Jt•

Onyx was sick today so she wasn't here, I was by myself- besides Keith and Nathan. Those two are like my boy bestfriends, like my brothers. I had just walked into the library, there was a book I needed, plus its quiet and peaceful so I can get some work done. Michael of course was in here, the only one besides the librarian

He looked up at me and smiled instantly but soon it faded, I ignored his presence and sat a table down from him. I got everything I needed out and started doing my homework, Michael sat down beside me and like the baddie I am I ignored him.

"Butterfly, can we talk?" He asks, "Nothing to talk about, I'm busy anyway." I mumble, circling the correct answer, "Number 8 is b." He says, I guess he knew that was my next question

"Thanks but I don't need your help, Michael. What part of 'stay away from me' don't you understand?" I ask, I didn't need Rebecca here, "Why are you so upset with me now, Jayden? What have I done to you?" He huffs causing me to look up him

"Well I don't know, believe a girl you met not even a week ago over me? Michael I thought we were becoming the best of friends, maybe even more but obviously not. It hurt me because you don't even know why I snapped on her, you just instantly took up for her- didn't even try to ask what caused me to snap. Again, you compared me to those people, I'm not them. So don't ask me why I'm upset." I snap before looking back down at my work

He remained quiet, he knew I was right, "I'm sorry, Jayden, I am...I just-Rebecca understands me-." I cut him off with a scoff, "And I don't?"

"I mean, you grew up differently than I did, h-have you seen my childhood? My real childhood, Rebecca grew up like me- we have similar childhoods, so she understands me better than you can. You wouldn't understand." Michael explains

I look at him again, "Thats because you've opened up to her, I tried to get you to open up to me and I don't force you. I respect your decisions, its not that I don't understand its that you won't let me. Besides, you don't know my childhood, you don't know what I've been through either. Yea I wear designer pieces but that doesn't make me who I am, Michael."

He hangs his head which caused me to feel bad, maybe I was too harsh with my explanation, maybe I should tell him that his sweet little doggy is blackmailing me. I huffed and sat my hand on top of his

"Michael, I can't make your decision for you. I can't make you see and believe but I can try to open your eyes, Rebecca isn't who you think she is. She's blackmailing me, she wants me to stay away from you so she can get with you. I don't wanna stop being your friend, you're one of the best people I've ever met, honestly. I just...I don't know." I pull my hand away but instantly he grabs it again before looking at me

"I'm sorry, I just feel like I can be myself around her- not saying I can't around you but I fee like another person with her. We can still be friends, and I'll talk to Rebecca." He smiles, I did the same and nodded

"Just letting you know now..if she provokes me, I'm gonna hand her her ass, okay?" I warn him, "Point taken." He grins

2 Weeks Later Girlies 😅

I was on the way to Mikey's, haven't heard from him since we became friends in the library again. JT how you gone get in? A key bitch. I need some damn help, talking to myself like this.

Rebecca had his time of course, I mean he likes her and she's a bitch I tried to show him. You know what they say, you can lead a horse to a lake but you can't make them drink.
