My dad let me stay home Wednesday and Thursday, but Friday - no.
I was downstairs in the kitchen eating lucky charms when Noah came down the stairs.
"Hey y/n." He greeted. I looked at him.
"Goodmorning, Noah." I greeted back.
The last two days I hadn't left my room. Though Noah and I were on good terms again, it was still a bit awkward between us.
Hector came down the stairs, acting all mature.
"Good morning, brother and sister." He said.
"Morning, Hector," I said, "can I get a hug? Or are you too mature?" I asked.
Hector smiled and hugged me.
Noah smiled at me and I gave him a smile back.
"Should I give you guys a ride?" Noah asked. I shook my head.
"No thanks, I'm meeting up with Jaden." I answered.
Yes, me and Jaden had been talking while I was "sick" and away from school.
Noah laughed and smirked.
"Sooo, you and Jaden?" he asked and I laughed.
"No way, he's my friend!" I said.
-7.00 am-
I left home and went over to Jaden's house. I knocked on the front door, and not long after, I saw Jaden open it.
"Hi, Jaden!" I said.
Jaden began to laugh.
"I'm not Jaden, my name is Javon - I'm Jaden's twin." he said.
My face turned red.
"I'm so so sorry! I'm y/n." I exclaimed. Javon smiled.
"It's totally fine, it's not the first time I've heard that. Nice name though."
I could hear Jaden stumbling through the entrance.
"Bye, mom!" I heard him say as he approached me.
"Oh, I see you've met my twin Javon." He said and smiled.
"Yeah." I said, smiling at Javon.
I could clearly see the height difference between the two of them - Jaden was clearly taller.
"Goodbye, Javon!" Jaden said.
"Bye Jaden, bye y/n!" He answered before he closed the door.
"So, uh, why isn't Javon going to school? Is he sick?" I asked. Jaden smiled.
"Oh no no, he's just homeschooled." He said. "Oh okay, cool." I said.
-7.20 am-
We arrived at school and people were giving us dirty looks.
"WE AREN'T TOGETHER, PEOPLE, CHILL!" Jaden yelled. Everyone instantly turned around.
I laughed and gave Jaden a smile.
"Thank you" I said.
"No problem. People need to behave; that shit ain't helping." He said and glared at the people around us.
As me and Jaden were talking and walking down the hallway, a girl came toward us...
it was no one other than Mimi.
"Y/n? Can we talk?" She asked. I gave her a dirty look, but ended up agreeing.
"Fine." I said in a cold tone.
Me and Mimi walked towards the study hall as Jaden yelled.
"Y/n! Let's meet at lunch!" I turned around and nodded.
We had now arrived in the study hall; we found the nearest table and sat down. I looked at her with a serious face.
"So?" I said. She cleared her throat.
"I'm so sorry, y/n, for telling Ava about Jackson! And I just made up he was in town because I snooped through your phone. I am so sorry! But I just wanted to tell you that Ava told me that you hated me and just used me... That's why I did it. I understand if you don't want to be my friend anymore." She said.
I looked at her in complete shock as I said,
"First of all, you were snooping through my phone?!
Second of all how the fuck do you know my password?
And lastly, you're really believing her, like, without checking up on what fucking bullshit she's saying about me?" I exclaimed.
I was in shock. Do friends do that? I think the fuck not.
I was so mad that I ended up storming out of the study hall. I could hear Mimi's voice in the distance.
"Y/n! Please just-" She stopped her sentence. I'm happy she finally closed that big mouth of hers. I did feel kinda sad because Ava did manipulate her, but Mimi should've known better.
-12 pm-
I was currently sitting at a table, alone, eating some fries and waiting for Jaden. He was standing in the queue and hadn't seen me yet.
A couple minutes, later he spotted me and sat next to me.
"Hey y/n, sorry it took so long. The queue was long... So, how did it go with Mimi?" Jaden asked as he stuffed his mouth with food.
"Well, I didn't forgive her. I found out that Ava had manipulated her, but Mimi literally fell for it..." I said as I buried my head in my hands.
