3 months later...
Melody's POV
The bell rang, signaling the end of the day. I exited my English class with JJ beside me. We were talking and laughing about silly and random things.
"How are things with you and your boyfriend?" JJ asked, mocking me.
"He's not my boyfriend." I growled.
I wish he was though. It didn't take me long to develop a crush on him. I mean, what girl wouldn't. I can't stop thinking about him. Whenever we're alone together, I just wanna kiss him.
That kiss we had a few months ago was amazing. I just wish the sparks I felt would happen again and again. I'm crushing on Gilinsky. Hard.
"Do you like him?" JJ asked me. Yes. Of course I do.
I always get butterflies when I'm around him. He's not like any guy I've met. If any guy tries to hit on me, he's there to defend me. Anytime I'm upset, he's there to cheer me up.
His smile is so contagious and his laugh is so cute. His deep brown eyes, and sharp jawline are like ugh. Whenever he touches me, I feel sparks like the Fourth of July.
"I do." I told him.
"I knew it, Mel. You always look at him with this light in your eyes." JJ chuckled.
"Please don't tell him though, ok?" I pleaded.
"Don't worry, I gotchu." He said and side hugged me. "I have to go, I'll see you soon." He told me. I nodded and waved as he walked away.
I opened my locker and put my textbooks inside. I pulled out my bag and closed my locker again. I was about to walk out of the building until the she devil approached me.
Her heels clicked against the floors of the hallway. She was wearing clothes that were way too revealing to be wearing in school, but who even follows rules anymore.
She hates my guts because she thinks I'm trying to take Jack from her. I'm really not, though, but I could have him anytime I want. Madison finally approached me and got so close to my face that I had to back up because that breath was nasty.
"Listen here, bitch." She hissed at me. "Stay away from, Jack. He's my man. If you don't, I will ruin you. I will make your life here so miserable, you'd wish you were dead." She hissed. I was trying so hard not to breathe. Her breath smelled really bad.
"First of all, I can't really take you seriously if your breath smells like ass. Second, Jack's not your man. He doesn't want you. You're just a clingy ex who can't get over him and move on." I pinched my nose. She gasped and I just walked away.
I went out towards Jack's car. He was leaning against it, talking to Nate, Sammy, Cam, and Kelly. I approached them.
"Hey guys." I greeted.
"Hey girl." Kelly greeted me with a hug. Kelly and I have become really good friends. She's so nice and caring. I love her.

The six of us chatted for a few minutes until Jack ended the conversation.
"Alright guys, I'll see you later. I gotta go take this one home." Jack said, referring to me. I rolled my eyes. We exchanged our goodbyes and they walked away. "How was your day, baby girl?" He asked me. Jack wrapped his arm around my waist and led me to the passenger seat.
"Same like always. Madison tried to threaten me." I said and he laughed.
"Don't worry about it. She's actually threatened by you." He said.
"Probably." I agreed. He opened the door for me and I sat inside. He closed the door and went around the front to sit in the driver's seat, then pulled out of the school parking lot and onto the road.

Jack pulled up in front of my house.
"Thanks." I thanked him and started to get out.
"Aren't you gonna invite me in?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.
"You ask me this everyday. My answer will always be 'no'." I rolled my eyes.
"But I drive you to school and home almost everyday. And you've been to my house many times." He challenged.
"Fine." I groaned, giving in. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him smirking. I got out of his car and went up the stairs to my house.
My mom wasn't home yet so we're basically alone for about thirty minutes. I opened the door with my key and pushed the door open.
"Your house looks nice." Jack complimented.
"Thanks." I mumbled. I put my bag on the floor and went to the bathroom to wash my hands.
"Woooah! Who's that?!" I heard Jack gasp. I exited the bathroom and looked at what he was referring to. He was gaping at a selfie Dina took of us before I moved.
(pretend that's Melody [red] and Dina [black])
"That's my best friend, Dina." I told him with a smile.
I spoke to Dina yesterday. She told me she was dating this guy named Trevor. They've been together for about 2 months. She seems to really like him. She introduced me to him and he seems like a nice guy. I made him swear that he wouldn't hurt Dina in any way.
"Both of you are fucking hot. We could probably have a threesome. Or a foursome with Johnson." He chuckled. I cringed. The fact that he actually said that disgusted me.
"Not gonna happen." I scoffed.
"Alright. How about just you and me then?" He asked. I shook my head. The only reason this is making me uncomfortable is because I'm still a virgin.
"I'm going upstairs to change. Help yourself to anything in the fridge." I told him.
"Cool, thanks." He answered and went towards my kitchen. I took my things upstairs and entered my room. I put them on the floor near my bed and pulled off my sweater. I also pulled off my vans and jeans.
"Hey MJ, do you have any--? god damn." I whipped my head around and shrieked, seeing Jack in the doorway.
"I told you I was fucking changing." I hissed through gritted teeth.
"Maybe you should've closed the door." He shrugged and shielded his eyes. I ignored his comment and went towards my drawer and slipped on a pair of leggings, and a tank top. I put my hair up into a messy bun.
