Make me fall in love

Day 5 - The Fight

Jennifer's POV:

"Do you know there was an article about sexiest women alive ? Ruby rose leads" Cindy asked as all three of us get inside my car,  I can't take my Audi A6 out because of Cindy.

I'm a sucker for cars, cars are one of my passions, I learnt to drive at a young age, Kayden taught me and since then I've always loved the speed and adrenaline rush I get.

"And your point is?" I ask her as I connect my phone to the AUX cable playing Beyonce since Richard isn't a fan of my music.

"Well, you're the Ruby Rose of our college" Cindy says and I let out a laugh, what the hell? Seriously!

"Cindy, what the hell?" Richard says laughing, "That's total crap, Ruby Rose is too hot."

"What is that supposed to mean?" I ask Richard raising an eyebrow once we get to a red light, "I am hot and just so you know, a lot of guys and even girls want to be with me."

Cindy nods agreeing with me while Richard frowns at me. "Oh really, like who?"

"Oh wow, Jenny he doesn't believe you can do it..."Cindy laughed, " don't you know better by now?" She asked Richard.

"That's because no matter how hot you are, Jennifer, there's just some people you can't get to..." Richard said ignoring Cindy. This is insulting.

"Oh really?" I laughed, "Is that what you think?"

"No," he said still frowning, "That's what I know. You're so cocky, you think everybody likes you ,well breaking news: not everybody does."

That hit a nerve, it made me mad. I don't know why but it just did, it really did and I swear I just want to prove him wrong,  Oh God, how badly I want to prove him wrong. Mister know it all. Argh.

"Alright then, that's how it is? Well, how about we make a bet?" I'm pretty mad at this point, and I can tell by the looks of it, he is too, I don't know why we're angry at the other because this conversation is stupid but there's something deep down in me that's pissed off at him and I can't seem to figure out what it is and by the looks of it, the same is happening to him.

It can't be because of he rejected me. Yes, whatever, he has a girlfriend, I understand that is his own boring  life. Another part of me tells me that I'm stressed out because it's been a week and I haven't had any s*x  aside from kissing which is rare for me.

"Do you really run in bets? That's all you do, you bet this, that... Is your life really boring that you have to make a bet out of everything?" he asks, I clench my jaw so I don't answer something I might regret. "Why are you like this? This isn't you—" he continued .

"Oh yeah, Richard because you're such an expert. Aren't you? You know so much about me already." I say sarcastically. "You know nothing, you're just a abnormal innocent guy waiting for his girlfriend to come back to your life after she, most likely, left you. At least I know when I'm not wanted, when to let go." I spat .

"Guys. Stop.." Cindy says from the back seat but I decide to ignore her.

"Oh really? When to let go? That's why you can't even talk about your brother ? Even after three years? And by what I already know, I can tell that you're just hiding because you're hurt." he snaps, he looks more pissed off but he should know better than to bring my brother to this conversation. I just want to get to college. "You know, at this point, I just wonder if you're scared nobody is going to like you even if you open up. You're so into your physical appearance that you think it's going to make up for the fact that your personality is void and spoilt. You're rotten inside and you want to look good so people don't see how mess up you really are." Richard continued his insults on me.

"Shut the f**k up!" Cindy shouts at Richard knowing how much it hurt me.  I just step on the gas and try to get to college as fast as I can.

Richard is telling me to slow down but I've shut him out, Cindy didn't say anything. When we finally make it to college, Richard gets out of my car and slams the door shut, Cindy ask me if I'm okay but I just ignore her, get out of my car, lock it and make my way to my first class.

This guy, I swear. How dare he? How could he talk like he knew me when he knows nothing about me? Want to know the funniest part of it all? What he said actually rang a bell, that's why I got so mad about it, because deep down I know that he's not completely right but she isn't completely wrong either.

And just for that, I swear I will make him fall for me and once he does, I will break his heart. I will definitely do it.

Richard's P.O.V

"Why are you in such a bad mood?" Emily ask me as she sits next to me in psychology class. "You've been so... happy, this past few days, what's happened?"

"he had a fight with Jennifer." Jessica informs Emily before I can reply, I roll my eyes at Jessica and continue to look at my book. Simon just sat silent.

"She's such a bitch." I snap not being able to keep it in any longer, I need to let it out, "I can't believe her! Argh, I want to slap that beautiful face of hers!"

"Aw, trouble in paradise?" A sarcastic voice comes from behind me, "What did I tell you, give it a few weeks and she'll be back with me. Look at him, he can't give her what I can, he's so... simple, he's not what Jen wants, he doesn't have that something that drives Jennifer crazy. A few more days , Jen and I will be back together."

Dimitri is sitting behind us with one of his friends who is laughing at what he is saying.

"I don't know if you're stupid or you just like to look pathetic, Jennifer made it pretty clear that there is no you and her. She's done with you, she used you and then she threw you away once she was done f*****g you, now she's onto something serious, something better and real that you can't give to her because you are just the fuckboy of the moment."

I give him a fake smile, "So close your mouth and while you're at it, your body too, smells kind of funny."

Before I even had the chance to react, Dimitri is on top of me, punching me and pulling my hair. My anger from this morning came out, I pulled him down and rolled over until he was the one on the floor and I am on top of him. I throw punches after punches at him.

I was about to punch him again when a pair of strong arms around my waist dragged me away from him. I was kicking and trying to reach him, he was pulled away by  Henry, one of his friends.

