His Soulmate

Chapter 9

Jake's POV

When I seen Naomi this morning my eyes glazed over and then she had to wink and me. That just added another cherry to the top. I guess my girlfriend of the week saw the exchange that happened because she punched me in the gut and walked away. It's not like it hurt or anything but I have to remember to feel what these measly humans feel. So after I crouch in "pain" I go to my first period.

Everybody's still staring at Naomi and Sandra but they ignore their catcalls and do their work for today.

While I look around the room I spot my new girlfriend of the week. I walk up to her and clear my throat. She looks up and smiles a flirtatious smile and scoots over for me to sit down with her.

"Hey Rebecca, how would you like to be my new girlfriend?" I ask turning my charm on.

"Sure Jake and my name is Cheryl but that's okay," still having that same smile.

Right then the teacher walks into the class and quiets us down. "Alright class today is the pop quiz-"

Everyone cuts him off with a groan well everyone except Sandra, Naomi, and I.

"-Now I know you guys are excited so I added five more questions than usual just to see where we're at." This time you hear cries throughout the classroom. Not real ones of course but you know what I mean.

He passes the quiz out and we get to work. I already know all this stuff so it only takes me five minutes to get it done. Apparently though, I'm not the only one because when I walk up there Naomi is already there.

She flashes me a smile and walks back to her desk. What I would do to have her but I can't I just can't. My body is pulling me to her but my mind somehow is fighting with it.

"Mr. Caldwell?" Someone snaps me out of my thoughts. I turn around and completely forgot why I was up here.

"Your quiz sir?" He says and then I feel like I just had a blonde moment. I chuckle and pass him my quiz and walk back to my seat. Thirty minutes everyone else finishes and the bell finally rings. As I'm walking out of the class someone yanks me back. I raise my fist and get ready to pound their nose in when I recognize who it is and put my fist down sheepishly.

"Hey Naomi how are you?"

"Good Jake thanks, okay so back to what I brought you back for wait what was it? Oh yeah there it is, how did you finish so fast? Nobody has ever finished at the same time as me." She looks really confused and I just laugh while shaking my head.

"Well I'm sorry to tell break it to you but I think I can beat your record, I mean I am that awesome and we can make a deal."

"Well are you going to hurry and tell me or what?" She asks impatiently looking as adorable as ever- wait a second did I just call her adorable?! Keep it down Jake you got this. Great now I'm talking to myself.

"Okay so this is how it's going to go down, we tutor together and the next time we have a pop quiz whoever finishes first has to buy the other one ice cream after dinner. Do we have a deal?" I ask because it literally just popped into my head.

"Okay deal oh and my favorite ice cream is blue bell vanilla with chocolate syrup by the way, because you know I'll win and you'll lose so I might as well tell you beforehand," she says with such confidence that I almost laugh.
