Hey guys, here is Chapter 4 for you :D hope you enjoy this as much as I have.
Sorry for the delay again.
"Jess can you um.. lessen your grip on me you're squeezing the life out of me"
"Oh sorry Les, you know I didn't mean to you know 'hug the day lights out of you' Les" he told her with a crimson red face
He tried facing away from her but she put her hand on his cheek and faced him towards her.
"Jess don't worry, well anyway we have to go"
"Yeah, I know but I don't want this to end so soon" he said with a slight frown and quivering lips
"Well we'll still see each other tomorrow" she put her hand behind his neck and pulled him towards her for a brief kiss "I almost forgot about our homework for Mrs Myers -the English Teacher-"
"Oh yeah, what was it again?"
"Have you forgotten already?" she asked playfully also punching his arm "the homework is about what we did on this break, individually that is but I asked Mrs Myers if we can do it together because were neighbors and were always together and she said that its OK"
"So how are we going to do it? are we going to like write an essay or something?"
"No Jess, she said to make a 10 presentation like a video"
"How are we going to video ourselves, who's going to narrate and Les it's embarrassing!" he whined
"Come on Jess it's about the two of us and everyone else will be doing the same thing"
"but not in pairs, they're doing it individually"
"Jess don't complain" she leaned in and gave him another brief kiss "Let's do it tomorrow 'kay?"
"sure" he mumbled
They parted ways to their own homes and called it a night.
3 days have past and now it's Monday for the young couple and the first lesson was Math.
"This is going to be tough" said Jesse
"Don't worry silly, we'll get through this" she slapped his arm playfully "well we have English after Maths"
An hour has passed and now its time for English. When they both walked in the class had it's normal volume of noise. Scott Hoager and Gary Fulcher smirking at Jesse and Leslie making kissing noises then laughing loudly with their off-tone voices.
"Okay class please present me your homework on what you have done on the break" said Mrs Myers
The class groaned with resentment, hoping that Mrs Myers would have forgotten about the homework. Unfortunately, that was a long shot for the students, Mrs Myers is very keen to see what the children have done during the break.
First would be Aarons, but since he cannot record so he worked in a pair with Ms Burke here -the whole class laughed aloud-. Both asked me if they can do it in a pair since they spend each day together. Now let us begin "Ms Burke, Mr Aarons please come up and present your homework".
"Yes Ma'am." they both chorused
Jesse and Leslie started towards Mrs Myers and handed her what seems to be her camera. Mrs Myers took the camera off Leslie's hands and plugged it into the homeroom TV, then called Leslie to direct her which video it was. Then the video started playing with everyone at the edge of their seats eager to know what they did on the break.
The video started with both of them introducing themselves in it
August 17
Hi my name is Leslie Burke and Im Jesse Aarons
"We are going to show you what we do on breaks. Each morning me and Jess meet up here on the dirt road which is between our houses, we would normally run down the road through the cattle pasture and into the forest where we usually hang out but due to an accident that happened yesterday our unique way of getting over the creek has ended.
The video blanked and replayed again but now this time both being infront of the creek where the rope has been Leslie then pointed over the remaining piece of rope which dangled downwards "Thats the rope me and Jesse use to swing over the creek but yesterday he stopped me from swinging on it first and he tested it and the rope pretty much snapped and he fell over" she shrugged "We pretty much spend the whole day over the creek and we've also built a tree house!"
"repaired it" Jesse corrected "Most of the floor was still there and not much of the wall planking remained so we got some lumber from the leftover renovations for Leslie's house and used my parents equipment to rebuild it"
"That's all we can tell you because that's our place and its private, now moving on" The video blanked out and continued again "Were hiking our way back home, normally it would take up to an hour to get home if we were running but because were hiking it would take up to 2 hours, also we just started hiking and its now 3:30 in the afternoon so were probably getting home in about 5." She pointed down the road and then up towards the sky pointing out that its actually the afternoon. She then looked at Jesse "Hey Jess what are we going to do when we get back." she inquired.
"Well, we do what we normally do either we stay at my place or at your place until one of us have to go home." He answered
"Let's stay over at your place at the moment my patents are kind off busy and they don't want me to distract them"
"sure, do you want to watch a movie or something?" He asked
"Okay!" She exclaimed with excitement and hugged Jesse's arm.
