More Than Nothing

I took notes off the board as the teacher explained the concept of…um…well, actually I wasn’t really taking notes. I was watching Jaimie. And that stupid jerk, Ryan. I tapped my pen on the desk annoyingly as I finally turned to look at the board.
“Do you mind?”
I turned to look Jaimie right in the eye. Crap! I blushed before saying, “Ugh…no, sor—”
“Jaim, is this guy bothering you?” Ryan butted in from our ,oh, so interesting conversation (not). She shook her head, “no, just asking him something.” Ryan stared at me with what he would probably call an evil eye, but I ignored him.
I was ready for him to say to me, are you trying to steal my girl? But he didn’t because she patted him on the shoulder and said, “It was nothing.”
I wish it was more than just “nothing”.
