Jake and Me.

Chapter 4: What Can I Do To Earn Your Trust?

JAKE DAWSON:

"GO BLUE GO!", my coach called out as I ran the play.

I ran my ass of dodging multiple people before finally running down and into the end zone with ease.

"Damn!", Landon laughs.

"We got this play on lockdown!", Lucas says giving me a high five.

"For sure. Those Mustang Wildcats don't know what's coming for them!", I say grabbing my water.

After practice I go into the locker room and grab my stuff. I look at my phone to see tons of messages, none from the new girl.

Hm. She's interesting, but I'm not so sure she's all that.

I drive home, to see my mother sitting at the table with a woman who looks about her age.

"Hey mom, who's this?", I ask sitting sitting bags down by the door.

"I want you to meet Ms. Anderson."

Anderson? That sounds familiar. Just then I hear a familiar voice come from in the kitchen behind where I cannot see.

A girl steps out and my eyes grow wide. Gabriella.

"Oh. This must your son. Jake.", Gabrielle says sarcastically.

"Oh! I see you two have met!!", my mother says.

"Yeah. Nice talking but I got work to do."

"Why don't you take Gabrielle upstairs with you so me and her mom can catch up?"

"Wait mom no. I uh have homework myself to do!", gabrielle begs.

"Run along dear. You two can help eachother with your homework.", Ms. Anderson says.

Gabrielle sighs, and looks at me. I just simply walk upstairs, and down the hallway to my room.

I walk into my room and completely ignore her hopping on my game system.

"Are you not gonna do your work?", she asks sitting on my bed.

"No. And get your filthy butt off my bed."

She looks insulted. "Im not filthy!!!"

"Whatever. Stay off my bed.", I say turning back around to look at my game.

After a few mintues of complete silence.

I decided it was too quiet and turned around to see her touching one of my trophies.

"Hey hands off!!", I run over to her and grab her wrist. She turns and looks at me.

"Keep your hands off my stuff.", I sneer.

"How about you keep your hands off me!!", she says pushing me away.

I stumbled backwards before falling and hitting head on the wheel of my chair on my desk.

"Ah. Fuck.",I say reaching back and feeling.

"Maybe that'll teach you to-", she says then stopping.

I pull my hand back out from behind my head to see blood.

Gabrielle gasps her hand flying over her mouth. "I-I....i-im s-"

She doesn't finish instead she just runs out of the room.

What the hell was that about? I decide to go look for her. I looked in every room on the second floor. I decided to go upstairs and to the glassed in balcony.
