Update: Just wanted to clear something up, Sasha isn't dating Jake. Nikki
only thought that Sasha was Jake's girlfriend because she was baby-sitting
Jenny.
Chapter 6
Lucas sat in calculus class, impatiently tapping his pencil against the desk. It was his last class of the day, and he really wanted to get home. Well, not to his house, but Sasha's house. His mom was working late again and Sasha was going to make him dinner. Now that Lucas realized his feelings for Sasha, he had to tell her. And it was making him really nervous.
Finally, the bell rang and Lucas practically ran out of class. On his way to Sasha's locker, he bumped into Haley.
"Hey you! I feel like I haven't seen you in forever. So, have you decided who you're taking to prom?"
"Um, not really."
"Ok. Nathan's having a party after prom, be there, okay?" she said, playfully punching him in the arm.
"Okay. I gotta go now, but I'll see you later."
After he got back from playing basketball, Jake came home. He stopped when he came to the mailbox. The last few days, it had been a disappointment, bringing no news about college. But today was going to be different. He took a deep breath and opened the mailbox. His heart began racing when he saw an envelope marked Duke University. This was it. The contents of this envelope would decide what would happen to Jake's life. Ok, maybe he was being dramatic, but he was too nervous to open it.
He went inside, still holding the unopened envelope in his hands, which were beginning to get clammy. It was now or never. He ripped it open and pulled out a single sheet of paper. It read Congratulations Mr. Jagelski, you have been accepted into Duke University for the 2004-2005 year. We apologize for the delay due to some missing files at the admissions office. Please notify us of your decision no later than May 23rd. If you accept, further information will be sent to you shortly.
Not realizing he had been holding his breath while reading the letter, Jake exhaled deeply. It was all going to be fine.
Around 6pm, Lucas entered Sasha's house, feeling very nervous. He let himself in through the front door, which she had left open for him. Inside, he found Sasha cooking something on the stove. She was just wearing sweatpants and a tank top, but Lucas felt she looked so beautiful. She turned around and addressed him.
"Hey, I'm making pasta. It'll just take 20 minutes. Can you feed this to Jenny?" she said, handing him some baby food.
"Okay, sure."
He sat down on the couch and fed Jenny. Then he put her in her crib and turned the TV on. Sasha brought them food. After they ate, they watched TV. Lucas couldn't take it any longer.
"Sasha." he began, but he just kissed her instead. At first, she didn't respond, but after a few seconds, she kissed him back. After making out for a while, they slowly parted.
"Sasha, will you go prom with me?" he asked, nervous of what her reaction would be.
She smiled sweetly. "Of course I will", she said kissing him again.
