Step Brother (Jacob latimore story)

chapter 17

It was now the final day of school, because it's summer and also the day when Jacob will be moving in with us. I am not upset. but I do feel weird living with him but it's not like it's going to be forever. The wedding has been postpone because of Shaneka' s accident.

"Zamoia! your friend is here", shouted dad and I sprint downstairs to greet Monica. 

"You took so long!"exclaimed Monica

"Well I have to look good for the last day", I said playfully.

"Well alright", said Monica pushing me out the door. "See you later Mr. Bell".

"So did you tell him?"asked Monica.

"Who?" I asked with a puzzled expression on my Face.

"Your brother", answered Monica.

"What about him?"I asked again.

"I like him", said Monica.

"Cool", I replied as we walk to the bus stop. It is not normal for me to take the bus but for some reason I can't explain, I decided to.

"Cool, that is all you going to say", said Monica angrily and I laughed at her. 

"So what should I say", I asked stamping my feet like a little kid.

 "Tell him I like him", answered Monica, sticking her tongue out at me and I showed her the finger. She gasp and continued to talk "rude".

 "Whatever I can do it at anytime or you can. I can give you his number", I said hitting her arm. 

"Ow!", Monica cried out in pain. "That really hurts".

The bus arrived ten minutes later and Monica and I sat at the back.

 "I want the window seat",demanded Monica.

 I smiled at how childish she was behaving at laugh at how she rolled her eyes.

"Back to what I was saying",said Monica and I plugged in my head phone. It is not like I am trying to be rude. I just can't bother to hear her chat about Jacob.

 "Are you even listening", said Monica,dragging the head phone out of my ears.

"Am I boring?'asked Monica.

"Yea that's why I was listening to music", I answered with delight.

 "Do you like Jacob?"asked Monica looking directly in my eyes.

I hesitated to answer at first, then I felt my heart pounding. I didn't know what to say. I finally speak,

 "No", I said having a feeling that's not the truth. 

"Ok, because he is mine plus you're like his sister",stated Monica.

 "Well he kissed me so", I mumbled to myself.

 "What was that?" asked Monica . 

"I was just saying...that... um... Jacob' s mom is in hospital", I said.

 "You told me already",replied Monica.

 "Oh", I said taking my head phone from her. She gave me an evil smirk which was very scary.

Do I like Jacob?was the question on my mind. I never ever felt any type away when we just met but now every time Monica mentioned Jacob I want to knock her our cold. Why am I feeling like this? 

"Zamoia", said Monica. 

"Yea what?"I asked looking through the window.

 "I guess we are at school". I stepped out the bus like a boss followed by Monica complaining about how slow I am walking.

"So remember when you see Jacob today, tell him ok", she said and we went our separate way. Since it was the final day I didn't do much work which I am thankful. I got an assignment to do though on one of the continents Times like these I miss being a baby.

At luch, Gabrielle, Danielle, Monica and I met up and talked about what were going to do for summer break and Monica once again reminded me about Jacob. As she was about to mention him for the 2000 time, the bell rang.

 "Saved by the bell", I said, "You know I have physics got to be early". Gabrielle and Danielle laughed, Monica started frowning, then it went to a smile then she laugh. I left them at the table and went to class before that I got my Binder from my locker.

"So I won't be seeing you again",said Mr. Harper playing with his beard. The class scream in excitement. Juke Brian standed up and said

"We are gonna miss you... not". The class bursted out into uncontrollable laughter.

"Ha ha ha", said Mr. Harper, trying to be sarcastic. "Miss Bell", he said and I jumped in fright.

 "Yes sir", I answered.

 "Could you please stop getting good grades in my subject", he said and the whole class stared at me. Thank you Mr. Harper thank you very much. 

"I don't know", I replied.

 "Well everyone should take a page out of your book",he said and I smiled weakly.

I took out a novel and began reading. Time past really fast. By the time I reached the 3rd to last chapter the bell rang and school was finally over. While walking along the hallway I wonder if there will be students singing songs about school is out and summer just like high school musical. It didn't happened at all.

"What took you so long?"asked dad.

"I just walk slow", I answered

"Just get in, I an going back to work so you have to let Jacob in and help him unpack when he comes", he said

"Ok",I replied.
