CHAPTER TWO

Paige couldn't stop thinking of Jake as she went to work. His weird thing with shoes, sloppy hair and baggy clothing. It made her smile.

"Earth to Paige" a voice spoke, bringing her back to reality.

"Oh sorry Farren, just day dreaming" Paige murmured as she shoved a heap of manure in a shell barrow. Farren was a friend that worked Paige, she didn't have many friends and seemed to only like Paige. Farren had dark black hair that was always in a low ponytail, not caring much about appearance not that Paige was going to complain. Farren had started around the same time Paige joined the crew at the farm, so the two stuck together. It was funny Paige thought because she had no idea where warren lived and whenever the subject came up Farren changed it. Probably just family troubles.

"Sure, so tell me what was you dreaming about" Farren asked, not that she actually cared whenever Paige talked about guys Farren just got bored.

"Well, I met this guy on the way to work" Paige cheered.

"Cool, please I need to know more" Farren sarcastically urged.

So Paige put down her shovel and began to tell Farren about Jake. How she met him in the tree, how he wore no shoes and had frost like sowing on him. Farren surprisingly got interested as Paige described him. A look of horror came upon her face after Paige had finished and said that she was going to meet him tomorrow.

"What's up, you look like you've just seen a ghost" Paige asked puzzled and worried.

"Oh its nothing, what did you say his name was again. And you're sure he had a staff with him?" Farren questioned.

"Well his name was Jake, and I'm pretty sure he did. I mean I didn't see it but he was getting it out of a tree. But why does that matter" Paige asked.

"Oh no reason, just sounds dodge to me, be careful" Farren answered covering up her real thoughts' dam you frost, this one is mine'.

"Don't worry Farren, surprisingly I felt safe….. well I'll see you Wednesday" Paige shouted as she walked away.

The next morning Paige was up early, she forget to get clothing out last night and so was now running around like a headless chicken. She was so excited and really anxious. She suddenly just sat on a chair and huffed as she realised she didn't even know this guy' he could be a serial killer' she thought to herself. As she looked up to the clock she saw the time and grabbed her bag.

"Bye mum, see ya Billy boy" she shouted up the stairs.

She looked in the mirror and winked at herself. She was wearing a flower print sleeveless top, that was a little baggy, not to tight just how she liked it, with her jean shorts on just above the knee. As Paige walked to the bus stop she saw that know one was. 'maybe he forgot' Paige thought. Suddenly from the same tree they first met pooed out Jake.

"Boo" he teased. Paige jumped, like an idiot.

"What was that for, you actually scared me" Paige laughed. Jake tried to apologise but he was on the floor laughing.

"Well when your done having a laughing fit, we can go" Paige said strictly but then broke it by giggling after. Once again Jake tried to speak but he was just trying to get over his fit.

"ok, ok let's go I'm ready now" Jake chuckled as he put on his serious face, which didn't last long as a smile broke out on the twos faces.

The two set off as they walked straight ahead.

"So do you wanna get a bus or walk" Paige offered. A look came over Jake as he gulped and said "Walk, definitely walk".

"Ok Mr fitness, walk it is, well let's cut through the forest then" Paige pointed towards the other side of the road.

As the two walked thourgh the woods, they had many conversations about the wildest of things. Jake had so many options about the environment, so wise like he had lived through it. They got on so well it almost was too good to be true.

"Where here close your eyes" Paige teased.

As they walked through a bush and Paige took Jake's hand away from his eyes. She didn't let go of as she pulled him further into her little paradise. Jake just stood still mouth wide open, as he took in the magnificent scenery.

"Paige this is amazing just look at the lake the way the sun hits it, and that field is just calling to me to go run in it and don't get me started on the tree's their just too tempting" Jake shouted as he running around looking at everything in.

Paige stood stilt as she watched him 'he's no serial killer' she thought as she let out a giggle. She closed her eyes and breathed in the air before she started running around too, joining in with his crazy.

The two crashed into each other. As Paige was laying on top of him, burning red, she saw grass in his hair as she told him "Well I'm glad you like it. I give you fall permission to come here whenever you want. It can be your special place to now". Paige sat up, Jake soon followed and they both sat there in awe of the scenery. Jake took Paige's hand, which made her jumps because she didn't see that coming.

"How about its our special place" Jake offered as he entwined his fingers with hers. Paige couldn't help but smile as her checks turned red. He's touch was so cold but it made her feel so warm inside, she felt like she had known him for ages not just one day.

"Defiantly, I'd like that" Paige said playing with his hand. The two just sat still looking into each other's eyes, until Paige turned away giggling. Suddenly a cold hand met her chin as it manoeuvred her face to face his, that's when he lent in, so close 'oh god his going to kiss me' she thought. 'Ok man now's the moment don't screw it up' Jake thought as he got closer. The two where inches apart. CRACK. They both looked at the direction of the noise. "Ahhhh it's a deer" Paige whispered. "Yeah, what a magnificent creature" Jake murmured sarcastically as he fell backwards to lay down. Paige saw his sad little face and so tried to cheer him up.

"Bet I can beat to the lake" Paige teased as she was already up and running.

Jakes head bobbed up and smiled as he shouted "Hay no fair you got a head start". They were both running free as they chased each other to the lake.

"Beat ya" Jake laughed as he saw Paige still running. Paige saw him near the lake to near the lake. "wow your fast" she panted. As Jake posed victorious, Paige ceased her chance and pushed him in with all her force.

"WWWOOOWWW" he yelled and his body braced itself for impact. As Jake fell in Paige was on the floor laughing.

Suddenly all she could hear was him gurgling water and shouting " Help I… can't…. swim". Then nothing, just a couple bubbles, Jake was under the water.

Paige took her bag and shoes of as she dived into the lake. Going under then coming back up as she shouted his name. Her heart was skipping beats as she thought of what she had done. 'wait ago Paige the one guy that actually liked you and you went ahead and killed him'.

Suddenly something from underneath her grabbed her by her waist as it picked her out of the water. "Boo" Jake said, all wet. "Put me down, Put me down, you idiot I thought I had killed you" Paige shouted whilst hitting his shoulders. He let her go, and started laughing. Paige swam to a more swallow part were she could stand.

"Hay I'm sorry, didn't know I was that important" Jake teased as he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in.

"Well you are, I thought I had killed you. Then we would have unfinished business" Paige sulked as she looked away from him.

"Oh really and what business is that a rematch" Jake joked.

"No this…." Paige said, as she turned to his face and held his head either side, as she placed a kiss on his lips. She could feel his cheeks warm up as he smiled and kissed her back.
