Part 3
"Jake what's happened?" Bella asked. Jake took a deep breath.
"Well its not that we're having problems i just--well Hamilton's parents
want to met his girlfriend, which would be me but he doesn't want them to
met me cause they've seen me before. So he wants a girl that doesn't go to
Rawley to go with him. He asked if I'd ask you. But-"
Bella said right away. "No way! I'm out I can't sorry Jake! I love ya but I
cant! Or at least I refuse!" Jake smiled.
"I know I know but that's not the problem! I think that he is embarrassed of
me. I mean I know i really can't go to dinner, cause the dean knows me but
he could have at least asked. Maybe I'm not good enough for his parents?"
Bella gave Jake a hug
"Sweetie he loves you, if you don't know that already you have problems. The
boy is head over heals of course you are good enough for his parents. But
I'm sure he just doesn't want the dean to find out about you because he
doesn't want you to leave," Jake smiled and they hugged again. Just then
Sean came running out.
"Don't I look fabulous," Sean was twirling around in circles. He was in
total drag.
"Sean what the hell?" Bella said.
"I found this in wardrobe I think I make a pretty sexy girl," Sean laughed
showing them all his skinny
little legs.
"Perfect, just perfect Sean do you know how much I adore you as a friend?"
Jake said walking up to him and swinging her arms around one of his
shoulders. When Bella realised what Jake was going to do she started to
laugh.
"What.... what?" Sean asked. Jake explained to Sean the whole story. "So you
want me to dress up in drag and pretend to be a girl to go to dinner with
Hamilton's parents?" Sean said. Bella was still laughing.
"Yep, so will you?" Jake said. Sean thought about it for a minute.
"Sure! This is gonna be fun! But i have a problem." Sean said. Jake looked
at him she knew it was too good to be true.
"What?" she said in a whinny voice.
"I can't walk in high heels," Sean said. This just triggered Bella to laugh
some more.
"Sean, me and Bella will teach you don't worry." Jake smacked him over the
head. "Come on we gotta go
buy you an outfit you won't fit into any of my clothes" Jake said to Sean.
That was Bella's queue to get out as soon as she could.
"I'm going back to my house to make tickets, and get some people to agree to
do acts in my show." she seemed so excited.
"Bella don't forgot. Hamilton is not to know about this he just thinks Sean
is a girl named... Samantha," Jake said.
"Wait Hamilton knows me won't he recognise me?" Sean said. Jake smiled
"Not after I get done with you he won't."
Bella headed out back to the gas station.
"So Sean where's the nearest mall?" They walked to Sean's house to borrow
his mom's car.
~*~
"So I'm going to go to a movie with Jake wanna come?" Hamilton said shouting
over the counter while Scout was trying desperately to clean up and close.
Scout looked over at the window.
"Well when are you going with Jake cause she is walking over there with
Sean," Scout said. Hamilton looked over.
"Catch you later man, bye," Hamilton said running out the door. "Jake, Jake!
Where the hell
are you going? I've been waiting there for a damn half an hour!" Hamilton
yelled. Jake was so embarrassed that she was yelled at. She felt like she
was four, and if he only knew that she was doing this all to help him and at
the same time do a good joke! Sean looked over.
"Um Jake meet me at my house. Hamilton catch you later." Jake nodded.
"Oh bye Sean" Hamilton said. When Jake could see that Sean was far enough
away so he couldn't hear anything.
She said, "what is wrong Hamilton? I told you I was going to see Bella I
said I'd be back in a minute." Hamilton looked kinda disgusted. Jake didn't
understand.
"Then where the hell are you going with Sean?" Hamilton said. Jake laughed
"Hamilton your jealous of Sean?..we are working on something together.
Actually it's something for you I just---"
Hamilton cut her off. "Do whatever the hell you want Jake i didn't want to
go to the movies anyway."
Hamilton stormed off.
Jake just stood there. She didn't really know what to do. She was on the
verge of tears. She wanted to talk to Will. He was the closest person to her
now besides Hamilton. Well there was Bella but she never understood. She
took out her cell phone that she got last Christmas from her mom.
"Sean? Um I can't make it. No I'm fine. I have to go see Will. um.. go get
the outfit yourself. Nothing too skimpy. Skirt though is a must! Okay I'll
come by tomorrow night? Tonight? I'll bring pizza. But..if i have too much
work since its Monday I'll just come by Tuesday night. Look I'll call you
tomorrow. Okay bye!" she hung up the phone.
Hamilton was no where to be seen. Scout had already locked up and was
walking back to the dorms. Jake ran up to Scout. "Hey can I walk back with
you?" Scout looked over.
"Yeah sure Jake why not? What's up?" Jake didn't really tell Scout about
Hamilton. They talked about Bella's talent show and Scout said Bella asked
him to be in it. Scout decided to learn how to juggle.
"Okay Jake we're here so I'll talk to you later.. I have a lot of work so I
won't be around but if you need to talk you can always drop by my room."
