Second Chances

Chapter 12

*JENNA'S P.O.V*

That night, I couldn't stop thinking about the text. It took be an hour after reading it to fall asleep. I didn't reply, I didn't know what to say!

It was morning now, I lay looking at the ceiling. Just thinking..

The most popular, beautiful boy.. ever has just said he liked me. It must be a bet.. There must be a catch somewhere because this doesn't happen to me.

Urgh. What do I do?! Because if it is a bet, and I admit that I like him back, the whole school would find out and just take the mick out of me.

But, if he is being serious, and I don't tell him I like him back.. He'll loose interest.

"Just do it. Do it." I whispered to myself, sitting up and grabbing my phone.

To: George X

Meet me at the park in an hour.

Jen x

If this is a lie or a bet.. I'll be able to see it in his face or hear it in his tone. But, the George I've gotten to know these past few weeks, isn't the person people take him for.

That's what's giving me hope.

- AT THE PARK -

He was sitting on the bench in the park when I walked down. He was putting his hand up to his mouth every 30 seconds or so as I walked down the path, his back to me.

I walked behind him and as I got nearer I looked over his shoulder, seeing a cigarette in his hand.

I sighed to myself before tapping his shoulder. He jumped and turned his head before quickly dropping the cigarette and pressing his foot onto it, standing up.

"Hey, Jenna.." He smiled cautiously, shoving his hands in his pockets and looking at me.

I smiled slightly and swung my legs over the fence, sitting on it. George came and sat down next to me, resting his feet on the back of the bench.

"So.." He sighed, looking down at his hands, yellow nicotine stains at the tips of his fingers.

"Do you really like me?" I spat out, not bringing my eyes up from the sand. But, out the corner, I saw him turn his head to me.

"Yeah" He whispered.

I gulped, looking round to him, shaking my head. "Why?"

I may sound like I'm going in a bit, but I honestly don't understand it. Why would he like me?!

"Why? Well because you're different." He said, looking back at the floor.

I just kept my eyes on him, it wasn't a hard task.. "What do you mean?"

"You, you're just interesting. You're so quiet, yet you have so much to say. You're kind, beautiful and just plain amazing." He stuttered out, finally forcing his head back up to look at me as he finished.

My mouth fell open, stating at him as he stared back, smiling slightly.

"I.. I like you too, George.." I smiled, praying to God that he was being 100% serious.

He smiled, looking down at his hands before sighing. "Even if I smoke and drink and get into a few fights.. You still like me?"

"Yes! Smoking and drinking can be easily stopped, George.. And as for fighting, you said you didn't want to be like that, so don't." I smiled, moving closer.

He shrugged, "I will try.." He looked down to me, smiling.

"You don't need to change, you know.. I've gotten to know the real you and he's perfect" I smiled.

He reached for my hand, I took a shaky breath before interlocking my fingers with his, he gave mine a little squeeze.

"So, what does this mean?" I asked, my eyes glued to our intertwined hands, an image I thought I'd never see.

"Whatever you want it too mean.." He smiled, watching me.

I looked up, shrugging, I could feel my cheeks burning up. "Your call.." I laughed.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked, laughing at me.

I took a deep breath, smiling wider than I thought was humanly possible. "Yes!"

He grinned and leaned down to me for a second time in two days, only this time I didn't have anywhere to escape too.. And I didn't want to leave either. I'd never had my first kiss, as I'd mentioned.. But, I wasn't scared, this felt like a perfect time.

I closed my eyes, feeling his soft lips connect with mine, his hand on my cheek gently pulling me closer.

Butterflies erupted in my stomach as our thighs touched, his hand snaked around my waist.

I pulled away, blushing and quickly resting my head on his shoulder so he wouldn't see my flaming cheeks.

Life Is Perfect.

For now...
