Chapter 4:
Jack smiles at his drawing in Art class, before he glanced across the desk at Caroline. She looked so at home just sitting there drawing on the papers the teachers gave them. Her dark bangs flopped into her eyes and it seemed to annoy her a lot because soon she took a clip and pined it back. Caroline looks up at him and again she blushes a bright pink. Jack just smiles at her and goes back to his work. Its been about two months since Jack has lived with Caroline and Merida, and he really enjoyed it. He could never tell what was going to come next in his life. One day they are playing bowling, he gets the hang of it. Then she brings rock climbing into his life. There is something new everyday that he never tried. Jack took her out on a few dates as well. He took her to see a horror movie and even when it was time for bed, she had difficulty letting go of his arms and closing her scared eyes. The other date was that Jack took her bowling again, he had to admit, she wasn't that good. When she messed up she would come back running in embarrassment and Jack couldn't stop laughing at her till she got a strike.
Then she was the one laughing at him. Soon they were acting like a real couple. Not a fake one to Merida's surprise. Every time Jack would start accidently (to get Caroline's attention) flirt with Sarah. Caroline would storm over and yank on Jack's arm pulling him away and would hug him tightly. Though sometimes she would just glare at him for the rest of the day. Yet, Jack has yet to meet her friend Sam, who Jackie loved talking about for some reason. But Caroline was the complete oppisite of Jackie. When Jacks asked about Sam she either stay silent or will change the subject quickly.
She seemed almost uncomfortable talking about one of her friends. One day Jack asked if they had dated and he made the mistake of asking while she was drinking some water. She chocked and went into a coughing fit that lasted for five minutes. "No way...Sam is just my friend!" She gasped as leans against the nearest wall trying to catch her breath. Her face was flushes a bright red at the time and Jack wondered if it was from not being abled to breath or embarrassment. Caroline looks up and smiles as she meets Jack's eyes. Then the bell rings and Jack jumps from his chair and almost bolts to Caroline side hugging tightly. She laughed as he lifted her off the ground in the hug. "Was it that bad seeing me not paying attention to you?" Jack smirks and kisses her on her forehead. Jack grabs her back pack and gives it to her and he puts his over his shoulder.
Just as they stepped out the door to go to lunch Jackie came running towards them. "Caroline! Caroline Sam's back!" Even though Caroline braced for her friend to slam into her, she still lost her footing and almost fell back if it wasn't for Jack's arm."What? You have to be kidding me..."
"'Friad not Darling. What no banner saying welcome back? No hugs? No greetings?" A male voice rang through the hall and Jacks turns his head to watch as Caroline let go and run towards a boy. The boy had black hair and green eyes that sparkled, he wore a long sleeved t-shirt and black jeans with holes in them. "Sam!" Caroline squealed as the boy picked her up and swung her in a circle. "Ah,so now i get a greeting." Sam said laughing as he puts her down and holds onto her shoulders. "Did you change your style again? Choose already you little loser!" The boy said hugging Caroline one more time before turning to Jack.
"Oh, who is this guy?" Same said taking in Jack. Automatically Caroline went back over to Jack and he wraps and arm around her shoulders pulling her close."Sam,this is Jack...my boyfriend. Jack this is Sam." Jack studies Sam's face as Caroline greeted them. He looked a little shock, maybe a hit of annoyance. "Nice to meet you man." Sam holds a hand out to shake Jack's but Jack just glared at it. "Sorry, my hands are sort of full right now." Jack said trying to sound bored. "Can we go eat lunch now?" Jackie suddenly bumped into the conversation like she always does.
"Good plan, see you later Sam." Caroline said before Jack turns and pulls her with him to the lunch room. "I'll catch up with you guy's soon." Sam calls as Jack tighten his hold on Caroline's shoulders. "Jack was it the matter?" Caroline looked concerned as she brushes her hand against his face. "It's nothing Snow flake."Jack smiled down at Caroline kiss her cheek and glaring over his shoulder at Sam. Sam was glaring right back his hands fists at his sides. It was quiet obvious that Sam was jealous of Jack and Caroline, but he got the message that Jack was giving him. Caroline blushes and hides her face in his chest. Jack smiles and keeps his arm around her as they walk into the lunch room. As they stood waiting for the line to move Caroline was looking out the window.
"What are you thinking about?" Jack asks as she leans back against him and Sarah glares at her from four people ahead. "Do you miss being abled to bring snow to world? Do you wish that what I did never happened?" Jack sighs, this was the fourth time she brought this up, always blaming her for things people had told her to do or had done. She was always trying to protect someone. "yes I miss bringing the snow, but I do not wish that it never happened. Would I be abled to be with you right now? Would I be abled to hold you?" Caroline shakes her head and Jack smiles "Then I do not regret it and I am glad you changed me." Caroline smiled and before Jack knew what was happening, Caroline was kissing him softly.
