Chapter 5
A month had passed since the school had been enlightened to Jacob's true nature. Immediately, he was given I.S.S. for conspiracy against the school. He was also put into counseling for his other psychological problems. Stephanie was glad, for she knew that Jacob was finally getting the help he needed.
Because Jacob spent so much time in I.S.S. and counseling, Stephanie rarely ever saw Jacob. Whenever she did, though, he was too far away for her to talk to. One day, however, their paths crossed once more.
Stephanie walked down the hallway, and she ran into Jacob, who just came out of the counselor's office for a session of counseling. "Hi, Jacob," said Stephanie.
"Hello," said Jacob. "Listen, I know that your dad called the school about me."
"What?" Stephanie gasped. "What are you talking about?" She didn't want Jacob to get mad at her. He might even hurt her the way he would have hurt everyone in school.
"Don't deny it, Stephanie. Don't worry about it," said Jacob. Stephanie looked surprised. Jacob didn't seem mad. "I'm glad that I got counseling. I feel so much better about myself."
"Gee, thanks," Stephanie said.
"You're welcome."
"So, when do you get out of counseling and I.S.S.?"
"Well, I get out of I.S.S. next week, but I still have to go to counseling for off and on sessions just to make sure I don't relapse," said Jacob.
"Next week is when the dance is," Stephanie said. "Why don't you be my date?"
Jacob was awestruck. Nobody had ever been his girlfriend before. "Yes! Thank you!" exclaimed Jacob. "I'd love to! Finally, stuff is working out right."
A week later, Stephanie and Jacob went to the dance together, and they had lots of fun together and even kissed. Since then, the two were boyfriend and girlfriend. Stephanie was glad that she met Jacob, as she helped him with his problems. She really liked Jacob, too. She thought the two made a wonderful couple. Her encounter with Jacob would be one of the more memorable moments of her life.
