Beautiful Boy (Jeremiah Fisher)

Chapter 11

"Hey, good game." Belly ran over to me. She held a hand out to help me up.

"I got it." I said as I helped myself up. I dusted myself off while I looked around.

"I'm sorry Scar." Austin said.

"We did our best. Don't worry about it." I smiled at him. I watched as Suzanna handed Belly and Conrad the trophy. How the hell am I supposed to raise money for the deb ball now? Also... why the hell would Belly just bail on me?

"Maybe you'll get it next year." Taylor smirked at me while I walked off the court.

"Fuck off Taylor!" I snapped in her direction. She looked surprised at my reaction.

"Okay Scar let's not do this now." Jeremiah grabbed my arm pulling me away from the crowd. "I'm sorry you didn't win but there's no reason to act like that over it."

"Really Jeremiah? It's not because I lost. It's because Belly ditched me. We should've won that together so we'd both have money raised for the deb ball." I said.

"I'm sure you raised some money here. If not, we can make a lemonade stand." Jeremiah smiled.

I didn't smile back. I stared at him with a blank face.

"What? What's wrong?" Jeremiah was confused.

"And I have a feeling there's something going on between you and Belly." I whispered.

"What?" Jeremiah quickly said. "No, there's nothing going on Scarlet."

"Promise?"

"I promise." He responded.

"Hey Scar, most of the girls are coming over to my boat later tonight. I already told Belly and Taylor. Id love if you come." Nicole said while she was walking past.

I nodded and felt myself smile. "Yeah I'll be there." I can trust Jeremiah. I know I can.

After a few hours of hanging out on Nicole's boat, the sun has officially went down.

"Put a finger down if you've ever made out with 2 people within 24 hours." Taylor said. We were all sitting with our fingers out. Every girl had a few fingers down besides Belly and I who have yet to put down a finger.

"Okay put a finger down if you've ever used a stuffed animal to... you know." One of the girls said.

We all laughed as Taylor put a finger down. "What? His name was Harry Bear Styles."

"Put a finger down if you've ever had sex." One of the girls said. I remembered that late night in Jeremiah's room. I finally put a finger down.

"Scarlet!" Belly said with a huge smile on her face. "When did that happen?"

I shrugged. "Awhile ago."

"With who?" Taylor questioned. All eyes were on me.

"Um just some guy from awhile back." I lied.

"Put a finger down if you've ever been to third base." The same girl questioned. Everyone was watching Belly waiting for her to put her first finger down. "Second base?"

"Put a finger down if you've ever made out with Jeremiah Fisher." Taylor yelled out. I looked down into my lap. How does she know? I slowly put a finger down. Everyone made surprised noises. When I looked back up I realized they weren't looking at me. They were looking at Belly.

She finally had a finger down.

"I'm sorry Gigi." Belly shyly smiled.

"No no it's okay." Gigi said.
