Chapter Six- Lucas

I didn’t see Hadley for a few days at all. It was grating on me that I missed her. I looked for her but she managed to avoid me completely. Day four, however, I saw her again. She was walking down the hall toward me but she wasn’t looking away or looking down- she was looking at a boy she was walking with. I couldn’t believe it- she was honestly out here with some guy. Someone had the bad luck to be tangled up with her.

Whatever.

I just glared at her as they walked past. I wasn’t totally certain why it had me angrier that she was with someone than that she was in my general area.

I stewed on it until lunch time. It just bothered me so deeply that she was with someone. Didn’t he know to stay away from her? Everyone else got the message. Up until now nobody had dared to get close to her because of me, and I was fine with that. It just bothered me to see her walking around happy with anybody.

“You know she’s getting close to that guy Danny. I think they might be dating.” Marie said, looking up at me. “I mean I feel bad for him but it’s not really our problem I guess.” She shrugged before she started in on her salad.

“I don’t know, it’s just super annoying. I’m surprised that anyone is stupid enough to try to get close to her anyways,” I said, sighing. It really was so stupid that I couldn’t deal with them. With her. Like I was jealous. As if that could even be the problem. I was with Marie, who was better than Hadley in every single way. So why it bothered me so much was beyond me. I just couldn’t get it out of my mind. Seeing her smiling at him pierced through me like a needle through a bug.

“I don’t know, it’s like who cares? It’s not like it’s our job to make sure she has no friends. It’s not our fault if someone gets sucked into that black hole of emotions.” Marie scoffed, and I nodded. She made a good point. Honestly, though, I knew it probably wouldn’t be enough to stop me from caring. It wouldn’t stop me from being a jerk to her. It was the only way I knew to make myself feel better. At least that helped the anger fade away. For a while, anyway.

We spent the rest of our lunch talking about anything but Hadley. I couldn’t get the image of her with that guy out of my head, though. It burned me up inside. It was so annoying. I just couldn’t get my brain to drop it and it began to distract me during class. I missed when the teacher asked me a question and it embarrassed me in class- I had known the answer, but she had to ask twice. I felt so stupid.

I spent the rest of the day just stewing on that feeling and it all drew me back to Hadley.
