Chapter 9: The Little Trouble Maker

Jake had just finished reading Rose's e-mail. He was so happy! She had agreed to meet him tonight!

"It's a date!" he shouted.

"What date?" Haley asked, standing in the doorway.

Jake smacked his forehead. He had forgotten to close the freaking door! He quickly got out of his chair.

"Oh! Th-there's no real date." he stalled. "I was just, uh...reahersing! Yeah! For this school play where a guy goes on a date. That's right! It's called, uh..."It's A Date!" Hehehe..."

Haley rolled her eyes.

"Suuuure...Well, it's time to come eat dinner. Oh, and good luck on your date tonight!"

Having said that, she merrily skipped out of his room.

"Jake honey." Mrs. Long said, "You sure are eating fast. Why don't you slow down a bit?" she suggested.

Jake was wolfing down his food so he'd have plenty of time to get ready to go meet Rose.

"Sorry Mom." he said in between bites. "I-I'm just so hungry!"

Haley grinned mischieviously.

"He's just excited about his big date!" she said.

Jake moaned.

"I told you! It's not a date!"

Jake's Dad chuckled.

"A date, huh Well, son. I think maybe it's time you and I have 'The Talk'."

Jake turned red. He took the last bite of his meatloaf.

"Well, I'm done! That sure was good Mom! Well, gotta run! Bye!"

His Dad shrugged. "Was it something I said?"

Jake hurriedly ran upstairs before his parents could see how embarrassed he was. He ran into his room and closed the door behind him. He had a lot to do before he met up with Rose tonight...
