Resistance (Jack Gilinsky)

Chapter 2

When I got home, Allison wasn't home so I went upstairs and did my homework. I heard the front door open, so I went to the top of the stairs to see who it was. 

"Hey Mack" Allison said as she walked in the door. 

"Hey Ally, can you help me with some of my homework?" I asked her as she came up the stairs. 

"Sure, we probably have the same stuff" She said as we walked into my room and sat down at my desk. We started working on math homework because it always took the longest. I was solving an equation when the doorbell rang. "No one rings the doorbell, they just walk in" I thought to myself. I ran downstairs and opened to door. Jack Gilinsky was standing on the other side. 

"Hi" He said to me with a smirk. 

"Bye" I said as I slammed the door in his face. Allison walked up beside me and started giggling. 

"That was harsh" She said, laughing. The doorbell rang again and Allison opened the door. 

"Hi, Jack, would you like to come in" she said. I shot her a glare then our mom came in from the garage. This day couldn't get any more awkward.

"Who is this Mack?" She asked me with a grin.

"Jack" I said. 

"Well, Jack, would you like to stay for dinner, we are having spaghetti?"

"Jack looked at me with a sly grin "I would love to, thank you Ms. Fritz" he said as I glared at him. 

"Jack, can you help us with our homework" Allison asked him. Can they not catch the hints that I don't like him?!

"Sure" he said, following Allison up the stairs. I went after them and grabbed my books from on the desk and sat on my bed. Allison came in with a chair and sat it down by my desk. She sat down in one of the chairs and Gilinsky sat in the other. The whole time we were doing our homework, Allison kept flirting with him and he kept ignoring it. It finally hit me that Allison liked Jack.

"Holy shit" I accidentally said out loud. They turned around and looked at me. 

"Are you okay" Allison asked me.

"Yeah, but we need to talk about something later" I said with a laugh. 

"Uhm okay" she said, turning around and flirting with Jack. I caught Jack staring at me a few times and when I looked at him weird, he would wink at me or lick his lips.

When I finnished with my homework, I put all of my stuff away and quickly went downstairs to help my mom with dinner. 

"Mackenzie Grace Fritz, why aren't you up there with your friend?" She asked. 

"He is Allison's friend, not mine, actually I can't stand him" I replied truthfully. She looked at me and shrugged. 

"I guess that's a good reason" she said with a laugh "now go set the table"

I laughed "Okay, how many people?" I asked her. 

"Me, you, Ally, Jack " She said "and Dave" she said the last part quietly.

"Who is Dave" I asked her.

"Just a friend" She assured me. I nodded and started to set the table.

Jack sat in between Allison and I, she seemed to be really happy for some reason. 

"So, Dave, how did you meet my mom?" I asked. Suddenly I felt Jack's hand touch my thigh. He kept moving it up my leg until I smacked it away. He let out a quiet laugh and Allison looked at him, questioningly. 

"Through a friend" He answered confindently. He seemed okay, I mean, he isn't weird or anything, so that's a good sign. 

After dinner, Dave and my mom did the dishes while Allison, Jack and I went upstairs. I went in my room, while Allison and Jack went to her room. I wasn't concerned as to what she planned on doing with him because it's her life, not mine. I sat down on my bed and started shopping online while listening to music on 8tracks. 

There was a knock on my door, so I got up and answered it. 

"My bag is in here" Jack said. I stepped back and opened the door more, so that he could walk in and grab his bag. 

"Close the door behind you" I said as I turned around and made my way to my bed. I felt a pair of hands grab my waist and pull me closer. 

"I know you saw me staring at you all night" Jack whispers in my ear. I squirm out of his grip and give him a disgusted look. He smirked and walked closer to me. I backed myself into the wall, I had no where to go. "Yeah, it was weird" I replied to him. 

"I know you feel it too" He said to me as he came up to me, his face just inches from mine. 

"Feel what?" I challenged. 

"It's different this year, I know you feel something for me now" He said. I pushed him off of me. 

"Yeah, you wish" I said as Allison walked in. 

"Jack, it's like 8:30, you should probably get home" She said. And, with that, he left.
