What's The Next Move?
Jakes POV
"Of course, got it. I promise you won't regret-"
"Yeah thanks, whatever. Now could you please move those iPod speakers out of the way? It really takes up a lot of space."
"Oh uh...yes mam" I stood up straight and smirked at her.
"Oh please, don't start with me." She said as she rolled her eyes. Then she bent down to grab a bag filled with the things that had been taken out of her locker. "Ok, so it should only take me a few minutes to put this stuff back in. Then I will have just enough time to finish lunch. Oh gosh, I bet Lilly is wondering where the heck I am." She said more to herself then me, as she started arranging her things in our locker.
"Look how about you just set it all in there, arrange it later, and I'll move the speakers later, so we can go to lunch now. Emphasis on 'we'." I smiled, hoping she would get the hint.
"Hey that's a great idea. I can just go to lunch now and do this later." With that she set the bag on the floor of the locker, shut the door, totally ignored what I said and walked off to the lunchroom.
I was thinking of following for two reasons, but there were pros and cons for both. If I followed and if I didn't.
First reason- If I followed Miley, then I would get to see her and hopefully talk to her. But then again she probably wouldn't let me sit with her.
Second reason- I had people saving me a seat. So if I couldn't sit with Miley I had to sit with them.
But if I didn't show up that would probably solve everything.
So I decided to sit this first one out and eat in a classroom. Hopefully the next day won't be as hectic as this one.
I watched until Miley reached the lunchroom doors. She stopped just in front of them and looked back at me, so then I turned around and began walking the opposite way.
"Jake, where are you going? The lunchroom is this way."
I took a few more steps and then stopped and turned around to answer her.
"Look I know where it is, I'm just going to eat in a classroom or something. I don't feel like getting attention right now."
"Just cut the act Jake and come to-"
"I'm not acting now alright? I just want to eat somewhere else. Of course everyone will notice I'm gone. But…but you won't. You won't ever care will you?" I added quietly. Then I left her standing there with a look I couldn't define. It could have been hurt mixed with confusion, but I couldn't tell because I only caught a glimpse before I walked away. I didn't want to hurt her. I just wanted her.
-------------
I was wrong about school. The next day at school was just as hectic as the first. But at least I knew someone there. Even though she wouldn't talk to me; I knew her and she knew me. That's what helped me get through the rest of the week. Although Miley tried to avoid the times I was at our locker, it still didn't matter to me. I was as close as I could get to her.
It was surprising at how fast my stardom wore off at school. Although a few girls still came up to me now and then. But still I wasn't complaining. School actually became the fun part of my day. Because everywhere else I went in public, I was still a big celebrity to them.
The very next week, after only a week of being there, I never would have expected what was about to happen that day. So the first day of the week I walked up to our locker. I saw Miley there. For the past few days she had always rushed away when I began to walk toward our locker. Today was different- I don't know why. I had got as close to the locker door when Miley got her school bag and started to leave. Then that's when I heard her.
"Bye Jake." she sighed, looking at me quickly and then walking off to class. I was facing the locker and getting my books and only saw her out of the corner of my eye. So I didn't have a chance to look back at her, because I wasn't prepared for her to talk to me. But I watched as she walked off to her class, dwelling on those few words she spoke to me. Although they were meaningless, the voice behind them was beautiful. Now I knew that today was the day. Today I was finally going to tell her how I feel.
A/N I've never had so many reviews for just the first chapter. Thanks! Sorry it's short but hopefully the next will be longer. In later chapters I will get into others POV. But for the first two or three will be mostly Jakes.