"The four of you to the principal's office now!" My teacher shouts and I frown, four? And that's when I realise that Simon is also in a corner with his t shirt messed and Dimitri's friend was far away from him.

We began to walk to the principal's office,  Dimitriand his friend, they are far from us. I asked Simon why he got involved. "That boy was going to jump in, so I stopped him" he said and I smile.

"Aw, how nice to know you've got my back!" I laugh as I pat his back.

"shut it." He slaps my hand away, "Do you realise that you just got in a fight over Jennifer?" I bit my cheek looking away from him .

If Jennifer hears about this, I won't hear the end of it. But I was so angry and what Dimitri  said just made me angrier, who does he think he is? I mean yeah, he's taller, has money and a killer body . but why does he has to trash talk me like that? I'm not the person who insults others just for the fun of it but Dimitri has been throwing insults ever since Jennifer came up. Enough is enough, I had to stand for myself, I couldn't expect Jennifer to do it for me  and to be honest I don't think she will after the fight we had this morning. I got angry at her for no reason at all, I just know I woke up angry and she's so full of herself, always talking about guys falling at her feet. I don't doubt she can get any guy she likes, I'm sure she can but... Ah, it bothers me. It angers me that she can so freely talk about the guys she can be with, the guys she can reject... All those thoughts make me angry, every time I look at Jennifer I see something different.  I see the way other girls and boys look at her, something I did not noticed before. All that brings a weird sensation that angers me and makes my day a little bit bitter and although I know what it is, I will not say it, I will not accept it, so like everything else, I push that feeling aside.

"No, I had a fight because Dimitri is being a bully, that's why." I answered, he looked at me with one eyebrow raised. "Whatever."

***

Jennifer has been texting me all day.

Who am I kidding... She hasn't.

Not once has she texted me to apologise but to ask me what had happened. Well no, I'm exaggerating, she texted me once and asked me what had happened. Once. One f*****g time. And I had a fight with Dimitri because of her. I rolled my eyes at my phone as I checked it for the hundredth time. I understand I was rude this morning but so was she. If she's waiting for me to take the first step, well I am not going to take it. Yes, yes, she did text me but it was the driest text I've ever received, it said, you got in a fight what happened. literally, that's all. I don't know why I'm so mad at her, maybe I am expecting her to be more caring? I don't know... A part of me is a bit confused because she showed me she can in fact be caring, she can be romantic and even though it's weird sometimes for her since it's her first time in a proper relationship, she was doing alright.

Up until this morning that is.

Jessica and I had to go home for the rest of the day, she didn't want to go to an empty house so she came to the apartment instead. She was trying to talk to me about Jennifer and the argument but I told her to either change the subject or I'd fall asleep, so we began to talk about the party. Jessica was coming too and so were Ben,Simon and Emily. I've never been to one of Cindy's parties, apparently they are pretty good and different from Jennifer's since Jennifer only invites like 20, 30 people over to her 'VIP parties' or maybe even less, much less. Cindy invites everyone. I didn't want to go but Jessica convinced me and to be honest, I didn't want to stay home lurking over how much Jennifer didn't seem to care, I mean, college finished hours ago, where is she?

We didn't normally socialise with Jennifer or her friends and whenever they had a party, if Ben didn't go, neither did we. It's weird, I know, but it almost felt like we didn't belong with them? But right now, I could care less, I am going to this party and I am going to have fun and show Jennifer that I'm not the boring man as she thinks .

"Well, I'm hungry, pizza or tacos?" Ben yawns. He's not coming with us to the party.

"Pizza." I say while Emily says Tacos and Jessica sighs .

"Pizza it is, tacos next time." Simon heads over to the door, and to the parking lot, we're driving Jessica's car as she won't drink tonight.

Throughout the ride, we're singing at the top of our lungs. Once we're at the pizza place, we order our choice of pizza.

"Whatever you guys say but you have to admit, Jennifer's friends are really hot." Emily laughed shyly as we sat down at the table to eat our pizza, "I like the Sasha guy, he has that bad boy vibe, and those eyes, oh god his eyes!"

Sasha alias Alexander is russian and football captain. Simon and Jessica laugh, I roll my eyes once again but I have to admit, Sasha is quite the looker.

"I think Elliott is good too" I say joining in, Elliott is really cute and his dimples, besides he's funny and he can sing. He's the only one of Jennifer's friend who I've 'talked' outside her group since we had  classes together.

"I go with Nick all the way." Jessica smirked and then bit her lip, oh boy.., "That Elliott boy likes Max anyway, they'd make a cute couple, she's hot, he's hot..."

"She doesn't like him though." Emily said way too quickly to be just a casual statement.

"O-okay..?" Jessica said with a confused frown.

"Why are we even talking about them?" I asked slightly annoyed, emily looked relieved that I 'changed' the subject. "A few weeks ago, we didn't even talk about them, now it seems all we do is talk about them."

"Duh, you're going out with Jennifer." Jessica said laughing slightly. "I mean before you guys got together, she was just Ben's cousin, I don't know, like your friend's anti sister. It's just different. besides, before we know her only  as Ben's cousin, now because of your relationship with Jennifer ans also we are sitting with them in lunch , we're now accustomed to her and her friends, which is something new . I'm sorry to say this, but it's also really cool."

"Can we just eat and not talk about anything at all?" I sigh and they all nod as we carry on eating.

Jennifer .

the only thing in my mind right now.
