Chpt. 6 ~ I Want Answers.

Amber's P.O.V ~ 

I sit in my bed after school, still wondering what happened during lunch. 

  He seemed colder than normal and that is hard to beat. I want to know what is going on in his head. I want to know what makes him act like the way he does. That or does he does act out because he can? 

   I decided to take it to me and my friends' group chat to figure out how to get to the bottom of it. All they are worried about is that may or may not have a crush on Jake. Which is a little bit irritating. So, I can not only get answers from my friends but, I also can't get answers from Jake. Fucking great.  

With that, I decided to give up for the night, and head to bed. 

  I actually wake up an hour before I was supposed to get up. So, I took the liberty of straightening my hair and applying a little bit of makeup. My wardrobe actually matches today. I feel put together. I even have 15 minutes to spare. 

"Oh, Amber. Goodmorning!" My mom chirps. 

I hate how she is a morning person. 

*honk honk* 

"I am glad I don't have to yell for you this morning." She says with sass 

 "Yea yea," I say rolling my eyes.

"Bye mom, I love you," I call out shutting the door behind me. 

I get in the car with a smile on my face. My friends look at me with there jaw on the floor. 

"Look at you!" Adaline says in ahh 

"Let's head to school," I chuckle. 

We arrive at school and the one and only Samantha Fox is standing in our parking spot. My friends look at me. I know that look. They want me to say something. I think, no I actually know I am the only one who has balls in this friend group. 

"What do you want?" I say rudely as I get out of the car

"I don't get why MY Jakey does these kinds of things for a girl like YOU." She put emphasis on my and you. 

"What the hell are you talking about?" I said pulling her to the side so my friends could pull in. 

"I heard, MY Jakey went around basically beating up people to delete that slutty video of you." She sneered. 

I stood there with my mouth hanging open. That's what he meant. 

"I thought the video was kind of funny. Actually, really funny." she giggled 

"Shut up. For once." She gasped. I signaled Adaline and Luna to come on so we wouldn't be late.

   I am looking forward to World History. I am going to get some answers from Jake because at this point I am beyond confused. Of course, since I am looking forward to seeing him, which sounds weird saying. My class periods are dragging by. I hate it. 

*bell rings*

Finally!

  I walk slowly to World History, in a way trying to figure out what I am going to say. I am overthinking it, I shouldn't be but I am nervous. I hear that Jake is already in the class with his best friend, Nick fucking Kingston. I take a deep breath and head straight for his desk. 

" I. Want. Answers." I say rudely poking his chest.

"what the hell are you talking about?" He says rolling his eyes. 

"Samanta told me, Jake. There is no use in dodging the question." I say with a tone.

  He grabs my wrist and starts dragging me out of the class. His grip is tight, to the point where I can't get out of it. People start whispering as we exit the classroom.

"ooh put a sock in it." Jake sneers at the class. They fell silent.

"Where are you two going?" Mr.Lopes calls out but, he keeps pulling me.

"Jake let go! NOW!" I basically shout. He stops in his tracks. 

"You know what Jacobs? I don't fucking get you." He says inching closer to my face

  "You get pissed at me for the smallest reasons. You slammed the door in my face when I came to check on you about the whole video going around. And then on top of that, I went around the school making sure people would delete it. But for some reason, you still have a reason to be mad at me. I don't get it." He says now an inch away from my face. I feel the heat from his anger radiate off of him. 

"B-because you k-kissed Sam-mantha." I stutter softly 

"A-and you f-fucked her-r," I add. 

We were both silent, still standing there. Both of us waiting for a reaction. 

"She lied about us 'fucking' and she forced herself on me." He said softly yet comforting.

I gulp. "Oh -" 

  He grabs me by my face and pulls my lips onto his. He presses my back onto the locker behind me. He then guides his hand down into the arch of my back, resting his other hand against the locker. Our lips interlock and we both fight for dominance. I let him take control. My heart is beating faster than my brain can even register. 

 He kisses me like he is hungry. But, somehow he is gentle at the same time. His lips are soft and a little wet from us kissing. He twirls his tongue around mine. He finally pulls away from the kissing. We both sit there basically gasping for air. His pattern of breathing is ragged, I am sure mine is as well. We sit there trying to wrap our heads around what just happened. 

He stands up straight. Composes himself. 

Jake pulls my forehead to his soft lips. Plants one last kiss.

He looked down at me. 

Walks away. 

I send a message to the group chat.

'SOS. LEAVE CLASS NOW. MEET IN PARKING LOT.'

*15 Minutes Later* 

Adaline and Luna run up to panting and buckled over.

"What happened?" Adaline gasped for air

"Jake and I kissed," I said still kind of surprised about what happened.
