The Misfits

Jake & Gwen

Gwen's P.O.V

1. Going on a date with Jake

2. Trying to decide whether I like Alec or not

3. Trying to decide whether I like Jake or not

4. Trying to decide if I like Jake or Alec better

I'm pretty confused at the moment, after hanging out with Jake in the music room and have him spilling out his life story to me through music and then crying on my shoulder, I've been in love with him. But then there was Alec whom I met during English, he was a really nice guy and he asked me about my interests and everything. We talked for a while and Jake kept on glaring at Alec like he was doing something illegal.

When Jake ran between Alec and I and asked me out right in front of him, it was obvious he was jealous and I sort of felt angry and excited at the same time. I have never been part of any sort of love triangle, I've never had a boyfriend or had sex with anyone in my whole entire life. You've got to admit, having two incredibly hot guys fight over you is kind of amazing, it's always been a fantasy.

So, I was standing outside of Ovalin High after finishing my insane first day of school, waiting for Jake. He walked out of the school with one hand in his pocket and the other clutching the strap of his backpack. His hair was all messy in this super sexy way and he had a crooked smile on his face, his blue eyes sparkled.

My heart began beating a mile a minute inside of my chest as he drew closer and closer. Right when he stopped in front of me, I saw Alec walk off with the girl I saw scribbling inside her notebook all the time. So much for that love triangle I was thinking about. But then again, it's not like I thought the two of us were going to be together or anything. I wasn't even sure of my feelings for him yet, so why did I feel a twinge of jealousy?

No, I couldn't feel that way because this incredibly sexy guy who spilled out his whole life story to me through freaking music was standing in front of me and I was about to go on a date with him. That was pretty amazing. Gwen Rivers going on a date with a bad boy, goody-two-shoes Gwen was going out with a bad boy. No one at my old school would believe it if I told them.

I offered Jake a small smile, I hope it was a sexy small smile and not a shy and embarrassed small smile. But because he smirked a little bit, I knew that it had been the latter.

"So where would you like to go, Gwen Rivers?" He asked me as we walked away from the school together.

"Anywhere you would like to go, Jacob Land." I replied, smiling to myself because of my insanely clever remark.

Jake smiled over at me, a real smile, not some sort of smirk that I had grown so used to. Was this actually going to be a nice date? "Well, I was thinking that we could go to Cafe Japengo." He replied.

I rose my eyebrows. "Isn't that a very expensive restaurant?" I asked.

Jake shrugged, chuckling. "Well, no. It might be a very expensive cafe though. I'm sure that I can handle it, don't worry."

I felt my fingers go tingly and I wrapped my arms around myself. It was starting to get really cloudy, I think that it was going to rain soon. Jake and I continued walking in silence, I didn't know exactly what to say to him. Not too long ago he was crying on my shoulder but he seemed completely fine right now, I wasn't sure if I should mention what happened or not.

"So, your parents are divorced?" He asked.

I jumped and looked over at him. "How did you know that?"

"That's how it sounded in the song you played on your cello." He replied. "The fighting and then it ended really slow... And sad. I understood." He suddenly got real quiet.
