•About half year later•

Two unaswered calls from an unknown number.

I know it's Jake. What's wrong with this guy??

Sighing I get out of the bed, preparing for school.

...

"Jen!" I smile as I look at the direction of the voice.

Celia and Vivie sprint towards me and we make our way to school.

Celia blabbers this and that as usual.
"I'm sure I failed at math! Mom's gonna slice my neck open! This is our last year anyway, gotta get the good grades."

"You're right. But we also gotta enjoy the last year as long as it lasts", I look at my friends smiling widely.

"For sure! Let's throw a party!" Celia shouts happily.

"What happened to the "good grades"?" Vivie asks rolling her eyes.

"Vivie... you're in, right?" Celia asks pouting with puppy eyes.

"Of course I am! What did you think?" Vivie laughs pulling us with her to the school entrance.

...

As I walk with Vivie towards our math class I see Jake leaning against the wall next to the classroom.

"What's with him? He's not in our math class, is he?" Vivie asks giving Jake a nasty look.

"I have no idea. He had once again called me twice this morning."

Jake raises his chin as he notices us, but just then I notice something else.

Tall blonde guy walks towards us... and stops right in front of me.

"E-Ethan?" I ask stratled, giving Vivie a side-eye glance.

Vivie leaves as she gets the hint and I'm thankful for that.

Ethan nods. "You are Jen, right?"

He remembers my name?!

"Yes, I am. What... what are you doing here?" I gesture around. Shouldn't he be in a university or something? How come he has time to come here? He isn't here for me, is he..?

Ethan laughs lightly. "I-"

"Hey!"

As I look around I notice Jake. And that all the students are now looking at us.
"What do you think you're doing? Leave my girlfriend alone!"

What the hell Jake!?

Ethan looks from me to Jake and from Jake to me. He looks very confused.

I can't get a word out of my mouth.

"Ah... sorry", Ethan gives me an expressionless look.

"No! Ethan, Jake is not-"

"Yeah, I got it", Ethan says coldly and walks away.

Angrily I turn to Jake. He looks angry as well.

"What the hell are you playing Jake?" I whisper from between my clenched teeth.

Jake doesn't look as angry anymore. More like nervous.

"Don't get me wrong Jen-"

I don't let him finish as I slap him hard on the face.
