Story of My Life

Chapter 2: The Beginning

I was at my tennis team practice when I noticed Jack standing by a tree. I grabbed my things and walked over to him and said "what are you doing here? I thought you only come here if your taking your dog for a walk or you have football or basketball practice?" He looked at me then said "I know. But, I wanted to hang out with you today and I knew you would be here today." I looked at him surprisingly wondering how he knew I was going to be here. Then, I said "ok... What you wanna go do?" I said walking to my car with him. He grabbed my things then put them in the back of my truck. After that he grabbed my hand and said walk with me for a bit. I nodded my head yes and started to walk with him over to the trail that goes out into the woods. We stayed silent for a few minutes theN Jack finally said "we've been friends for a while now..." I cut him off saying "since fifth grade." He nodded his head then, let go of my hand and leaned against the nearest tree and said "so I was wondering if you wanted to be my girlfriend" he said smiling nervously. I blushed a little smiling then, said "of course your like my best friend! Plus I've liked you since the day I met you in Mrs. Stones class." He came closer to me smiling at me then, pulled me closer to him grabbing my hand. He put his hands on my waist then, kissed me. I was finally having my first kiss but, I never imagined it be with Jack... My best friend I can't believe he likes me like this if I knew this I would've asked him out in 9th grade. I pulled away from Jack to breathe and couldn't help but smile at him and he could t do anything but smile too. Finally, after a couple of minutes of silence I asked him "when did you start liking me?" He smiled at me like you should already know that answer to that question then said "remember the Halloween dance in 7th grade?" I shook my head yes and smiled then he said "that's when I realized that liked you a whole lot." I smiled thinking back to the 7th grade Halloween dance. That's when I first entered a dancing contest then won 1st place and made Avery Hampton mad. I laughed a little thinking back to when this all happened. Jack lifted his head then, said "let me walk you to your truck" he said in a rush then said " let's go I got a bad feeling about something." I went with him to my truck and on the way to my truck I spotted a little white husky. "Jack, look" I said pointing to the husky pup. "I'm not going to leave that poor little puppy out here in the woods without a collar on!" He tried to grab me before I got to it but, I picked the puppy up and went back to Jack. He looked at me like you had to go get the puppy but instead of saying that he said "why do you look so cute when you really want to help someone or something?" He said smiling cutely at me. Before he could say another thing then I said "I'm just doing what I feel is right." I said looking down at the baby husky in my arms. Once we finally got to my truck I said "do you want a ride home or do you want to walk home?" I said putting the puppy in the back row seat of my truck. Jack leaned against my red truck then said "no thanks. I'll be fine but thank you for the offer." I got in the truck and buckled up then said "bye Jack!" I said smiling. He turned around then said "bye astrid! I love you!" I smiled at him then said "I love you too. See you later!" I drove off to my house. Once I got to my room I gave the husky some food and water. When I turned around to my bed Jack was there. "Wha... How did you get into my bedroom!?" I said curiously. He came up to me giving me a hug with relief. "Thank god your ok! I don't know what I would've done if they got you." He said with relief. I looked up at him the pulled away then said "if who got me?" I said curiously. He looked at me then said "come on let's go and I'll tell you everything but not here." I followed him and got into my car and drove us to the woods.
