Chapter 13
As I looked up from the shoe rack I saw him… and he was with none other than Jade. Oh sure, I expected to see them together somewhere. The thing that I didn’t expect was this jealous feeling I got in the pit of my stomach. It wouldn’t have made me jealous to just see them, but I didn’t just see them. No, I saw them with his arm around her. Jade was giggling and Teddy was smiling. He looked so happy with her. I must have had a confused look on my face, because Zealand was looking at me like I was crazy.
“Earth calling Jess… anybody home?”
“Huh? Sorry… got a little distracted.”
“I can see that,” she said as she looked up and saw Teddy with Jade as well. “Oh, now I see what your issue was.”
“Yeah well, I guess the jealousy bug bit me sooner than I thought it would.”
“I thought you said he told you he wasn’t that into her anymore.”
“He did… hence the look of confusion on my face,” I laughed. “Oh well, what he does with her is his business… we’re just friends.”
“Bet ya five bucks he doesn’t even acknowledge our existence,” Zealand said, with a laugh.
“I’ll take that bet, because I know Teddy’s not rude enough to not even say hi,” I added, shaking her outstretched hand.
“You’re gonna regret it, but for your sake I hope I’m wrong.”
“Hey Teddy,” I said as Teddy and Jade walked past us.
Nothing. Not even a head nod to acknowledge that I’d even spoken. He didn’t even make eye contact with me either. It was like I was invisible. I’ve never felt like such an idiot in my life.
I should’ve never taken that bet. I can be so stupid sometimes.
“Sorry, but it looks like you owe me five bucks,” Zealand said as I looked longingly at Teddy while he and Jade walked away. He looked back once, but it didn’t help. At this point I was disappointed in him and had nothing to do but go back to shopping with Zealand and try to forget what had just happened. I had to forget about my feelings for him, because he would obviously never have them for me.
Teddy’s POV
I thought going to the mall with Jade today was going to be it. I was finally going to break up with her. Then, one of the worst things that could happen did. I was about to walk into a shoe store because Jade said she needed some new shoes for a wedding she had to go to. Suddenly, I looked up and saw Jessica and her best friend Zealand standing inside the very store we were headed towards.
All of the sudden, I felt like I had to act affectionate towards Jade so Jessica would see how happy I was. I don’t know why I felt that way, because I know I’d already told her how unhappy I was… but right now that didn’t matter.
After hanging out with Jessica these past couple of days, I was truly regretting not getting to know her sooner. Maybe I wouldn’t have made the mistake of going out with Jade in the first place. She was a nice person and everything, but I just didn’t feel about her the way I was beginning to feel about a certain someone else.
For some reason, I feel like it’s pointless to like Jessica, because I know she doesn’t feel that way about me. After all, she likes Jakob… or did. I assumed she still liked him the way she didn’t want to talk about him during our day long conversation about our lives.
As we walked into the store, I wrapped my arm around Jade in an attempt to make Jessica jealous. I also tried to match Jade’s excitement by plastering a fake grin on my face. The confused look I noticed on Jessica’s face made me just as confused, but I couldn’t let that show. Was she jealous? I hoped so.
Last night when we had dinner at my house, I began to realize how great of a person she truly was. I saw past the tough front that she put up for the rest of the world… and she seemed to get along with my family really well. The way they were acting, you’d have thought she was part of the family. After I came back from walking her back home, I sat in my room and couldn’t help but replay everything that had just happened that day. I was glad I made that bet with her… it guaranteed that I’d be able to hang out with her a couple more times… which was a good thing in my book. I couldn’t wait to spend more time getting to know her. One good thing was that my mom really liked her. I can’t say the same for her opinion of Jade, which kind of made me think. My mom was a really good judge of character… so why did she have to like the girl next door that I was kinda crushing on as opposed to the girl I was supposed to like, my girlfriend?
As we walked past with our arms around each other, I noticed Jessica smile, and I could hear her trying to get my attention… but for some reason I decided to not even look in her direction. I know it was a mean thing to do, but I couldn’t let Jade see what I was feeling for Jessica, and if I said hi back, I’d probably turn into a rambling idiot and it would be obvious how I felt.
When we walked past and I didn’t flinch, I could tell she was disappointed. Why did I do that? Seriously? I was such an idiot. She’ll probably hate me forever now, but I just had to believe that she wouldn’t completely stop hanging out with me over one stupid little thing like this. I slightly turned my head around to look at her after I’d totally ignored her, and she was staring right at me with a disappointed look on her face. Man… I felt like a total jerk now.
“What’s back there hun?” Jade asked me, pulling me back to reality.
“Oh nothing, I just thought I saw someone from school, but I was wrong,” I stated bluntly.
