Tolerating The Player

ZACH’S POV

I had even prepared a special meal for Devin because he was coming over and then I would have someone I could finally talk to.

It was taking too long for him to get here and he had said he would be here on time. I was getting bored of staying home and lying on the couch so I called his number. I didn’t want to seem like a clingy fuck person by calling and asking where he was but hell he knows me too much to think I was being clingy after all he is my brother.

I picked up my phone and dialed his number, it was taking too long for the call to connect so I almost ended it before I heard his annoying voice through the phone.

“Hey Zachary” he greeted in a sarcastic way.

” I thought you would be here this morning” I said immediately after he greeted me not bothering about returning his greetings

“I’ll be there in the evening, I have to do something with my girlfriend,” he said through the phone.

“Okay bro” I replied and ended the call. My brain suddenly processed what he had said. Devin now has a girlfriend? The least person I would expect to be in a relationship was Devin.

Even though he was nice, he was still the most annoying fuck boy I have ever known but yet girls run to him like a magnet even though they are very well informed that Devin would break their heart. He even made it known to some girls that he wouldn’t date them but they could fuck and they accept the offer but end up wanting him as a boyfriend later on.

They get jealous whenever they see him with another girl even though he wasn’t dating any of them. I remembered when he said that three girls who were bestfriends fought because they all claimed to be his girlfriend. I remembered how hard I laughed that day. Most of them ended up crying at the end and hoped he would come back for them while some give up after weeks and find a new partner. Perhaps he changed a new leaf after highschool.

I sat on the couch for some while but the boredom was eating me up so I decided to just go to school even though I was late and many classes have been missed already. There was nothing the school could do about me being late if they didn’t want to lose all of the money the bastard of a father contributes to the school and the good name I brought to the school for being a recognized football player from Sapphire high school. I am kind of a big deal in the school.

I arrived at school and it was just time for the lunch break, I had eaten at home so I didn’t bother to go to the cafeteria but I went directly to my next class.

I opened the door and spotted Bella seated at the end of the classroom with a worried look on her face while she sipped through the straw on her juice box. She didn’t seem to notice I walked into the class so I walked back outside before she would be back to her senses.

“Hey Zach!” Aurora yelled immediately she spotted me coming out of the classroom. What could she possibly want now?

She stood on her toe and leaned to give me a kiss on the lips but I broke the kiss almost immediately. Bella came out of the classroom the moment she kissed me and saw all what happened but didn’t show any sort of emotion in her face. Perhaps I’m a total stranger to her now.

“What’s the occasion? Why are you calling me from down the hallway like a lunatic? ” I asked and she snorted before moving some steps back away from me.

“Someone is here to see you, he was outside the school building.” She said and I became confused, who would want to see me and who the hell do I know.

I kept on thinking about which guest would want to visit me in my school. My mind was on my father but I surely hoped it wasn’t him else I might end up losing it and giving him a taste of his own medicine. But with the way Aurora sounded it doesn’t look like my father.

I walked outside the school building and spotted a black BMW that looked familiar, the car’s door suddenly clicked open and the driver came out of the car. I couldn’t help but wonder how he grew up really fast and has drastically changed from the way I saw him last.

“Devin!” I said excitedly as he walked up to me, I noticed Aurora giving him a slutty look as she adjusted her top trying to reveal her breasts. Aurora would definitely throw herself on any guy that drove an expensive car and wore expensive shoes. Let’s just say she likes her men expensive.

“You look bigger than the last time Zach” he teased.

“We looked the same the last time, but why are you in my school?” I asked and cocked a brow at him as I tucked my hands into my pocket.

“She ended up releasing me on time and I stopped by at your house but Malik said you weren’t at home and I assumed you must still be in school. School boy” he dragged the last statement out and I remembered how Devin could be very sarcastic and annoying.

“Let’s just go in” I rolled my eyes and we walked into the building. Aurora walked in our middle as we entered the cafeteria. I was sure she wanted everyone to know that she could pin two hot guys down, such a shame.

The moment Devin entered the cafeteria, girls were all murmuring under their breath.

“I need an inhaler to breathe, we now have two hot and spicy dudes in our school” a girl said as she was struggling to breathe. Jeez, take it easy on yourself.

Lunch break was over and it was time for everyone to go to their various classes. Devin had followed me to my class but then he had to stop to flirt with any beautiful and sexy girl that passed his way.

“So is she your girlfriend?” He asked and I turned to look at him.

“Oh Aurora isn’t my girlfriend, I don’t have one” I said and he let out a chuckle.

“I see….” Was the only thing he said before we opened the door for the classroom.

I scanned through the classroom to see if Isabella was there but she wasn’t. I don’t know how I felt about her absence but I sat down anyway and Devin sat closer to me.

I would always check who entered the classroom whenever the door was opened but none of them was Isabella.

“Are you expecting someone?” Devin asked. I had not noticed that he had been noticing me staring at the door repeatedly.

“Nope” I said and he nodded his head before concentrating on his phone. I felt like I should tell Devin about it but then he was surely going to make fun of me. Asshole.

The door clicked open and finally I saw Isabella walk in, a small smile appeared on my face but then Xavier walked right behind her and the smile fell.

“So she’s the one, she definitely is” Devin said but whispered the last part of the sentence.

“She’s not the one and there’s no ‘the one’ ” I said almost immediately and he raised his hand in the air in defeat. For the first time in history this class was as full as it was. But then it didn’t take me up to a minute to realize that they were mostly girls and they were here for Devin.

The teacher shortly came in and I could swear that her facial expression was the same as mine when I noticed the amount of students in the classroom.

“Well.. looks like y’all woke up on the right side of the bed” she said before writing the subject on the white board.

“We have nothing much to discuss about today so I’ll give you an assignment where you’ll have to do it with a partner.” She said and waited for any question that would be asked.

“Do we get to choose our partner?” A curly haired short boy asked.

“Of course, less stress for me” she said and opened her textbook to revise some work.

The boy looked towards Isabella’s direction and she gave him an irritating look. Why does everyone but me find her attractive? My eyes suddenly fell on her hand and I saw that Xavier was holding her hands. It made me boil on the inside but why should I care?

“Isabella Brown, will you be my partner for the class assignment?” Xavier said, I wanted to punch that mouth of his which spilled out those words but I kept calm.

“Yes!” Isabella replied and they both laughed even though the teacher was still in the classroom. I was done and fed up with the bullshit of a game they were trying to play as I stood up from my seat, carried my bag pack and walked out of the classroom. I could feel Devin walking behind me and I heard the teacher asking if he was a student.

He should know how to get out of the trouble himself, I needed some fresh air or probably something else that would get my mind off her. The only reason I am like this was because I thought my words had hurt her but nothing more.

“Zach!” Devin yelled as he ran towards me panting like he had just raced a thousand metre race.

“You only ran for a few seconds and you’re sweating like a goat right now” I teased, I barely found the chance to tease him and this was golden so I won’t let it slide.

“Just shut it, what was that for?” He asked while he was still trying to catch his breath. Devin might have a good and well built body shape but he was the type that didn’t enjoy exercises. He should be thankful he naturally has a good body and face.

“I was getting bored” I said and ran my hand through my hair. He scanned me for some time before saying “okay!” I thought he was going to ask more but he didn’t.

“Let’s just go home” I said and we both walked to our cars. “Nice whip” I complimented before we both started the car.

My phone kept on buzzing throughout the ride but I didn’t want to check the message. I finally got home and opened my phone to see twenty-five new messages all from Aurora.

“Help!” The message read.
