A Horrible Truth - Part 2

Life went on in high school as usual. Jack never looked at me. One day, though, that all changed. We were both in the same alegebra class, and the teacher assigned us partners for a project. My partner was Elizabeth Mudge, Jack's girlfriend.
You could label Elizabeth as "popular." I couldn't help but envy how when got to stare in to Jack's blue eyes, glittering with kindness and a hint of shyness, and how she got to be held by his strong arms. I really couldn't believe how much I missed him, even after that one night in his bedroom. . .

Elizabeth invited me to her house to work on the project. When I arrived, she smiled and we started to work on the project.
"I hope you don't mind," she said. "But my boyfriend is coming over in five minutes." The diet Coke I was drinking flew out of my mouth in disbelief.
"You. . . you mean Jack? Jack. . . Loversben?" I stuttered. The thought of having to face him scared me. Elizabeth was still annoyed about the giant brown Coke stain on her couch, though.

"Let me go get a wet rag. Be right back," she muttered, irritated. She left the room with a long, stomping stride. I sat back in to the mushy couch, sighing.
Just then, the front door flew open.
"I'm here, babe! And I brought SubWay!" A deep, buttery voice spoke. My heart stopped as I turned and saw Jack standing in the doorway, holding two subs. His mouth dropped when he saw me, but slowly he composed his face. "Oh, hey."

"Hi," I whispered.
"What's up?" he asked smoothly. Elizabeth walked in to the room and walked across the room to him. Smiling, she kissed him. I looked away, uncomfortable. But something flared inside me. Jealousy. I wanted those perfect, cupid bow lips on mine, I wanted his eyes to stare in to my soul and I wanted him to want me.
