last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

The next day at school, I saw Jake harassing Liliana by her locker, and my heart filled with joy. Ah, he is finally taking the initiative and bugging her directly and not using me as a wing woman. Thank the Lord.

He had her pushed against the locker. He was about 6 foot 2, so he towered over her as he hovered over her face staring into her eyes. His lips twisted into a sickly smirk.

Liliana saw me passing by and mouthed, 'help me,' but I kept walking. It serves her right for being a bitch to me

Jake followed her eyes and saw me. He released her right away and started to walk in my direction. The fuck...why.

"Janey, wait up!" he yelled, but there's no way I'm stopping.

Jake caught up to me in the hallway as I was walking to my class. He ran up behind me and yanked my ponytail. I yelped and almost fell backward, but he caught me.

"What the hell is your problem?" I snarled. After seeing him way too many times, inside and outside of the sc

I wonder why Jane is good in answering back her bully Jake but had no bones to stand against him. Though, the story is good and made me smile.

    "Nice going, Janey," Jake snarled at me. We met up in the basement after school, much to my dismay. "This is all your fault, buddy. YOU pushed me!" I protested. "Whatever," he waved his hands in dismissal. "Let's just get this over with, so I can go home," he said gruffly. "Yeap, let's...why don't you start by moving those boxes over there, and I'll sweep the floor," I offered. Jake didn't argue anymore. He went over to the corner and started to move stuff around. I picked up the broom and started sweeping. Jake sneezed a few times as the room was dusty. His eyes were slowly turning red. Dust allergy? I guess my sweeping skill was rusty because I was doing a terrible job. All I did was move the dirt around and made the room dustier. We worked together quietly for the first half-hour. I was surprised he didn't attack me with smart-ass remarks or call me nasty names for this long. It must be a new record for him. "Would y

    "Ouch! Why did you hit me? Is this how you thank me for helping you?" Jake frowned. "Well, helping me doesn't involve feeling me up, asshole!" I cried. "But thanks...." I added. He really did help me. I was feeling much calmer and started to breathe normally again. I guess it was all in my head. "Can't believe you had a panic attack over this. We've only been stuck for like 20 minutes. Such a nerd," Jake shook his head. I just ignored him and looked at my phone. I only need one bar to send a text, so I started to walk around, trying to catch a signal. "Any luck?" he asked. "I don't know.....wait...I think I got something!" I said excitedly. I decided to text Aaron. He has a car, and he shows that he cares about me sometimes. Help! I am trapped in the school basement with Satan! I typed it and hit send. The text came back with a message failed signal. Fuck... "Wait, Jake. You are taller! Hold the phone high over

    "So Aaron and I are going to be in the team against your team," I said. "Are you sure you want to do that? Because you are definitely going to lose against Jake Morris, the laser tag champion," Jake declared. "Scared yet?" he smirked. "You are wrong! You are the one that should be scared, Morris. prepare to feel my wrath!" I cried and started to stretch my legs. The bad boy is going down tonight! I may be plain, unpopular, and invisible among social circles, but I was invincible when it comes to video games and laser tag. So Jake is in for a treat. The person in charge of the game divided the players into two teams. I purposely went against Jake's team because I promised him death. "Are you sure you don't want to play with me instead of against me? I don't want to make you cry," he smirked. Oh please... "Pfft...just worry about saving your own buttocks, good sir," I dismissed him. Jake stared at me with an amused look o

  • The Ugly One   12. The First Kiss

    He pressed his lips on mine and kissed me softly. It wasn't anything like what they show in the movies or how they described in romance novels. I didn't hear any fireworks go off, or my heart didn't jump out of my rib cage and run away. It was short, and it was sweet. His lips felt soft and warm, and he was a good kisser. I mean, I guess he was. I wouldn't know since I had no one else to compare it to. He gazed into my eyes with those gorgeous green eyes, and I felt like I was going to melt. Why did he have to be so handsome? "I am glad I got to be your first kiss, Jane Brown," he said and smiled. "I totally sucked, didn't I?" I asked. I just had to know the truth. "No, of course not. I love your lips," he said quietly. "These?" I gasped and pointed at my lips. "You don't think they are way too big for my face? I've always felt awkward about them," I said sadly. "Are you kidding? They are gorgeous!" Aaron exclaimed. My heart di

  • The Ugly One   13. Is Someone Jelly?

