The rest classes were all the same, teachers being strict, Cole and Katniss rolling their eyeballs at each other each time their gaze met, scoffing each time they crossed path...
Jayden and Ashley took the responsibility to end this but at any trial, both would walk out. It was so childish.
"How are they gonna love each other if they continue like this?" Jayden asked when he got frustrated.
DING-DONG
The bell tinkled, that was the dismissal bell.
The four stood at the door leading out of the school hall.
"Are you guys ready to let this go now?" Jayden asked looking at the both of them.
They averted their gazes else where.
"Goodbye!" Katniss said and walked away, Ashley ran after her.
"Where's she going? I could've dropped her off." Cole pointed.
"Do you even have a brain?" Jayden asked.
"Don't scold me, I-"
"Shut up!"
"Really man, I lit-"
"Shut up!"
"This is what I get for-"
"Shut the fuck up man! Don't you ever stop talking? Shut-the-fuck-up!!!" Jayden was furious.
"Am I talking?"
"God! Shut that hole! You were on track a while ago but you didn't have to push the fact that you helped her," Jayden said,"It made her feel like you didn't want to and that's the thing with girls, they'll never agree that something happened so you have to agree with them."
"No!"
"Yesss!!"
"She lied about it!"
"No, she didn't want a fight between Ashley and Maddie."
"That's what I was looking forward to," Cole shrugged.
"Shut-the-fuck-up!"
Cole sighed.
"Explain to me how's she's going to like you when you're being too proud of yourself,"
"I wasn't being proud,"
"Don't argue with me!" Jayden's voice rose.
Cole nodded without a word.
"We're trying to help you and look at what you're doing,"
"I didn't mean to-"
"Tell that to Katniss at her house tonight,"
"I'm not going!"
Those words sounded like a joke to Jayden because he's gonna be the one listening to Cole's whine about Katniss.
Jayden smacked Cole's head in anger.
"Hey!" Cole frowned, touching the spot.
"I want a feedback tomorrow!" Jayden said and walked away.
Like love was by force...
•••
Ashley pulled Katniss to the courtyard to talk for a while.
"Why are you walking home? You could've let Jayden drop you off or Cole instead."
"No, thank you."
"Should I call your mom?"
"Don't bother, she's at work."
