madly in love with you // js fanfiction

part 1

in this book, your name is hailey.

today we're moving from florida to virginia.
there's really no reasoning to it, we just wanted to have a little change.

*skip plane ride*
we're finally at the airport.
"call the uber now, please. i'm tired. and i want to unpack a lot today." i said to mom.
after mom and dad split recently, i've been really tired, sad, and lifeless.
i'm so tired and exhausted from packing, switching flights, walking through airport hallways which is basically olympic marathons in my point of view.

"the uber's here" mom said.
we walked outside and got in the car.
it was pretty awkward but we got dropped off at our new house quickly.
"well this is much bigger than our old house." mom said. "definitely." i said.

i ran straight upstairs to my room.
i've never been in this house before, but we already decided which room is gonna be which.
i pulled out my phone and noticed it's already 6pm. there's no point in unpacking if it's
in the evening already.

i yelled down to my mom from upstairs. "i'm
gonna go walk just to see what it's like around here. "okay." mom yelled back up.
i walked downstairs and out the door.
i noticed a boy riding his skateboard to the left
of me, so i stepped out of his way.
i turned my head to walk to other way which is the way he was riding.

but, instead i felt him fall onto me.
"fuck." i heard him say.
i fell to the ground and looked up at his hazel
eyes. they were beautiful. he was beautiful.
he looked at me straight in the eye.
"i'm so so sorry. you okay?" he asked as
he put his hand behind my back trying to help me up. "it's okay. i'm fine." i said. he let
out the cutest laugh. "okay good."

i couldn't stop staring at his eyes.
he couldn't stop staring at mine either.
"are you from around here? i haven't seen you before." he said. "nope, just moved in today." i said. "well, i could show you around if you want" he said.

"okay, sure. but one thing, i can't ride a skateboard so i'm not sure how
we would get anywhere if you're gonna
skateboard while i walk. "we're not gonna
both get on my skateboard, obviously." he
chuckled. it was cute.

we walked into the outlets that was a block away. "any stores you wanna go to?" he said.
i'm pretty scared because i didn't bring
money with me and it's kind of embarrassing
for me to say i don't have money with me.
i'll probably just say i don't want any clothes
when we get into the stores.

"i like zumiez." i said. "yo! for real? that's my favorite store." he said. he sounded really excited. "well, let's go." i said. "by the way, i'm jacob. i haven't gotten your name yet." jacob said. "oh yeah. i'm hailey." i said.
"that's a pretty cool name." he said as we
started walking to zumiez.

we went inside and he went straight
to the odd future section.
"i guess you really like these shirts."
i said. "yeah. i have a lot of them. don't mean
to brag." he said. "oh, cool. i think i might get
this spitfire sweatshirt." i said.

that moment, i forgot i left my money
at home. "crap, i forgot i left my money at home. maybe we can come back tomorrow?" i asked him. "nah, it's fine. i'll pay for you." he said. "no, jacob. you just met me
like an hour ago, i don't think you want to
pay for me." i said. "it'll be my welcome
gift." he said. he smiled when
he said that. he seemed proud and it was cute.

"oh, can't say no to that." i said. "if you're getting that, i'll get the same one." he said.
"okay." i said.
we went and paid for it. well, he paid for it.
then, we walked back home.
"well, it was nice meeting you, hailey.
could i get your number, so maybe we could
hang again?" he asked. "yeah of course."
i said. he handed me his phone and i put my
number in and set it as a contact.
"you can text me whenever." he said with a boyish grin. he walked back to his house.
his house was just across the street from mine.
