Jacob walks me home. I feel so happy, like... like one of those flying saucers, hard and normal on the outside, and all fizzy on the inside. A day ago, I thought Jacob Allard was a moron. A popular, pretty-boy, moron. And now I have a crush on him. Weird!.
We stop outside my house. He nods and smiles and says goodbye, so I wave. He goes. I dawdle back inside, sighing happily. He likes Nirvana!!! No, he loves them! So do I! We both like 'In Utero'! I giggle. A friendship bonded over Nirvana. If Kurt Cobain was Still alive, I'd be writing to thank him.
Suddenly, my phone rings. It's Jacob! I fumble around with it and almost drop it. "Um, hello?", I answer. "Hey, Ivy! ", he says cheerfully. "I was just wondering -". 'He's gonna ask me out, he's GONNA ASK ME OUT!! ', I think. "Have I left my jacket in your rucksack? ", he asks. I feel my face burning ad I check. "Oh. Um. Yeah.", I mumble. "I'll, um, bring it in tomorrow. ". He chuckles. "Ok. Bye! ". I say goodbye. "Damn it! ", I groan. "I thought he was actually going to ask me out! Geez, ivy! ". But then I hear Jacob say something. I freeze and look down. My phone is still on. I stand, motionless as I put it yo my ear. Luckily, he's laughing. "Ivy! ", he laughs. "Ask you out? Geez, I was gonna go with something like McDonalds or Nandos, ' Out' seems pretty posh! ". I don't understand. "What? ", I whisper. He sighs. "Fine, I'll do it officially. Would you like to go to Nandos with me? ". My jaw drops. Whhhaaaattt??? "I... I'd like that. ", I reply. "Ok.", he says. "Oh, YEEESSSS!!", I laugh. "Ivy, your phones still on. ", comes Jacobs voice. I smirk and turn it off.
