Misunderstood Part 37: (re-number!!)
*****************************************
2 days before the teens aged up...
Jamie had noticed Belle at school, he thought she was one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen, and now that his brother Dylan was hanging out with Belle's brother Simon Jamie had an excuse to tag along and get acquainted with Belle.

Belle was pulling away from Connor, she liked him but her feelings were stronger for Jamie, like she was meant to be with him. They went on a few informal dates, just out to eat at the diner, not terribly serious..

They mostly just talked about school, and Connor...but Belle felt her feelings were serious enough that she should probably break up with Connor, it would be kinder than stringing him along. She would break up with him soon she vowed, and told Jamie her plans. Jamie being a very sensitive boy felt bad that Connor would most likely be hurt but agreed it was better than staying with him when Belle's feeling had changed.

Belle having made up her mind to break up with Connor felt a weight lift off her chest and was having no problem expressing her growing feeling for Jamie...she even felt bold enough to ask him for a dance...it was closest they had gotten in public...

Maybe they should have put the brakes on an public displays until the breakup with Connor...who know who could be watching them...seeing what they didn't want to see.

Jared watched for a few minutes, Belle and Jamie didn't see him, they were too wrapped up in their own world, good thing because Jared was mad...no one cheats on his baby brother!

He didn't quite know what to do with what he saw, he played it over in his head and decided to keep it to himself for a bit..but he was infact very peeved. He had watched for only a few minutes but could see that Belle was deeply engrossed in Jamie in way more than a friendly way.

The next day Jamie met Belle at the library...

Jamie had no problem expressing his feelings to Belle...

Connor and Jared had also decided to visit the library that afternoon, Connor was shocked at the eyeful of Belle hugging some fairy he got when he went to the second floor to get a Biology book he needed for a report he was writing.

He was frozen in place dumbfounded...he couldn't move.

Finally his brain re-engaged and he silently put his book back and slunk down the stairs...

He bumped into Jared at the bottom of the stairs...Jared noticed Connor looked distressed.

"Connor what's wrong?"
"I really don't want to talk about it, can we just go home please..." Connor quietly begged.

The two walked home in silence...Jared knew Connor would open up when he felt like talking, he knew better than to bug it out of him.

**********************************************
The next day, the day everyone aged up...
Connor tried to plaster a smile on his face and put what he saw with Belle and that other dude out of his mind..it was only a hug for goodness sakes, he had no proof it was anything else. He found himself ignoring her throughout the night, it confused Belle, had Connor saw her and Jamie together she wondered feeling suddenly guilty.

She figured she better leave quickly to gather her thoughts, she couldn't break up with Connor on his Birthday, that would be truely heartless.

"Belle wait!!" Connor called after her..he knew he shouldn't jum to conclusions and felt bad about ignoring Belle for most of the night, he scooped her up into a big bear hug..

and an ever bigger kiss...

Something felt off, he knew there and then Belle was most likely involved with library boy. he felt a sob welling up but shoved it back down, he couldn't deal with this tonight...
"Can you come over tomorrow, we have some things to talk about.."
"Yes, I'll come over, I agree we need to talk."
