The Story Of Us

Chapter 7

Chapter Seven:

Justin’s POV:

I was at my locker when Selena came and hugged me from behind.

“Hey Jay.” She smiled. I turned around and gave her a real hug wrapping both my arms around her hugging her tight.

“Hey Sel.” I said kissing the top of her head.

“Jay, I can’t breathe.” She chuckled out. I laughed to and let go of her slowly.

And no we are not dating. I’m actually kind of dating Aimee. I say “kind of” because we really haven’t made it official. I mean we’ve kissed and we have touched each other—like a normal couple would do—but we haven’t really talked about it.

Selena and I have been friends—well bestfriends for two and half weeks now. We hang out all the time—well that’s when I’m not busy with Aimee and my life has made a dramatic change since I’ve been hanging out with her more. People actually talk to me—they don’t call me ‘infested’ anymore. Plus I’ve been getting a lot of flirtatious looks from other girls.

The only bad thing about all this attention is that Colton gives me death glares a lot. Especially when I’m around Selena. But I just ignore them—well since Selena is never ever going to go back to his ass.

Ever since Selena told me what he did to her, all I want to do is make sure she never goes around him again. And I’m going to make sure of that.

“Jay.” I heard Selena say. I snapped out of my thoughts. “I’ve been talking to you for the past two minutes. Have you even been listening to one word I’ve been telling you?” She said crossing her arms.

“Yeah—sorry.” I said.

“C’mon, let’s get to class before we’re late.” She said. We hooked arms and walked off to history. “So Halloween is coming up.”

“Isn’t that like 2 weeks away?” I said.

“Yeah. And? I was thinking we could go to this Halloween party that’s the Saturday before Halloween. I know Tori throws one every year—so maybe we could go together.” She said.

“I guess—I mean I’ll have to ask Aimee—“I began.

“Right your girlfriend.” Selena said with an attitude. Lately Selena has been acting weird. Every time I mention Aimee she gets an attitude and I have no reason why.

“What’s that suppose to mean?” I said.

“Oh—nothing.”She said with a fake smile. “But anyway, on actual Halloween I was thinking we could take Jazzy and Gracie trick-or-treating.” She said hopeful. “Or do you have to ask your girlfriend about that too?”

I stopped walking and turned to her. “Why are you acting like this?” I asked.

“Like what?” She asked.

“Every time I mention anything about Aimee you get an attitude. Like—like you’re jealous or something.”

“I’m not jealous Jay.” She defended herself crossing her arms.

“Well it sure seems like it.” I snapped.

“Well I’m not. Okay?” She said and walked off into the class room. I walked in after her and took my usual seat in the back.

It was now lunch time and I took my usual spot next to Selena with her friends surrounding us. Yeah—also ever since Selena and I became friends, I’ve been sitting with her and her friends at lunch.
