The Unfortunate Events of Jasmine Jackson

#5

Jasmine's pov

We run out as Zach has the front door and back door open for us. I look at Mia as she goes for the back door. He holds the door for me and shuts it when I get in. He quickly gets in the other side and starts driving away.

I pull my hair in front of my face so he wouldn't see me. He noticed and says, " Don't hide from me Baby doll. Your beautiful." He takes a strand of my hair and tuck it behind my ear. I blush red trying to change the subject.

"I'm pretty sure Maya us coming." I turned to Mia.

"YAYYY ok!" She says as Zach pulls the car into the parking lot. Mia gets out runs to Kellen her guy friend.
I saw everyone in the group. I saw Maya and ran up and hugged her. I turned around to see Zach.

I smile and look down as he says, "this is weird. You and I?"

"It is but I like it!" I say puzzled by my own response.
He looks at me with a smirk filling in the empty space between us.

"So you do like me? I never thought the nerd could like anyone!" He said

To be honest when said 'nerd'  it hurt a little bit.
I quickly turn around to see all my friends looking at us confused.

"Let's go get the tickets and popcorn." Mia's friend, Kellen says.

"What was that!" They all yell looking at me.

"I don't know!" I said.

"Do you like him?" Sydney says eyeballing me down.

"Remember what happened last time Jasmine!We all don't want go through that with you again! It's getting a little old! It's always the same thing!"  Tessa says almost getting everyone's attention. I get understand what she's trying to say. Tessa really can over say things.

We meet the boys to watch the movie. I didn't even care what we watched. I was too worried about Zach! He put his arm around me and I like it. I nuzzled into him smelling him. He kept looking down at me giving me butterflies.
Zach took me and Mia home. When we got to my house we talked about dumb things.

"I know you like him and he likes you!" She said as we put on our pjs.

"How do you know!" I said rolling my eyes.

"Mhmmm. The way he looks at you!" She yells.

"Sure. Good night!!" I say turning off my lights.
I sighed thinking about everything.

Zach's pov

When I got home I heard my baby sister crying. She won't sleep unless I put her to sleep. I've always done it even when I'm out of town I'll call. I see my mom walking  downstairs throwing her hands in the air looking at me.

"She won't go to sleep without you." She says. I kiss her cheek.

"I got her. Love you." I say she says good night and goes to her room.

I go up to her room to find her laying in bed with covers over her head. I smile and go beside her small bed. She's 5, so her room is very pink.

"Clara?" I whisper.

"Zachie is it really you?" She whispers back taking the covers off her head.

"It's me. Promise!" I said with a smile.

I put her back under the covers and tucked her in. I kissed her cheek and patted her back.
"Good night! I love you." I say turning off her nightstand light.

"Nighty!" She says.

I shut her door and walked to my room. I fell down on my bed with a sigh.

"What are you doing to me Jasmine Jackson!" I yell out with my hands over my face.