Jesse on the other hand was embarrassed because he realized that they were filming themselves for homework so he mouth over to her ear and whispered "Leslie this is kinda embarrassing, were filming ourselves, can't we do this when were not filming?" he blushed
Then the recording blanked out and continued. This time the scenery was in Jesse's house and they were both on the couch but this time Jesse did the talking.
"Hi, as you would probably know I'm Jesse. Right now were at my place and were watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it's her favorite movie and I also tease her how she looked like the girl who turned into a big Blueberry." he laughed "While watching she fell asleep" he pointed towards her whom now shifted up, hugged his arm and put her head on his shoulder "this is considerably better than being at her place and have her play loud music, dance to it and make me dance with her" then a smile crossed his face "I'm going to wake her up"
Jesse faced her and changed his voice into a shriller Jesse sound and pretended to be Leslie's Mom. "Leslie! it's time to wake up!"
"Not now Mom five more minutes" she grumbled
"Leslie, Jess asked me to tell you that he doesn't want to be friends with you anymore!"
"Mom I'm his girlfriend that's impossible" she said in her sleep
Jesse felt blood rush up to his face as she said that she was his girlfriend then he added "That too Les Honey! now wake up and were going to the bookstore!"
Leslie bolted up with eyes wide open then realized that who she was talking with was actually Jesse and he was pulling a prank on her.
"Jess!" she exclaimed with the top of her voice and started hitting Jess with flailing arms
"Whoa! Les calm down! I needed to wake you up to walk you home" he reasoned "It's getting really dark"
she calmed down after she heard his reasoning then agreed to let him walk her back home. Later when Jess came back on he caught a glimpse of the camera which he has forgotten about and rushed over to grab it. He walked back outside and started to Leslie's house. "I forgot to give this back to her, well you've seen my house but now let's go see her house this time". He knocked on the door and to his surprise it wasn't Bill or Leslie to greet him for it was Judith Burke who opened the door.
"Hi Jess, what brings you here?" she asked
"I just have to return Leslie's camera, we were doing homework with it and in fact right now its still recording"
"Oh really?" she looked at the camera smiled and waved cheerfully
"Is it okay if i can go and see Les?"
"Sure no problem Jess" she let him inside the Burke's residence
Unsurprisingly Jess can hear loud music coming from up the stairs and he knew which room it was coming
"Let me guess" he said sarcastically and looked at Mrs Burke with one eyebrow up
Mrs Burke looked at him with a wide grin and knew what he was going on about "Yes Jess it's coming from her room, you should go up there and meet her and could you please ask her to turn the music down?"
"Sure thing Mrs Burke" he raced upstairs and knocked on Leslie's door a few times but with no result so he knocked harder this time and surely the door flew open to see Leslie in her night dress and her light blue robe.
"Hey Jess!" she shouted over the music "what's up?!"
"Les can you turn down the volume of the music it's too loud!"
"Oh sorry!" she went over to her computer and lowered the volume to a discreet level of noise
"OK that should be good enough" she said confidently then faced Jess "Whats up?"
"I forgot to return you camera" and lay it down on the night stand
The music suddenly changed and was now playing Starships by: Nicki Minaj her eyes widened and stood up waving her arms around and dancing, also singing the lyrics to the song as it played.
I'm on the floor, floor
I love to dance
So give me more, more,
'Til I can't stand
Get on the floor, floor
Like it's your last chance
If you want more, more
Then here I am
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Can't stop 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one more time
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Let's do this one last time
Can't stop...
Jesse was laughing on her bed as she flailed around dancing and singing then eventually Leslie was trying to make him dance then he went close to her ear and whispered "you know your camera is still recording" Leslie's face went crimson red and walked towards the camera and ended the recording. When the video finished the faces of both Jess and Leslie were bright red, Leslie was once again clinging to his arm while he scratched the back of his head.
Okay hope you enjoyed! Please leave a review when you feel like it , that would be appreciated. I do love how I came up with this it's unlike me haha :D If anyone is asking if I'm not sick anymore, I still am but not as much when I wrote the note saying that was sick. I literally felt like throwing up all the time, but now it's not that bad. Thanks to anyone who wished me well. I will be writing more chapters as much as I can because my schedule is packed up because of college.
