Sophie and Jessie
Ok I know I said 5 updates but it might have to be 4! This is number 3!
Sophie gazed out of the window. It was maths and she knew that she was meant to be listening to Mrs Noah talking about cumulative frequency but it was much more fun to chat to Jessie and daydream. She was thinking about another update for Fanfiction that she was planning to write that night.
"SOPHIE!" shouted the maths teacher, "I ASKED YOU A QUESTION, WHAT IS THE ANSWER?"
"Umm…err…" said Sophie, then she saw Jack, mouthing 27 at her, "err… is the answer 27?" she asked hopefully.
The maths teacher sniffed. It wasn't often that someone managed to escape her Wednesday lunchtime detentions. Sophie smiled her thanks at Jack and went straight back to chatting with Jessie.
"So," said Jessie, raising her eyebrows, "you and Jack?"
"He's called Boe," said Sophie quickly, and then regretted it when Jessie immediately replied with:
"Boe! Only his really close friends call him that… is there something you'd like to tell me?"
Sophie went scarlet but wouldn't tell Jessie any more. This didn't stop her asking all through maths, earning them both a detention from Mrs Noah with Jack, who had forgotten his calculator.
"It's not fair!" grumbled Jessie afterwards, "she never tells Julia and Elaine off and they talk way more than we do!"
"That's because we're special!" said Elaine happily, coming up behind, "anyway, tell me gossip!"
"There is none!" said Jessie innocently. Elaine looked cross and ran off to hockey practice. "So, come on! Tell me all! What is going on between you and Jack!?" she whispered when she was sure that Elaine was out of earshot.
"Well… nothing!" said Sophie miserably.
"Nothing!?" repeated Josie, "but it's obvious that he likes you and you like him, why are you not together!"
"Well… he is only here for another month, he goes back to Cardiff then, there's not point really…" she trailed off.
It took Josie the rest of that day and the next to persuade Sophie to accept that the two of them were perfect for each other, but by their detention on Wednesday lunchtime Sophie was coming round to the idea of it.
"I suppose it couldn't hurt…" was all she would say but Jessie could tell that she was really excited at the thought of it.
As they were standing outside M3 waiting for Mrs Noah to come for their detention Jack, or Boe, came up to them.
"Hey Jessie, hey Sophie," he said calmly, staring straight at Sophie, "this sucks doesn't it!" he said indicating towards the room. The two girls nodded their agreement but Josie had a sudden flash of inspiration.
"If Mrs Noah comes then can you please tell her I've just gone to get my calculator!" she shouted, running down the stairs, leaving the other two alone. Sophie glared after her.
"So…" said Jack, "how's life…"
"Dull!" replied Sophie, blushing.
"Isn't it always!" the boy laughed, "So… I have this friend right… and he was wondering if you and Jessie would like to come on a double date with him and me on Friday night?" he gabbled the last bit so fast that Sophie wanted to laugh.
"Who's the friend?" she asked.
"Owen," said Jack, making someone up off the top of his head.
"Sure, sounds fun!" said Sophie enthusiastically.
And that was how Sophie and Jack ended up on a double date with Jessie and Owen, after not much persuading, on Friday night.
The two girls met the boys at 4:15 at Daniel gate, outside school.
"At last! What took you so long!" joked Owen, "school finished half an hour ago!"
The girls laughed at his stupidity, they had been getting ready of course. Sophie was wearing jeans with a blue and white stripy top; she had also applied make-up and re-straightened her hair. Jack couldn't help but gaze at her, she looked amazing. Jessie looked equally gorgeous, she was also wearing jeans but she had a dress on over the top. It was a mixture of browns and yellows which went really well with her auburn hair. Both girls were wearing heels and had ditched their school bags. The two boys' mouths were almost touching the floor as they walked down into Truro.
They were going to go and see St Trinians at the cinema, the movie was awesome but Jessie and Owen missed a large part of it due to being so involved in each other, Jack spent most of the film thinking about how hot Sophie would look if their school uniform was like that and Sophie watched the movie, glad that they had boys at their school. At the end Jessie and Owen both went off to get their busses, leaving Sophie and Jack outside the cinema.
"Thanks Boe I had a really good time," said Sophie, "it was nice to see that Owen and Jessie got on so well!"
"Yes," smiled Jack, but tears were forming in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" asked Sophie.
"It's just that… well it's kind of embarrassing but… you're my first girlfriend," the boy stammered.
Sophie smiled kindly at the boy who was desperately trying to avoid being seen crying. She moved close to him and gave him a hug, cradling him in her arms to protect him from the big bad world. He looked her straight in the eyes and kissed her hard. Sophie reacted and the two were oblivious to anyone else around them until they were interrupted by a loud cough.
"Sophie! Jack! I do not expect to see that sort of display of affection in public!" shouted Mrs Noah who was now standing right next to the two scarlet - faced pupils.
"Silly bat, just because she's senile doesn't mean that she can control what we do in our free time!" whispered Jack as the strict maths teacher left, causing Sophie to have to control her laughter until the she rounded the corner. The couple joined hands and walked off through the town together, both thinking about the same thing.