    I saw Jake hanging out outside of the cafeteria. He was leaned over on a pillar, smoking a cigarette. I had to give him props for his boldness because if an administrator caught him smoking, he would be in serious trouble. I couldn't help but be curious about how he felt about his 'break up' with Liliana, so I approached him. He didn't look too devastated from my position. "Hey," I said quietly. Jake looked up and smirked. "Hey Janey, you are talking to me first? That's weird," he said. He reached out and touched my arm. I stared at his hand in shock but didn't swat it away. "First time for everything, I guess," I replied. "What's up?" he asked. He tugged me toward him and pulled me closer. "So...you and Liliana are over, huh?" I asked, going straight to the point. "Yup. She turned out to be too fake for me. I couldn't deal with her bitchy attitude," he shrugged. You and I both, buddy, I thought. "I could've told you th

    "Mmm....that feels good. Please don't stop," I moaned. "I don't plan on it," Aaron said and flashed me his sexy grin. Then, he leaned over and kissed me on the neck. "You want me to ravage you, don't you?" he asked and bit my neck. "Yes please," I said and ready to feel him inside of me. "I am gonna fuck you so hard, Janey," he growled. Huh? Since when does Aaron call me Janey? "You are mine, Janey," he said in a deep and husky voice. Wait a minute...something doesn't seem right. This voice...it doesn't sound like Aaron. "Um...Aaron?" I whimpered. The figure on top of me looked up and hovered over my face, and I found myself staring at a pair of deep brown eyes. But Aaron has green eyes, that means... JAKE!? "Aaaaaaaaaaaah!" I screamed and jolted awake. Did I just have a wet dream starring Jake? Fuck no! "UGH gross!" I yelled. "Will you shut up? I'm trying to sleep," Liliana shout

    On the night of the dance, I got ready excitedly. I couldn't wait to see the shocked looks on people's faces when I show up with none other than THE Aaron Morris! I finally felt like a confident queen. I put on the new dress I bought for this special occasion and paired it with some silver strappy heels. I checked myself out. Not bad. I'm sure Aaron would approve. Liliana came out wearing a sexy silver sequin dress. And, of course, she looked gorgeous as always. "Oh, you are going?" I asked casually. "Of course I'm going. Why wouldn't I?" Liliana said irritably. "Who with? I mean, since Jake isn't taking you anymore," I asked. "Yes, he is," she said. "He is!" I was shocked. "I thought you guys had that argument, and he ditched you on the sidewalk, and now you guys hate each other?" I exclaimed. "Um, yea. I am still mad at him for that. But he promised to take me to the dance, and it was too late to find another date. Be

    What the hell is going on? I mean, what in the actual hell is happening? I always thought two boys fighting over me would be a dream come true, but I want to run away to Canada and never look back when it is happening for real. I mean, Aaron said it himself. I was a terrible dancer. So why are they both so obsessed over dancing with me? I don't understand. I saw Liliana by the snack bar and strode over to her. "You crazy hoe, did you put him up to this?" I grabbed her hand and yanked her towards me to get her attention. "What are you talking about?" Liliana looked at me quizzically. "I am talking about Jake. He was trying to force me to dance with him just now," I said. I was flustered from running away from the bad boy duo. "Huh? Really? Why would he want to dance with you? He is my date," Liliana said. "THAT'S WHAT I AM SAYING!" I yelled at her face. "Control your boy, lady," I said. "Jesus Jane, just calm down. I just went t

