Hi everybody!! This is Loopylou again, sadly still no DaleJr8FanDMP :-(
~Where are you DaleJr8?...I miss ya xx!!~
I have a feeling something has happened and I'm starting to get a little worried about him, its been a month now since I last heard from him and the last time we went this long without talking was because the guy landed himself in the hospital with a dislocated jaw. So if we all send him a kind word, maybe he'll come back to us sooner.
On other news for those who might be interested, Hilary Duff just entered the UK charts with her single 'Come Clean' at number 18 (which is a far cry from the number 9 she reached with 'So Yesterday'). Also, over here in the UK we have a segment on a popular tv show called 'On The Spot' where viewers get to ask that weeks celebrity lots of embarrassing questions, and last week Hilary was put 'on the spot', her final question was 'who do you fancy the most between Gordo and Ethan and she picked Gordo!!! Awww...but of course we all knew he was the best looking anyway!
Anyway, enough rambling...on with the story! I know the last chapter was rather short but I did promise we would make up for it with this one, I hope we've delivered!!
Disclaimer: We don't own anything.
~Chapter Three~
Standing alone, holding onto her lunch tray tightly, Chloe searched the lunchroom for a place to sit. As she looked around she could see all the cheerleaders huddled together with their noses buried deep in the latest fashion magazine, the average stereotypical jocks were sat near the cheerleaders, all were occupied in a serious competition to see who could belch the most letters from the alphabet. In all honesty, she expected Jake to be sitting there too, what with his charming good looks and his tall physique, but there was no sign of him.
Chloe quickly made her way over to an empty table and sat herself down. She could hear people around her whispering about the 'new girl'. The cheerleaders had closed their magazine and were now looking her way, laughing amongst themselves. Chloe hung her head low concentrating on the odd looking food in front of her, trying to avoid eye contact with all the cheerleaders.
All of a sudden the laughter and whispering stopped, she raised her head to see everyone just staring with their jaws dropped low. She couldn't for the life of her figure out what was happening until she heard someone speak from behind her.
"Can I sit here?"
Chloe turned around to see Jake standing their holding a brown paper bag and a soda.
Chloe's face went from a frown to a smile the second she laid her eyes on Jake.
"Sure," she replied softly, deciding to play it cool.
Jake took a seat opposite her as noise filled the room again. Chloe started poking around at her food, trying to discover what exactly she was going to eat.
"I wouldn't eat that if I were you," said Jake causing her to look back up at him.
"Here, you can share my sandwich with me," Jake said, holding out half of his homemade sandwich.
"Are you sure?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah, go ahead." Chloe reached out and took the sandwich, her hand brushed against his, she definitely felt sparks, ' I wonder if he did too?" she thought.
"Thanks Jake," she said offering him a smile.
"Think nothing of it," Jake assured throwing Chloe his best smile, in turn causing Chloe to blush.
The conversation died down as both teens ate their sandwiches. 'Aww he's so nice and.....oh no' Chloe's eyes were drawn away from the boy in front of her to the cheerleader that was heading their way.
She stopped at their table. "Hey Jake," she said, completely ignoring Chloe.
"Hey Ashlie," he replied with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"You were great at try outs the other day," Ashlie complimented.
"Thanks," he replied.
Ashlie smiled and let out a flirtatious giggle before asking, "now Jake, wouldn't you much rather come and sit with me and the girls instead of this.....loser?"
Jake looked at Chloe, he could tell she was hurt by Ashlie's comment, who wouldn't be?
"Thanks for the offer Ashlie but...." He looked to Chloe before continuing," I'm happy sat right here with my new friend, Chloe."
"Ugghh, whatever!" Ashlie said before storming off.
"Thanks, but you can go sit with your friends if you want to, I don't mind," Chloe said, desperately hoping he wouldn't leave her.
"Well I do mind, I wouldn't go off and leave you alone. Besides, those people aren't my friends. True, I get along with the guys on the field and the cheerleaders because they sort of come with the deal, but off the field, we have nothing in common."
"So.....you play football?" Chloe asked, attempting to keep the conversation going.
"Yeah, and I'm pretty good if I do say so myself," replied Jake with a bright smile. "What about you, play any sports?"
"I like gymnastics, my dad sort of got me into it a few years ago."
"My mom used to do gymnastics," Jake replied stating a fact.
"Really? Was she any good?" Chloe asked showing interest.
Jake nodded his head, "yeah, she won a medal or something."
The conversation drew to silence, only quick glances and smiles were shared between the two teens as they both ate their lunch.
After they ate, they both stood, gathered their books and threw the remainders of their lunch in the trash. The bell rang, signalling the end of lunch, "so Chloe, what class you got now?" Jake asked.
"Biology....You?"
"Same here, come on, I'll walk with you."
As they were heading to their lesson, Jake chanced a look at Chloe, she seemed to be struggling with all her books. "Would you like me to carry your books for you again?" Jake offered.
'Oh my God, he's so kind,' Chloe thought. Thankful for his suggestion she replied, "if you're sure?"
Jake just smiled, "give them here," he said as he held out his hands.
Chloe returned the smile, while handing her books over. "Thanks."
"You're welcome. Now, do you have a lab partner yet for Biology?" Jake asked, hopeful that she hadn't.
"You've got to be kidding, you're the only person who is talking to me so far. I just figured the teacher would pair me with whoever was left," explained Chloe.
"In that case, would you like to be my partner?"
She stopped and looked up at Jake, a smile forming on her face "I'd like that."
Jake returned the smile "well good, but we best keep on walking or we're gonna be late, from what I hear, the teacher can be pretty mean."
Lucky for them, they appeared to have arrived before the teacher, so they found seats together near the back and got themselves ready to start.
Jake handed Chloe her books, he couldn't help but notice the title of one of them, "Advanced Maths hey? You must me pretty good," Jake asked.
"I'm not bad."
"Do you think you could help me out with my maths sometime?" Asked Jake.
"Yeah sure, how about after school?" Suggested Chloe. "We could go back to my house."
"That would be great, thanks. I'll walk you home again if you'd like?"
At that point, the teacher had just walked into the classroom. "Hello students, I am your Biology teacher for the next year, my name is Mr Johnson. Can you all open your text books to the first page, Introduction to Bio...."
As the teacher rambled on Chloe turned to Jake with a smile and whispered, "I'd like."
