Chapter 8

Daniel's POV

I can't believe she said that to me, even if it is true. At least I don't hide it and pretend like I'm some little miss innocent who then goes around trying to play two guys at the same time. To think that I was actually considering helping her and Jonas date! God! She's so fucking annoying. Why the hell did I even agree to this deal?

I push Allison off me as she tries to climb into my lap and light a cigarette instead.

“ Daniel ” she whines annoying me. “ what's wrong? You haven't been acting normal since you came back from the game. ” she says rubbing my chest as I lay on my bed letting out rings of smoke.

Normally I'd be turned on by this but now I just find it annoying.

“ you won ” she says trying to slide over me but I pull away instead. “ we should celebrate. ” she says making her voice sound sultry and enticing but strangely it's not doing anything for me.

“ I think you should leave. ” I tell her as I stand up wanting to leave my dark themed room behind and go shower.

But I'm brought to a halt when I hear the next words that Allison utters.

“ I can't believe you Daniel. All you want to do is fuck that tight assed bitch Veronica. ” Allison says with venom.

An image suddenly comes to mind, Veronica in short shorts, standing by her closet with all those luscious curves spilling out in the right places and all of a sudden I'm hard. I can't help but wonder just how tight she might just be.

Fuck!

I can't believe I'm attracted to Veronica, just great. Now I need a cold shower.

I ignore Allison and head into the bathroom like I'd initially planned. The sound of my door slamming shut comes through to me despite the sound of water cascading down my body and for that I'm glad. Now I can think in peace.

I most definitely don't want anything to do with Veronica and as much as I'd like to deny it, we're starting to become friends. I know I was too harsh on her today. The Veronica I have come to know would never do what I'd accused her of. I'll have to apologize first thing on Monday and actually help her get together with Jonas even if she is an idiot for wanting to date him. Jonas is my best friend and that is why I know he doesn't deserve Veronica. Veronica deserves someone who'd actually care about her not Jonas all he cares about is how soon he can get laid. He might be a great football player and friend but as a boyfriend he'd suck. I know it, he knows it. He just doesn't have it in him to become that mature, at least not yet. But if he's what she wants. Then he's what she'll get. I just hope he isn't too much of an idiot to not realize what is in front of him.

***

The entire weekend, I try to keep my mind off Veronica but she pops up when I'd least expect. Like when I'm eating ice cream, I remember that Veronica loves strawberry ice cream. When I'm listening to Kendrick Lamar, I remember that Veronica loves rap music and has this unhealthy obsession with Shawn Mendes, as well as different Korean pop groups such as BTS, EXO, black pink, TXT, I could name more and suddenly I find myself singing ‘ make it right ’ by BTS.

Great, now I'm stuck on her songs. Like the attraction wasn't enough. Well you did it to yourself!

God that last line sounds so much like her in my head.

The weekend moves on painfully slow with thoughts of Veronica in my head.

Monday comes and the girl who is usually everywhere can't even be found, not even her evil minion friend, Lilly. It's lunch break and I've just about given up. I'm heading to the cafeteria to gorge on some apple pie - sometimes you've got to love this school - when I feel a sharp pain at the back of my head and black out immediately.
