The Jumper

Luc's POV:

It was so cold. It was now the middle of October and my best jumper was missing.

I sent Lenny, Huey, and Aaron to look for it during our free periods. I wanted to ask Sammy to help but I haven't seen her since this morning.

I pulled everything out of the boys and my trunks, but it was nowhere to be found. I loved that jumper, it didn't have any sentimental value but it was cozy. I had a dozen jumpers because I had poor circulation, but that was my favorite.

I gave up and went to the cafeteria to eat dinner.

When I got there I sat down with the boys and girls, except Sammy was missing.

"Hey, where's Sammy?"

Ophelia shrugged, "Last time I saw her she was going to the library. Apparently she needed to grab a book for her Literature project."

The other girls nodded. I huffed and continued to eat.

When dinner was over there was still no sign of Sammy. I grabbed all of Sammy's favorite foods and hide them neatly in my school bag.

I got back to the dorm and found Sammy asleep on Lenny's bunk. She had books surrounding her and she was engulfed by my favorite red jumper.

I chuckled then sighed. She must have taken it this morning. I walked over and picked up her books, making sure to put a bookmark just in case she still needed the page it was open to. And by some miracle I picked her up and didn't drop her while putting her on our top bunk.

She stirred and opened her eyes. "You smell good." She muttered while rubbing her eyes tiredly.

"I brought you food from dinner." She bolted up at that.

I grabbed my bag and pulled out her favorite foods. She giggled happily and did a little wiggle.

"I'm so happy!" She bit into a biscuit. "I haven't eaten all day!" She ate everything I got her and plopped back down on the bed. "I'm so full!" She looked over at me, "Your going to get me fat."

I chuckled evilly, "That was my plan all along! Once you are fattened I can... cook you!" My hands darted to her sides.

I started tickling her and she let out a laugh I discovered she only let out when tickled. It sounded free but getting her to laugh like this can with a great price. When you tickled her she kicked, a lot.

"Stop!" She laughed out. "Please, stop!" She was kicking and wiggling underneath me.

I stopped and laid on top of her. I snuggled my head into the crook of her neck and inhaled the smell of lavender.

I pressed my nose up to her pulse and felt it quicken. She held her breath and let it out slowly when I held my nose there.

That's how we fell asleep. With her hands in my hair, her in my jumper making it smell like her, my nose feeling how I make her heart go faster, and me snuggling into her safety.

She could steal my jumpers whenever she wanted. And my plan was working, she was falling for me.