"Y/n, you need to forgive her." Jaden began in a calm voice. "After all, she is your best friend, and it wasn't just her - all this bullshit is Ava's fault."
I rolled my eyes.
"Jaden, you don't understand. She took 'revenge' and shared my personal information." I said. "Y/n, just please consider it." Jaden said, giving me a smile before he left the table.
Dumb mf really left me here alone.
I took my phone up and called my real bestie.
"Hey, Y/n!"
"Hey, Isa."
"How are you?"
"I'm in trouble. A girl named Ava is spreading false information about me and a guy named Jaden."
"Ouch.. Damn, remember that girl 'Sophia' that went to our school?"
"Yeah."
"She left the school 2 weeks ago because a rumor started."
"What?"
"Yuh, her best friend told everyone she slept with her boyfriend."
"Best friend? You mean Leah!?"
"YEAH!!"
"Since when did Leah get a boyfriend?"
"She.... Uhm.." Isabella hesitated.
"Speak!" I whisper yelled.
"Okay, okay. Well, she got with Jackson a couple weeks ago..." Isabella said, almost whispering it.
"And you didn't tell me?!"
"No, I thought it wasn't necessary. And by the way, he became a player since you left him; he is so desperate... like Anthony from Bridgerton!" Isabella said.
I chuckled.
"I want to hear more about that later, bye for now." I said as I hung up.
I took my tray up to the canteen and began walking to Math class.
-3 pm-
Jaden had a game today, so I was watching the baseball team getting ready. I wrote to my Dad, Noah and Hector in our group chat.
"Hello, everyone! Please come to the baseball game to support the wolves." I wrote before sending it. About 10 minutes later, my Dad responded.
"I'm so sorry, y/n, we can't attend. I have to go to the Cinema with Hector, and Noah is out on a date ;)"
Noah, a date?! And he didn't even care to tell me. Man, this guy.
I wrote back, "Okay, then it's just going to be me and Jaden's family."
-5 pm-
Jaden's family arrived and I spotted Javon. He spotted me too and waved at me.
"Hey y/n!" He said and sat down beside me.
"Hey there, Javon. Could you please introduce me to your family?" I asked. He nodded.
"This is Jayla, my older sister." He said as a pretty girl turned to me.
"Hey! Y/n right? Jaden told the whooooooole family about you." She said.
"This is Daelo, or Mumps as we call him, and he is, as you can see, our younger brother." Javon said and smiled. Daelo simply smiled at me before turning back to the baseball field. He looked really amazed.
"And lastly, these are my parents." Javon said, pointing at a strong guy, almost like The Rock, and an extremely pretty lady.
"Hey there, y/n? I hope I said your name correctly. I'm Jessica, but you can just call me Jess." She said - I already loved her.
"And I'm Dj, nice to meet you, kid." Dj said. He also seemed very nice. All these people I just met made me feel safe.
"Nice to meet the whole tribe! I'm sorry my family couldn't be here... other plans. But Jaden's game starts in 5 minutes!" I said excitedly, and they all began to clap.
"GO JADEN!!!" Jayla yelled, and so the game began.
-6 pm-
The game was done and the wolves won. Hurray!!
As they hugged and celebrated on the field, Jaden ran towards Javon and hugged him, then Jayla, Daelo, Jessica, and Dj. He came towards me as I said, "Great game Jae, proud of you."
I gave him a big smile, and then he hugged me tight.
He looked me in my eyes as he let go of me. Our intense eye contact got interrupted by Daelo.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go home." He said. Javon looked at us and smirked.
-7 pm-
I got home - Dad and Hector were also home, but not Noah.
"Hi dad, where's Noah?" I asked.
"Welcome home sweetie, he is at a party." He smiled.
We ate really late dinner, but it was just frozen pizza. As my dad went on a walk with Rocky, I cleaned the table as Hector went to bed.
I brushed my teeth and went to bed too.
As I was resting in my bed, I couldn't stop thinking about Jaden. Were we only friends? Or could we be more?
I came to the conclusion that I shouldn't worry about it and just focus on our friendship.
My eyes felt heavy and I finally fell asleep.
