It's been almost two weeks since i'd started this school and me and jake were friends i guess but in all fairness i didn't quite understand what we was, after all i knew my way round now and had made some friends but jake still insisted that he walked me to all my classes and picked me up after they'd finnished even when it came to break and luch he'd always retrive me from class and walk me to my mates and leave to find his, i didn't think much of it but the girls had been saying that maybe he had a crush on me, i mean why would a guy like him like a girl like me.
"Oh come on, you know it's true, think about it most guys would have left you to fend for your self after a day, yet hes still looking after you even though you don't need him to, are you telling me that's not what guys who like a girl do? well?" evie said slightly smug at the fact that she knew deep down she was proberly right.
"Well... if he did like me, not saying he does, but don't you think he'd said something by now?" i answerd trying to make he see my point of veiw on this.
"Come on hes a guy since when do they just blurt out that they like a girl, they just make it obvious and wait till she says 'oh btw i think im in to you'" she replied with light laughter in her eyes. " Plus it wouldn't surprise me if he does like you, when hes around you he doesn't notice any one." pointing out what she had observed from earlier when he dropped me to the girls.
A couple days had past and i had noticed the way jake was with me and how he was with other girls and just like evie had said it was obvious that he liked me but i had no idea on how i was going to get him to admit it so like any one in my situation i decided to let my grades slip in english and in all fairness it wasn't just an excusse for me to spend some extra time with him i was generally having trouble understanding the topic.
"Hey Jake do you get what we are doing im really stuck" i asked looking at the sheet and then into his eyes .
" erm... yeah what don't you get D?" looking into my eyes and then glancing over the sheet to see where i was up to.
" I don't get all of it to be honest, you know like all the weird poems and sayings its so confusing how am i surpossed to know what he's saying" i admitted with a light laughter in my tone.
" Well it is shakespear D, you're not surpossed to understand him" he replied while the famous smile of his spread across his face as began to laugh along with me.
" Helpful, hey what you doing tonight?" I asked smiling while staring int his eyes.
"Erm... nothing, why you wanna take me on a date aye D?" winking at me and smiling even more.
" Ha ha you wish," i winked " acturly i was going to ask if you'd help understand what shakespear is going on about, but if you'd rather go out on dates then i'll guess i will have to ask evie instead.
" Hey hey hey, i never said that i'd rather go on a date, of course i'll help you out D" smiling " and if it makes you feel better i will even let you tell everyone it's a date." he said playfully while he nudged my arm gently.
" Oh my really, omg i can't believe it, im going on a date with Jacob black, i must be dreaming" rolling my eyes at him " i never knew that asking a FRIEND to help me to understand shakespear's work was a date."
" Hey, it doesn't matter what we are doing we're spending time together out side of school which makes it a date" winking at me with his smile just as big as ever. " Plus you say'in you wouldn't date me? Aye D?"
" Okay fine have it your way it can be a date if you want it to be BUT im not saying that im counting it as a date, and i never said i wouldn't plus you've never asked me out on a date so shut it Jake" smiling at him and lightly bumping into him.
" Good" winking " so am i coming with you straight after school or am i meeting you at yours later?" he asked me while looking into my eyes.
" Erm... i guess we could do it straight after school and when we're done we could grab a bite to eat in town" i replied not once looking away from his eyes.
" Cool looks like we're car pooling" he smiled winking at me.
shortly after the bell rang and he walked me to the girls gave me a hug goodbye and whispered in my ear
" see you after lunch beautiful" he smiled at me as he walked away.
as soon as he was gone evie straight away asked " Omg what was all that about in english D?"
" what was what?" i replied trying to pretend i had no idea what she was talking about.
" Oh don't act like you don't know what im talking about D, i saw you too talking and looking into each others eyes and the winking, so come on spill what's going on aye?" she said holding my shoulders.
" Oh that, it was nothing im not doing so well in english and i asked him if he'd come over mine and help me out you know like tutor me, it's nothing big." i answered hiding my excitement.
" So you mean like a date?" a smile beginning to form.
" Well yeah i guess you could say that, as we're going to grab a bite when we're done" a smile forming on my face now no longer able to hide it any more.
" OMG, i told you he likes you i told you, ahh i can't believe it i knew it and you didn't believe me" smiling and jumping up and down.
" I know, i know, and well i was thinking the more time we spend together the closer i am to getting him to admit he likes me" smiling and hugging her.
" You better call me tonight and let me know all about it, i mean it you better " smile still on her face.
" Okay evie, you know i will".
