There's a Thin Line Between Love and Hate

There's a Thin Line Between Love and Hate (28)

They actually thought that I had some kind of relationship with Hunter... I didn't even understand my own friends sometimes! And even Dallas thought that I was with Hunter, too! That was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard in my entire life!

I loved my friends and everything, but how could they be so stupid? Dallas thought I was looking at him in some way, but I didn't think I was. Unless the look was of absolute hatred and disgust...

But how could you mistake that look for love? Unless you were partially blind or something... Then that would be understandable. But from what I knew, Dallas wasn't partially blind.

So stupid...

"That was very amusing," Alex informed me cheekily.

"No it wasn't," I sighed, really not in the mood for him right then. How could someone be so goofy all the time? It just didn't make sense!

"Yes, it was," he grinned at me as we walked side-by-side to Jesse's cabin. "I never would have thought that everyone would think you like Hunter!"

"It's such a nightmare," I groaned, shaking my head at him and his happy-go-lucky attitude. "What would you do if everyone said you were in love with Hunter?"

"Well, that wouldn't happen because I'm not gay."

"I'm not saying anything."

Alex's eyebrows furrowed at me, and I couldn't help but laugh now. Making fun of him sure was fun... No wonder he did it to me and everyone else all the time! It could get pretty amusing...

"I can't be gay; I'm going out with Lexi," Alex announced triumphantly, as if that would make any suspicious of him being gay disappear. Even though I knew that there was no way that he could have been gay, I still found it hilarious that he actually thought I was being serious.

Someone didn't like to play at their own game.

I bounded up the steps and onto the porch of Jesse's cabin, waiting for Alex to pass me and open the door, inviting us both inside. But when he didn't, I couldn't help but turn toward him with a confused look on my face.

"You can do the honors this time, homophobe," he smiled at me, causing me to glare at him.

"I'm not a homophobe," I informed him, fighting the urge to smack him. "It's just fun to tease you. You should know how that's like, right? You're Mr. Tease."

"That can be taken in many different ways, Jordan," he told me suggestively, one of his eyebrows rising on his forehead. "And I've taken it a different way than you did."

"Oh, jeez," I groaned, covering my face with one of my hands and turning toward the door. I raised my free hand and knocked it against the door, not letting him say anything more to me.

The door opened, and Jesse appeared. I removed my hand from my face and placed it at my side, smiling slightly when I saw my boyfriend. But I was still pissed off about everyone thinking that I had some kind of romantic link to Hunter. That's just disgusting...

"You look... upset," Jesse blinked at me as he held his cabin door open for me to enter.

"Not upset. Just... unamused," I replied flatly, walking past him and into his cabin, Alex smirking behind me as he trailed inside. I wasn't looking at him, but I knew that that was what he was doing. 

"Did you break it off with Dallas?" he asked, shutting the door and turning toward me. "You did tell me that you were going to go do that... did you?"

"Yeah," I answered, shrugging as if it was no big deal.

"Then why do you look upset?" Jesse asked again, looking kind of worried now. Did he think that I had regretted breaking up with Dallas for him?
