually had to act upon it, all the while Luke had just stood by watching. I stopped and looked at Jesse. When a sudden realisation hit me "hey, why'd you stop?" confusion spreading across his face.
"You know this is a big step Jess everyone is gonna be looking at us today, you do realise that don't you?" he stepped in front of me and wrapped his arms once again around my waist,
"I know and I can't wait" I cocked an eyebrow at him,
"What do you mean you can't wait?"
"I mean" he kissed my forehead "I can't wait to see the look of jealousy on other guys faces" he then kissed both of my cheeks "when they see I have you" and then captured my lips
"Oh dear god I take it back, I don't think I can date such a cheese-ball!" jokingly shouted and ran ahead of him, he ran after me and pulled me into one of his bear hugs. I burst into a fit of laughter. This, this I could get used to. Me and Jesse spending time together as more than friend, things just seemed to flow so much better together this way. I don't think Jesse and I could ever go back to being just friends.