Jake thought that was sweet of him to say!
"Thanks Scout!" she was almost in tears but tried to hold them back. So much
had happened; today she didn't really know what to do! Jake walked over
towards Will's room. She knocked and Scout opened.
"Damn you need to see me that soon?" Scout asked.
"No actually I'm here to see Will" Jake walked through the door.
"Hey j-j-ja-aaacho!" Will sneezed. Will looked horrible his eyes were all
red and he looked like he hadn't slept in days. He was sneezing and coughing
and by the sound of his voice his throat was sore. Scout was on his bed
making as much noise as possible.
"Will are you okay?" Jake said sitting next to him on the bed.
"I'm never going to get any sleep with him this loud." Will said in a
screechy little voice.
"Why don't you come stay with me in my room. I can sleep with Scout or
something since you guys have a double bed" Jake said. He didn't look like
he was going to agree but she knew he wanted to so she
said. "I'm not taking no for an answer. Let's go," Jake said. They packed up
his medicine and she walked him over to her room. Jake looked around.
"Maybe I'll just stay here with you," Jake said in a sad little voice. Will
looked at her not really understanding why she was sad. Will was already in
bed by now. Jake plopped down next to him and explained everything. She
basically poured her whole heart out to Will. She was in complete tears.
"And he yelled at me Will, he has never yelled at me and then he just walked
away. Maybe he doesn't
love me anymore?" Jake was crying hysterically. Will was trying the best he
could to comfort her.
"Well Jake maybe he's just jealous..he's crazy for you. I mean look at the
way he looks at you. ACHOO!" . Jake wasn't convinced
"Then why didn't he come by yet? Or at least called?" Jake said, trying to
wipe away her tears. Will had no answer. He was a hopeless romantic in his
dream world but when it come to real girls he wasn't the best at dating.
Jake felt bad.
"Oh god look at me your totally sick and here I am complaining and making
you feel worse. I've been talking for.." Jake looked down at the watch it
was 5:30. She had been talking to him since she got there at 2, "..for 2 and
a half hours." She was quiet for a minute just thinking. When she looked
over, Will was
asleep.
"WOW the medicine kicks in fast," she thought to herself. She was really
tired. Today was so hectic. She got some boxers and decided to take a shower
and go to sleep. She got all her stuff together so she could go over to stay
in Scout's room after.
~*~
Hamilton was pacing around his room.
"God what did I do?" he thought to himself. "I'm such an asshole. She
doesn't deserve me she is the love of my life, she only wants to make me
happy and this is how i treat her what's wrong with me."
He was banging his head lightly against the wall. When he realised, it
actually did hurt; he just let himself lay back in his bed. It was 6:oo he
was so tired he just fell asleep.
~*~
Bella was at her desk typing up the agenda for the talent show. In a day she
got 20 people to perform. The slots were full. She was so excited. She
called Scout.
"Hey Scout are you still doing something for the show?" Bella asked. He was
in his room practicing juggling. It was hard to juggle with one hand though,
since he had to hold the phone.
"Yeah Bella of course! I can't wait.. I'll come by tomorrow or something and
help you make props and stuff..or whatever your doing," Scout said. Bella
laughed.
"I'll catch you later Scout!" she hung up the phone. Just then Jake walked
into Scout's room Will gave her a key. Scout was in tighty whiteys. His
boxers were dirty. Scout didn't see Jake because he was really into
juggling.
"I pictured you a boxers guy," Jake laughed.
"Holy crap! What are you doing?" Scout said. Grabbing a pair of pants.
"Will staying in my room cause your too loud. Don't bother changing it's not
like i haven't seen it all before. I'm going to sleep." Jake crawled into
Will's bed and dosed off. Scout was bright red with embarrassment.
~*~
Hamilton woke up when his mom came in.
"Munchie it's 11 o'clock do you want to change into your jammies?" Hamilton
looked around.
"What? Oh god i fell asleep for that long. Um mom i gotta go ...pick up a
term paper." Kate was confused. But before she could say anything Hamilton
ran out of the room down stairs and out of the house." God I never went to
go see Jake she must hate me! I never apologised!" Hamilton thought to
himself
.~*~
There was a knock at jakes door. Will woke up. He felt a little better he
was still pretty sick though. He hoped it was a 24-hour virus or something.
He was half asleep when he opened the door.
"Hamilton-Scout-what who?" Will said. Hamilton looked at him strange
"Where's Jake? Will," Hamilton said.
"She let me sleep with --her. She went to shower with Scout I think" Will
said. Will didn't even know what
he was saying he was talking in puzzles, but Hamilton thought he had a
pretty good idea. Hamilton drew back his arm and punched Will right in the
face. Will fell to the ground. He was pretty awake now.
"Man, what the hell is wrong with you Ham?" Will stood up his nose was
bleeding.
"You slept with Jake? How could you? How could she? I haven't even got --..I
mean what the hell were you thinking?"
