A (Somewhat) Normal Teenage Girls Life

Chapter 2 Lunch time

Lunch. Its always the best part of school.

Ericka and I's old friend, Jake, moved back today. He hasn't been here since 5th grade. And let me just tell you, he has gotten hot! Like hotter than Taylor Lautner.

Just don't tell James I ever said that.

He has the same powers as me, except we can't read each others mind.

Jake came into lunch and didn't recognize us. But sat down next to me and her anyway.

"You two gorgeous ladies look very familiar," said Jake with a smirk on his face.

"Jake, your still a big flirt I see," Ericka replied.

"You got that right sweetheart. So, tell me, why are you two so familiar?" He said with a confused look.

"Do you remember Jamie and Ericka?" I said.

"Ericka? I don't really remember her, but I remember Jamie." He sighs loudly. "I've actually been looking for her, have you two seen her?"

"Yea, I've seen her," I wink at Ericka for her to play along. "Why you looking for her?"

"Well, she is my first crush and best friend. Once I find her, I'm demanding a big welcome back hug," he said with a smirk.

I stood up spreading my arms wide for a hug. "Then, it looks like I should be giving you a bear hug right about now."

He hopped up and gave me a big hug, he whispers "I could of sworn you were my Jamie." Soon as he said that, the butterfly's in my stomach decided to fly crazily. We hugged for a few minutes, but I didn't mind, I could stay this way forever. Then we heard someone clear their throat so we pulled away to see who it is.

"Uh, bro!? Why you hugging my girl?"

James. Uh oh.

"Me and your girl have known each other since we were lil kids. The hug was just a welcome back hug." Jake said, but some words came out a little shaky, as if he we're afraid of James.

"Yea, it was my idea." I step away from Jake, and a step towards James then put my hand in his. "Jake and I's parents are really close friends, but once they moved we weren't able to talk to each other. So we were just catching up."

He doesn't look convinced. But said, "as long as you don't start hitting on her, we won't have an issue."

"No need to worry, he wasn't." I replied.

Damon decides to be a comic reliever and pop up behind me, scaring me in the process. Which makes me jump two feet in the air and scream like a lil girl. My little group of friends started laughing at me. I glared and pushed Damon playfully.

"Its not funny!!! I almost wet my pants!" Which only makes them laugh harder. Jake's voice pops into my head saying "thanks for the subject change, Jam."

"You know I really hate that nickname."

"I know, that's the point. It makes you mad," he replied.

I elbowed him. Once everyone stopped laughing, James spoke, "alright, you cool, we can be friends."

They did that weird guy hug thing, sat down next to me and started talking as they have known each other their entire lives.

"Should of known they would be great friends," Ericka states while watching them. Damon appeared in the seat right beside her.

"I'm glad they're friends, I thought I was gonna have to break up a fight," he wraps his arm around Ericks shoulder and kisses her on the cheek.

"Yea, you stepping in was a good distraction, even though I did almost wet myself." I say angrily

"You got to admit, it was pretty funny," Ericka says while trying to cover a giggle.

"yea yea. Anyway I am soooooo dreading tonight. My mom is having her boss over. And he is bringing his son. I feel like they are trying to set us up." I roll my eyes. My voice made the boys shut up

"Set you up with who? You already have me!" James said while his face turns a little red.

"My moms bosses son."

"Maybe I should go to this dinner," James says. "and make sure he doesn't hit on you."

"I'm sure the guy won't hit on me. And if he does I'll just punch him"

"Sweetheart, you aren't very strong. It won't hurt him, it'll probably make him see you as a challenge." Damon says with a smirk.

"Don't make me summon water and drench you from head to toe." I tell him and his face goes white before replying. "See those are the things that you should do to him."

Ha! He sounds scared. Serves him right. I'm strong.

"Remember to tell me all about the son, like if he's cute!" Ericka states while giggling.

Damon glared at her and I laughed but couldn't stop. I started laughing harder, it wasn't even that funny. I thought to Ericka, "is Jake using air to tickle me?" She nods her head. I whisper so low that no one can hear "air, what your doing to me, send back to Jake." I wasn't tickled anymore, but Jake was.

Jake "so...not...fair.."

Me "air let him go, he's had enough."

Jake stopped laughing but the rest of us started.

Jakes voice popped into my head  "next time I see you, you WILL be tickled. Not by air, but by my bare hands." I tell him "bring it on, Jakey."
"Don't call me that! I hate that nickname!" He replys in my head.
I say "then don't call me Jam."
