No, I Cannot Sleep Without My Teddy Bear

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Friday came and it was time for home economics. I think Ms. Jen paired me with Jackson because she knows we’ll fail miserably and she’ll definitely enjoy it. I got to class before Ms. Jen. I walked to where Jackson was seated with a huge group of girls, as usual. All the female population drools every time he smiles. When he saw me, he grinned and waved like a maniac.

“Ade! Adeeeeeeeeeee! Over here!” he screamed.

I chuckled before walking to where he was sitting.

“Hey,” I waved.

“Sit down,” he ordered.

“Um where exactly should I sit?” I questioned. I felt girls giving me jealous glares but I just ignored them. They’ll get over it.

“On my lap,” he said eagerly.

I snorted, “I prefer to stand. Thank you.”

He faked hurt “Ouch.” then he added smugly, “Every girl wants to sit on my lap and I know you want to do that too.”

“Whatever helps you sleep at night.”

He smiled, “Come on you can sit on the table”

I glanced at the wooden table. I loved sitting on those because my short feet would be hanging down. But it was too close to where Jackson was sitting.

“Nah I’m fine,” I replied.

He glared at me for a second before putting his hands around my waist and lifting me up before placing me on the table. I let out a squeal of surprise.

“Much better,” he said looking up at me from where he was sitting on the chair.

He placed his arms on my legs and smirked at me. I glared at him before diverting my attention elsewhere waiting for Ms. Jen to arrive and trying to slow down my heart rate.

After a couple of minutes, Ms. Jen walked into class and everyone took their seats. I jumped off the wooden desk and sat on the chair beside Jackson.

“Alright everyone, bring your cookies.” she said.

Every pair handed her a plate with delicious looking chocolate chip cookies which almost made me drool. How can they cook so well?

When the whole class- except Jackson and I- gave her their cookies she turned to face us with an amused smile.

“What about you two?” she asked. Jackson and I looked at each other and as if on cue we both smirked.

I cleared my throat and took the plate which contained the gooey stuff and Jackson took his camera. We walked to the front of the class where a curious and amused Ms. Jen was.

“So first we’ll let you watch what we did and then you’ll see the result.” I told her as Jackson handed her the camera. She played the video and laughed throughout the whole thing. When I gave her the plate, she laughed so hard that tears were leaking from the corner of her eyes.

She shook her head at us, an amused smile on her face, “You never fail to make me laugh.”

“Yeah Ade and I are just too funny,” Jackson winked and wrapped a hand around my shoulders in a friendly gesture.

“I can’t wait to see how you’re going to bake the chocolate cake for next week,” she smirked.

“Can we get some help?” Jackson pleaded knowing we wouldn’t get halfway through the recipe.
