But unfortunately, my bliss did end, because the weekend was over, and I had to return back to high school. I had begged my mom to let me stay home for just one day, but she or my dad would allow it. They said I still needed to go to high school like a normal kid. And they didn't find it too funny when I told them that normal kids stay home from school too. Needless to say, that argument didn't get me anywhere, so here I am on a Monday morning getting ready for a day of school. I really wasn't feeling it at all, so I pretty much dressed like a bum. Sweatpants, and a t-shirt, you know, that kind of ordeal. And I also skipped breakfast, because whenever I was in a bad mood, I wasn't really all that hungry.
My mom and dad tried to kiss me goodbye, but I told them that I was still mad at them by using my gift. I was definitely giving them the silent treatment for the rest of the day, and possibly even tomorrow. I walked outside with my stuff for school as soon as Jacob pulled into the driveway. I knew that he usually came into get me, put I wanted to get away from my impossible parents. "Hey Nessie." He greeted once I climbed into his car.
"Hey Jake." I replied with a smile. I leaned over to kiss him on the cheek, and he did the same to me. Being around Jacob just lightened my mood automatically. I didn't know if it was the imprinting thing or not, or if it was just because we had known each other for pretty much my whole life. Whatever it was though, I absolutely loved it, because I could never be sad around Jake. He was like a big, happy ray of sunshine, and I could never get tired of him. "I wish it wasn't Monday." I said, sourly. "This going to school thing really sucks, especially now." I complained.
"Why's that?" Jacob asked as he drove me to school.
"Because now I can't spend all my time with you." I smiled at him, and he smiled in return. But it was true, and it really did suck; because now that I knew that Jacob had imprinted on me, and now that I knew that he and I were soulmates, I wanted to spend even more time with him. School prevented me from doing that, and if it was up to me, I would have just quit already, or probably never even started going. But it wasn't up to me, it was my parents decision since technically I wasn't an adult yet, and I wouldn't be until my seventh birthday. Which was a dumb rule in my opinion.
"That does suck." He agreed with me. "I know what will make you feel better though." He bribed.
"Oh yeah?" I asked, looking over at him. "What?"
"Dates every weekend." He said.
"You were right, that did make me feel better." I replied with a small smile. "And that sounds awesome."
"I knew you would like it." Jacob said. By then, we had already arrived at school because my house really isn't that far away from it. I sighed, already annoyed with everyone for the day. Jacob laughed, "Relax Nessie, it's just eight hours." He tried to calm me down. "And I'll be right here waiting when it's over." He added, causing me to smile again.
"I know." I replied, and I leaned to kiss him on the lips. It seemed that since we started kissing, I would never get tired of it. Especially when Jacob was so good at it. When we finally pulled away from each other, I smiled yet again. "I'll be looking forward to seeing you again." I said.
"Likewise." He answered in a joking manner. I laughed, and stepped out of the car and started my awful day at school. Okay, it wasn't awful in the sense that you think, it was just awful because I didn't have anyone there to talk to, and it was so boring, and Jacob wasn't here. That's why I hated it, because I just wanted to spend every single day with Jake. It'd be awesome if he could just enroll in school too, but he was freakishly large, and would stand out if he tried to blend in as a high school student. Thinking about that caused me to laugh.
But finally, after all my boring classes, and lunch, and some more boring classes, the school day was finally freaking over. I practically ran outside to Jacob's car, "Oh, thank gosh." I managed to get out once I was in his car.
"How was your day?" He asked me.
"Terrible. Let's go to the beach." I said as I leaned up against him.
He laughed, "As you wish." I was glad that I could spend the rest of my day with Jacob, and my parents weren't totally in my business. I mean, Alice probably told them what I was doing after school and all that stuff, but still, I'm glad they were giving Jake and I some privacy about our relationship. That was the reason I was afraid of dating, I thought my parents were going to constantly aggravate me about where I am, and what I'm doing, but they didn't, and I was thankful. And I was glad that they were letting me spend all my time with Jake, even if that meant going to school too.
"I can't wait for our second date." I said to Jake.
"Me either." He replied.
"If it's anything like the first then it's going to be awesome." I said. At least now I had something to look forward throughout the rest of the stupid week while I was at school. I would let that second date be my motivation to get through this super slow week of boredom.
