The Perfect Guy

Chapter 6

I wake up the next day happy as ever. I quickly got dressed and did my hair and makeup. I was wearing a black skirt and tank top. I was planning on wearing my black, high-top converse, but i couldn't find them.  I looked everywhere. My phone buzzed and i had gotten a text from Jackson. How did he get my number? I asked myself. I just shrugged it off and read it.

Jackson: Good Morning! I can't wait to see you. Also, you left your black converse here. I'll bring them to class and give them to you. See you soon! Xo ~    Jackson<3

I let out a big smile and texted him back.

Lexie: Good Morning! So that's where they went. Can't wait to see you either! See you! Xo <3

I just put on my basketball shoes, i'd wear them till Jackson gave me my converse. But that's ok because I don't see him till 4th period, after gym.  We have 3rd hour gym, 4th hour chem, 6th hour math, and 7th hour world studies together. We have gym together but we are not doing the same things. He usually does football during the fall because he is on the football team. I usually play basketball or volleyball. I get Courtney to pick me up and drive me to school because i don't have my license yet. I'll be 16 in a few months tho. We finally get to school, and I get to my class. 1st hour- English. We are currently reading a play. It isn't the most exciting one either. Then it's over, and onto my favorite class, STEM(Science Technology Engineering and Math). We are building a radio. It's a lot of fun actually. I may be 1 of the 3 girls, but this class is so entertaining because of it. The guys are always messing around and making fun of each other. Even our teacher does sometimes to. Though it's my favorite, it always goes by the fastest. I then have Gym. This should go well. Nobody knows that i'm going with Jackson. Not even Courtney. I feel bad that I am not telling her this. I think she is suspicious because i was extremely happy this morning. More than normal. I guess she didn't care because she seemed to have brushed it off. I'm finally there, changed into basketball shorts and a tank top,  just to see Ben waiting for me. "Sooooo, About that deal" he says exaggerating the so. "Yea, about that. I can't go to hoco with you" I say back. He laughs and says "Well, that's not up to you. It's up to the basketball gods" I stand there for a second then smirk" Welllll. You are gonna have to beat me, and we all know how you are 'soooo good' and how it is soooo easy to beat me, right?" The group oooh's and some laugh. I HAVE to win this game. We start playing and he is actually doing really good. Crap! It's about to be 4th quarter and i am down by 3. I am not about to lose to Berberich, in basketball, to be HIS date! We are about to start again and i take off my shoes, tank top, and basketball shorts. I'm left in spandex shorts, and a sports bra. I walk over to play and he looks at me. I didn't do this just because i am starting to get really serious about the game and hot, even though I am. I am a girl, and I know a few tricks. We start playing again and he has not been doing as well anymore. He is distracted. Bingo! I make my moves and am quickly ahead again. "Game is over" says one of the kids. I WON! A sigh of relief rushes over me. Ben walks over "good game. Unfair, but good" i laugh and hug him. "Honestly, that was the toughest game i have played against you. You did really good. Too bad i don't have to go to hoco with you. Such a shame" he responds with "Yea, well your loss. You can't find this anywhere else" he motions his hands across his body. "I think i can manage" I snap back as he walks away. I go back in to change and go to chem. I have been waiting for this. I get to see Jackson in Chemistry. We actually are lab partners. I get there super excited to see him and he is waiting at our seats. When i get closer i see he is looking at his phone frowning. I sit down next to him "Hey you" I say smiling at him. He looks up "Hey, here are your shoes" and he sets them on the ground next to my stuff. Class start and we are working on notes and stuff. He is acting weird, like he hates me or doesn't know me. I am confused. What happened? I thought we were like, a thing now, or something. " What's wrong?" I whisper still confused. " Nothing. I'm fine" he claims looking back down at his phone, then starts working again. " Jackson" i say lifting up his chin so he can look at me "Obviously something is wrong. I am not stupid. Tell me, what's wrong" he just picks his phone up and shows me a picture. I look at it, and it is a picture of Ben and me hugging after our game. It's on instagram and a few people's snapchats saying that they ship us and stuff. What makes it worse, is that i am half naked. I am only in spandex shorts and a sports bra. I look back at him while he is looking at his phone. "I swear it's nothing. I wouldn't do that. I don't even like him." He just looks at me still with a blank expression. " I saw you guys in gym. Playing basketball. You were hugging him and you were more than half naked, and looked like you were flirting. It's on people's stories to. Shipping you guys and saying you guys are dating." he says quietly and he looks like he is gonna cry. I know he isn't. Now i am pissed. I wouldn't do that. Especially with Berberich, of all people. "I wasn't. I promise. We were playing basketball, obviously, and he was winning. I was actually getting hot too, but i knew that would help distract him from the game, ok? I swear, I would never go out with him. He is too... Well he is Berberich" i say still whispering with a giggle at the end. He smiles and laughs too. " I hugged him because he actually was doing good and he rarely beats me also because it's good sportsmanship. I wouldn't do that, ok? And definitely not with him, especially on you." He still doesn't say anything. But he has a small smirk on his face. "Why did you have to beat him so badly? He beat you before and you never did that. Why was this time different?" I laugh a little now realizing he hasn't heard of our bet. "Me and Ben made a bet Yesterday that, if he beat me in a game of one-on-one i would go to hoco with him. And if i did, i wouldn't. We made this deal because we both thought that nobody was gonna ask me because it was so close, and because he kept asking me. If i didn't win, I wouldn't be able to go with you. I would be going with him, and I didn't want that" I say. I turn back to my seat and whisper "I really want to go with you" just barely loud enough for him to hear. Or so i thought. "I really want to go with you to" he responds. I look at him shocked because i didn't think he heard me. "I just thought that you wanted to go with him, and not me. That last night was like an 'in the moment' kinda thing." I shake my head at him. " I meant everything i was saying about you. I really like you" He smiles again as I start blushing. He laughs at me "you're really cute when you blush" he says. I put on a fake mad face and say "So i'm not normally cute?" he looks at me surprised and i start laughing at him. He looks confused. " i was joking. Lighten up B" i say and he understands what happened now and smiles again. His smile drives me wild. Right now, I just want to kiss him. But i can't. We are at school and not public yet.I wake up the next day happy as ever. I quickly got dressed and did my hair and makeup. I was wearing a black skirt and tank top. I was planning on wearing my black, high-top converse, but i couldn't find them.  I looked everywhere. My phone buzzed and i had gotten a text from Jackson. How did he get my number? I asked myself. I just shrugged it off and read it.
