Jake's POV
I roll over in my bed to feel my other side of the bed that i'm totally going to snooze in. I'm about to knock out when someone barges into my room. I grunt and mumble, "5 more minutes." I hear the person shuffle and she yanks my blanket away. Ugh! I squint my eyes while sitting up. I am about to tell the person to screw off but instead i'm faced with my mom crossing her arms with a serious look on her face. Shit! She's angry. What did i do? More importantly, what didn't i do?
I rub my eyes and try to figure out what she's mad about. I cleaned my room, I fed Rose, I even walked her. What is it? I suddenly get interrupted when my mom asks me, "Aren't you supposed to be somewhere?"
I look around and slowly ask, "Deep in my dreams..."
She squints her eyes and asks, "What did that beautiful girl see in you?"
I get out of bed and ask, "What is this all about? Am i supposed to be ready for something?"
My mom points to my chair and I notice my suit. What's today? Ok suit equals formal event. Now what formal event am I attending? Does it have to do with school? I pick up my phone and check the date...June 17th. What is so...Oh shit! I quickly grab my suit and my mom gets the hint to leave. I slide on my suit and fix my tie. I look in the mirror and run my hands through my hair. I fix my suit and slide on my shoes. Snazzy. I look in the mirror and think, these shoes aren't me. I slide them off and put on my converse. Ahhh...better.
Ok now what else am I missing? The date! Wait is Dakota ready? Shit! I pick up my phone and call her right away. Pick up. Pick up. She picks up and i hear her tell her mom to shoo. I scratch my neck and say, "Hey."
She huffs and says, "Hey...by any chance are you near my house?"
I pick up my earphones and stuff them in my pocket while i run down the stairs and try to find my mom, "I'm on my way...Why?"
I can hear her push someone and says, "Not ready yet...so...take your time."
I sigh and smile, "It's cool. You take all the time you need. After all I don't want you looking like a mess on our special day."
I hear her giggle and she just says, "Well, goodbye. I have to get back to getting ready."
I smile and hang up. I huff and just run a hand down my smiling face. Oh she's a keeper. I actually look at whats infront of me and see Kristina fluttering her eyes at me while I just furrow my eyebrows. What the hell is she looking at. I turn around to hear the door bell ring. Might as well get it. I scream, "Got it!"
I walk to the door and open it to see Alexander. He turns around with a bouquet of flowers. Now what the fuck is this? Don't tell me this is like one of those bet things that he has been doing. I see him nervously run a hand through his hair and i just fold my arms. He looks me in the eyes and nervously says, "Um...hey dude...whats up?"
I tilt my head and ask, "Why are you here?"
He chuckles and says, "You see about that girl that i told you about..."
I loosen up and say, "Yeah what about her?"
He looks around and says, "I don't know how to say this dude...but what the hell! So I kind of asked her to the prom."
He closes his eyes and turns his head as if he was waiting for me to punch him or something. I fold my arms once more and ask, "Intentions?"
He slowly gets out of his previous position and says, "Um...I was just going to take her to prom..."I squint my eyes and he just huffs, "Dude, I get it. No funny business."
