John Bender was not jealous. Never. There was no chance he was, as he liked to flaunt. You weren't in a relationship with the boy, but sometimes he made you question whether or not you were in his mind. Because whenever an attractive person would talk to you, Bender would become fidgety. It started of small, but sooner or later he would be butting into the conversation with smart remarks to make them look bad, anything he could to get your attention. When you confronted him about being jealous, he was hell-bent on denying it. So, you challenged him to stop it, just to see how long he could manage before snapping and intruding once more. Surprisingly, Bender was able to keep his promise for weeks. When you saw Andrew Clarke in detention with you, you knew he would be the perfect boy to distract Bender with. If there was anyone the guy hated more, it would be jocks. But, somehow, John Bender managed to keep his composure, even when Andrew openly flirted back with you. How, you didn't know. There were a few questionable looks, but he did fine. When you asked him about it later, he had the sweetest reason.

"Well, when I don't interrupt you, you give me more affection anyways. Plus, it is funny to watch a guy try his hardest to flirt with you and fail."

"It won't work on me, simply because I like you too much, John."
