The Bad Boy ~ Jaden Hossler

Girlfriend

I look and see Jake. He comes up to me and hugs me after I fix my shirt.

"Or else what? She's just a little slut!"

"If she was a slut she wouldn't have tried to get out of your grip. Rape isn't cool man fuck off, understood? Or else I'll have to beat your ass." He gets closer and growls.

"Whatever man I can have who I want." And with that Jake punches him as Tucker falls to the floor. "You fucking dick!" Tucker throws a punch until he gets pinned to the floor and gets punch after punch. Blood gets all over Jake's knuckles from Tucker's face. I pull Jake off of him and Tucker smirks. Jake gives him the stink eye and walks to the bathroom. I go to the boys bathroom because I wanted to clean him up.

"You didn't have to do that, Jake..." I blush.

"Yes I did. I had to." He says as I clean his knuckles. He smiles and lets me clean him up.

"Thank you..." I look down, afraid to look up. The lift my head up with the clean hand and I start to blush. Then he leans in and I do the same. Then our lips go against each other. We pull away and I blush. Then I frown. "Listen I've liked you for a while and I don't want me to take this the wrong way me actually thinking you like me. I'm sorry..." I say and look down. He lifts my chin up.

"Lani that's what you're not getting. I do like you. A lot. But you like Shawn." He says.

"What?" I laugh. "No I don't. He's just my best friend. I've liked you for years, Jake. Trust me." I still laugh at the fact he thought I liked Shawn.

"Oh. Well in that case, wanna be my girlfriend?"

I laugh and kiss him. "Yes I'd love to." I giggle.

"Good." He smiles.

"Good." I smile back. School ended and I went home. "Hey mom I'm home." I say putting my book bag down.

"I'm home too." Jackson says, doing the same as me.

"Hey kids how was your day?" Mom asks.

"Good." Jackson responds.

"Good." I respond, not wanting to tell anyone about Jake since he's Jackson's best friend.

"Well that's good. I cut you guys some apple slices and peanut butter if you would like." Mom says and places the apples and peanut butter on a plate on the table.

"Thanks mom." We both say at the same time.

"Oh and Lani, Brooke and Shawn are coming over." My mom warns me.

"Ok! That's great!" I respond, taking a bite out of my apple slice.

"Ok. Jackson, Jake said he's coming over tomorrow, too." She tells him.

"Oh I have baseball practice tomorrow after school." He says.

"Oh well he can stay here for about 2 hours until you get home (just pretend that's how long) and then you guys can hang out. For the time, maybe Lani and Jake could talk to each other for once." Mom laughs.

"She talks to him all the time!" Jackson laughs defensively.

"Well they don't talk a lot." My mom laughs back.

"Ayoooo!" Dad comes down and jumps before 5 steps.

"Dad!" Jackson and I both say at the same time and I hug Dad.

"Hey kids!" He hugs us back. I love dad he's the best.

"Oh Lani, Brooke and Shawn are on their way here." Dad says.

"Yeah mom already told me." I laugh and he nods. Then we hear the doorbell ring.

"That must be them." Mom says and opens the door and reveals them. "Hey kids! Come in!" Brooke and Shawn come in.

"Hey!" I squeal and they say hey and we do our three musketeers group hand shake. Then we go up to my room.

"It's been literally forever since we came to your house what did we miss?" Brooke says.

"Well I kinda sorta got a boyfriend today!" I squeal.

"Ooooooh who who who?!" Shawn says excitingly.

"That's the thing... it's Jake..."

"What the fuck!" Brooke says. "You know that's Jack's best friend, right? That's so fucked!" She whispers and laughs.

"I know I know so him and I are keeping it a secret please don't tell anyone." I give them puppy eyes.

"Man I just can't say no to puppy eyes." Shawn laughs. We all laugh and start talking about random stuff.
