In Print On Me

Chapter four - Easy Forgiveness

I've decided I'm never going to anther one of those damn parties again. I mean, how does Aubree even put up with all the parties?

I push all my thoughts in the back of my head and get ready for school. I throw on a pair of black leggings and a pastel pink and blue tie die hoodie. I don't feel like dressing up today. Plus, I've ran out of new school clothes.

"Hey, Cash is here to take to school." My mom says, pushing the door open.

"Cash?" I ask confused.

"He's practicing his driving so he took his moms car to practice." My mom says, nodding her head.

I quickly finish getting ready and go outside and see a big red truck. Cash's smile grows when I get in the passenger seat. He leans in and gives me a quick peck on the lips.

"You look beautiful." Cash says, grinning in my neck.

"Stop." I laugh and push him away. He laughs with me and starts to drive.

When we arrive at school he gets out of the car and opens the door for me.

"Oh, why thank you. What a gentle men." I bow like people did in the old days.

"You're welcome ma lady." He nods his head and kisses the back of my hand, sending a shock down my spine.

I notice Gracie and Hazel sitting at the bench we always sit at. I determine if I should go over there and talk to them or not. It does look like they want to talk to me by the way their looking at me, so why not.

"Cash, I'm going to go talk to Hazel and Gracie. I'll catch you later." I say.

"One thing before you go." He quickly grabs my wrist and pulls me to him.

"Yes?" I turn my head slightly, admiring his beautiful blue eyes.

"I- I." He stutters. His face is turning pale the more time passes.

"I love you." He quickly says. Oh my. He just said that, didn't he? Am I hearing things? It has been two years and we never actually said we loved each other, but do I love him back? Of course I do. Well, I should.

"I love you too." I nervously whisper.

He smiles at me and shows his beautiful white teeth before letting  go my wrist. I wave him goodbye and walk over to my friends.

"Hey. We've been meaning to talk to you." Gracie says, while I sit down next to them. I nod my head, letting them know to continue.

"Jagger tried to sleep with Hazel." Gracie lets out a breath.

"And?" I turn my head, confused.

"Well, he was telling all the guys at the party not to ever invite you to a party so we thought you guys have been talking." Hazel says. I turn my attention away from them and stare out into the distance. Why would he be telling guys not to invite me to a party? Is it because he likes me?

"How did he try to sleep with Hazel?" I ask, bringing my attention back to them.

"After he told you to leave he came by me and Hazel and asked Hazel to go to a room with him." Gracie says, putting her hand over my hand on my knee.

"Hazel, did you?" I ask.

"Oh my god, no!" Hazel scoffs.

"Oh." I look down at my thighs and shift my feet.

"We're sorry. There's always Cash." Hazel whispers to me and leans down in front of me. Oh my god. They think I did stuff with Jagger!

"Wait, you guys think I did stuff with Jagger?" I quickly stand up to my feet. Hazel and Gracie look at each other like they've been hiding something.

"Masie, there's no need to lie. We won't tell Cash. We just want to be friends again." Gracie says, standing up to put her hands on my arms.

"Guys, whatever Jagger told you isn't true. I didn't do anything with him." I stare at both of them with a deep scowl in my face.

"Oh." Hazel says from behind Gracie. It kind of hurts to know that Gracie and Hazel think I did something with Jagger. They should know I'm not that type of person. I would never cheat on Cash. I swear it.

"Can we just go back to how it was before? With the three of us?" Gracie asks and Hazel shifts uncomfortably.

"Yes!" I smile and pull Gracie in for a hug.

"Hm, yes. I missed this." Gracie laughs and pulls out of the hug. I look over at Hazel who still looks like she's hinging something. I don't know what it is with her. I've never seen her like this.

"Let's go to class." Gracie smiles and wraps an arm around each of mine and Hazel's shoulder. The moment we start to walk my phone vibrates. I pull it out to see a message from Jagger.

Jagger- meet me?
Me- I don't think that's a good idea.
Jagger- why not?
Me- Because I have a boyfriend.
Jagger- and?
Me- ugh, fine. Where at?
Jagger- The hill on the side of the school.
Me- on my way.

"Guys, I have to go. I'll catch you later." I turn away before either of them can say anything. I rush to the side of the school until I see Jagger sitting, knees bent and his elbows on his knees.

"What?" I huff and sit down next to him.

"Will you skip homeroom with me?" He asks.

"No! I'm not going to skip homeroom with someone who wants to go around saying lies about me and act like you own me!" I stand back up and cross my arms over my chest. He nods his head and looks down with a grin on his face.

"Let's just go for a car ride." He leans back a puts his hands behind him in the grass.

"A car ride?" I ask.

"Yes." He nods his head and stands up whipping the grass off of his legs.

"Not after you tried to sleep with my best friend." I stare into his brown eyes that for some reason are so beautiful. God damnit.

"Tried? What do you mean tried?" He asks confused.

"Hazel told me you tried to sleep with her." I take two steps back and he takes two steps closer.

"Oh, Rae. You see, I didn't try, I did sleep with her." Jagger laughs. I swear my jaw is hanging all the way down to the ground. How could Hazel lie to me? I knew she was hiding something! Does Gracie know? Oh my god this is such a mess!

"What? Why would you do that?" I shout and literally stomp my foot on the ground.

"I was just trying to show you how they aren't good friends for you. I mean, why would they stop being friends with you all because you're hanging out with me? Jealous much?" Jagger continues to laugh, which pisses me off.

"God! I can't believe you!" I shove his chest and he only backs away half a step.

"You'll thank me later. A true friend wouldn't sleep with the guy who her best friend likes." He crosses his arms on his chest to mock me. That is true. If Hazel knew I liked him, they why would she... wait. I am not about to admit I like Jagger.

"Y-you think I like you?" I scoff, "How pathetic." I roll my eyes and look away from the brown eyed boy who seems to think he has control over me.

Jagger grabs my arm and pulls me to him. I try to kick and push out of his grip, but he's stronger then me. When I finally calm down he places one hand on my waist and and puts the other on my chin and pushes it up to make me look into his eyes. Before I can says
anything, his lips are locked on mine. His tongue sways over my lips and he pushes his crotch agents me. Damn it. He really knows how to get me on.

He moves his lips away from mine and looks at me again before dipping his head into my neck. He pulls my hair with his hand to make my head lean to the side. I wrap my hands around his shoulders and let him do his thing. He pulls away and smiles, I smile back.

"Let's go for that car ride, Rae."
