Jacob's P.O.V.
Chapter 8
4/22/16
It has been a few weeks since Loren and I started fake dating. Cammie didn't seem to bothered by it at all. Loren kept telling me to not give up but it was so hard not to. The more Loren and I fake dated the more I started to believe that Cammie wasn't as into me as I was her. Loren said that she had a look in her eye whenever I was mentioned. I didn't see a "look" in her eye. I just saw bright beautiful green eyes accompanied by her pale skin and beautiful brunette hair. She was beautiful, gorgeous and I am not worthy of her. I know that we are both 13. We're young and dumb we don't know a thing about love, but what I do know is I really like being with Cammie. Being around her, even thinking of her makes my day so much better. She is truly and amazing person. We were going to hangout after school today.
"Jacob!" The teacher yells.
"Huh?" I say
"Stop diddly daddling and get to work!" She screeches.
I sigh, but begin working anyway not trying to get in trouble with my teacher. Before I know it it's Lunch. Cammie and I walk in together and sit at the lunch table.
"So how are you and Loren?" She asks me while taking an apple out of her lunch bag.
"We're okay I guess." I respond not really trying to talk about Loren.
"What do you mean by I guess? Did something happen?" She asks with a glint of hope in her eyes.
"Oh um no but I think I have my eye out for someone else." I tell her.
"Nice." She says smiling at me.
Why were girls so confusing? I don't understand them. I don't just analyze things girls do on my free time. I would have to tell Loren about this asap. Lunch is finally over, Cammie and I walk to class together.
When school is finally over Cammie and I walk home together. She was talking to me about her music career and how she was excited to see where it would take her in the future like tours and sold out arenas. Just thinking of her being on tour and away from me gave me a pain in my chest. A pain I couldn't explain.
"Hey do you want to hangout at my house for a little?" She asks as we walk up to her house.
"Actually I made plans with Loren. Is tomorrow okay?" I tell her.
"Um yeah don't worry about it." She tells me faking a smile and walking down the path to her front door.
I quickly text Loren to come over so I could tell her what happened today. She responds instantly and lets me know that she is on her way. I respond with an okay and run upstairs to my room. I drop my bag by my door and jump right into bed. I take out my phone so I can play some games and wait for Loren to come over. A few minutes later I hear the doorbell ring.
"I'll get it." I yell to whoever was home.
I run downstairs to open the door for Loren. As I am letting her in I see Cammie walking past my house. I guess she was going to Zach's house. Cammie and I are supposed to be best friends and seems as if she's better friends with Zach than she is with me. Maybe she secretly liked him, and that's why she always hung out with her. Or maybe it's because I haven't been hanging out with her as much.
"Jacob!" Loren yells.
"What?" I say snapping out of my thoughts.
"You did it again. You spaced out." She tells me annoyed.
"Sorry." I say.
"Doesn't matter just tell me what happened today." She says.
I explain to her what happened today with Cammie and I.
"Jacob, let me tell you this now. You need to ask her as soon as possible or she will get uninterested and find someone else." She informs me.
"Don't worry I'll tell her soon." I say more to myself than Loren. "So what's up with you and Joey?" I ask. Loren and Joey had recently broken up, no one saw it coming. Even they didn't.
"Ugh don't even get me started." She says rolling her eyes.
"You know Rebecca?" She asks me.
"Yeah, of course I do you guys are like best friends." I say.
"You know what she asked me today? She asked me if it was okay if she dated Joey because Joey and I aren't together anymore. Who does that? Especially a best friend." She rants.
"Hey, hey if she dates him he will be downgrading by a lot. She maybe your best friend but she isn't the prettiest girl.." I say.
"I guess. You know what I don't control what she or Joey does. If she wants to be with him she can go ahead and be with him but she better not expect me to be there for her if he breaks her heart." She rants more.
"True." I say.
"Oh what time is it?" She asks.
"5:18" I say.
"Damnit I have to get home I told my mom I would be home at 5." She says rushing out.
"Thanks for saying bye!" I yell after her.
"BYE!" I hear her yell from downstairs.
I laugh slightly and decide to do homework since there really wasn't much to do. When I finish my homework I decide it's time to go to bed. I put my binder away change into my pajamas and go to sleep.
