Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, but this chapter was short of hard to write. Because since the rebel hasn't really been introduced and I don't really know how he acts, I had to paraphrase sort of. But for all the RUCAS lovers, sorry this chapter might not be for you to read! BUT! You might want to read for the ending, you might be surprised. Please keep up the reviews!
"So off to the arcade?" I turned to Jake as we were riding the elevator.
"Yeah, the arcade." He turned and smiled at me, he grabbed my hand to hold.
"Um," I snatched my hand away from his, "sorry, but it's new to me and I wouldn't like to be so forward. Not that you're being forward." He chuckled.
"It's alright I get it." We walked out of the elevator and walked out onto the street. There was an arcade around the block, so we headed that way. I hope he doesn't try to grab my hand or anything else.
"So," Jake said as we almost made it to the arcade, "are you and Lucas, like a thing or something?" He turned to my face with his hands swinging side by side. I probably started blushing a little, calm down. It feels like it went away, okay talk Riley.
"Me and Lucas? Ha, no. We're just really close friends." That is such a lie, we kind of were a thing. But I can't just tell Jake that right off the start of our date! Maybe Lucas will get over me if Jake and I date more.
"Oh, cause he acted like you guys have dated, or you guys are a thing. But I know you guys didn't date, because this is your first date right?" He turned and smiled to me, and got closer. A little too close, but I let him because I don't want him to hate me. I smiled.
"Yes, you're my very first date." It was true, I wish it wasn't . I wish Lucas was, but you know. A girl has to know when to turn a page in her book. He's just a friend. I have been telling myself that, so I can focus on Jake. It's worked pretty well.
"We should just go to the arcade now." I smiled back, I was trying to get him to move because he was too close now.
"Yeah, sure." We both turned and walked into the arcade. It was a nickel arcade, Jake pulled out 10 dollars to the cashier.
"Can I have this in nickels?" He asked the pretty blonde cashier, I saw them give each other a sort of glance. I hope she won't hit on him. She slowly took the ten dollar bill out of his hand and purposely touched his hand. That grabbed my attention. She put the ten dollars in the cash register. Then turned around to a coin dispenser and got ten dollars in nickels. She turned back to us and put her hand out to his.
"Here's the ten dollars in nickels." She said flirtatiously. Why did she have to be so pretty?
"Thanks very much." Jake said smiling slowly grabbing the nickels out of her hand. We turned around and walked into the arcade. I decided not to say anything, because if I did it might lead to a sad Riley. We played some games against each other. I was having a good time. But he didn't really do anything special. He didn't look at me the way he looked at that girl. We both walked over to the bowling area. Yes, the nickel arcade had a bowling area.
"have you bowled?" asked Jake.
"Um, yeah. But I'm not very good at bowling. Ha, I can barely make it actually stay inside without going to the gutters." We both laughed, he grabbed a green ball with a 6 on it. And I grabbed a pink ball with a 4 on it.
"Well, I will help you then." He grinned at me, he motioned for me to go first so he set down his ball and I walked over to the bowling area. He came up right behind me.
"So you put your hand like this," he put his right hand over my right arm and touched my right hand which was placed in the ball. "And you do nothing with this hand." He grabbed my left hand and just held it there. "Then you just," he reach back with his right hand and released. The ball went flying down the way. We waited for it to hit the pins.
"Strike!" I yelled and jumped around to hug him, "Thanks Jake!" He smiled
"You're welcome." It was hard to believe that time flew by and it was now time to leave. We didn't make it to ice cream because we were too busy bowling. Jake walked me up to my door.
"Thanks Jake for tonight, it was really fun." I smiled to him, he smiled back.
'You're welcome Riley." He stood there awkward for a minute, then he leaned in. HE WAS TRYING TO KISS ME!
"Um," I said while stepping back to reach my door knob. "Um, I think I heard my dad. So I will see you on tomorrow." He stepped closer, the door wouldn't open!
"Your dad didn't call you." He grabbed behind my stomach and held my back, which right now was leaning back to get away from him.
"No really, I think I should go inside-" right then the door opened and Lucas stood there, along with Farkle and Maya. But Lucas closer to me. THANK GOD. Jake pulled me closer to him, but I managed to break free.
"What where you doing?" Lucas said almost like he was going to blow.
