Chapter 38- Effort
Paige's POV
I sit up wondering who would be knocking this early in the morning. Especially since almost everyone is gone, even the girls. The trip must've been open to the whole school. I throwing on a shirt, and decide my spandex will work for pants until I know who it is. I run my hand through my hair, and hope it looks okay. Swinging open the door, I see Jake all dressed and ready for the day. I turn looking at my clock, it's ten time for me to be getting up anyways. But Jake? What's he doing?
"Hi." I say opening the door again.
"Hey." He smiles at me.
"Didn't I say a couple days..?" I ask, still not sure what's going on.
"Yeah... I thought about it to make sure I was sure. I know I'm sure." He replies leaning against the door frame. He couldn't have thought about ti to much, it's only been a couple hours. I give him a look and he nods, walking past me. "Seriously... it took me like two minutes. I know I'm sure... so spend the day with. We can talk... get to know each other.."
"Jake." I say.
"Come on Paige. Give me a real chance." He begs, and I let out a huff of air.
"What ever." I sigh, and I can see his face brighten. "Give me thirty minutes." I push him out of my room. I lean against the door breathless once he is gone. Oh my god, I'm going on a date like thing with Jake! I scurry off to my bathroom turning on the shower, and as the water heats up I pick out an outift. Ten I go through the shower with my hair up, it doesn't need washed, but I want to run ovre my legs again just in case. Once I'm done I change into the short and shirt I choose, and I then go brush my teeth and fix up my hair. Then I open the door, and run downstairs where Jake is waiting.
"You look amazing... like uasual." He greets me.
"What exactly are we gonna do?" I ask, grabbing a banana off the counter. I set it back down thinking it's probably not the best food to have for breakfast with Jake around. I go to the fridge for an apple.
"That is a surprise." He smirks at me, and I role my eyes. "You might want to grab your phone, a jacket, and like a blanket." He hints, and I don't know where he would be taking me that needs a blanket.
"I'll be back." I run back up to my room, I grab a blanket, but not a jacket... I'll have the blanket... and my phone. Pulling it from the charger I go through all the messages I have. Which Jake wasn't lying he sent me a couple messages. I feel bad, but my phone seriously died... I never really use my phone much anyways. To talk with family back at home... and my grandparents. We all have iphones for facetime. "Okay! I'm ready." I hold my blanket and phone.
"Are you sure? Do you want anything else, it's a long drive." He informs me, and now I'm even more lost to where we're going. Long drive...what else could I bring? I get an idea, and I run back up to my room. Grabbing my history note cards, and my purse now I think I'm ready for sure this time. "Note cards?" He asks, and now it's my turn to smirk. He leads me out to his car, and I slide into the passenger seat as he gets in the drivers side.
"So you gonna tell me where we're going?" I ask, it's a long shot but worth trying. He just shakes his head, and I sigh, watching as we leave campous. He checks out and the guard looks in the car at me and then to Jake and then back at me with confusion. I just look away back at the street. I'm guessing Jake doesn't take girls off campous often, and when he does it's not this early in the day. So.. how many times has he taken one of his 'dates' off campous? I really actually wonder how many other 'dates' there was. I shake away the thoughts, if Jake and I ever had the ex's cpversation it woud just be a minute long. I've never been in a relationship before, and I'm guessing Jake hasn't either... all the other girls were just one night flings... I think.
