The Artist & The Jock

Chapter 3

Jake's POV

I woke up, really triggered I had to wake up again. School is a pain, but all my friends and Alissa make it a lot better. Honestly, I've been thinking.. what am I to Alissa? What are me and Alissa? Are we friends or could me and her possibly be more..? No! Me and her are just friends-- IT'S 8:30 ALREADY?!?! Ugh, I need to get dressed.

After I had gotten dressed, I ran downstairs to get breakfast and of course, my parents already left for work but they left me a bowl of cereal and orange juice. I shrugged and just ate my breakfast. I guess I'm just done everything I need to do so far other than get my backpack and leave. 

As I walk out my house, and I notice my friend Aaron leaving his house. "Hey Aaron!" I call to him. "Oh hey Jake, what's up?" He calls back to me, I reply back to him "Not much, wanna walk together?" He looks back at me with an awkward face and says "Sorry man, I already planned to walk with Jack. But I think you'll catch up to Mark on your way to school." Aaron then hops on his bike and waves goodbye to me as he walks away. Eh, whatever. I just continue walking to school normally.

Alissa's POV

I'm so glad I live the closest to school, it's only like 2 minutes away. I think to myself as I fix my hair. Hm.. 23 minutes until classes start. I have plenty of time to do whatever. I continue to blow dry my hair after my morning shower. I put my hair in space buns and slip on a cozy sweater and scarf. I put on some leggings, socks and brown boots. 

As I rush down the stairs, my mom starts talking about the latest boring trends she's been hearing as she passes me a plate with fruit and waffles, she also places a glass of chocolate milk next to the plate of food. "Dig in. Also, make sure you're finished any homework you got!" My mom says. "Thanks mom, and I finished all my homework last night. By the way, where is dad? Isn't he joining us for breakfast?" I reply back to her, she sits down next to me and says "Your father's on a business trip. He'll be gone for the next 5 or 6 days." I just say "Oh. Okay." and I start eating the fruit and waffles on my plate. After I finish my food and glass of chocolate milk, my mom takes them to the sink and I grab my backpack.

I have 10 minutes left so I just double-check I have everything and then I leave. I approach the school and groan, another day of school I say in my head. Just today and then it's the weekend!

TIME SKIP - 1ST PERIOD - 9:10 AM

Alissa's POV

The dreaded class, literature. I sit down in the middle row and surprise, surprise, Jack plops down next to me. He hands me a chocolate bar, I quietly take it and say "Thanks." I don't know why he would give me a chocolate bar but it's clear he wants something out of me by his actions, I just don't know what. If he tries anything sneaky, I'll just call for help from a teacher or my parents. But it seems this is just free chocolate. I'll save it for after class.

The teacher hands out 2 blank lined sheets of paper to everyone and tells us we're going to be writing to our parents/guardians, the first page for one parent and the second for the other parent. He then explains if we only have one parent/one guardian then we can write to them on both pages and then the teacher tells us to get to work.

I first write to my mom and the second page I write to my dad.

TIME SKIP - LUNCH BREAK - 10:50 AM

Jake's POV

After I get out of Health, I head to my locker and unlock it, grabbing my lunchbox and putting away my stuff from Health. I then close my locker, lock it and head over to find Alissa. When I finally found her, she was stuck trying to get Jack to leave her alone, typical Jack behaviour: annoying. After Alissa sees me she runs over and says "Jake! Hey!" I reply back with a simple "Hey, I noticed you've got a little pet there." I laugh and Jack runs up to her asking her to just try this chocolate bar he apparently gave her.

Ugh, he's being so annoying. Alissa mouths the words to me and then she laughs. "Here, pass the chocolate." I say to her and she throws the chocolate across to me. "Thanks." I say as I observe the chocolate and pass it to Jack and I say, "Take it and keep it." Jack leaves, angry. I lean on the locker next to Alissa's locker as she unlocks her locker and puts away her stuff. "Soo, how ya been feeling this week? It's been one whole week since school started." I say to her. She replies back with "I've been good, how about you?" while she takes out her lunchbox and closed her locker then locks it.

"I've been great, Jack has just been kinda annoying but oh well." I say as we walk to the cafeteria this time, finding our own table away from other people. Jack ofcourse is sitting with the jocks also known as my old table before I met Alissa and me and her started hanging out at the bleachers every break.

Alissa's POV

Instead of going to the bleachers, this time for lunch Jake suggested me and him should find our own table in the cafeteria so we found an empty table and sat down and just ate and talked, it was really nice until the shipping table saw us.. a small group of people ran up to our table and started chanting "I ship it, I ship it, I ship it." 

Truly. Terrifying.

Luckily they're leaving after about a minute and me and Jake got to eat and talk but there was a small rumour buzzing around about me and Jake in the cafeteria. Thank the lord I'm not popular or else me and Jake would get a ship name. At least me and Jake got to eat I thought to myself. 

TIME SKIP - END OF THE SCHOOL DAY - 3:30 PM

Alissa's POV

Finally, the weekend, I can relax and listen to some P!ATD and MCR songs while I draw. Thank the lord for the weekend, I laugh at my joke as I walk home.
