Chapter 8: It's None Of You Damn Fucking Business

Jasper's shocked face snapped to me after hearing Daisy's words, but I just rolled my eyes.

This was getting ridiculous.

He let out of a breath of relief but immediately sucked them back as Raiden and Clayton slowly turned to face him in unison.

Did they practice that?

"Myles is here?," Raiden beamed excitedly, but immediately winced closing his eyes, realizing his mistake.

"His name is Myles?" Daisy gaped piping in."Jasmy or Jales sounds great don't you think?",she gushed dreamily.

I puked internally.

And I am not sure its Redbull's work anymore.

Jasper 's face mirrored my reaction, and he threw an angry glance at Raiden, making him smile sheepishly.

"OMG, this is gold! I am going post this in the gossip page NOW," she giggled taking a phone in her hand.

Before she could do anything, Raiden turned and took the phone out of her hand, "No, you are not." he shook his head and clicked something on the phone, so fast in the blink of an eye.

"But-But I would be famous like you guys if I posted that info in that page," she whined looking at the phone.

Wow. Is this the same girl that offered me water yesterday?

"Famous. Really?," he chuckled humourlessly, I looked at Jasper who had his eyes on Raiden on the shock.

"Yes, his name is Myles. What are you going to do about that? Find him on the Facebook. Instagram.Grindr," he fumed, looking around the class and finally stopped his gaze at Daisy, "And what will you do after finding him Get an autograph? Click a selfie. Good luck with stalking him with this phone."

"And about him in town? He is not. Because the last time I checked he wasn't even in the state. What in the fuck are you going to do even if he was in the town? Huh? I am getting sick of this. I am never been more thankful that Jasper decided to keep Myles a secret," he snarled at daisy looking over his shoulder at Jasper.

Daisy was crying at this point, sobbing and most of the class gaped at Raiden, who smiled looking down at the phone in his hand.

"And Lastly my best friend's love life is none of your damn fucking business," he spat almost throwing the phone at the wall but decided against it the last second and slammed it on the desk by him.

I am sure the screen would have cracked.

Jasper and Clayton stood wide-eyed looking at Raiden along with me and most of his classmates, both inside and at the entrance of the room.

Raiden then turned to me, his gaze considerably softening, "Come on twin bro, you are not sitting with them anymore."

He took my bag and walked to the back of the class and made some other guys move from their seat.

"Come on," patting the desk at the last row, placing my bag over it and took his seat, before taking his phone and started typing rapidly.

what just happened

Everyone in the class was frozen in their place before I could react a hand came over my shoulder and pushed me forward slowly.

My first thought was that hand belonged to Jasper, but it was not familiar or as comforting.

When I looked at the source of the hand, Clayton nodded indicating me to walk on.

My gaze found Jasper, but he wasn't looking at me. He was shooting a prideful look at Raiden and walked alongside me and Clayton.

Most of the class was still frozen in their place, some at the entrance looking from me to Raiden.

"Good morn- Is everything okay in here," Mrs.Hendricks sharp voice came out snapping our attention, making every one of us scramble to our seats.

She walked into the room, and looked around once more in confusion question but left at that.

I was now seated at the last row behind Raiden, Jasper was beside him, Clayton was parallel to me.

I looked to the side and found that Daisy was wiping her tears, and I didn't know how to feel about that.

Should I feel bad for her?

Should I have not left her?

Should I have defended her?

Should I be glad that I have one less stalker?

Or should I be glad that Raiden defended me even without knowing who I am?

yeah, definitely the last one.

Raiden found the seat for me directly behind him. Jasper was seated parallel to him, to the right, and Clayton behind Jasper.

Raiden was still typing furiously on his phone, I knotted my brows and leaned down to him and whispered, "What are you doing?"

"Tell you later, "Raiden whispered back.

I shrugged and took the English material from my bag and placed it on the next. After a minute or into the class, I looked at Jasper, who was squirming in his seat. He then took his phone subtly might I add and tried to type something, but a sharp gaze from Mrs.H froze him.

