Chapter 5

I look proudly at my A on the science test. That study session with Jack last night must have did the trick, because this is a lot better than I originally thought I was going to do.

"How'd you do?" I ask Jack. He smiles at me, his blue eyes shining with happiness.

"94! What did you get?"

"96."

"Ooohh! I was this close," he says putting his finger & thumb together indicating how close he was to beating me.

"Study harder next time," I wink then walk off to get to my next class. Now that was the most flirty thing i've ever done, so my stomach is doing backflips.

"Hey ladies," I say a couple hours later when I arrive to lunch.

"Well you're happy," Alisha remarks, smirking with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah well I actually passed my science test," I say proudly.

"After studying with Jaacccckk," Catherine teases, sticking her tongue out at me before she takes a sip of her milk.

"Hush!"

"Ooohh Emma & Jack! Studying in bed! K-i-s-s-i-n-g!" Jen chants cheerfully.

"You told them?" I ask Catherine, my mouth agape.

"Told us what?" Alisha demands to know, looking back & forth between us to find answers.

"Wait, did you & Jack actually kiss? I was only teasing! Ah!" I laugh at Jen's reaction & nod. It's true, Jack & I kissed. The rest of lunch continues to be pleasant as the other girls talk about Jack & I, although I blush as they start describing what the child would look like if Jack & I have one.

I go home & just lay in the backyard grass smiling, enjoying the nice weather while it lasts. I know it may be corny but hey i'm happy.

"Someone's thinking about Jack," Catherine says as she lays down next to me, sticking a piece of grass under my nose.

"Couldn't be me," I grin before I blow the grass off of my face.

"Could be, & is." I roll my my eyes. "Y'all are gonna be so cute when one of you take action."

"Yeah well, i'm just waiting for him to make the move," I explain.

"Guess it's up to me, once again," Catherine tells me as she gets up with a sigh.

"Nooo! I want this to be natural, no people to interfere."

"C'mon!! Please?" She pleads, giving me the puppy eyes.

"No!" She gave me a dirty look.

"Fine." We both get up & go into my living room to watch tv. I hear Mom on her phone so I walk to the kitchen to see what's up.

"Dad is working late tonight again," she says after she hangs up.

"Oh, when will that man ever stop," I say, making her laugh.

"Your father has always been overly into his job." With that, I go back into the living room & watch tv with Catherine.
