Let's see what happened while Lucas asks Krystal out on a date.
Outtake 5 – Chapter 11
Jacob's POV
"Okay guys, I'm leaving early. Close the shop when you guys are done." I said to Quil and Embry as they are working on the cars in the garage.
"Sure thing but why so early?" Embry asked.
"Nessie, Bella, Edward and Lucas are going to their school's volleyball game and Nessie wants me to come with her." I explained.
"You're just gonna sit there and watch humans hit a ball back and forth? Boring." Quil said emphasizing on boring.
"Not exactly," I said with a smirk. "Krystal invited them, mostly to Lucas."
"Oh so now things are getting serious between Lucas and Krystal?" Embry teased as I laughed.
The guys and I were interested to know about Krystal since she and Lucas had lunch together and since then, those two are inseparable from what I've heard. I laughed when Bella told me how Lucas snuck into Krystal's room in the middle of the night to watch her sleep. He is so much like Edward.
I got into my Rabbit and drove my way to Port Angeles High. The place must be packed since there are a lot of cars here at the parking lot. Lucky for me I found a spot. I got out and waited for the others to show up and soon I saw Edward's Volvo pull up a spot. After Nessie ran up and hugged me, much to Edward's annoyance, we all head over to the gymnasium.
Yep I was right; the place is seriously packed. They weren't kidding when they said that it's their rival school they are up against. As we head over to find some seats near the bleachers, I can feel every pair of eyes set on us. I should've known this would happen. This school is full of hormonal mindless teenagers with some creepy old folks. I mean there is this one guy who looks like he's in his forties and he's staring at my Nessie. Unacceptable.
"Remind me again why I bothered to come here?" I asked. Nessie answered that question with a quick kiss on my cheek. "Oh right." I said smiling not caring that Edward groaned.
We walked over to our side of the bleachers and I saw Lucas waving at someone. I looked at where he's looking at and saw a girl with long jet black hair with looks of a movie star who must be Krystal Nessie showed me. Krystal had a huge smile on her face when she saw Lucas. I heard Edward chuckling and Lucas looking embarrassed. Probably from what Lucas was thinking in his head.
"So that's Krystal huh? I teased getting a punched from Lucas in the shoulder.
We found some empty spots in the third row and sat there. Soon the whistle blew and the match began. Here I am again asking why I bothered to come here watching humans pass the ball back forth until I dozed off into a sleep.
Bella's POV
An hour and a half has passed as the game goes on. Krystal plays very well on the court, better than I did when I was human. Good thing I'm no longer clumsy.
Right now the score was twenty two to twenty one and the other school wasn't giving up without a fight. I heard Edward complaining to Lucas to get his eyes off of Krystal because that's all he's been seeing in Lucas's mind which I find it funny especially when Lucas told him that it's his mind and Edward has to deal with it.
Krystal, who was sitting down, has been called back onto the court. She got up and readied herself and turned around searching no doubt for Lucas. Krystal smiled when she saw him and waved at him as Lucas did the same to her and ran onto the court. Nessie squealed next to Lucas when she saw the whole thing.
"See, she likes you." She said to Lucas. "You should definitely ask her out."
"No way," Lucas said to her like she was mad. "What if she finds about me being a vampire? I don't want her thinking I'm a… monster." I could see the disappointment on his face when he thought of it. Doesn't he know that looks or what you are doesn't matter?
"Well you are." Edward teased receiving an annoyed look from Lucas.
"And so are we." I pointed out. "But you're also funny, sweet and very mature, unlike some boys I know." I said referring to Jacob who decided to snore through the entire game.
The three of them laughed at the sight leaving me to roll my eyes. The referee blew the whistle. We looked at the score and it was time for the next match to decide who will win. The other team served to Krystal's team. It wasn't long after two hits when Krystal landed the final strike and the whistle was blown. Our school erupted in cheers as everyone ran to the team joining in on their victory.
"Huh, what, what happened?" Jacob asked waking up all of a sudden.
"She did it, her team won." Lucas said.
"Come on Lucas now's your chance." Nessie said excitedly pulling his arm.
"Uh, I don't know if that's a good id–whoa!" We cut Lucas off when Nessie and I pulled Lucas down the bleachers.
Jacob's POV
I must have been sleeping because the next thing I knew, I was awaken by a whistle and a loud cheer.
"Huh, what, what happened?" I asked waking up all of a sudden.
"She did it, her team won." Lucas said. About time it's over. I was dying of boredom here.
"Come on Lucas, now's your chance." Nessie said excitedly tugging his arm.
"Uh, I don't know if that's a good id–whoa!" Lucas was cut off when Bella and Nessie dragged him down the bleachers leaving me confused and curious at what just happened.
"What's going on?" I asked Edward as we got up and followed them. I saw Edward giving a small laugh.
"Lucas is gonna ask Krystal out." He answered.
"Seriously?" I asked giving out a laugh.
"See for yourself." Edward said. Okay now I'm glad that I decided to come here.
"Go, go." Nessie said excitedly as I saw her pushed Lucas to Krystal. I laughed when he almost trip when he came to her.
"Lucas!" Krystal said as she hugged Lucas.
"Krystal." He said hugging her back.
"I'm so glad you came." Krystal said smiling when they broke apart.
"Wouldn't miss it. You were amazing out there." Lucas said nervously making Krystal blush.
"T-Thanks. I-I couldn't have done it without your support." Krystal said.
"Y-Yeah. Way to go… game… victory…" Wow, Lucas wasn't kidding when he said that he's not good at talking to girls. "Well… see ya." Talk about wow as Lucas turned around and walk back to us.
When Lucas approached us, I grabbed his shoulder. "Ask her." I said and shoved him back to Krystal who turned around to see him coming.
"Back so soon?" Krystal asked with a giggle.
"Yeah, um, Krystal I was wondering if you want to um… go out with me." Lucas said nervously.
I heard Krystal gasped as her eyes widened like she wasn't expecting that.
"S-Sure, when?" She asked.
"Uhhhh," That was all he could say when Lucas stood there and froze.
"Wow he really needs help." I said shaking my head in disbelief.
"It has been a long time since Lucas has been on a date." Bella said.
"Oh give him a break you guys." Nessie said. "He's just very nervous about his new lover."
"Anyone got any ideas before he embarrasses himself?" Edward asked.
"Tell him he can take her to La Push and make it tonight." I suggested as Edward nodded and sent the message to Lucas through his mind.
"Um, we could go to La Push beach…. tonight." Lucas said.
"Y-Yeah, s-sounds great." Krystal said blushing even more. "Well… I got to go and get change."
"Yeah, good, me too. I mean –" Edward and I burst into laughing at Lucas's smooth move. Oh man, wait until the guys hear about this.
Bella's POV
Unbelievable was all I could say. I mean seriously how hard is it for a guy to ask a girl out? Edward never had problems like this when we've dated. Then again he's a hundred and fifteen years old. I shook my head when I heard Edward and Jacob laughing their heads off.
"Real mature guys." I said to them as they continued off laughing.
I sighed as I walked up to Lucas taking his arm and said to Krystal, "He'll pick you up at seven." I said and dragged Lucas away.
"And I thought boys have it easy." I said as I brought Lucas back to Nessie who is squealing like crazy and Edward and Jacob who are still laughing. Well that turned out well. I thought.
Hope you like this chapter. Please review.
