"Does it really matter? Don't I look good my cheerleader outfit?"I asked, and twirled around while he looked at me.
"Yeah, you always do." He said and removed my hands from his shoulders slowly and held my hand. "Let's go." He said and I feigned a smile. We started walking. He's really something else. Doesn't he feel anything for me? I mean, I'm very close to him, we make body contacts but he's still not into me
We got to the basketball court and I walked to the cheerleaders.
After the practice, I quickly changed back to my uniform and went after J.
"I'm coming with you." I said and he shrugged. We walk silently to his car. We got in and he started driving. I disliked the silence.
"So..." I said and he glanced at me and back at the road. "I really thought Kyla would watch you practice today. Doesn't she miss you?"I asked.
"Of course she does, but she has other things to do."he said.
"More important than you? Well I think she's neglecting you. I mean, you only hang out during lunch break."I said.
"I won't say she's neglecting me. She wants to be with me as much as I want to be with her, but there's no time. It's fine though."he said.
"Yeah, she's always glued to her book. I'm not saying it's a bad thing but if I were in her shoes, I won't miss out the chance to be with you. That's what a good girlfriend should do. I know if you go home, you'll feel lonely. She's supposed to be with you."I said subtly, looking at him to see his reaction. He spoke after sometime.
"That's just how she is, Vi. It's no big deal." He said.
" It is J, it's a big deal. Just take a look at Mitch and Crystal, they're always together. I'm not trying to paint Kyla bad, but you're my best friend and I want you to be happy, ok."I said and the car came to a stop. I looked around and noticed we were already at my house. "Just think this through, ok?" I said and pecked him before getting down from the car. "Bye." I said.
"Bye." He smiled and drove off. I'm sure he's gonna think deeply about what I said. He always do.
JEREMY'S P.O.V
I continue driving along the road. Everything Violet said started creeping into my mind. Is it really true that Kyle is neglecting me? No, it can't be. She really wants to be with me, I'm the one that has always been busy. But she should have stayed with me during the practice. Ugh. What am I thinking?
I parked the car and I came out. I walked inside. My parents were watching a movie in the living room.
"Hi mum, hi Dad." I said.
"Welcome J-boy, how was school?"mum asked.
" It was ok."I said and walked to the refrigerator and took a bottled water.
"Are you feeling alright?" Mum asked.
"Yeah, just tired."I said. My mind was on Kyle. I walked upstairs to my room. I had a brief shower and wore some casuals. I sat on my bed and dialed Kyle's number, she picked, almost immediately and I clicked on video call.
"Hi handsome." She said with a sweet smile. She was wearing a pink singlet and a jean bum shorts.
"How are you?" I asked.
"I'm cool. You arrived home already?"she asked.
"Yup, I'm so tired."I said.
"Awwn..so sorry. I hope you've had something to eat."she said in concern.
" Not yet babe."I said with a smile.
"But you have to eat something." She said. I opened my bag and took out a chocolate chip and I showed it to her.
"I'm having something." I said and she sighed.
"That's not food, it's just snacks." She said.
" It doesn't matter."I said and she rolled her eyes.
" Whatever.. How did practice go?" She asked.
" It was ok."I said and was tempted to ask her to stay with me tomorrow during practice.
"That's cool. How are your parents?" She asked.
"Why don't you like staying with me during practice?"I blurted out without thinking, ignoring her question about my parents.
"What?" She asked, sounding surprised. "Do you want me to watch you during practice?" She asked and I shrugged.
"Yeah, I guess. It would give us time to be together."I said. She stared at me for some time.
"If you want me to stay with you during practice, then I will."she said with a soft smile.
"Really?"I asked.
"Of course. You just had to say it nicely, not how you just blurted it out like I was against it." she said. Oh, I probably went too far.
"I'm sorry it came out like that. Thanks cutie."I said and smiled.
"No need for the thanks."she said.
"Ok, see you tomorrow. Love you so much."I said.
" I love you too, bye."she said and winked at me before hanging up. Maybe Violet was wrong after all. Kyle isn't neglecting me, she's just the best.

KYLA'S P.O.V
I woke up the next morning, feeling a bit stressed because I read most of the night. I glanced at the table clock. It was 6.30am. I lazily got up and went to the bathroom. I had my bath and came out. The laundry maid already brought my school uniform. I wore it after drying my hair. I sat at my dressing-table and stared at myself in the mirror. I raised my hair up. I wonder how I would look if I packed my hair in a ponytail. I brushed it and packed it up. I looked good. I smiled to myself. I wore my earrings and stood up. I took my phone and bag and went downstairs. I focused my gaze on my phone, staring at the pictures Daisy sent me of her room over at England.
"Lorraine, please get me breakfast." I said as I scrolled through the pictures.
"Hey beautiful." Someone said. I raised my head just to see Jeremy. I gasped in surprise. I ran to him.
"Oh my God, what are you doing here? I mean, you didn't inform me you were coming."I said, embracing him.
" I wanted to surprise you."he said and I embraced him.
" It's nice to see you here." I said and refrained from him. "Let's have breakfast together." I said and pulled him to the dining table. We both sat down. Lorraine brought out breakfast and we ate. I glanced at him but he wasn't eating much.
"Babe, why aren't you eating much?" I asked.
"Watching my weight."he said and I smiled.
"Really? ok." I said. After eating, we left for school.
