Player Next Door

3: Two Can Play This Game

I walked towards my locker groggily. Apparently I didn't get much sleep last night, I was anxious about the couple fest and what would happen between Sean and I. The couple fest was a day from now, and I'm still waiting to set up my plan.

I'm not looking forward to meeting Sean today. After last night's message war, it seemed as if we were on speaking terms and I definitely don't want him to think that.

But here he is in all his glory leaning against my locker, smirking as he sees me come in sight. I immediately scowl and ignore him as he steps aside to let me open my locker. I decided I would just give him the silent treatment after all this fest bullshit is finished.

Language please! I internally remind myself.

As I put grab my books in my locker, Sean's still beside me and I could see him eyeing me up and down.

I slammed my locker shut which caused a loud bang through the hallway, and caused him to snap out of his gaze and meet my eyes. I walk away from him planning to go find Caitlin and Emma to come with me to our next class.

Sean still follows me as I walk around the hallway and I spot Emma with her boyfriend sucking each other's face out.

I walked closer to them, some of the others glancing at me and Sean walking side by side. I didn't like their reaction and they're probably thinking that we were together. No way! I will never be rumored as one of his hook ups.

When I reached Emma, both of them still didn't notice me. Sean remained quiet behind me not looking bothered at all. I grabbed Logan by his collar and pulled him away with all my might.

Logan stumbled a bit backwards but regained his composure. Emma looked flustered and beet red. I chuckled.

"You both should definitely stop PDA. It looks like your sucking each other's face off." I scrunched my nose in disgust.

"That's exactly what they're doing." I forgot Sean was still here until he whispered in my ear from behind.

I ignored his comment and continued to look at Logan and Emma. Logan remained to look cool even with his shirt untucked and ruffled.

As if thinking the same thing, "What's he doing here?" Logan nodded his head towards Sean.

I shrugged my shoulders and managed to look bored. "I don't know and I don't care. Anyways, back to business." I grabbed Emma's wrist and dragged her away.

I didn't notice that Sean still followed us when he grabbed my free hand and held it against his.

Even though I wasn't in good terms with him, I couldn't help but feel a bit of a spark. I knew he never hold another girl's hand like this and I couldn't help but feel a bit special.

I smiled and tried to cover a blush rising against my cheeks.

My other hand was still holding Emma's wrist and I was dragging her to class. Before we reached the rooms, Caitlin came out of the restroom and her eyes glanced over the area before landing on me, smirking and pointedly looking at my hands together with Sean's.

I wriggled my hand free and Sean caught the move as he released it and placed both his hands in his pockets.

"Let's go?" Awkwardly trying to divert Caitlin's thoughts.

Caitlin nodded while still smirking. "What's he doing here?"

I shook my head. "He's leaving." I say just as Sean speaks. "I'm bringing her to class."

"What?" I turn my head and looked at him baffled.

"I'm not leaving." He shruggs and simply says. "Yes you are." I say firmly and stepped towards him.
