Chapter 4: Questions

Jenna POV

Oh my god I can't breathe. I can't, I can't do I, someone get me oxygen tank, I need it, oh lord, where is my inhaler at a time like this?! Why did I agree to be his partner? Because you had no one else. My mind said. Ugh curse my shyness!

"Okay well will start researching tomorrow but today I want you all to pick a topic, here's the paper with the topics you can pick from." Mr. Ian said as he passed out the paper.

"Hey Jenna. So what do you want to research." Jake asked as he sat down next to me. Oh god should my heart be pounding this hard in my chest?!

"U-uh I don't know." I said with a shrug.

"Here. forget the project for a second." he said putting the paper down and turning so he was facing me.

"Look at he." He instructed. I slowly tilted my head up so I was looking at him through my eye lashes. He took his index finger and tilted my head up so we held eye contact.

"I want you to be comfortable around me okay? So let's play 20 questions, get to know each other better aye?" he asked with a boyish grin, I couldn't help but smile and nod.

"Good! Here I'll start. What's you favorite sport?"

"Uh like what sport do I play? Or what sport do I like to watch?" what can I say I over think things. I can turn a simple question into the most complicated thing in the world. He threw his back and did his little boy laugh again.

"Uh well do you play a sport?" he asked.

"I use to play soccer." I mumbled.

"Oh? And what happened?"

"Nope. My turn." I said with a smirk. He just gave me a disbelieving smile and nodded leaning back in his chair.

"Okay ummm... what- what- what is your favorite color?" I finally decided on. He chuckled and shook his head.

"Red." He said with a shrug.

"School's color?" I asked with my eyebrows raised.

"eh I guess I thought I wasn't good enough to play, and I thought people would laugh at me." I mumbled looking at my hands.

"I'm sure you're a good player, you shouldn't let people get to you." He said reassuringly.

"I know it's just hard." he nodded looking thoughtful for a minute.

"Okay your turn." and the game went on front here, what started off as 20 questions turned into 30 questions, which turned into 50 questions which just turned into us talking about stupid things, sometimes we would talk about one question for a while then continue or we would just talk about anything really, I was finally opening up to him and my walls were slowly coming down, but I didn't even mind, Jake actually seems nice =, I can't help but want to be his friend.

"Okay, okay last question, last question." He said laughing. I nodded my head with a smile.

"are we friends?" he asked with a kind smile, I chuckled behind my hand to cover my giant smile.

"Yeah." I said nodding my head.

"YES!" he shouted as he jumped and started fist pumping in the air, I laughed along while him and sat down behind me giving me a quick side hug.

"You won't regret this." he said with a full blown smile that shown off his little dimple in his right cheek. He looked so darn cute.

Jake POV

Yes! She wants to be my friend! I have never been so happy before in my life, well except when I made it as team captain on the football team, but this is way different! This is better! I have JENNA!
