Ten Reasons

Reason 3 part 2

Haily Pov

Why did Jack want to go to Prom with me so bad? Its like not like I was anyone special. I was just Haily Jones, the invisible girl who was struggling with Math class, I was not very smart, I was definitively not pretty I was just a nobody, So why would he want to take me to prom? The answer was obvious.

It was a prank.

He was trying to trick me into going with him so that he could prank me and embarrass me. Theres no way I was going to fall for the tricks again.

I do have to admit, I had started to like him when we went to that beach. I was terrified of falling in love because I knew I would end up getting hurt and I wasn't going down the same path my mom did.

But every time I saw Jack my walls came down just a little. There was something about him, I didn't know what is was, but he made me feel...happy. And let me tell you something, its been quite awhile since was last happy.

Growing up with no dad it made it difficult for me to ever fall in love. My dad left my mom and I when I was seven years old, I never heard from him again. Mom was heartbroken, she tried her best to stay happy for me but I knew she was breaking inside.

Its from my parents that I learned that through love, you will get broken and bruised. And I didn't want that. I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt someones presence. I looked up as Jack sat down next to me.

"Whats up Haily?" He asked and took a bite out of his sandwich. I shrugged a small smile on my lips.

"Nothing much, just eating lunch." I told him and he smiled at me. What the heck Jack! Stop doing that! I'm not falling for your charms! Don't fall for him Haily! He'll turn around and stab you in the back if you do! I thought to myself.

I forced a small smile and he raised his eyebrows, but then just shrugged,"Are you free this Friday night?" He asked,"I want to take you on another date."

I stared at him for a moment before going through my phone to find my schedule. I found this Friday and didn't see anything planned. Huh, nothings going on. I looked up at him before glancing down at my phone, then back up at him.

I sighed,"I don't have anything going on Friday." I told him and he smiled at me again.

"Great! I'll be at your house to pick you up at six." He told me and quickly stood up, walking out the cafeteria doors.

"Wait!" I called, flabbergasted at his answer,"I didn't even say yes!" I quickly stood up and raced after him,"Jack wait!"

He looked over his shoulder at me and took off running. I chased after him, getting a painful stitch in my side. Yeah, it was definitely not smart of me to run after eating,"Jack wait!"

He started running faster, running down the hall to his next class. An idea popped into my head and I picked up my pace. He started to slow down and I started to catch up with him. He came to a stop and started panting.

I tackled him to the ground and he looked up at me in surprise,"What the heck Haily!? That hurt!" He complained and I glared down at him.

"Why were you running from me?" I demanded, a bit hurt that he didn't stop to talk with me. I guess my theory was correct, he didn't actually want to take me to prom, he was just trying to trick me and break my heart.

"You looked like you wanted to kill me!" He told me and gave me a light shove, pushing me off of him,"What did you want me to do?"

"I just wanted to talk," I told him and he sat up as I knelt next to him, he used his arm to prop himself up,"And I always look like I want to kill someone, get used to it."

"You don't always look like that," Jack tells me,"Just when your angry."

I rolled my eyes at him,"Look, I didn't say yes t that date." I told him and he shrugged.

"I don't care, I have a third attempt to get you to come to prom with me, so I'm taking you on a date whether you like it or not." He told me and I rolled my eyes at him again.

"What is it with you and Prom?" I asked and he shrugged.

"I just want to take the girl I've a crush on since seventh grade to come to prom with me, whats so wrong with that?" He asked and I sighed.

"Look Jack, your sweet and all, but I think you have the wrong girl," I told him and me smiled a little. "No I don't."

"Yes you do!" I exclaimed,"Why don't you just ask someone else to prom? I'm sure they'll gladly agree."

He shook his head,"I don't want to go to prom with anyone but you."

I felt my cheeks heating up and he gave me a big grin,"Are you blushing?" He teased and I smacked his arm.

"No!" I exclaimed and put my hands over my pink cheeks he laughs and pulls my hands away.

I stared at his light gray eyes and he stared into my green ones,"You have pretty eyes." He suddenly told me and I quickly stared at the ground, my pink cheeks turning red.

He leaned forward and placed a light kiss on my cheek before standing up,"Well, I have to go to class before I get detention again, and you should probably do the same."

I nodded my head and stood up. We headed our separate ways.

What was that boy doing to me?
