jay was seen as a partier, heartbreaker, laid back type of person. which yes, technically he had proved those rumors right, multiple times, but he wasn’t a bad guy.

he was friendly, respectful, and didn’t judge someone off of their appearance.

and honestly, he couldn’t get through a party without taking at least three TUMS and drinking. the people, music, and just environment made him anxious, but he wouldn’t ever tell anyone that.

however, when it came to you- he was a different person. you were the only person who didn’t take his kindness, and wouldn’t let him be kind to you whatsoever. so, it had become a habit of his to try and piss you off by helping you in any way he could.

like homework, taking in your groceries, even grabbing a cup from the top shelf when you were over at the house that he shared with his teammates.

however, this changed a lot when his best friend, Logan Kahan got a girlfriend. yes, the Logan. The man-whore. got a girlfriend before him. but this girlfriend also happened to be your best friend. so now, you were always over at their house when you would tag along with your best friend.

anyways, one night you’re at his house watching a movie. you’re best friend and logan go upstairs, gross, leaving you and jay by yourselves.

it’s pretty quiet except for the movie playing and jay’s constant fidgeting, a habit that had stayed with him since he was a child.

he then breaks the silence, almost wording his thoughts.

“what do I need to do to get you to like me? because right now, you really seem to hate me, and I don’t know why.”
