Please don't joke, Father "Why are you doing this?" They were on the balcony of the building with no one else around. Even though Jeff could feel the refreshing breeze, his raging rage persisted.

"What do you mean why am I doing this? I just came to ask you for lunch and this is what I get "Jamie answered, her eyes showing no remorse. "If you don't want to go with me, just say so." Jeff said, "I really do not want to say this, but you are going too far," his voice growing agitated. "You know how much your so-called fiance hates me and now you came to call me in front of so many students. Without a doubt, today's school forum will be lively." "Why did you start to care about things like this? Why are you getting irritated with the school forum when you did not mind being made fun of and harassed by Elias fans?" "I'm not going to lunch with you if that's what

you want to hear. I have something to attend to" Jeff didn't want to argue anymore, so he prepared to leave.

However, Jamie stopped him before he could leave. "Why are you leaving? You have no idea how much confidence I needed to come see you dressed like this and get my hair dyed? Why are you acting this way toward me?" Jamie appeared to be on the verge of crying.

"Jamie, you were not asked to do any of this.

You took this initiative on your own," Jeff answered. "You are aware of the vicious nature of the internet, and these things will be shared there. If I could take it, can you? Can you bear the insults and why the hell are you doing this?!" ‘Don't you like girls who look like this? Isn't this the type of look you want in a lady?" Jamie asked in a desperate manner. "Your girlfriend looks like this, isn't it? I am attempting to be the kind of girl you like, can not you see that?" "The type of girl I like? Did I ask you to care about the type of girls I liked?" Jeff asked a blunt question. You and my cousin, who hates

me a great deal, are engaged, Jamie. How do you think he would react if he sees you with me?" Jamie couldn't reply for a second. She fiddled with her fingers, her eyes blinking rapidly.

"I like you" She blurted out. "I can't bear to see you with other girls. I would rather not see you with other women." Tears were welling up in her eyes and about to fall, but Jeff knew he had to use caution.

Jamie liked him... yes, he knew. Since they first met back at Arty City, he had known she liked him, but now, it does not really matter.

She's engaged to Elias and it doesn't look like a simple engagement that can be easily broken.

"The girl isn't your girlfriend, right?" Jamie questioned with tears in her eyes. "You have feelings for me too, right?" "At this point, it is irrelevant," replied Jeff. " Please be more careful, next time. Elias's Mother isn't going to take it easy on me."
