Monday Morning -
ALEXIA'S  POV:

Jacob wanted to pick me up this morning, so we could walk to the bus stop together. Even though we do every single day, he's been so sweet.

I sat at the kitchen counter, I watched as my mom and Ryan left for work. I sat around the house, waiting for 7:35 a.m. to come around. Since that's what time we head over to the bus.

Snacking on an apple, almost finished. A knock came upon the door, I threw my apple core into the compost batch. Then grabbed my flower patterned backpack, slinging it over my shoulder, I head out and smile when I see him.

"Good Morning, Lexi." He smiles, holding a small plush in his hand.

"Is that for me?" I ask, looking down at the small little fox plush.

"Yeah." He hands it over, I immediately hug it and tip toe to kiss his cheek.

He blushes, then we join hands and walk to the bus stop. I didn't mind if kids saw it, they barely pay attention to us anyways. So why not?

We waited at the bus stop, it was warm out. Which was surprising, since it was still just the beginning of Spring.

I leaned my head against Jacob's shoulder, as he still held onto my hand.

During Social Studies class, Jacob was texting me. The teacher was showing YouTube videos about stuff, so he was obviously distracted. But Jacob kept sending small texts like;

You look so pretty today.

Do you like photography? Cause I can picture us together.

My favorite letters in the alphabet are U R A Q T.

I give small laughs, as I read these. He was such a cheesy guy, which is what I love about him. He's too cute and fun.

Jacob<3: How were my pick up jokes? Did you like them?

Myself: I loved them. You're so cute.

Jacob<3: You're cuter.

"Class! Please take out your textbooks and open up to Chapter 24. Start us off Melissa, and so on with everyone else."

Mr. Snider spoke, I put my phone on mute. And listen to everyone read, soon it was my turn to read. As I looked up, since I didn't know how to pronounce a word. Jacob did a silly face, I tried hard to not let a laugh slip out.

After Mr. Snider helped out and I continued onto read.

The bell rang, everyone gathered their stuff and walked out of the classroom. Even the teacher left, Jacob waited for me as I put everything back into my bag. He was being a gentlemen.

When I was done, we walked out and talked about what we were gunna do after school. We decided on going to the movies to watch something new.

After School -

I stepped out of the shower, getting ready to go to the movies with Jacob. My mom didn't mind at all, because she knew he was a good kid. And he wouldn't hurt me. She trusted him.

I pat myself dry, and put lotion on. After, I picked my outfit out.

I decided on black waist high skinny jeans, one of Jacob's hoodies, and my white Chuck Taylor's.

My hair was curled, and I only had on eyeliner and mascara. This one time, I was allowed to wear makeup with my mom's permission.

I grabbed my phone and walked downstairs, passing my mom.

"Hey, hey. Get back over here." My mom said, getting up from the couch.

"Yes?" I ask, walking over to where she was.

"Are you wearing his hoodie?" She smiles, and looks me up and down.

"Maybe."

"Awww. My baby's in a relationship."

She stands up and hugs me, I hug back. She lets go, and let's me walk out.

I walk next door to Jacob's, his sister answers the door. Complimenting me;

"You look so pretty." Caroline said, soon enough her mom walked into the living room.

"Oh honey, you look so beautiful." Her eyes brimmed tears, she hugs me.

"Jacob should be done any second. I'll be in the car." She says, she's driving us to the movie theater.

"Caroline! Do I loo-" Jacob rushed down the stairs, he looked me up and down, "Wow. You look gorgeous, Lexi."

"Thanks. And you do like good. No need to ask Caroline. Just one thing, though." I tip toe and fix a piece of hair sticking out.

He smiles, and grabs his phone. We head out and climb into the car.

I take his phone and unlock it, going onto the camera. I know about his Internet career, I looked at some of his pictures. But decided to take a few.

I make silly faces, or smiling, or just even take a few with Jacob. I send some to my phone for myself to keep.

When I'm done, we were at the theater. His mom gave us some money to buy tickets, popcorn, etc.

We first went to the counter to get tickets for The Jungle Book, then we headed over to get some popcorn and snacks.

"Hi, what can I get you?" The lady asked behind the counter.

"One large popcorn, one large cup, some licorice, and Reese's." Jacob said, she put everything in and handed us everything.

We went to the soda drink fountain, he asked me what I wanted. And I suggested Coca-Cola, which we got.

In the middle of the movie, Jacob moved his hand to my leg. Butterflies emerged into my tummy, but I went along with it and just leaned against his one arm and watched the movie.

At one part, he whispered my name and I looked up. We ended up kissing.

Only about 5 seconds longer than a peck, but I still enjoyed it.

I now really, really love him.
