Jai & I

Chapter 8: The big question...

The next morning, I woke up at 7:30am and got ready for school. I was the only one going to school today because Jake and Jades interview is on Wednesday. I jumped straight into the shower, straightened my hair, put in a pretty black flower head band, put on my makeup. I tried to make my make up look as natural as possible so I didn’t get in trouble, got dressed into my uniform and packed my lunch into my bag. School started at 9:30am everyday, so I had half an hour to spare. Mum took some photos and we headed off to school. When I arrived at school, Jai was waiting at the front gates of the school. Mum and Jade dropped me off out the front so I could walk in with Jai. “I love you Angel.” Said mum gently kissing my cheek. “Call me when your finished school.” Jade ran up to me and wrapped her arms around my waist and whispered, “I love you A, im gonna miss you!” I smiled and hugged her tighter. I finally let go and said, “I love you’s, have a good day!” Jai sees me and smiles and waves at me. Jai runs up and gives me a hug and says “Hey!” “Hey!” I say back at him smiling. I still can’t keep my eyes off him. He is just perfect in every single way! “So you excited?” he asks while slipping his phone into his pocket. As we start walking into the school I reply, “Yes!!” with a huge smile. He giggles and looks down at his feet. “You came just in time! We are performing our assessment today.” He says. “And what might that be?” I ask him. “Its for music class, we have to make up a song and perform it to the class.” He says. “Oh, are you nervous?” I ask him with a smile on my face. “Yeah kinda now you’re here.” He says looking up at me smiling and blushing a bit. “Awh Jai, don’t be nervous. You will be amazing!” I reassure him as I slide my arm up on his shoulder. We walk past lots of people in the school grounds who just stare at us, and whisper between themselves. We walk up to Jai’s group, and find Kate standing in the group. Jai taps Kate on the shoulder and says, “Look what I found!” Kate turns around and smiles and gives me a hug. “Well hello there stranger!” says Kate in a sarcastic voice. Everyone else in the group is just smiling at me trying not to look confused. Then Kate announces, “Everyone, this is Angel. Angel this is Tom, Jack, Lilly and Brooke.” “Hey!” I say to everyone with a friendly smile on my face. “Angel,” says Kate, “can I talk to you for a second?” “Yeah, sure!” I say smiling. Kate leads me over to a tree and sit down on a silver seat. “Angel, I need to ask you something.” Kate begins. I give her a confused and worried look. “Do you like Jai?” ‘Oh no! Maybe it was really obvious to everyone! Oh he probably thinks im an idiot now.’ I think to myself. “Um,” I blush I little and continue, “why?” “Because Angel!” She starts looking down at her lap. “He likes you! He is never that shy around any girl and he talks about you every day!” She says giggling. ‘Oh my gosh! This cant be happening! Maybe she is just joking.’ I think to myself trying not to get my hopes up, yet uncontrollably blushing and smiling. “Well, I kinda like him. But I don’t want to date him yet, I don’t know him well enough.” I say smiling at her.  She smiles back and nods. “Oh and just to let you know, the popular girls want you in there group because you are the prettiest girl in the grade.” She says giving me a serious look. “Are you serious? Everyone in your grade is gorgeous! And I would never leave you guys.” I say smiling. “Okay, well lets go back over to the group.” Suggests Kate. So Kate and I walk back over to the group and talk for a little bit before the bell to class goes. As soon as the bell goes, Lilly volunteers to come to the office with me to collect my schedule for the year. As we talked more and more, Lilly also told me about how Jai doesn’t stop talking about me and that he really likes me. I giggled and told her the same thing I told Kate. Lilly is a very lovely girl with a great sense of humor. She is really sweet and friendly. I really like Lilly, and I knew that we would be good friends. I got my timetable and walked to my first class. Maths. I was good at maths, but I didn’t enjoy it. As I walked into the class, my teacher Mrs. Kent introduced me to the class. Kate and Brooke were the only ones in my class with me. I sat down in-between Brooke and Kate and we begin the lesson. All of a sudden, Brooke leans over to me and whispered in my ear, “You must be good at maths” I gave her a confused look, “this is extension maths.” “Really?” I replied with a confused look.  “You’re the only one in the grade who is in all extension classes.” “Wow, I don’t even know what im doing here!” I said with a smile giggling a little. Brooke giggled while Kate leant over to tell us to be quiet. “Wow Angel! You’re finished already?” said Kate in disbelief. “Yeah, haven’t you?” I asked. “No!” she replied laughing. All of a sudden, Mrs. Kent says, “Kate! What’s the problem?” “Oh nothing miss, its just that Angel has finished her work already!” said Kate. I sat there blushing, trying not to make eye contact with the teacher. “Really?” begins Mrs. Kent, “bring me your work please Angel!” she said with a slight smile on her face. Mrs. Kent was a young, beautiful teacher who was really sweet. “Wow Angel”, she says, “im really impressed with your work! This is even extension mathematics.” I just smile at her. “You may go and sit down now Angel and continue through the questions.” She demands. Finally the bell rings and its time for science, I wonder who is in my class? “What class do you guys have next?” I asked looking down at my timetable. “Um, we have English. What do you have?” asked Kate. “Aw, I have science, I don’t know who’s going to be in my class! What if I don’t know anyone?” I ask Kate and Brooke worriedly. “Im sure you’ll make friends Angel, you’re a lovely girl.” Said Brooke smiling at me. “Well, we better get going Brooke, Ms. Turner will kill us if we are late!” Said Kate laughing with Brooke. “Bye Angel!” Kate and Brooke shouted as they walked to there next class. As I arrived at the door of my new science class, I quickly took a look into the classroom to see if anyone I knew was in there. No one that I knew was in there, but as Brooke said, it’s good to make new friends! As I walked into the classroom, I looked around the room for somewhere to sit, while my teacher, Mr Murray, was introducing me to the class. I found a seat in the back corner that had a spare seat in front of me and next to me. On the other side of me was a girl who was really pretty and friendly. “Hi, my name is Bridgette,” said the girl with a sweet smile on her face. “Oh hi,” I said smiling “my name is Angel.” She laughed and said, “Yeah I know, you were just up the front.” “Oh right.” I said with an embarrassed giggle. “Alright class! Please do question 17 to 25 on page 225. You wont be leaving for break until they are done!” I immediately look over to Bridgette, because I didn’t have a book, I was getting all my textbooks tomorrow. “Hey, Bridgette,” I whisper “can we please share that text book, I don’t have one at the moment, sorry.” “Oh yeah sure!” she said smiling as she moved the book in between us. All of a sudden, I heard a familiar voice from the door.
