JARED'S POV
Our conversation didn't go as smooth as I wanted. It was really awkward. I think I freaked her out and made her confused. Hopefully, not that bad though. I know her and Ryan are like a thing or whatever. I hope he doesn't get mad. I mean all I want to do is get to know her better, not date her, right?
Maybe I should ask for her number? Or would that be too much for one day? The fourth period dismissal bell rings. I walk out and look for Jessica. Bingo. She's walking to her locker. When I get over there she turns in my direction. I think I scared her because she jumped back a little. "Hey?", she said.
"Hey. Sorry I scared you, I didn't mean to." She started laughing. Her laugh is adorable. She breaks my thoughts, "It's fine. Did you need something?"
What do I say? Do I ask for her number? I'm frozen and I look like an idiot. "Uh", I scratch the back of my head, "I was wondering if maybe I could get your number?" God I hope she says yes. That would be awful if she doesn't. I've never had a girl reject me before.
Her face goes a little pale for a second and then she says, "Sure, yeah... Okay." She's so cute when she's nervous. We exchange phones and put our numbers in. When I put my name in, I put a little smiley face beside it. Am I trying too hard? Of course not, it's just a smiley face. It doesn't mean anything. We hand each other our phones back.
JESSICA'S POV
I can't believe Jared ask me for my number! I'm walking outside to my car and everyone is looking at me funny. It's probably because I'm smiling so big right now.
I climb in my mustang and start the engine. Just then someone taps on my window, making me jump. It's Ryan. I forgot about him for a few minutes. Is that bad? I roll down my window.
"Do you mind if I catch a ride with you Matthews?" He said. "Sure thing Taylor. Get in."
The car ride home was pretty fun. My radio was blasting the whole time and we tried to sing along to the songs we knew. He has a really good voice. He says I do too, but I know that isn't true. I sound like a dying duck when I sing.
When I dropped him off at his house I felt my phone buzz, but I ignored it, at least for now. Right before Ryan got out, he leaned over and kissed my cheek. He is so sweet to me. I really do like him.
Twenty minutes later, I got home and headed up to my room to start studying for my Algebra quiz coming up. I pulled out my phone and decided to read my message I got earlier. As soon as I saw the smiley face I knew who it was.
Jared:) : Hey
Me: Hi
Jared:) : wyd
Me: looking at the smiley face beside ur name¿?
Jared:) : u can take it out if u want :/
Me: don't think I want to :)
What am I doing? Ryan and I are... I don't know what we are. Are we even something? I mean we went out one time. He hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend, so does that mean that I'm technically still single?
Jared:) : o.k. :)
Me: wyd
Jared:) : doing hw
Me: me too.... what's yours?
Jared:) : Algebra. u?
Me: Algebra
Jared:) : wanna work on it together?
Me: sure
For the rest of the night we continued texting and working on our homework together. It was nice to have someone to work with. We got so confused with some of the texts we had to call each other, which was kinda weird. We decided to call it a quits around ten thirty.
Me: I'm tired :(
Jared:) : me too :(
Me: thx for helping me
Jared:) : anytime ;)
Me: G'night
Jared:) : G'night
