Betraying My Crush, Love With Jork

Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4: I MADE YOU WIN

Olivia's POV

Austine.

Austine Hart is none other than the school's jork.

An asshole who manages to be the best actor in his department and the whole school and has managed to be the Romeo in the great of almost every female student.

Austine is the typical spoiled brat who has everything in his reach, so the million dollar endorsements offered by ten different countries waiting for him to graduate do not faze him.

Rather, he spends his time getting an F in his other minor courses and chasing the most beautiful and influential females.

He and Grace once dated and they lasted two weeks, just like the others.

But it was not worth mentioning and in fact, it doesn't bother me at all.

What does is the fact that he has been on my neck since he saw me crying last week.

And now, he wouldn't leave me alone.

This would sound ridiculous if I told anyone, but at the moment, I have no one to talk to.

Even my bestfriend who is supposed to be by my side always is with her boyfriend without a care in the world if the most popular guy is after me or not.

I really don't know what he wants though.

"Olivia, how come your name is up there?" He taps my shoulder and I immediately shrug his hand off.

"Up where?" I ask as I look up.

But when I really look up, it's not to the direction he is pointing at, rather, I find my gaze stuck on someone.

Rolland.

Rolland is hugging Grace, but he is staring right back at me.

Why is my heart beating so fast?

"Olivia, are you even listening to me? You have a lot of people asking you out." Austine continues, but I find myself stuck on Rollands lips as they curl up in a smile.

I know he is smiling because we are friends and all, but…

"What could be more interesting than you being the most popular girl in school right now?" Austine says as he taps me continually, finally taking me out of my daze.

I close my eyes in anger and I want to lash out, but I realise I can't.

It's a public place, I should be reserved, plus Rolland is here.

So I reply Austine with silence, but he doesn't get the gist and goes on to talk about how my name is on theist and gaining numbers, but I don't care.

I open my eyes to look back at Rolland, but I realise he and Grace are no longer where they were and I can't help but blame Austine for this.

In fact, if not that I feel grateful that he was there for me that day, I would hate him to the core right now.

"Olivia, f*****g look up." He says as he taps me again, but that's the straw that breaks the camel's back.

"Like I f*****g care about some damned numbers, f*****g leave me alone." I find myself yelling at him.

What happened to self control.

For a moment, I feel like I'm watching myself from a third person point of view.

I feel like I'm watching how my ponytail keeps swinging sideways as I stand up and glare at Austine before walking out in me.

I feel like I'm a part of the spectators watching me with judgemental eyes and gossiping about how all I'm doing is for the attention that comes with it so I can continue winning.

And that is when I look at the numbers to see how my name keeps leveling up with the score board.

How is this even happening.

No one knows me,so why am I getting the most confessions right now.

It feels like I have a thousand people watching me right now, because I really can't get over this

But that's not all, be ayse everyone's eyes is actually on me.

I'm looking all around me and all I see is people pointing at me then at the board then back at me, then they go on to whisper about what I do not know.

What in the world is going on?!

Rolland. I must find Rolland.

I must talk to him so he can comfort me.

I'm so close to having a panic attack right now, the world seems to be spinning around me.

Rolland. I need to find him.

I don't realise that I'm crying again and that I've been heaving up and down until Austine points it out.

All I know is my sight is blurry and everything is spinning.

Then I feel someone hold my hand.

It has to be Rolland, he knows me so well, so he should take care of me.

I squeeze his hand to say thank you. I don't have to say it for him to understand and he squeezed mine back.

I can't help the smile that breaks out on my face.

"Breath Olivia, breath." He says and drags me forward, towards the door.

But my legs keep crossing each other and just when I think I'm going to fall, I feel strong arms on my waist then I feel myself levitate.

Why is he carrying me?

For a split second, I look up to the scoreboard and realize my name is second to Grace's.

Just how come?!

He carries me until we are the only ones and I realize that it's the new library.

"Olivia, f*****g snap out of it." I hear him say.

But Rolland would never say that to me, so who…

"Austine…"

I find myself dumbstruck and the tears I managed to keep when we were in the recreation hall started bawling out.

Why?

Why am I so pathetic?

Why am I so weak, why?

I feel really embarrassed crying and bawling my eyes out in front of Austine for the second time, but I can't bring myself to stop.

Everything that happened the past week just keeps resurfacing and I can't help it, so I just cry.

I cry until Austine can't take it anymore and he squats in front of me before engulfing me in a hug.

I cry after until he pats my back and begins to say gibberish.

I don't know what he is saying but I find it soothing.

And in no time, my brawling is reduced to hiccups.

"It's okay, uhn. I'm here." He keeps saying, but it sounds like a lullaby.

That I forget the fact that I am in a sitting position and Austine is squatting.

I fall asleep.

Because I remember his worlds drawling and getting very loud then start to become silent till I don't hear or see a thing again.

Rolland's POV

I can't wrap my head around the jealousy I feel seeing Austine together with Olivia.

I'm the only male friend she has, so why is he with her?

I don't understand, but she looks dumbstruck looking back at me as I hug Grace.

Grace wanted to show us of since I just got the award. Her words not mine, but I don't blame her, she is like that.

However, Grace suddenly wants to get to the bonfire sight first and I have to leave Olivia all by herself with that monster.

Yes, that's what Austine is.

All he ever does is manipulate girls, get into their pants and abandon them.

The number of girls hearts he has made desperate and broken eventually is something I have lost count of.

But what's is disappointed is that after those girls realize that they have been betrayed and all he wanted was the s*x from them, they didn't think to hate him.

Rather they started to fight for him and even want them.

But it's all a game to him, he is one emotionless bro with no remorse, but he knows what nerve endings to deal with to make the girls do his bidding.

And now, he seems to be after Olivia. I want to protect her from him, and I will do just that.

She is my friend and I won't let anything or anyone harm her.

We returned back to the recreation hall, but Olivia and Austine are no where to be found and surprisingly, Olivia is the second runner up for this thing.

Austine not so surprisingly has the highest number of people asking him out, followed by my Grace and I happen to be the sixth on the list.

But that is not a source of bother to me, because Grace has been ranting about how Olivia didn't deserve the position since we returned back to the bonfire site.

A number of people are gathered around already, but there is just threw of us in the group that we are in.

Grace, a new girl who introduced herself as Joanna and I.

It's weird that they school is recieving a new student in year three, but again, I'm not surprised, she is probably one of the raw talents they go about scouting and paying their tuition for.

And not long after she joined us and introduced herself, Grace forced her to admit that she is a scholarship student.
