The Jerk and I (Editing)

Chapter 9

Beatrice's POV

What the hell? It's enough I had to come to this trip, now I'm rooming in with Kevin? Isn't there some policy about boy and girl in one room together...alone?

"Forget it. She isn't staying in the same room as some boy alone." Chris yelled.

Everyone turned around and looked at him. Mr. A looked shocked with Chris' outburst.

"Some boy? Really Chris? Don't you trust me?" Kevin asked, looking irritated.

"Trust you? Yes. Alone with her? No." Is there something going on here? I'm really lost right now.

"Both of you stop! Partners stay together. That's final! Unless the both of you want to get on that bus back to school, I suggest you all get to your cabins." Mr. A yelled angrily.

Everyone picked up their bags and started walking to their assigned cabin. I was about to walk towards me and Kevin's cabin when Chris stopped me. I looked up and he looked pretty mad. "I know you're worried, but he's your best friend. Trust him a little would ya?" I said trying to relax him a bit. I've never seen him so mad before.

"I do. It just makes me mad that you're sharing a room with someone else. What if something happens huh?" Chris asked.

"Chris nothing is going to happen. Stop worrying. I can take care of myself. I'll see you later at the camp fire." I said while turning around to walk towards our cabin...more like room.

I walked in and noticed that Kevin had already picked which bed he wanted. I placed my bags on my bed and started to unpack. Our 'fieldtrip' was going to last a week. I have no idea how or why it's a week, but at least we're excused from school.

But that means I don't see Seth for a week. I'm actually starting to miss him. I wonder what he's do---. BAM!

I jumped up and turned around to where the noise came from. Kevin walked in with another bag and dropped it on his bed.

"What the hell? How many bags did you bring?" I asked. Really, why does he have so many bags? Or more suitcases? I only have 1.

"Because we're staying for a week and I need choices." he replied.

"Choices?" I looked at him confused.

"Of clothes." he said in a 'duh' tone. "If you wanna look as good as me, you gotta learn how to dress." he replied smugly.

"Kevin you did not make any sense. Have we switched roles or something? Isn't it supposed to be the girl with the extra bags and not the guy?"

"You're a girl? No way. I don't believe you." he said sarcastically.

I walked up to him and smacked the back of his head. "Idiot." I muttered walking away.

We were both unpacking and Kevin was sitting on the ground fixing his shoes. He brought like 4 different pairs. Man, this kid is whacked.

"I think I should be worried about Chris right now." I said.

He looked up and asked, "Why what's wrong?"

"I think he has a gay best friend." I said laughing.

"What? Who?" he asked.

I started laughing even harder, then pointed at him. "You!"

Kevin jumped up and started chasing after me. The room was really small so he caught me easily. I had nowhere else to go, so I started backing up. He started walking towards me and then...ooph. I felt myself towards the bed. Kevin walked closer, and ended up tripping on 1 of his shoes. I closed my eyes and when I opened them, Kevin was on top of me.

I looked at him and realized we were so close. We were so close that I could feel his hot breath. We stayed like that for a few seconds till he said; "Still think I'm gay?" then he smirked.

I couldn't say anything. What the hell? Say something Beatrice! "Yup. The way you talk about your appearance makes you sound like a girl." I said whispering.

He looked at me and chuckled. "Nah. Don't worry. I'm all straight." Then his signature smirk came upon his face then winked.

"Get. Off. Me." I said.

"Mmmm. You sure? I think you're enjoying this." he said. The nerve of some people. I tried to wiggle my way under him, but that didn't work.

"Seriously Kevin. Get off of me." He got up and helped me up. I slapped his hand away.

"Sorry. Come on, don't be mad. Please." He said with that stupid puppy dog face of his.

"Fine." I said. I walked towards the couch and pulled my guitar out.

"You play?" he asked curiously.

"Yeah. Seth taught me how." I said smiling. Remembering that time he sang 'Crush.'

Kevin stiffened when I said Seth's name, but then relaxed after a second. He took the guitar from my hands and started strumming. "You play?" I asked.

"Yup." he said, popping the 'p.'

"Since when? You don't really look like the type of guy that plays the guitar."

"Since ever since. And what type do I look like?" he asked.

"The jerk/player type." I said joking, but he didn't take it as a joke. He looked at me and he looked so hurt. "Sorry." I mumbled.

He looked up, but didn't say anything. He started to strum again, and then played, then began singing:

I shouldn't love you, but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you, but I can't move
I can't look away

I shouldn't love you, but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you, but I can't move
I can't look away

And I dont know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make the feelings stop

Just so you know
This feeling's takin' control
Of me and I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go
Of you but I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know

It's gettin' hard to
Be around you
Theres so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make the feelings stop

Just so you know
This feeling's takin' control
Of me and I can't help it
I wont sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go
Of you but I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know

This emptiness is killin' me
And I'm wonderin' why I've waited so long
Lookin' back I realize it was always there, just never spoken
I'm waitin' here
Been waitin' here

Oooh

Just so you know
This feeling's takin' control
Of me and I can't help it
I wont sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go
Of you but I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know
Whoa
Just so you know
Whoa
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go
Of you but I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know
Just so you know

He ended the song and stared at me. He looked away and handed me the guitar. He got up and walked towards the door. "I gotta go." he said then walked out.

As soon as he walked out, I felt so bad. What have I done? I'm not usually the type of person to hurt others feelings. But why do I feel bad? He's always hurt my feeling before. But still... Something feels different.
