A Disaster in Paradise

Chapter 13

Sophia

"How was last night?" Jacob and Olivia take the two empty seats next to me, cheesy grins plastered on their faces.

I blush deeply, rolling my eyes. "It was good. " I reply simply, looking out the charter bus window.

"I think it was more than good. You both looked very anxious waiting for the elevator last night." Jacob lets out a small laugh.

"Jacob, stop. You can ask your best friend about it if you want to know so much." I look over at them both, trying to keep a blank face.

"Did you guys kiss?" Olivia blurts out, smirking.

"No comment." I look down at my phone, trying to avoid the conversation.

"You did!! Sophia! This is huge." Olivia claps her hands, laughing along the way.

"You and Jacob would make a great couple!" I smile, giving both of them a look. "You guys have been hanging out a lot lately."

"What?! That is absurd." Jacob defends himself. I look over to Olivia who is starting to blush.

"Whatever." I laugh, putting my earbuds in.

I finish collecting all my items, getting ready to go across the arena and watch Jay play soccer.

"Sophia! Are we still on for six?" I turn around, seeing Kim smile.

"Yes, of course! I'll meet you at the outlet mall at six fifteen?" I smile, brushing my fingers through my hair.

"Sure. See you then!" Kim waves, and disappears out the door.

I arrive at the stadium, seeing Olivia and Jacob sitting next to each other, giggling and talking, on the metal bleachers.

"You guys are always together, I swear." I take the seat next to them, the cold metal against my skin sending chills all throughout my body.

"Like you and Jay aren't." Olivia shoots back.

"Well I was the one kidnapped and he has been my best friend for three years, so I don't see how that is fair." I laugh.

"I dont think you guys were friends last night." Jacob winks his eye, reading me like a book.

"I have no idea what you are talking about guys." I defend myself once more.

"Sophia, you made eye contact with us in the lobby. And not to mention we do have the room next to yours, and we did here a lot of thumps." Olivia crosses her arms, her sign of triumph.

Running into the walls.. right. "Okay, that could be anything."

"True. So it could be your back slamming into a wall right? Wall to wall?" Jacob smirks, knowing he is correct.

"Think what you want. I'm going to the concession stand." I get up and head towards the concession stand, passing multiple strangers along the way.

Once I get up to the window, I look at all the food. My mouth is watering. "Can I get a red gatorade, popcorn, and a kit kat."

The worker hands me my food, and I start to walk back to the stands, not wanting to miss the opening ceremony.

"Ms.Keller, watch where you are going, don't want to end up in the wrong hands." A older gentleman seethed, looking me up and down.
