Just friends

3 months

Almost 3 months later, it was now January.

Me and Jake have been carrying on like we always have.

Blake took some of my moms money and split. Haven't seen him since. Not that I'm complaining.

You would probably think we wouldn't be as close as we were when we first met. Or maybe even closer.

Well we have. Strange enough my mom actually likes him and she always talks about 'our future.'

Little does she know, we aren't dating.

Not that I would mind, I mean psshh, what am I saying?I put my hands on my face ashamed I even thought that.

Grabbing my bag, I head out to my car that was taken care of by nun other than Jake himself.

What happened between us is like when a friend tells you that you guys should hang out sometime and they never text you back.
I'm a little surprised nothing new was happening with him and me, still you can't expect I wouldn't meet someone whom I actually like.

Which is what happened.

SO, there's this boy and he's cute but not cute as Jake obviously. They couldn't compare anyways.

Jake is his own kind of sexy where Carter, the new guy I've been talking now to is cute but also the definition of sexy.

I haven't hung out with him, yet. I wonder if that would be cheating. Well I don't think I'd be cheating on Jake.

I'd be cheating on Carter if I keep messing with Jake when I'm trying to mess with Carter.

I just don't know what I want ,but I know I want more with me and Jake. It is my fault a little since we don't really talk about that kind of stuff.

When I get to school, Carter was already waiting for me in the parking lot. I didn't see Jake's motorcycle anywhere, but then again, he's been carpooling with the potheads lately and hot-boxing everyday. Not surprised. Habits die hard.

I know it's not a good reputation dating a pothead because of course people will talk, but then again, Jake is iconic.

Carter is the captain of the volleyball team and everybody loves him.

Gossip is a huge part in this school. And everybody knows about me and Jake but I sorta tell Carter the "truth" in which case me and Jake aren't a couple.

Just that me and Jake use to be closer than friends and now we're just close friends.

He's been in his own little world lately.

In which case was only once. So no harm in not knowing, right?

I go up to Carter awkwardly. In other scenarios, the person approaching would give the other person a hug. Oh well.

I tend to do that sometimes.

"Good morning."  I say as I silently breathe in his amazing shower smell that I officially declared HIS smell since the moment we entered each others radar.

"Heey" he says pulling me in for a hug which made my eyes roll to the back of my head. I'd be lying if this wasn't like porn for the nose.

"Did you talk to your mom about going to that party tomorrow?" purposely trying to make me want him more, pulls away slowly with his hands around my waist.

I know my life would probably be over if there was a gossip girl in this city.

"You really think I'm going to ask her if I can go to a house party with a boy that isn't Jake? She basically has us shipped for life. No offense."

He shrugged understanding.

"Don't worry. I'll ask her to go somewhere and she'll let me. She only does two things in her life and that's work and sleep. It use to be just work when I couldn't drive but that's different now."

He put his arm around me and walked me to my class. I have to admit I know people will talk and it won't be long before Jake finds out what me and Carter might "look like".

Sure I might of had feelings before but they slowly disappeared.
