A Different Kind of Education

Chapter Twelve : Awkward

Dedicated to Snickers_2014 for making me smile & laugh at her comment last chapter ♡

When I woke up I was snuggled into Jay's side as the two of us were entangled in the sheets of his bed. I looked at the clock and realized that it was 7:45 on a school day and that if we did not get up now, we would surely miss our first two lessons.

"Shit." I cursed under my breath as I threw off the covers, along with Jay's arm, causing him to wake up.

"What are you doing?" He asked sleepily.

"Getting ready, we have 20 minutes to get to school before we're late." I replied, my voice scratchy with sleep.

"Crap."

He quickly got out of bed, yanking out the first pair of jeans he saw. I mentally said a sling of colorful words when I realized that I didn't have any clothes with me since yesterday when Tommy and I had made a run out of our house with Jay, I hadn't even thought about the fact that we had school today.

"Hey, Jay..." I said softly as I watched him pull on a shirt, "Do you have anything I could wear?"

"Err..." He stared awkwardly at my frame, a strange expression blooming on his face, "Matt might."

"What?"

"Well, I mean his girlfriend stays over sometimes so she always has clothes here and you two look about the same size..."

"Oh no," I vigorously shook my head, "I am not going to wear your brother's girlfriend's clothes."

"But they would probably -"

"No." I said sternly, the idea made me sick, "Just give me some gym shorts."

"All my clothes are dirty." He said helplessly.

"Ugh."

"At least borrow Matt's clothes if you wont borrow his girlfriend's." Jay said pleadingly.

"Fine." I sulked and walked over to Matt's room, throwing the door open and stomping right to his dresser.

I carefully went through his drawers, finding a pair of gym shorts. Then I went over to his closet, surprisingly finding a Nirvana shirt that I tugged on over my sports bra. I caught a glance of myself in his full length mirror and nearly laughed. I looked so ridiculous and couldn't wait til after school so I could have Jay take me home to get more clothes.

By 6th lesson I was exhausted. Jay and I had been up all night talking about how I felt now that my parents had come home. It had been nice to have someone to talk about how I felt and to have them actually care about it.

Not only did we talk, but we also spent a good couple hours making out and fooling around, resulting in us not falling asleep until 4 am. And despite the fact that I felt like collapsing as I walked into my last lesson a few minutes early I decided to get a head start since I was so exhausted, plus Jay needed to take a test and he wanted to just go get it done.

Speaking of Jay, he and I had talked about where we stood together on the way to school. I held my concerns about everything in and had just smiled at him saying that I wanted to try us out. My response made him grin and all day we had been holding hands as well as kissing openly.

The idea of Jay and I being together was no longer just an idea, which drove the school nuts. Most people were already creating ship names for our relationship, yet there were a few people who were hateful of it. The haters were either guys I had previously made out with or the multitude girls Jay had managed to hook up with in the short month he had been here.
