Not What You Think

Chap 3

Jayk's POV

I took pictures of her and all the guys. She just got done dancing with Blake. "Here," I said handing Bailey Ella's phone. "Take a picture of Ella and I." Bailey did and I started dancing with Ella. "How'd you do?"

"What are you thinking about?" Ella asked.

"I know you're at the age to know about ---" I looked at Ella. "You're old enough to have a boyfriend and do all that."

"Jayk, your parents beat you to it," Ella smiled. "I know what you're talking about."

"Okay," I sighed. "It was going to be a little weird for me talking to you about it."

"Well, they saved you the time," she sighed.

"Hey, what's going on?" I asked.

"Blake," Ella let out. "I don't know." She looked at me. "I just don't wanna ruin my friendship with him. He and I are the best of friends but now I know he has feelings for me."

"You have feelings for him too," I looked at her. "I don't understand what the problem between the two of you are but it's gotta stop."

"We would't have this problem if you didn't pull me out of school," Ella exhaled. "This is a lot more stressful than being in public school."

"You wanna go back to public school?" I asked.

"Beats being somewhere with someone who doesn't want to believe you when you know they like you," Ella sighed. "Please? Just let me finish high school. I'm already a senior being homeschooled so why not?"

"You wanna go back to Vegas?" I asked.

"That's what I'm saying," Ella sighed as the song ended. "Can I please?"

"Yeah," I replied. "I'll help you pack tomorrow and I'll drive you to Vegas."

"School starts Monday," Ella responded.

"Okay but public school...Ella...I want you to guard something with your life," I stated as we got off the dance floor. She looked at me. "They're going to be attacking from every angle. Just guard it with your life."

"Oh boy," Ella sighed. She looked at me. "Jayk, I'm a virgin."

I stood there with a blank expression on my face. "Okay," I responded.

"Okay," Ella said walking off.

"Hey, everything okay?" Bailey asked walking up to me.

"Yeah, I gotta take my sister to Vegas tomorrow," I sighed. "She wants to go back to public school. I know how high school boys are like and I told her to guard it with her life."

"Then she told you she's a virgin, huh?" Bailey asked. I nodded. "Yeah, my dad give me somewhat a similar speech when I was twelve." I looked at her. "My friend was only 14 and she quit school because she got pregnant."

"I'm just afraid, you know," I stated. "I took her out of school when I turned eighteen and that was four years ago. I homeschooled her." I looked at Bailey. "Now she's a senior in high school and she wants to go to public school to finish."

"Then let her," Bailey smiled. "Just trust her, Jayk. You've spent four years protecting her with your life and she just moved in a few months ago." I sighed. "Just trust her Jayk. She's not going to let you down. Plus if anything happens, she has your father. He's a cop, right?"

"I love how you have a good memory," I smiled. "That's why I love you." I hugged Bailey. "I'm glad you're in my life."

Blake's POV

The day after the party, I showered and got dressed. I walked down the stairs just in time to see Jayk holding a suitcase. "Where are you going?" I asked.

"I'm going to drive Ella to Vegas," Jayk sighed.

"Vegas?" I asked. "Why?"

"She's going to start public school tomorrow," Jayk replied. "She's going to be a Coronado Cougar for a full year."

"Ella wants to start public schooling?" I asked sitting on the couch. "When did she tell you this?"

"Yesterday when she was slow dancing with me," Jayk replied.

"Okay," Ella said walking down the stairs carrying a box. "I got all that I need."

"You're packing light for someone who's moving to Vegas," I replied.

"I'm only going to be gone for a whole school year," Ella replied. "I'll be moving back in when school's over."

"And if we're not here?" Jayk asked.

"I know where the spare key is and money for groceries," Ella replied. "Plus, Mom and Dad are getting me a car."

"You have everything planned, don't you?" I asked.

"Only because I wanna go to public school," Ella replied. She walked up to Jayk. "I'm ready." She gave Jayk a kiss on the cheek. "I'll be in the car."

"Alright," Jayk sighed. I got jealous when Ella kissed Jayk on the cheek. I still wasn't convinced that Ella and Jayk are just brother and sister. "I'll see you guys in Vegas when you guys get there."

"Tomorrow morning," I replied. Jayk left. "How am I supposed to do research when I don't have access to the government information?"