    Things went back to normal after the trip. No more Trevor vandalizing Aaron's properties and no more ex-boyfriend drama, at least, for now. Aaron gave Bella an awkward apology which she accepted wholeheartedly. It seems that she decided to ignore Aaron's harsh treatments against her and continued to obsess over him despite him having a girlfriend. What a persistent girl! It was near graduation, so Jake and I prepared for college. Jake was taking a year off so he could be with me despite my protests. "We are applying at the same college because you are not allowed to be separated from me," he declared. "Excuse me...don't I have anything to say to this, Mr. Possessive? What if I don't want to go to the same school as you?" I demanded to know. He leaned closer and stared into my eyes intensely. "You don't?" he asked. His brown eyes were dark, and sadness flickered in them. "Don't look at me like that. That's not fair," I whined. "What are you talking about? Look at you like what?" h

    Four of us decided to go to an amusement park. It was a nice day out, perfect for some outdoor activities. "Oh, look! A Ferris wheel. Let's ride that. It'll be so romantic," Macie said enthusiastically. "Booriiing!" Jake and I said at the same time. "We are riding THAT," I said and pointed at a roller coaster that looks like death. Jake nodded in agreement and gave me a high five. Ah...I picked a good one. "Suit yourselves," Aaron said and smirked. We split up and went to our designated rides. Few minutes after the ride was over, we went to look for Aaron and Macie, but they were nowhere to be found. So we walked around for 15 minutes but didn't see them. "Um...should we be worried?" I asked. "Nah, they are adults. If they are lost, that's not our problem," he shrugged. I laughed. "Stop being a jerk and call them!" I exclaimed. "Fine," he grumbled and called Aaron. He put the phone on speaker. "Jake and Jane

    It turned out. My parents hadno problem with Aaron tagging along with his girlfriend. More the merrier, they said. So off we went, onour family trip. Never in my life have I imagined that I would be vacationing with the Morris brothers. Maybe I was in the twilight zone. The ride to my grandma's house went smoothly except for the fact that Liliana glared at Macy once in a while. I guess she still didn't accept the fact that Aaron would date anyone else except for her. A thought flashed in my mind. What if it was Liliana who was doing all these crazy things to Aaron? Nah...no way. She might be a bitch sometimes, but she isn't a psycho. "Stop staring into the distance and pay attention to me," Jake growled in my ear and turned my head to face him. I came along to their hotel to spend time with him since I wasn't allowed to stay in the hotel with him. "What are you thinking about? Is it another guy? I'll kick h

    "I can't believe you went over to her house and asked her questions. You are nuts," Jake remarked when I told him about Bella. "Tell me something I don't know," I rolled my eyes. "So, what do you think of her? Did she seem like a crazy person?" Jake asked me and looked at me curiously. "Nope. Not at all. She seemed like a perfectly sane person. Although, she did admit she still likes Aaron," I said. "Who still likes Aaron?" Aaron walked in. He must've overheard our conversation. "Bella Davis," I said. "And how do you know that?" he raised his eyebrows. "Through her excellent detective skills," Jake replied for me. Aaron shook his head. "She is just so...ugh," his face was turning red. Wait...is he blushing? "I can't believe you managed to avoid her this whole time," Jake chuckled. "I've been very careful," Aaron said. "She is really not that bad. You should give her a chance. And she is so pretty

    "Who would do this!" Macie cried. "I have an idea," I said. Jake looked at me with surprise. "You do?" "Well... it's just a theory but, didn't you say that girl across the street used to stalk Aaron?" I asked. "What girl?" Aaron was confused. I guess he didn't run into his new neighbor yet. "Wait, did you not notice Bella Davis moving in front of us?" Jake smirked. "Sorry, I forgot to tell you." Aaron's eyes went wide as he had just heard the most terrifying news. Man...this Bella chick must be something else. "Please tell me you are joking!" he exclaimed. "I'm not joking, unfortunately for you," Jake said. "She asked me about you and everything!" "Fuck...goddammit," Aaron cursed. "Who is Bella Davis?" Macie asked. She looked confused. I don't blame her. "A total psycho. I can't believe you didn't tell me sooner. I bet this is her handiwork," he said and pointed at the note. "There is no

