CHAPTER-2
Spud and Trixie were standing with Jake in front of his locker and were desperately trying to calm him down. "Bro", Spud said, "you have to control your anxiety, remember, you already know Rose and both of you were madly in love with each other, so, what exactly are you worried about Jake?"
"I am worried about that word- 'were', we 'were' madly in love with each other, all this time Rose has been living another life-what if she doesn't like me and what if, what if she has a boyfriend!" Jake asked, absolutely horrified at that thought.
Trixie thought Jake was overreacting, she had personally witnessed the sacrifice which Rose had made for Jake and she was confident that no matter which alternate time period they were in, Rose would always love Jake- home girl just needed a bit of time to fall in love with her jakey again.
Trixie glanced behind Jake's shoulder and said "Uh Jake, you better run to your flower because other bees are already buzzing around her." Jake turned around and saw that boys of the school were either already talking to Rose or were surreptiously glancing towards her and were desperately trying to work up the courage to go and talk to her.
Jake ran towards her and stopped right outside the herd which had gathered around Rose and took two deep breaths before going in and standing in the middle of the crowd. "Sorry guys, this lady has already booked her tour guide"' Jake cockily replied but his heart was hammering within his chest. Finally when the crowd of admirers dispersed but albeit grudgingly, he somehow summoned up the courage, gulped and finally turned around to look at her.
What he saw made his heart skip a beat.
Rose wore a white top and a pink mini skirt and she was smiling gratefully at him. "Thank you Jake"' Rose said, a bit relieved to see a familiar face in the middle of so many unknown faces. "No problem, anything for the lady", Jake replied.
"So, did you get your routine?" Jake asked. Rose replied, "Yes I did. I collected my routine yesterday". Jake was praying that they would at least have a few classes together but his worst fears were confirmed when he glanced at her routine- they only had homeroom and algebra together.
"It's a shame we don't have too many classes together", Rose said, voicing Jake's thoughts. "Hey nevermind, atleast we have lunch together" Jake replied while trying to be a bit cheerful about their situation. Sometimes it seemed as if the universe was intent on keeping them apart, he thought darkly.
Just then the bell rang and Jake said, "Let's go or rotwood will give us late slips." And with that both of them hurried towards their class.
Hey guys, hope you are enjoying the story. I am trying to build up their relationship a bit before heaping problems upon them.
A/N: I am not very familiar with the American school system, so if there is anything wrong in the story then please do tell me, I want it to be accurate.
Well, leave me a review and let me know about your thoughts.
