Young Love

Chapter Two

Jacob's POV: 

"Bro, you need to seriously shut your mouth before I shut it, permanently.", I threatened him.

"Whatever, man."

I pulled my fist back, & I felt a gentle hand grab my fist & pull it down.

"Jacob, stop it! You're better than this. Please, stop.", Julianna said with her beautiful light brown eyes.

"Ugh. Okay.", I said as I walked away.

"That's the Jacob I know.", she said with a smile.

"Why do you have to be so nice?", I asked.

"Because it is the right thing to do! Violence doesn't solve anything.", she said calmly.

"Well in my world it does!", I whined.

The bell had rung. We had 5 minutes to go to our lockers & 4 minutes to get to class. My locker was too far away, so I share with Julianna. We walked into our 1st period, which is AP Spanish. I'm not that good in Spanish but Julianna is amazing. She's super smart, talented, beautiful & the sweetest person you'll ever meet. She actually understands what they are saying. If I wasn't for her, I wouldn't be passing this class.

"Alright, class! Take out your homework & pass it to the front of the class. Those who don't have it, will have detention or a referral!", said Mr.Rodriguez.

Shit! I didn't do it, I got home late from football practice. I had fear on my face & I was super nervous.

I looked at Julianna & she whispered in my ear, "Don't worry, I did your homework for you. I knew you got home late."

I had the biggest weight lifted off my shoulders. "Oh my gosh, thank you so much. I love you, Julie!", I whispered back. 

30 minutes later our teacher gave us tons of packets & let us work with partners. As always, my partner was Julianna. We've never worked with anyone but each other, even in health when we were given fake babies & we were fake married. I would love it if that was real, but I know she doesn't feel the same. So I just keep my secret in my heart & I hope it will come true someday.

"Soo, today is Friday. What are you doing after the football game?", I asked.

"Nothing really. Why, what did you have in mind?", she asked impatiently.

"Well I was thinking we should have a movie night every Friday night & we can only make plans on the weekend. NEVER on Friday Night, from now on Friday nights are 'Best friend night!' ", I said.

"Okay. I like that idea! So you pick 3 movies you like & I'll do the same."

"Okay. Deal! & Tonight please be careful, I don't want the star quarterback & my best friend to get hurt", she said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll be careful.", I said laughing.

"I'm serious. Pinky promise ?", she said.

I stuck my pinky finger out & she wrapped her small finger around mine. I promised her that I'll be careful & I'm not going to break it.
