I laugh and look at Dane, whose face is covered with an amused expression. He shakes his head and rubs his forehead. “I have to go over to the shop. Dad’s wanting to talk to me about something. What’s up?”
Sean shrugs. “Nothing, just wanted to spend a little time with my best friend is all.”
Dane wraps his arm around my shoulders. “Sorry, Sean. Not today.” He leads me down the hallway to my first class. He presses a quick kiss to my lips and leaves in the opposite direction.
I stand by the door, staring after him. As he walks down the hall, a blonde with boobs the size of a Buick flocks to his side. I can see her lips moving as she says something to him, and he leans in closer to hear her, placing his hand on her hip. He glances up, looking into her eyes and says something with a smile before they round the corner together.
Something churns in the pit of my stomach. It burns its way up to my heart. I know this feeling well.
Jealousy.
I’ve felt it my entire life. I’ve always been jealous of kids with parents and normal lives. But I’ve never let another girl make me jealous before, especially over a guy. But then again, a guy has never loved me before.
Spinning on my heels, I walk into the classroom. I take my seat and divert my eyes down to my clasped hands, resting on my desk.
Why am I feeling this way?I know Dane loves me. I know he’d never cheat on me. But seeing his hands on that other girl, it hurts a part of me that’s never hurt before.
It makes me realize how much I rely on him. What if the spell is suddenly broken for him? What if he regrets letting me stay with him? What if he’s changed his mind about living together, or just me in general?
The teacher comes into class and directs us to open our books, but I’m lost in my thoughts. I flip through the pages, not even sure what page he said.
I have something to lose now.
I’ve never had anything to lose before.
Already, it’s changing me.