"You can look now." I told him.
"I didn't look away." He smirked and went downstairs. I rolled my eyes again. I followed him down and into the kitchen. "You have any beer?" He asked me.
"I have root beer." I answered.
"No, like actual beer." He said.
"Why would I have beer? I'm only 17." I told him.
"So. Don't you have parents that drink?" He asked.
"My mom only drinks outside of the house." I shrugged.
"What about your dad?" He asked again. I turned around and looked at him. I hesitated to answer. I obviously don't like talking to him.
"Well?"
"I-I don't like talking about him." I hung my head down.
"Why? What happened?" Jack asked.
"He left me and my mom when I was one." I said, looking up at Jack. He swiped at my cheek with his thumb, and that's when I realized I was crying. I let all my tears fall as I started to sob.
"Hey, hey. It's ok, baby girl." He cooed into my ear as he pulled me into his chest. I cried into his shirt, gripping it tightly. "It's ok." Jack whispered, rubbing my back.
"He took my brother and sister away from me. I haven't seen them in years." I sobbed even harder. Jack continued to whisper soothing things into my ear. It calmed me down after a while. I peeled away from him, seeing that his shirt was soaked. "I'm sorry." I apologized, sniffling and wiping my tears.
"It's fine. I'm sorry for bringing up that subject." He hugged me again.
"It's not your fault. You didn't know." I mumbled. Next thing you know, he pulled off his shirt, making my eyes widen in complete shock and awe.
"Woah." I gasped, staring at Jack's perfectly toned chest.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." He said. I looked up at him blushing, watching the smirk form onto his face again. Next thing you know, his pecs bounced. I shrieked in surprise, making myself and Jack laugh.
"How'd you do that?" I giggled.
"It's a gift." He shrugged.
"Do it again." I urged him. I put my hand on his chest and he did it again, making me shriek again and pull my hand away quickly. "That's dope!" I giggled, he looked at me funny and I just gave him a sheepish smile.
"You're really something, Jenson." He said.
"You are too, Gilinsky." I mocked him.
"Melody, I'm home!" I heard my mom shout.
"I'm in the kitchen, mom!" I called back. Soon, I heard heels clicking in our direction.
"Hi, sweetie. Who's this?" My mom smiled at Jack after greeting me.
"I'm Jack Gilinsky." Jack introduced himself and shook my mom's hand.
"Mel, were you crying?" My mom asked me, holding my chin.
"No." I answered, and at the same time Jack said,
"Yes." My mom gave us a look and shrugged.
"Why are you shirtless, hun?" She asked Jack.
"She was crying so I calmed her down, but she soaked my shirt." He answered. My mom nodded.
"Are you Melody's boyfriend or something?" She asked. My eyes widened.
"Mom, he's not my boyfriend!" I shrieked.
"Ouch, babe." Jack said in mock hurt, placing his hand on his chest.
"You two are something. I'll leave you alone to do whatever it is you were doing." My mom chuckled and left.
"You like me, don't you." Jack said as soon as she was out of earshot. Fuck. Is it that obvious?
"I do not. What makes you say that?" I lied.
"Yea, you do. You're drooling over me being shirtless right now." He said and got a tissue, wiping something on my bottom lip. I snatched the tissue from him and crumpled it tossing it into the waste basket. As soon as I turned around, Jack was right in front of me and pushed me up against the wall.
"Jack." I whispered as he attached his lips to my neck. He swirled his tongue all over my neck until he got to my sweet spot. My breath hitched.
He removed his lips from my neck and attached our lips together. I kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck. He placed one hand on my hip and the other grabbed my ass. I giggled, making him smirk into my lips.
The kiss turned into a make out very quickly. I felt him getting hard and soon realized how far this could go. He tried to stick his hand into my leggings, but I stopped him. It didn't wanna go that far.
"Relax." He cooed into my lips before putting his hand back into my leggings. As soon as he touched my sensitive spot, I moaned out, not expecting to be turned on so quickly.
I felt him smirk into my lips and he started to rub me, my breaths getting shallower. I felt my knees giving in and I buckled, but he held me up so I didn't fall.
"Oh my god." I sighed as his lips left mine and attached to my neck, kissing all over and sucking lightly. I started to shake as I felt myself come undone moments later.
Oh wow. I sighed in bliss, my body still shaking slightly. He rubbed a little more, making me shiver again.
"So, how was that?" He asked me, pulling his hand out. "It's the best you've ever had, right?" He asked me. I felt my cheeks heat up.
"I— uh. I've never done this before." I told him, out of breath.
"Wait, what?" His eyes widened.
"This is my first time." I answered.
"You mean you're a virgin?" He asked, surprised. I looked down in shame. Now he's probably going to tell the whole school and I'll be humiliated again.
"Yeah." I whispered.
"Shit. Umm. I, uh, have to go." Jack apologized, using his hand to cover his bulge.
"Jack..."
"No, MJ. Just stay away from me." He said and stepped away from me and picked up his shirt, pulling it back on, then left my house. Just like that. Now things will be really awkward between us. Great. Just great. 😐
