Laila's POV
* BEEP BEEP BEEP* My alarm is the most anoying thing in the world. I swear when I graduate I'm gonna burn it. That alarm meant school...ugh school.
Jacob and I both go to private school. It's better for him because of his fame. Over the years he has become quite the sensation. Being his best friend and other half I have pick some fame up too. I'm a popular YouTube channel and the pics I've posted with Jacob has gotten me verified on multiple social medias.
I don't try to get famous from Jacob... It just happens. I guess this is just his life.
" hey Sartorius! " I yell from my window to his.
" what's up L" he shouts back.
" want some breakfast? " I ask.
Jacob practically lives here. I spend a lot of time at his house too. We walk to school together every morning and he comes here for breakfast a lot because his mom leaves early for work.
" ya sure!" I get dressed in some nice summer wear. A black crop top, floral high waisted shorts and my black vans. ( pic above)
( 10 minutes later)
*knock knock *
He is standing my my window on my balcony. He used a ladder that I put there because there is no tree to claim like at Jacobs house.
" do you know our house has a front door? " I ask him letting him in ( note the sarcasm).
" ya but this way is more fun! " he replies in a whiny tone. We rush down stairs an the smell of food hits our faces. We mope over to our chairs.
" wakee wakee eggs and bakee!" My mom says as she hand us our plates. As we both finish I check the time. " if we don't leave now we will be late, thanks for breakfast! Bye mom!" I say running out the door.
" ya thanks Mrs.Roleigh!"( roll-ee) Jacob says right behind me.
( at School).
Jacob and I have our first 3 classes together , then the rest are different.
We both walk into home room an take our seats. " class, we have a new student today , his name a Jackson , please take a seat next to Mr.Sartorius, Jacob please raise your hand. " the teacher says.
Under my breath I say " damn he's cute!" Jacob must of heard me because he sits right next to me. He looks kind of wound up. I don't know why.
After class
" Hey, so that new kid, he seems pretty chill, do you wanna ask him to sit by us at lunch? " I ask Jacob
" well he is ok but I guess so. " did Jacob have a problem with Jackson? Was he jealous? It will pass....I hope.
At lunch
Jacksons POV
Laila asked if I wanted to sit with Jacob and her and there friends. I've met Jacobs friends Cole and Kennedy but I haven't met Laila's. I guess their names were Mac, Kayla, and Tris.
" uh hi I'm Jackson " I say introducing myself to the table. I heard Mac whisper to Laila saying " man he is cute. " did Laila think I'm cute?
I mean she is really pretty and sweet. I may ask her out. I'm just worried she is dating Jacob. They spend all their time together , and their bracelets, what are they for?
Jacobs friends seemed to like me. They asked if I wanted to hang at Jacobs house after school so I said yes. It was nice to have made friends. I hope Laila is there too. I know they live right next to each other so I was gonna ask her out then.
Jacobs POV
So I asked Jackson over after school. I want to get to know him better. I can tell he likes Laila and I want to make sure he isn't a jerk.
Laila may not appreciate me butting in her love life but she will be happy knowing I care.
After school
Still Jacobs POV
Mac and Cole are here waiting for Jackson to show up. Laila's other friends and Kennedy had plans so they couldn't come. Laila said she would be here in a minute.
Laila 🌸😊: my mom had me do some chores before she gets home from work. I'll be there soon so don't have too much fun😊
Me: we couldn't have much fun without you here😊 see ya soon.
6 minutes later
Laila🌸😊: I'm coming up.
I see Laila climbing our tree up to my balcony. I let the doors open knowing that she would come in through there.
" sup Sartorius !" She yells from my room. I love it when she calls me that.
*knock knock*
" Jackson is here!" I shout to Laila , Mac, and Cole.
Jackson's POV
Yes!!! Laila is here. After we have talked for a little bit I'm gonna make my move.
Jacobs POV
" who wants to play truth or dare?" Mac asks. It reminds me of the time we played in the 6th grade, the time I dared Laila to kiss me. It was amazing. *snap snap*.
" hey Jacob. I've been asking you truth or dare for the past minute now. Snap out of it!" Mac says.
" oh um...truth!" Darn I should of picked dare.
" ok ...what's one thing you hate about Laila ...😈?" She asks. Why would she ask that. Well my answer is pretty clear.
" nothing, nothing, I hate nothing about her, she is perfect. " I say. Did I just say that out loud....I look up at her and her she is blushing.
Jackson's POV
I need to make my move , and quick. I can tell Jacob likes Laila and I need to ask her out before he does. I'm worried she will say no because I can tell she has feelings for him too.
" uh hey Laila...can I talk to you in the kitchen ?" I ask.
" uh sure" she says. ...
" So , I was wondering if maybe..only if you want to... Uhh... Well, go out with me?" I say. That was really hard.
Laila's POV
Did Jackson just ask me out? What do I say?! I like Jacob but Jackson really likes me , I can tell. " yes ! I'd love to!" What did I just do...
Jacobs POV
Laila and Jackson come back from the kitchen smiling. They are holding hands. Oh no. He did it. He asked her out and now she is gone. I'm jealous and sad, and kind of mad, but only at my self for not doing it sooner. I won't be a jerk because Laila deserves better.
I'll just sit back and let them be even though it pains me.
" hey you guys wanna go to the park?" Mac asks. We all agree and walk to the park. Jackson and Laila are holding hands. Ew. Mac is walking next to me.
She whispers in my ear" so I guess those two are dating.." .
" yeah I know .." I reply. "
Mac says, " dood I know you like her and I can tell you're jealous, you two have been friends forever , longer than Laila and I have , you two are made for each other. " Mac was right. I wanted Laila and Jackson to break up but I don't wanna mess with their relationship. I'm not that kind of guy.
" ugh! What am I going to do!" I whisper shout. I didn't mean to say that out loud. Laila must of heard me because she ran to me and asked what was wrong. I didn't want to tell her so I just said it was some hard homework. I hate lying to her but I had to. But seriously... What am I going to do.
AN- so ...Jackson and Laila ...what's their ship name? Do you ship them or Laila and Jacob? Happy readings
