Jack chased me into the village. Some of the villagers children chased after Jack. Finally we got to the top of a hill and Jack tackled me. As soon as escaped from Jack's hold, a bunch of kids jumped on him. He crashed to the ground. I watched in amusement as him and the children ressled on the ground. They finally pinned Jack and got off of him. He looked over to me.

"What, no help?" He asked.

I laughed. "Nope. It was cute and funny. I couldn't ruin their fun." I said.

All of the kids looked at me curiously. One of them turned to Jack.

"Hey Jack who's that?" A ginger boy asked.

"She's a new friend of mine. Her name is Brooklynn." He explained.

The children all looked at me and smiled. They ran over to me. Some of them started shouting names. Like, "Susan" "Randy" "Madeline" and "May". I tried to match their voices with their faces, but it was no use.

"Hey!" Jack yelled. "Don't crowed her… you might scare her." He smirked at me.

"At least they aren't beating me up." I said back. He rolled his eyes.

"What are we going to do today Jack?" A little blond girl asked.

"I was just gonna hang out with Brooklynn today, I didn't really plan anything. Sorry guys." He said.

"That's okay." Said the blond.

"Mabey we could play tag!" Suggested the ginger.

Everyone else agreed. Jack looked over at me. "Well what'd ya say? You wanna play tag?" He asked.

"Sure! Why not?" I said.

We started the game. "Randy and Jack chases first!" The blond said. "Run!"

Everyone scattered. I ran into the forest and hid. Everyone got caught. "Where did Brooklynn go?" Randy asked. I smirked. Jack looked toward my direction and started running towards me. I hid behind the tree. I looked again but Jack wasn't there. Suddenly I heard something from behind. Then something grabbed me.

I turned around to find Jack's smirking face. He had ahold of my arm. "You scared me!" I told him.

"I know I did." He said smartly.

He smirked at me and I glared at him. I found us both starring into each others' eyes. His eyes were so big and brown. They were beautiful…and they were looking straight into mine. I realized how close Jack and I were. We were interrupted with the children's taunting.

"Oooh!" Said the blond.

"Jack's got a girlfriend! Jack's got a girlfriend!" Randy taunted.

The kids laughed at Randy's little chant and chanted with him. Jack glared at them. The kids stopped their taunting.

"She's not my girlfriend! I just met her!" He yelled.

They all laughed again. Jack chased after them. I laughed at the sight. 'He's so childish,' I thought. 'No wonder all of the kids like him.' A few hours went by and the children's parents called for them to eat dinner. They all said their goodbyes and headed to their houses, leaving me and Jack alone.

"So…" I said.

"So…" Jack repeated.

"That was awkward."

"Yeah…. Sorry." He said.

"Sorry for what?"

"F-for starring."

"It's-it's fine. Don't worry." I told him.

"It's um… getting dark. I should get you home."

"Yeah." I agreed. Jack walked me to my house and knocked on my front door. My mother answered it.

"Oh hi Jack!" She said. "Thanks for returning her."

"No problem Mrs. McQue. I had a lot of fun today Brooklynn." He said.

"Me too. See you tomorrow." I said.

"Yeah see ya." He left and mom shut the door.

I went up to my room to find Agnes at the desk in the corner. "Oh back already?" She asked.

"Yep." I sat on my bed.

"So… did you have fun?"

"Yep."

"Were there kids?"

"Yep."

"Well goodnight."

"Night."

I drifted off into sleep. I knew I was still in my petticoat… but I didn't care. I was exhausted from the fun I had. I couldn't wait for the next day.
