Chapter 5

Blake followed Jenna slowly, trailing through through the students, chattering and gossiping about the latest fashions and info on who's dating who. She stared at the floor and watched the feet passing by. She could feel her phone vibrating again and again, choosing to ignore the many texts from Sam. Blake just couldn't deal with missing him right now. Jenna's rambling about certain stores and restarants faded into the distance and Blake nodded every now and then, when it was appropritate. She came back as she felt shoulder knock into her, and she looked up to find Thomas walking beside her, watching her carefully.

"Did you know, I've been walking with you for about 2 minutes now?" Blake flushed and stammered. Thomas laughed and watched her every move. "Haha, oblivious much?" Blake blushed and looked down.

"Yeah, I guess. I'm just really preoccupied. This day went by so fast. All the new stuff." Thomas shook his head and looked around them. Blake glanced around and noticed that Jenna was no where to be found. "Oh...I guess we lost her." Blake giggled and blushed again.

"Haha, that's okay. She's probably out front, like usual." Thomas grabbed her hand and pulled her through the large crowd of kids standing right in front of the door. Blake looked at Thomas and frowned when she noticed his smile fading slowly. Blake turned and watched as Jenna gasped and ran toward a guy leaning against a large black truck. "Gawd, I hate that guy!"

Blake turned back to Thomas and looked at him, puzzled. "Uhh what's the matter with him." His short black hair was spiked and he wore skinny jeans with a Bring Me The Horizon t-shirt. Good taste, she thought to herself. "He looks cool...is he?" Thomas scowled and clenched his hands into fists.

"His names Skyler...he's Jenna's ex. Treated her like major shit. I hate him. She was torn up when he broke up with her. He...cheated on her...she still loves him though. I hate that he did that to my best friend." Blake nodded and sighed. "Come on. I want to make sure she doesn't go anywhere with him." Thomas grabbed Blake's wrist and pulled her down the stairs quickly. Blake could hear Jenna squealing and talking quickly.

"Hey Jenna!" Jenna turned and gasped.

"OHMUHGAWD! I forgot to find you! I'm sooo sorry!" She hugged Blake lightly and turned back to Skyler. "Blake, this is Skyler. An old friend." Blake could she Thomas grimace from the corner of her eye. "So, Skyler...when is Cooper gonna come see me?! All he does is work at the faternity now!" Skyler shrugged and his brown eyes shined as they fell apon Blake. Blake blushed and looked down, trying to ignore the fact that his glare was straight on her.

"I guess I'll ask him for you, Jen." She could hear him tell Jenna, his voice barely above a whisper. Blake blushed deeper and breathed deeply for a second.

"Good. I miss Cooper. Tons!" Jenna turned around and started talking to Skyler's friends. Blake could see Skyler turn and wrap his arms around Jenna's shoulders, his gaze still fixed on Blake.