So I took my phone and typed the message and sent it before stuffed my phone back into my pocket.

I felt the phone vibration in his hand, even from here. He unlocked it and read the message. The smile that formed in his face was my reward.

I smiled satisfied to myself and concentrated on the class.

I am okay. I love you too

The first two hours ended much sooner than I expected, I was still thinking about what happened that morning and from the looks of it so does most of the class.

For every ten minutes are so they would turn around and look at the trio then me. It was unnerving.

Daisy was no longer crying but talking animatedly about something with Emily.

cue: Roll your eyes

Jasper left the class 30 minutes into the second hour explaining something to the staff who accepted without another word.

It was the first to break of the day, I  stood up to walk to the locker and collect the book for the next hour when Raiden's voice interrupted, "Where are you going?"

"Locker, "I replied nodding head to the out of the room.

"Oh okay," he muttered nervously bouncing his leg rapidly.

Two words that shouldn't come in the same sentence. Raiden being nervous. I looked at Clayton who was watching him with concern and one other emotion I was not ready to name it yet.

Until I am sure

"What is it, Ray?"I asked slowly taking a step towards his desk.

His head snapped up fast to meet my eyes, he chuckled, "You know Myles was the first person to call me that? Not Jasper. Not even this one here," he pointed out at Clayton with the smile on his face.

I just smiled at him. I remembered that. It was during freshman year when they just started out to be friends when they didn't believe my existence. Jasper didn't have my photo that day. He had a new phone with only my number on it. So he dialed my number and gave it to him. That was the first and last time I talked with him.

Raiden smiled at the memory but then clapped his hand, "So you are not angry at me?"

"Why would I be angry?"

"Um, I moved you from your seat without permission?"

"No. I am glad actually. But I have to go talk to her", I whispered to which he nodded in understanding, I smiled and walked around the room to Daisy's desk.

"Hey Aeron", She smiled.

"Hey! I am sorry about this morning," I said indicating the prior incident. 

"It's not your fault," She shook her head and looked past me at Raiden, "I went a little overboard."

"Little?"I chuckled at her.

She rolled her eyes, "Okay way overboard. Happy? I had that coming anyway, but I have apologize to them"

I nodded without comment at that, "So no hard feelings?"

"None at all," She shook her head, bumping my fist with hers. I waved at her and walked out of the class to my locker.

I was exchanging my books when the sound of the microphone sequel, resonated throughout the corridor making me wince.

"Sorry about that," a voice resonated around the block, making goosebumps trail over my skin.

Damn him and his voice

Jasper's voice then snapped to a professional one, "Students and teachers are requested to gather at the St.Patrick's auditorium for the first assembly for the year," he stopped for a minute before repeating, "I repeat. Students and teachers are requested to gather at the St.Patrick's auditorium for the first assembly for the year. Thank you."

The sound of microphone closing was heard then, as students around me started stuffing their bags in the locker and shut the locker and walked somewhere.

Somewhere

How in the hell I am going to find it now.

I was looking around to see if someone would show mercy and guide me.

What is it with men and asking for direction? 

The quote doesn't apply to me because they are enough instance that makes me want to think again.

And I didn't want to get lost now.

I sighed when I didn't see anyone ready to guide me to the hall, so I started aimlessly to follow some guys.

They might be going to the auditorium right, but the group separated and walked in two different directions, leaving me to find my own way.

Kill me now

No, I am gonna kill Jasper today.

Yeah, that sounds good.

Jasper told me the route to find his favorite places in the school, the principal room, and even the fucking restrooms.

Why didn't he ever tell me where the auditorium was?

Even Hailey didn't show it to me yesterday.

Always take the right. That's the statement right. So I took a step to the right but Raiden's voice stopped me in tracks.

"Aeron! Where are you going?"

I turned to see he and Clayton are stopping by me and some others walked past us.

"To the assembly hall, "I said in a duh tone.

"It's that way," Clayton pointed out to the left, making me smile sheepishly.

oh

Raiden chuckled and pushed to me the left, "Come on, we know a shortcut"

I thanked the stars and followed them.
