HIGH SCHOOL GAME (SEASON 1)
CHAPTER 10
‘Will you stand up and go back to your sit? Jason yelled at the innocent Jai.
‘This is my sit from henceforth as we’ve switched places with Star” Jai said, although a little scared.
‘What?? Where is Star?’ Jason asked before Jai could talk or point at where I was sitting, Jason turned and looked at me but I looked away almost immediately.
“Star asking you to switch seats with her doesn’t give you the right to sit with me” Jason said boiling with anger.
‘He goes nowhere and I was the one who asked him to sit there. I and Star are now sitting partners, so get used to it’. Emily said from her sit and that angered Jason more, and so he walked out of the class immediately.
Jason decided to walk to the school field and then he went deep in thought.
‘Wait? Why did I get so angry and worked out over the fact that Star has switched seats with that boy?’ he thought as he got to the school field.
‘But come to think of it, is Star avoiding me? Because she would always look my way while we were in church but yesterday was different.
It was as if I never existed to her or wasn’t present at all.
And today she was acting strange. Why do I even care?’ he asked himself as he walked around the field alone.
Soon Jasper and Chain walked up to him.
‘Hey? What was that for?’ Jasper asked Jason with a face that shows no clue to what happened in class.
“Bro, you have to calm down your nerves while in class. Your actions are becoming too obvious since that girl shared your video with Star together” Chain said to Jason

‘Here I am, poor Jason being disgraced in school, such a mess has never happened to me. The guy every feminine will do anything just to have his attention has been disgraced by a bitch who ain’t worth touching the strap of my shoes. Even if this is to happen it shouldn’t be through Star, it shouldn’t” He gave a wicked smile
‘Being taken as nothing is inimical to the lifestyle I didn’t plan to live, not for a dirty stricken little girl like Star to play a fool out of me, but this ain’t the end , she is not going Scott free’
He stood up, picked up his phone, looked into it for a couple of minutes and smashed it on the blue painted photo of Bruce Lee that was on the wall of his room.
‘Fuck this!’ He jeered at himself
‘What the hell is fucking wrong with me? What is really going on with me? Why am I even thinking about that little brat who owns nothing in this world?” Jason continued not knowing how loud he was becoming.
On hearing some strange sounds coming from Jason’s room, his mother rushed to his room and didn’t even bother to knock on the door.
‘Oh no! What the hell is happening here? Jason what the hell is happening here? What happened to that blue photo over there? Oh my goodness! Look at your phone what happened to it? Talk to me son, you look pissed off” she said to him but Jason stood still, looking like a wild cat and then he said “nothing” and gave his Mom no other reply.
‘Talk to me son, Mom hates seeing you like this’
‘Mom I wanna be left alone’ He jumps to his bed
‘Young man you can’t be alone here while your two best friends are here to see you, now get up, we shall talk about this later.
The last thing Jason would really want was for his best friends to see him looking like trash because they will surely ask him questions and he didn’t really have a concrete reason as to why he was behaving in such way.
He cannot tell them his appearance which was as that of a crazy man was all because of Star, they will definitely laugh at him and subsequently use it against him later on and so he rushed down from bed, changed to his latest dress and out he went in pretense, looking like nothing was happening.
* * *
I stayed quietly in my room, sitting on my little but nice and comfortable bed, covered with neat green bed spreads and two little pink pillows in form of a bull’s head.
I loved those two little pillows and cherished them a lot, since they were the last present given to me by my granny who kicked the bucket two years ago.
One crazy thing about me was that, I love the gifts given to me than the things I use my personal money to get for myself. It doesn’t matter how little the gift was, I really would value it.
I stood up, walked straight to the mirror standing by the right side of my room, wearing the short purple gown I bought from my Mom’s boutique the other day.
I looked into the mirror with my dark large eyes as I recalled the words Emily said to me when I was down casted ‘you are beautiful, don’t let yourself down because of any hard guy, you are too young for that girl’ I said in a sarcastic manner but I really wasn’t feeling good at all over what I did.
Isn’t it too obvious that I am only trying hard to get back at Jason? Well, I don’t think so. I think I am just doing my thing and trying to make sure nobody look down on me.
“I’m gonna walk straight to him tomorrow and I’m gonna apologize to him. But what if Emily question me about it? What did I do to him? Because I changed sit? Oh dear handsome Jason, I’m really sorry I wish I could apologize but I can’t, if only you will see and feel how my little poor soul longs to have you, you won’t blame me at all. But right now I have to stay clear off your path to focus on my studies, I’m sorry Jason if only my words of tears will echo in your heart.” I said to myself while looking at the mirror and then I decided to put just two things on my mind for tomorrow.
The first one which was chemistry practical which I knew I had to be prepared for in order to do well and secondly I kinda secretly want to see Jason.
