Fate // Jakob Delgado

Chapter Ten - Trust

"Savannah, Savannah wake up." I felt a light nudge on my arm. I obviously was awake but I couldn't be bothered to lift myself up and out of bed.

"Princess come on, you have to be home soon. Please wake up." He kept on nudging my shoulder.

It suddenly just stopped and I started to doze off again. That was until a large thud was made as he sat on my body while I was still lying down.

"JAKOB!" I screamed out. He just continued to lie over me and ignore my groans and humphs. Game on buddy.

I used my body parts, all my force and bodyweight to start pushing him towards the end of my bed. He was trying to push back and climb on top of me to stop me but I was stronger than him.

"It'll only take one more push from me and you'll be on the ground. I don't think you should test me Delgado." Trying to annoy him back with an evil grin on my face as I was now sitting up in his bed so he could see my face clearly.

He stared at me with a blank face, he was probably thinking yet you couldn't tell from his blank facial expression.

As he didn't try to do anything, I took this as an advantage to push him off the bed. He fell off his bed with a scream and just laid on the floor. He was completely frozen, the position he was in made him look like he was dead.

I got out of the bed and crawled over the white quilt to the end of it, leaning over and watched Jakob lie on the floor.

Minutes of staring then became minutes of play fighting and tickling as Jakob leaped back up onto his bed and almost pinned me to it as he tickled me. I tried to get him off of me by punching him but that didn't seem to work as the more I punched, the more he tickled.

"J-Jak-ob pl-ease stop," Trying to say what I wanted to was almost impossible but I continued "I-I n-eed to ge-et ho-me." The pain all over my body and cheeks from smiling and laughing was excruciating.

"Okay I'll stop now," Jakob mumbled as he climbed off of me in a gliding action, "Would you like an apple or something before we go?"

"Yes please." I managed to get out as I was once again stuck and more concentrated on my social media than listening to anyone else.

"What is this?!" I gasp to myself in sudden shock to see a photo of Chris kissing some girl that goes to our school. I stare into the photo harder and harder to then realise it was Ashleigh.

Now Ashleigh isn't a bad person nor was she good. She was a sweet girl and super stunning, but I've always had this weird vibe about her ever since she was in my History class, this was two years ago.

We've never had a proper conversation, unless we walk by each other on the way to class or recess and lunch we say hello. There's this feeling about her that makes me feel cautious whenever she is around, I'm not sure how to explain it.

She doesn't get suspended or in huge trouble, she gets told off every now and then but not very nice rumours have also spread around about her which I do believe at least a little bit.

Jakob walks in with a tray of apples in a bowl and two glasses of water. He places the tray on the bed and sits at the end of it while I sit across from him at the bed head.

We stare at each other, Jakob more focused into my eyes. He must've been deep in thought as he started to smile at me. I lightly chuckled and picked up an apple, starting to eat it. He did the same but complete silence was amongst us apart from the loud crunches and shuffling every now and then.

"Do you want to shower or freshen up before we leave?" He said not looking up to my face.

"Are you saying I look revolting?" I furrow my eyebrows as he now looks up with a half shocked look on his face. I do sometimes assume things before actually knowing what's going on.
