Chapter 10

Eri woke up to sent of old spice deodorant and suprisingly familiar, but from where. That she couldn't remember.

The memories of last night's argument with her father floated back to her and then she felt a sudden ache in her like a tone of bricks hit her over and over again. After somewhat getting over the pain she let the rest of the memories float in and she didn't remember going back to her room.

The last thing she remembered was crying patheticly on Jarred's shoulder.

"Jarred." She whispered shooting up front the bed. This must be her room, she thought to herself while climbing off the bed.

She realized that she was stilled dressed and even her shoes were still on. She put the pieces together realizing that he must have taken her to his room. She quickly checked her pocket for her phone and keycard and she was relieved that they where both there.

She marched towards the door trying to leave before he came back but at that exact moment the bathroom door opened.

The first thing she noticed was Jarred's wet her, then the shocked look on his face. Her eyes then trailed down to his chest and stomach when she realized he was completely naked she covered her with a shriek.

"Damn put some clothes on!" She days then barges out of his room and sprints down the hall and get in the elevator.

When she reached the ground floor and stepped out she realized that she was in the same building she lived in.

"I feel so stupid right now." She says face palming herself she spins on her heels and goes back into the elevator.

When she sees the time she heads straight for the shower. A huge frown takes over her face when she sees how puffy and swollen her face was from crying last night.

After showering she quickly dug up her makeup bag, since she hasn't worn any makeup since she got here the bad was easy to find.

She took her sweet time getting ready, deliberately. When she was done she counted steps to fist class of the day.

When she arrived the fist person to look at her was Jarred he immediately stood from his seat to apologize but tought twice about it. He slowly sat down.

She looked around for a seat and thankfully Jacob saved her one next to him by the wonder. He waved her over with a broad smile and she went avoiding eyes contact with Jarred all the while.

She spent the rest of the day doing just that....avoiding Jarred.

"Did something happen between you two?" Jacob finally ask as his curiosity gets the best of him.

"Nothing worth mentioning." Eri lies wearing a blank mask on her face as they head to in a random direction because she decided to skip lunch.

"Are you sure about that?" He presses.

"Yeah why?"

"I couldn't help but notice you both skipped breakfast, you've been avoiding him all day and now you're skipping lunch......" Jacob say trailing off with a worried expression on his face.

"If you think we had sex your way off" Eri bursts into laughter, "your way, way, way off." She adds barely controlling her laughter.

Hearing that brings a please smile to Jacob's face as they exit the main building.

Meanwhile Jarred was watching them from afar not sure how to react or if he should react at all. He simply wanted to apologize for what had happened but she would give him a chance.

As he ate his lunch alone Gabe and Caleb joined him.

"Hey man." Gabe says while Caleb could only nod since his face was already stuffed.

"So where are they?" Caleb finally speaks.

"I think their skipping." Jarred tells them knowing full well they are.

"Who'd wanna skip lunch?" Caleb asked with a questioning look on his face.

"Calm down we all know you like to eat, it's a miracle your not a fat ass yet." Gabe pokes his buttons trying to change the subject since he saw how Eri has been acting towards Jarred all day.

After they finished their lunches the boy headed to their next class early. They spotted Eri and Jacob sitting on the lawn together laughing and talking.

"Are you sure they're not together?" Caleb asks curiously.

Jarred felt a unfamiliar feelingone he'd never felt before and one he never wanted feel again.

"I honestly don't know. Why don't you ask them?" Jarred speaks in a monotone walking away.

"Hey dude wait up." Gabe calls after him while pulling Caleb along.

When they get to class they weren't the first one there.

"Yow Caleb come check this out!" Morace yells as soon ad the boys enter the class room.

"Hey Gabe could you help me out with this?" Tyrone called him over leaving Jarred all alone.

He took his usual seat at the front and images of Eri flashed through his mind and for some reason it made him want to stay away from them.
