Friday
Yay! It is Friday! Today I get to hang out with Jay… I think about what might happen while hanging out with Jay as I walk down hallways that have middle school graduation dance posters hanging. A lot of pre-teens that are graduating are getting ready and are looking forward to the big graduation dance 2 weeks before the last day of school. But I don't care, I'm not going! I have to study for the last exams left of the school year. It's not like anyone would ask me anyway. Walking outside, I see Lena and Jay. God, they already made up! The game was on Wednesday. I notice something else that sets us apart, she's wearing heels and I'm wearing sneakers. I just sigh, what can I do? Jay gives Lena a ride home and I walk home alone. No! I won't let this get me down! I'm hanging out with him at 5:00 it's no biggie! I've got to stay positive…!
She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time
I wear a T-shirt that has :P on it, dark wash jean shorts and of course, sneakers that match the shirt. (It has :P on it too.) I hop down stairs to see Jake and Daddy pigging out together and doing male bonding time.
"Hey squirt, how are you?" Daddy says with a mouth full of chips.
"Ew, daddy! Don't eat with your mouth full and use a napkin and you better clean this up later! Oh and I'm fine."
"Just like mom, eh dad?" Jake elbows Daddy.
"Aw don't worry Jakey, you can clean up too!" I innocently grin. Daddy elbowed Jake back.
"Well that is why we named her May. Think about it son, the last part of Renesmee. "Jake just laughed.
"Ah, but she's right Jakers. I'll go get the vacuum." Daddy says as he gets up and leaves the room.
"Hey, where are you going?" Jake finally notices that I'm dressed up-ish.
"I'm going to hang out with Jay." I answer him, trying not to sound too excited.
"Uh-huh. Are you going with anyone? Where are you going?" He demanded. I've got to admit it felt nice having an overprotective brother sometimes. It makes me feel…safe or cared about.
"No, we're hanging out alone and I'm not sure where we're going to hang out. But probably just around the park." He gave me a suspicious look.
"If Jay does anything, I'll beat him into a pulp. And let's just say dad wouldn't disapprove…"
"Wha-what does that mean…?"
"It means he shouldn't try anything on Jacob Black's little girl."
"Umm…Okay! I'm going to leave now. It's 5:00." I announce awkwardly.
"Speak of the devil." Jake mumbles and rolls his eyes as we hear the doorbell ring. I open the door. Jay was adorable in a white plain T-shirt and worn out jeans. I grin wide and he returned my grin with his own.
He grins widely and says: "It's good to see you, sunshine."
"You too! Let's go and have some fun!" And with that, he led me away and we walked to the park, which only took 10 minutes to walk to. We sat down on a park bench in front of the playground.
"Isn't this great! Hanging out as friends, I really need it." Huh, what was that crack I just heard? Oh right! THAT WAS MY HEART! …FRIENDS THAT'S IT! THAT'S ALL WE'RE EVER GOING TO BE!
"Uh-huh…"I said looking away from Jay.
"So, how's school? Any drama? Any bad grades, which I highly doubt."
"Good, no bad grades for sure. Drama? Hardly, the most drama I've ever had was chewing gum in class." We chuckled. I pointed to the playground.
"Hey, remember when we were little, we always play on that playground."
"Oh, yeah! Everyday, after school out parents would bring us here and watch us play and do crazy stuff." It was silent for a moment; we were both remembering the times. But Jay broke the silence by bursting out in laughter.
"What? What are you laughing about?"
"J-just remembering old times. Remember the time when Jake actually went with us to the park instead of staying at home, watching T.V.?"
"Yeah, he always said that he had better things to do."
"Don't you remember…when at the swings"-At this point I burst out laughing. It was when Jake was 13 and I was 10. There were these really cute girls and Jake wanted to impress them by jumping off the swing. Since it was summer the water park in the park was open. So we played in the water park for a while and then went to the playground in our bathing suits. Jake jumped off the swing but his trunks got stuck on the swing! He landed on his two feet, butt naked… next to the girls; I can still remember everyone's faces. Jake's red, hot and embarrassed face, the girls shocked faces with mouths to the floor and Quil, Jay and I, were tomato red from laughing so hard. It was so easy to be happy around Jay.
Walking the streets
With you and your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking
This is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
"Hey, isn't this easy?" I asked Jay after we both stopped laughing. He cocked his head.
"What's so easy?"
"Being happy around each other, enjoying each other's company…" He smiled at me.
"Yep!"
"You know, you've got a smile that could light up the whole town!" I joked but I really did think that. His smile became even wider.
"Thanks."
"I haven't seen it in a while, since she brought you down."
"I'm fine, seriously!" Jay insisted.
"Yeah…okay." Jay shrugged. Of course I didn't believe it, I knew him better than that! We talked for hours until we got interrupted by a certain someone…
And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile
Since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey whatchu doing
With a girl like that
"JAY! I've been looking for you everywhere! I missed you, let's have dinner!" My heart cracked even more when I heard her voice. It was Lena. Jay abruptly jumped up.
"Lena, what are you doing here?" Jay sounded surprised. I wasn't. Lena was wearing a black halter under her hoodie and with black jeans and heels. She was a 9 and I was a measly 5. Mostly because she was wearing high heels like any other cheerleader and I was wearing sneakers.
She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time
"I want to have dinner with you, I missed you." Ugh, she used her girly voice. Jay always falls for it. Jay turns back to look at me.
"Sorry May…"
"It's fine." I said, trying to hide a little bit of anger. And before Jay could even say thank you, Lena grabbed his arm and kissed him in front of me. My heart was shattered, broken into pieces like glass or a vase. She gave me a menacing glare and I rolled my eyes, unable to do anything about it. So I walked home alone. I didn't say a word at dinner and I went straight upstairs and did what I always did when I was upset. I sang. I got my singing from my Grandma Sarah, that's what Grandpa Billy told me, just like my eyes. I took my guitar and started to play and sing Taylor Swift's Invisible. I silent tear rolled down my face and on to my guitar. Drip-drop, drip-drop. Maybe I should have played Teardrops On My Guitar instead…
A/N Tell me what you think and thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I did writing it. Thanks for the reviews so far! I want to see what you think of it and the first person to review it gets to be or make a character in my story! It's going to be a girl, FYI. And she has to be a fashion chic. I'll send a message. And I am officially announcing that there will be a sequel so you can get to see Jay and all the rest of the wolf boys become wolves and maybe…imprint? Anyways, REVIEW! (") Ducky says so!
