I woke up the next morning, and remembered the events of the day before. "Oh my god, I kissed Jake!" I exclaimed. I jumped up. I squealed excitedly. "So, Kelly's my mortal enemy now. Well, I guess it was destined for us to hat each other, just like in the beginning." I muttered.
I went for a quick shower, then I quickly got dressed, and went downstairs for breakfast. "So, just to make sure, it's today that I'm getting a new number?" I asked. She nodded.
"Yes. Today. I said I was going into town today. Why, do you want to be able to text your boyfriend or something?" she asked. I nodded.
"Well anyway, he'll be here to pick me up in, 7 minutes." I replied, looking at the kitchen clock about my Mum's head. "I have to eat!" I exclaimed, realising I didn't have much time. My Mum laughed, handing me a bowl of cereal. "Thank you!" I said, hugging her. I started to eat.
Jake came just after I brushed my teeth. "Hi." I said as I opened the door.
"Hey. So are you ready?" he asked. I nodded.
"Let's go!" I said excitedly. And we set off for school.
When it was lunchtime, I sat on my own. Jake had wanted to sit with me, but I told him to go sit with his friends, or he would lose them. Well, like yesterday, I was going to be on my own till Kelly and Juliet came over. "So, you whiney brat. You're Jake's girlfriend. Watch your back." Kelly snarled. I smiled as pleasantly as I could muster.
"No, to be honest, I think you should watch yours. And stop sending me texts. Oh, and by the way, my Mum is going to show your Mum all those texts you sent me, so, I'd be very nervous. I also warn you, don't threaten me again. Or else." I whispered angrily. Kelly seemed genuinely scared. She knew that I always kept my promises, despite the fact she always broke hers.
"You'd better watch it." Juliet said in a desperate attempt to scare me. They both got up and walked away. I smiled as they went. I saw Jake about to get up and come over. 'NO!' I mouthed. He nodded, and sat back down. I sighed. For the first time in a while, I was alone for lunch. And this time, I actually kind of enjoyed being along.
I finished the last line of my essay, as the school bell rang. I quickly jumped up, and ran out of the study hall. I quickly got my stuff together, and ran to meet Jake outside of the history classroom. "Hey!" I said as I stopped behind him. He spun round.
"Hey! So where do you want to go?" he asked.
"I want to go back to your house. It's so much fun there!" I replied happily.
"Fine. But I don't want to stay at my place all day. I want to go to your house today!" he exclaimed. I nodded.
"Ok. But be warned, my parents are nothing like yours." I muttered.
10 minutes later, Jake, Ben and I were back at their house. We were all sat in the front room watching TV. They're Granddad was over. "So, why exactly are we watching this?" I asked.
"Yeah Granddad, and what is this?" Ben asked.
"It's an old war film." He replied.
"But we watched this the last time you came over!" Karen moaned.
"She does have a point." Jake said.
"Ummm, I'm going to go into another room before I end up getting into this argument." I muttered, getting up. I walked into the kitchen. "Hello!" I said happily. Jake's mum turned around.
"Hello, who are you?" she asked.
"I'm Ray. I just came out of the living room. They started to argue about the TV." I said before she could ask me.
"Oh. That's sounds about it. So, who brought you here?" she asked me.
"Jake." I replied. "He's my best friend." Jake had told me not to tell his mum about... us. Because she would end up freaking. He was planning on doing it once I'd known his parents for a while.
"Oh. You're Ray. Didn't you stand on Pete's foot a few weeks ago?" she asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, that's me. Soooo." I said. I always felt really awkward in situations like that, when there was a silence. I could never think of anything else to say. Then Jake came out of the living room.
"So, we were going to go?" Jake said.
"Yeah. Let's go." I replied. He took my hand, and we went to the front door, and on the way to my house.
We were just outside the door. "Are you sure you want to go in? I mean, if you thought your parents were bad..." I trailed.
"Yes. Let's just go." He said. I sighed, and opened up the front door.
My mum dragged us both into the house. "Ray, you go upstairs. I need to do the usual routine." She said.
"Oh Mum, not again! Please don't do it this time!" I pleaded.
"No! We have to. Now Ray, will you just go upstairs!" she said.
"Oh! Good luck Jake." I whispered. I then ran upstairs. Why did Mum have to do this EVERY TIME I got a boyfriend! She always ruined it. I sighed, and sat down on my bed. All I could do was wait, and hope that he would still like me by the end of my mum's interrogation.
An hour and a half later, I heard footsteps. My bedroom door opened. Jake was stood in the doorway. "You were right. My parents are way worse." He said after a while. I jumped up and ran over to hug him.
"Do you still want to go out with me?" I asked nervously. He nodded.
"Your mum is not going to put me off of you." He replied. I smiled.
"So do we go back to yours now?" I asked.
"Yeah. I think we should." He replied.
That night, when I got home, I was really annoyed with my mum. "MUM! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO DO THAT? Whenever I have a boy over, you always spend half an hour interrogating him! And just because Jake's my boyfriend, you spent an hour and a half? HONESTLY!" I yelled, storming up to my room.
I slammed the door, and saw that a SIM Card was sitting on my desk. I opened up the packet, and picked up my phone, which was sat on next to it, turned off. I turned it on. 100+ threatening messages. She hadn't taken my warning. I decided to use up the last of my credit.
'Listen, leave me alone. Remember what I said earlier today? I am going to keep to my promise.'
I sent the text to both Kelly and Juliet, then turned off my phone, and opened it up, taking out the SIM Card, before putting in the new one. So. A new SIM, and no more threats.
Thank you so much for all the reviews! I love you guys! x (By the way, I think FF is malfunctioning, because I got some email alerts that you reviewed, but I couldn't read them on the website.)