    I nervously knocked on his bedroom door. I hoped Aaron was telling me the truth and Jake wanted me back as much as I wanted him. "GO AWAY, AARON! I said I don't wanna come out," Jake and from inside. "It.. it's Jane," I said. The door flew open. "Janey!" he cried and threw his arms around me and pulled me into a hug. I buried my face in his chest. "I thought you would never speak to me again after the way I treated you. I'm so sorry," he whispered into my hair. "I'm sorry too. For everything," I said. My eyes were full of tears. It felt too good to be in his arms. "It wasn't your fault Janey. I was a jerk to you and my brother was the biggest idiot on the planet," he reassured me. "I deserve that!"Aaron shouted from another room. I tiptoed and smashed my lips against his. "Ouch!" he cried. Shit, I forgot his nose was messed up. "I'm so sorry!" I yelled. Jake laughed.

  • The Ugly One   36. Misunderstanding

    I pushed Aaron off, but it was a little too late as Jake saw us kissing. I prayed that he didn't misunderstand me. All I wanted was to comfort Aaron because I felt bad for him. "What the fuck are you doing, bro?" Jake demanded to know. "Claiming what should be mine," Aaron said. "I'm not your's, Aaron! Stop saying stuff like that!" I protested. "Why would you let him kiss you, Janey?" Jake looked at me. "I didn't! He kissed me. I was just talking to him, and he..." "You went too far Aaron," Jake turned to Aaron and scowled. "She is my girlfriend. She picked me! Just get over it already. Why can't you just be happy for me?" he said. "Because I'm tired of looking out for you. My whole life, I put your needs before mine. I got into fights with people in school only because you started shit with them and couldn't fight them by yourself! I took blames for you!" Aaron shouted. I guess the rumors were all lies. Aaron wasn't a

  • The Ugly One   35. Dinner with Parents

    On the night of the dinner, I sat in front of Jake and Aaron's parents. The atmosphere was intimidating. "So you are Jake's girlfriend? Jake never brought a girl before, so this is a surprise," Jake's mom Tracy raised her eyebrows at me. What's so surprising about it? I thought but didn't ask. "That's because Jake acts like a fucking asshole all the time, so he never had a real girlfriend," Aaron barked. "Watch your language at the dinner table, son," their father Michael commented. If they only knew I was a hoe and tried to date Aaron first. Yikes. "In case you forgot, big bro, you weren't so angelic yourself," Jake said. I fidgeted nervously. Hopefully, this dinner doesn't turn into some kind of brotherly dual. For once, I want a peaceful night. "At least I admit my faults. But, unfortunately, you are still an immature jerk who takes things that didn't belong to him," Aaron's face was slowly turning red as he was getting angry.

    I felt like it was all my fault for creating this messy situation. I shouldn't have gone out with Aaron to spite Liliana. He was an amazing guy, and he deserved better. I hoped this situation wouldn't mess up the relationship between the two brothers. "What are you thinking about?" Jake asked me. We were hanging out at Jake's front yard after school. "Aaron," I said and sipped on my juice distractedly. "You have the audacity to think about my brother when I am sitting right in front of you?" he remarked. "It's not what you think," I said irritably. "I just feel so bad. He had been nothing but a sweetheart to me, and look at what I did. I sighed. Jake moved closer and kissed me on the cheek. "You did nothing wrong. He is just throwing a mini tantrum because I got the best girl." his eyes were sparkling. I blushed. I couldn't be too mad at my decision. Jake is a cutie patootie. "JAAAAKE!" I almost spit my juice out when I heard a
