Bikinis and Babes

The suspense is killin me

Jacob's pov.

One week. That's it. School will be over.

Ava hasn't called in a while and I'm starting to worry a bit. I'm not sure why but I am. I miss hearing her voice. School has been sucky and it makes my life boring without her. I'm waiting for my tests results for my college applications. I'm nervous. Really nervous. What if I have to fly somewhere else and leave my home. I hope I get Stanford. Then I won't have to move away.

I hope Ava gets Stanford. I doubt she will. There's a really small chance anyways. But I can still hope right? I wonder how life's been for her in London. I know she has some knew friends. There's....Lucille, Adam, Parker, and a few other but their names aren't coming to mind right now.

I lay on my bed with my phone in front of me trying to figure out if I should call her. Should I? Does she wanna talk to me? Maybe she's busy? She could even be asleep? "Just do it Jacob," I heard Aiden say from my doorway. I looked back and frowned at Aiden. "It's not that easy." "Whatever you say." He walked over to my desk and sat down waiting patiently. "Fine. I'll do it," I muttered. I picked up the phone slowly dialing her number.

"Hello?," said the familiar voice. She sounded happy but slightly nervous. "Hey Ava. It's Jacob. I was just wondering how you were doing. We haven't talked in a while." Oh gosh I'm probably babbling right now. "Oh yeah. Thanks. Just a lot on my plate right now," she sighed into the phone. "Like what? I'll listen if you want me to," I shrugged and propped myself up on the bed.

"Well you see....Parker likes me. A lot. And I like him too but I.....really really really like you. Oh who am I kidding? I'm pretty sure I love you but whatever. I wanna stay but I wanna go. I'm hoping I can get into Stanford and come home but at the same time I want to stay here in London and possibly go to a college here. It'd be great if I go to Cambridge. I don't know anymore Jacob. I really miss you and my stress is taking over along with hormones." I nodded in understanding and waited to see if she would continue. She did.

"Do you know when you get your results back?" "It's supposed to be today or tomorrow. I'm really nervous,"I replied. I looked over at Aiden who was listening intently to out conversation. "Go away," I shooed my hand at him. "What?," Ava asked. Aiden stuck out his tongue and stood up, exiting my room. "No sorry that was....uh....." "It was Aiden wasn't it?" "Yeah," I frowned a bit remembering past events. There was an awkward silence over the phone when Ava spoke.

"I'm supposed to get them back today or tomorrow also. What college or university are you hoping for?" I scrtached my head hoping that my answer wouldn't sound too slefish. "I'm hoping for Stanford so I don't have to leave home. I'm also hoping you get Stanford also so you can come back home." I heard her laugh and some clashing noises. "You ok?" "Yeah I'm fine. Parker is attempting to bake cookies with my mom,"she said as her voice turned into more giggles. She sounded cute. I heard someyelling in the backround. "PARKER YOU'LL BURN THEM! TURN OFF THE OVEN!" It was Ava's mom for sure. I chuckled to myself and decided that I'd better go.

'Well I'll talk to you later. Tomorrow?"

"Yeah. I'll call you tomorrow and we'll tell each other our tests results," she responded in excitement. "Yup. Bye Ava." "Bye Jakey," she cooed over the phone. I laughed and hung up leaning on the back of my bed.

I really hope I get accpeted to Stanford.

=========

Ava's pov.

I ran downstairs, well more like tripped downstairs, to help mom and Parker with the baking. There was smoke everywhere and the alarm was going off. I grabbed a stool and broom to switch it off. "What did you do?!," I screeeched at both of them as they scrambled to keep the house from burning down. "Blame Parker," My mom sneered in a childish way. "Me!? You wanted my help!," he yelled back.
