Belly

I woke up to my phone ringing.
Gosh my head hurts.

I grabbed my phone from the charger,
Jere? Why was he calling me this early? Was he going to be late again?

"Jere?" I asked my voice raspy form having just woken up.

"Belly open Instagram like right now" he said before hanging up. Bro-
What?

I laughed a bit at the less than one second phone call I just had before opening Instagram.

My smile dropped as I saw a picture of me and that math boy from last night.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Oh no.

And it wasn't just us kissing like I fully had my hands all over him. To be honest I don't really know what to do. I don't know how or what people think happened.
Ughh why me?

All I know is that school today is going to be hell.

I got up, texting my mom I might need to go a bit late.

I turned on the shower and quickly went to go get some medicine for the headache.

I stayed in the shower for about 15 minutes hoping it would make me at least feel clean after last night.

What kind of sick freak would find joy in taking a picture of us kissing? Like bro get a life.

Oh well belly can't you just look at who posted it? No it's someone anonymous.

I sighed as I brushed my wet hair out and blow drying it into cute waves for school.

I heard my phone vibrate- a call from jere

"hey jere" I sighed overwhelmed at the moment.
He probably called in to check on me. Hope that answers his question.

"belly it's okay i promise by lunch it will be forgotten about." He said what I'm guessing as trying to comfort me.

"it's so embarrassing though" I said in annoyance how could I be so stupid?

"Bells it's just a kiss everyone does it" he reassured me. I nodded to myself.
So why was this one such a big deal?

Maybe it wasn't as bad as I am making it out to be.

I finished getting ready and managed to be there only five minutes late
My head ache wasn't completely gone but I could manage.

As I walked into class I felt all eyes on me. I just looked at jere who had actually been on time today. It looked like he had saved a spot for me.

I smiled as I sat down next to him.

My first three classes weren't that bad. I got a few stares in the hall which I should have expected but other than that everything went fine.

I went to my locker to grab some money for lunch which I had right now.

"hey can we talk" i heard a voice behind me

I turned around. Ugh. Math boy.
"hey-" I said before he started talking

"about last night" he started
"it was a mistake" i said quickly hoping he wouldn't be too upset- but I wasn't going to let him tell me he enjoyed it then I have to reject him. Easier route has been taken.
I looked at him to see his face full of relief.

Oof, at least he felt the same way.
He smiled, "Ok cool, um I was just gonna say that"

I nodded with a smile. "I'll see you in math" I smiled before walking off. At least it wasn't crazy awkward.

"planning a hookup for later?" I heard a voice.
Conrad. I looked over to where I heard him.

He was leaning against the locker on his phone, before his eyes met mine.

"so what if I was?" I asked with a smile hoping to maybe make him jealous. I mean like why not?

"you weren't" he answered seeing right through me.

I rolled my eyes before looking at him for an explanation.
Was I that bad of a liar? No- no I definitely wasn't. Then how does he always manage to know exactly how I feel?

"a drunken kiss never means anything to a guy. Not even having kissed someone like you" he said as if he wondered why it didn't mean anything.
I looked at him, "like me?"
I asked.

His face went back to the same old Conrad.
"you better get to lunch before it gets cold" he said before walking off.

Someone like me? What was that supposed to mean?

Lunch was fine I was still getting a few stares and dirty look, but it was whatever.

"you excited for math" jere smiled at me, that was our 7th hour which we have together.
And he asked because of the math boy from last night.

I stared at him. "not at all" i said already dreading how we would having to be sat in the same class with everyone assuming there own things about what happened.
Ew.

School was eventually over and I made my way to jeres car. We talked about the classes we don't have together and what had happened today.
I didn't tell him about Conrad just because.
Maybe I will later I don't know.
