Jack Johnson's POV:
Me and Jack were walking home from school together, shortly into the conversation I asked about this morning at our lockers.
"So about you staring at me this morning, what was that?" I smirk jokingly. He looks down rubbing the back of his neck.
"I- Well I had-" He was cut off again by Isabel calling out from behind us. I roll my eyes to myself.
When she catches up to us she gets in between me and Jack. Wait, she just pushed me.
She pushed my shoulder, making me stumble slightly. Jack didn't notice though.
While walking home we all talked, she cut me off more than a few times. I just couldn't wait to split from them and go home.
I am jealous that she gets to go home with Jack and I can't. I mean, I can just not now because she's there.
Three or four hours after we all got home, Jack text me.
Jack: Hey man I need to ask you something
Me: Shoot
Jack: Ok well Isabel and some of her friends invited me to go out with them tonight and i was wondering if you wanted to come with us?
Me: Definitely
- I smile, he invited me of all people
Jack: Cool ill stop by your place to pick you up later around 8ish
Me: Ok :)
Wow, a night out with Jack. After all those months I wanted to ask him out, he asked me.
I mean it's not like I would actually ask him out. And technically, he didn't ask me out.
He just invited me to hang out with some friends. Good enough for me. I smile to myself as I look for an outfit for tonight.
Eight o'clock comes around fast, it's 7:30. I feel butterflies in my stomach, I don't know why this is just hanging out nothing big.
I don't even know where we're going.
I get a text from Jack,
Jack: Come outside im here :)
Me: Ok be right there
I smile, here we go. I walk outside to see Jack waiting in his car.
"Hey man!" He says as I get in. "Hey thanks for inviting me."
"Oh no problem." He smiles at me.
"So, where are we going?"
"Well first to Isabel's house to pick her up."
"Oh ok." I smile lightly.
We ride around for a few minutes before Jack speaks, "Hey I'm sorry about Isabel."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean how she always interrupts us."
"Oh that's ok she's your girlfriend, I understand that she wants to be around you." I chuckle.
"Well earlier when we were walking home, before she interrupted.. I wanted to talk to you at the lockers."
"What about?" I ask looking over to him.
"You probably think I was staring at you.. I promise I wasn't."
"Oh Jack, you don't have to lie." I wink at him chuckling a bit.
I swear I saw him blush for a second. He's so cute oh my god.
We get to Isabel's house, "Hey can you get in the back?" Jack asks me. "Oh! yeah sure."
I get in the back and Isabel comes outside to get in. "Hey guys." Isabel says putting on her seatbelt.
"Hey you look good." Jack says kissing her on the cheek.
"So where are we going?" I ask again.
"To a restaurant I think it's called Firebirds." Jack says.
"Oh I love-"
"I hear their food is really good!" Isabel says talking over me.
I sit back ignoring it and not talking.
Throughout the night Isabel and her friends keep talking over me every time I have something to say about a subject.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom, we can leave after that." Jack says getting up from the table.
Isabel leans over the table to me, checking if Jack is gone. "So why are you here?" She asks smiling a pleasant smile, acting nice.
"Because Jack invited me here." I say a little angry.
"Well as you can see we don't want you here." She says leaning back.
I don't reply I sit quietly until Jack gets back. I can't wait for this night to be over.
