You and I

By: TrishGee

Chapter2

The subjects passed so quickly. First it was Chemistry (first period) then it became Social Studies (2nd to the last period.). I was waiting for Jake to go up in our classroom, but I found out that he was waiting for me to go down in the lobby where my mom was seated in the couches. They were actually talking. Then, Jake saw me and stood up. He got my things and brought me to the couches. My Mom had a strange grin. I hope she likes him.

"Where do you two want to have dinner?" She asked.

"Is it necessary to eat? Can't we just talk here?" I asked nervously.

"Well, it's your choice…" Jake looked at me as if he was enjoying the whole thing.

"We'll eat at the steakhouse across the street, my treat."

As we went to the car, Jake whispered in my ear, "Don't worry, it will be fine. I'll do everything for her to like me."

I felt relived, but at the same time bothered.

As soon as we reached our seats in the steakhouse, we ordered our food and my Mom started asking Jake questions like, "What are the job of your parents?" or "What was your previous school like?" "What is your reputation on your previous school?"…those kinds of questions. I was grateful that Jake had honest and clean answers. My Mom seemed to like him. After we had dinner, Jake said good bye and we went home. When we got in the car, my Mom started talking.

"I like him. He was alright. He's a real gentleman like what you have told me and he's sweet."

"So can we be boyfriend-girlfriend?"

"Well, yes?" my Mom looked at me with a grin. I screamed in the car cause I was so happy. But, she had rules:

1. Do not let him in my room.

2. No kissing on the lips, cheek in okay.

3. Don't allow him to touch any part of my body from the neck below.

4. No going to dark places. (Movie house is exceptional.)

5. No dates in the house especially if we are alone.

She said that that was all she could think of in the meantime, but she warned me that she still has to make a list cause there are a lot of rules in her mind.

The weekend breezed through quickly, it was disappointing. But at least I could finally see my new boyfriend! REJOICE! He doesn't know yet though. I want it to be memorable and romantic, so I came up with an idea.

I texted the cheerleading squad to text the football team that there is a rumor that is spreading that I "might" answer him. Answer him, meaning, like we'll be in a relationship. BTW, Jake's in the football team with Jeremy. So as soon as the cheerleaders received the message from one of the most popular girls in school (me), they texted the football team as soon as possible. Then the rumor started spreading.

When I reached the school with my new Bob Mackie handbag with a matching Burberry checkered coat, everyone had this weird glare at me. I didn't know if it was attention or if they wanted to ambush me. But, I just strutted through the hallways and went to "The Ramp". "The Ramp" is one of the most sacred places in the school. That place is the only section where all the popular kids eat lunch. Another place is "The Fountain", but we'll get to that later on. Anyway, as soon as I stepped on the ramp, I looked for my posse and we sat on our table. Jake wasn't there. I was so worried. I asked the people there and they said he's probably just late. So I waited for like, 30mins? Then, the bell rang. Sad. I went into the classroom and I saw Jake. I passed by and gave him a good morning smile, but he didn't respond. I was so frustrated. Questions started gushing in my head. "What did I do?". I knew that something was wrong. I went over to his chair to ask him what's wrong, sadly, the teacher came in, so I had to go back to my seat.

After that subject was our morning break. I went to the ramp and I started the conversation.

"Okay, seriously, what's up with Jake?" I asked with a sad tone.

"I don't know, but he isn't talking to you…" Marge added.

"No chizz Sherlock, well, did you ask him?" Nicole argued.

"No…wait! Look! Here he comes now." My eyes widened and I was waiting for him to come towards me, but he went out when I waved at him.

I was seriously puzzled. I don't know what to do.

I had no choice but to run to him. I didn't want anything to end…but honestly? What is going to end when there's nothing going on between us…YET?

"What's up? Why aren't you talking to me? Did I do something wrong?" I asked while catching my breath. That's what you get if you run with your 4inch Jimmy Choo heels.

"Nothing, nothing. I just…well…" He started looking left and right. He was nervous for some reason.

"What? Don't you love me anymore? What's going on? Did you not like the dinner with my mom? Did she mention something that offended you?" I started asking him these questions, but he just remained silent. Then, HE WALKED AWAY. I went bonkers. I went hysterical. I was so confused. What is this? What is this madness? Why did he walk away?

I went back to The Ramp and then the bell rang. I was still confused, I couldn't focus. What was going on with the world? He wasn't with me during Values. All throughout that class, I was thinking. I didn't know what was going on. WHY DID HE WALK AWAY?! Finally, the subject ended and we had to go to our next class, English. He isn't in that period either so I just slept.

At last, the bell rang. It was lunch. I ate at The Ramp w/ my clique; Marge, Nicole, Toffer, Jeremy and..yeah. Jake wasn't there. In the middle of our lunch, a loud siren came outside. We went out of the cafeteria and we went in "The Fountain". Just a brief explanation about The Fountain; it's the center and the heart of Columbia High. That's where all the populars chit chat and meet every free time or when they cut class. No lowers are allowed to step in either The Ramp or The Fountain. ("Lowers" meaning the non-populars). Anyway, back to the topic, the whole cafeteria followed the siren and went to The Fountain. We found some of the football players there and a few cheerleaders.

"Give me an I!"

"Give me an L!"

"Give me an O!"

"Give me a V!"

"Give me an E!"

"Give me U!"

"What does that spell? I LOVE YOU!"

Then the football players made an aisle for me to pass through, it led me to the edge part of the fountain where people could sit. I stood up, with a puzzled look, but I was smiling. I didn't know what was going on, suddenly, the school mascot came and ran to me and stood on the edge too. It knelt and signaled me to remove its head, when I removed the head, it was Jake. I laughed and I had this enormous smile on my face.

"Tiffany Van der Woodsen, will you be my girlfriend?" Jake pulled out a long box from his pocket and he opened it, it was a necklace with a pendant that has his name on it, "Jake".

I embraced him and I of course, said yes. I was so happy. It was so memorable to me. He hugged me so tight and he kissed me on the cheek. He gave me a bouquet of roses and the whole event ended. Everyone evaporated. That was the most memorable lunch I EVER had. J

….oh really? :D
