Fifteen ignored texts from Jack that you reread every day. Each time you read them, your heart felt a little bit lighter.
‘You looked upset today. Come talk to me after the game.’ was the first text and you were upset that day. Upset at him. Upset at yourself. Upset at the blonde girl.
You didn’t go talk to him. Instead, you packed your camera gear and left with too much on your mind. You could feel his eyes on you throughout the day and it made your skin crawl. Not in a bad way. You just felt like he was looking through you.
‘Can you talk to me? I can’t keep asking Nico about you.’ was the second text. Nico had told you that Jack’s been bothering him about you. “He’s miserable. He keeps asking me about you.” Nico told you after practice one day. Again, you could feel Jack’s stare from across the room.
“Well, he’s in a relationship now, he shouldn’t be worrying about me.” You responded to Nico, the words a little harsher than intended. You adjusted the settings on your camera and began to take a few pictures of the team practicing.
Jack kept skating past. He was trying to get your attention on him and he was shameless about it. He was even more shameless when he cornered you.
“You’re ignoring me.” He didn’t bother with awkward greetings. He needed to get to the point. He needed to hear your voice. You paused, just hearing his voice made your heart clench.
“No i’m not.” You denied, dropping your camera in your bag. “I’m busy.” Your voice was flat but he saw straight through you. He saw your jaw tick. He saw your hands flex.
“You were talking to Nico, though.” Jack retorted. “Not even fifteen minutes ago, actually.” He frowned a little when you rolled your eyes.
"Fine, what?" You asked him, setting your camera bag to the side and crossed your arms over your chest.
"I just.. wanted to apologize," Jack murmured. "I can't stop thinking about you. I want to fix this. I don't like that you're mad at me." He continued, never once breaking eye contact.
You sighed. "whatever, it's fine, I have to go." You dismissed and before he could protest, apologize more, do anything, you were rushing off.