“Oh okay, well I’m kinda tired. Wanna take me home?”
“Sure. I’m tired of this place anyway. We all know how much I love shopping,” I added sarcastically.
I drove Jade home thinking about everything that I had done today and how I was probably going to have to fix it with Jessica tomorrow. I could only hope that she would forgive me. I decided I’d just have to leave the whole breaking up with Jade deal for later. After all, I could be wrong about her. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

Chapter 14
As I sat at home in my room listening to music, there were so many thoughts going through my mind. I really thought Teddy had changed. We were having so much fun the day before at his house, and I didn’t expect things to be like this today.
Zealand knew I was upset after seeing Teddy, so we decided to leave the mall once she paid for the shoes she had found. She offered to stay with me, but I just needed to be alone for awhile.
I had put my iTunes on shuffle and decided to just listen to whatever song came up… anything to take my mind off today’s events. So far, the music wasn’t helping… every song I’d heard reminded me of Teddy. Then, a great Simple Plan song began to come through the speakers.
‘Maybe, I’m just not good enough for you And maybe, I just don’t wanna be like you And maybe I just don’t wanna know How low you’re ready to go I’m not gonna change, you can’t make me
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t You don’t mean anything to me You don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t You don’t mean anything to me You’re what I never wanna be’
For some reason, that song made me feel a little better. It just seemed so fitting to everything that I was feeling. Teddy could never be anything to me and I just had to accept that. I really thought he was different, but I guess I was wrong yet again. I turned up the volume and started dancing and singing along with the music, hoping tomorrow would bring bigger and better things for me.
Teddy’s POV
I had just gotten back from taking Jade home and didn’t feel like talking to anyone. My mom was in a great mood, which made me feel even worse.
“Teddy, when’s that nice girl from next door… uh… Jessica, coming back over here? I really liked her.”
“Mom, she was just here yesterday… and I don’t wanna talk about her,” I stated bluntly. “I’m going up to my room for awhile.”
“Okay fine, but dinner will be ready in an hour.”
“Okay Mom.”
I climbed the stairs to my room and turned on some music. I just needed something to help me figure out what I was feeling. After some time passed with songs that really didn’t help, I began to hear a voice that had always inspired me before.
‘I don’t get many things right the first time In fact, I am told that a lot’
Ben Folds’ ‘The Luckiest’ began playing. I stopped and listened to the words… really listened. It was like he was singing about me. I had never been able to relate to this song before, until today it seemed. I knew that I had screwed up. I couldn’t go on and not be friends with Jessica. She was a breath of fresh air in my stale life. I couldn’t lose this person who had quickly become someone important to me… I just couldn’t. I decided there was only one thing I could do. I had to use the promise she made to me to get her to hang out with me again.
I looked out my window to see if she was even home. Sure enough, she was in her room. But, she was dancing. Hmm… she certainly didn’t seem upset. The only thing I knew when I saw her today was that she was upset. But now… I didn’t know what to think. The only thing I could do was call her.
-----
I was truly feeling better about Teddy ignoring me today. For once I finally knew what he was really feeling. As I danced around my room to the liberating words sung by Simple Plan, my cell phone began to ring.
I stopped dancing and walked over to see who it was. Caller ID showed it was Teddy, and I sure wasn’t going to answer it. I looked over in the direction of his window, just to see if he was there. Crap, he was standing right at his window watching me watch him. I threw my phone aside, turned to him, and shrugged. There was no way I was gonna give in that easily. He really didn’t expect me to answer the first time he called right?
Teddy tried calling me five times. Yep, I counted… lame I know. I sat my phone down yet again and I hoped that he had finally given up trying to get me to answer. Not much later, my phone started vibrating, indicating I had a new voicemail. I decided it couldn’t hurt to listen to it. But first, I made sure Teddy wasn’t standing at his window. As I listened, I started to feel a little bad for ignoring his calls. Wasn’t that the very thing that had made me so upset with him in the first place… that he had ignored me? But I had a right to be angry… didn’t I?
“Hey Jess, it’s Teddy. I just wanted to say that I’m really sorry about what happened today. I just couldn’t be myself with Jade right there. I hope you can understand that. But that’s not the only reason I was calling. If you really wanna know what I was going to tell you, then you’ll have to call me back. Anytime… I don’t care when it is… just call me. Alright… I’ll talk to you later.”
How could he always do that? He always found a way to spike my curiosity or get my attention in one way or another. I sat there for a bit longer, and looked at the clock. It was 10pm. He had to be awake, but I wasn’t sure if I should call. But when the guilt mixed with curiosity finally got the best of me, I dialed his cell phone.
