The Beautiful and The Frightening

chapter 4 : dream a little dream of me

After talking to Mrs.Bishop I felt really confused . The lady knew what was going on with her daughter but she wouldn't tell me until she sees me in person?! how come I feel that this has something to do with me , with our secret ,with...with him.

lost in my own thoughts I didn't notice that someone was banging on my door until I heard a loud thud coming from the other side of my newly painted door . " Are you dead in there???!!!!!" I heard Jacob yell from outside. I sighed and got off my bed and headed to unlock the door .

" what on earth were you doing??!!! if you were trying to give me a heart attack then congarts you achieved your goal!" I was able to see concern behind that mask of scarcasm on his face . and for a split second I actually sympethised with him.

" I am sorry . I was listening to loud music and I couldn't hear you" I lied to him , but I don't know why he didn't buy it

" you really think that I would believe that?!" he said scarcasm dripping from his tongue " I thought you knew that I know you well enough to tell when you are not okay" Jake said his words while he looked at me straight in the eye , he held my shoulders and leaned forward making it harder to avoid his hazel eyes . I couldn't move an inch , I had this weakness in my knees and he knew that I had it ,too because the next thing he said made me want to punch him straight in the face .

" Ha!!!! oh my god you should have seen your face turning as red as a ripe strawberry !! who knew that little Saya had a crush on moi!!" he said between laughs as he arched his head back and started snoring with laughter.

I pursed my lips and kicked him right in the knee for being such an idiot. I would never fall for such jerk! ever!!

Jacob yalped in pain and shot me daggers with his eyes . and I raised my eyebrow in challenge and said " that should show you how much I love you JERK!! ".

I started walking back towards my room when pain shot through my head.. that bastard was pulling my hair!! " ya!! let go !! Jacob that hurts!!!" I was a strong girl physicaly and I was able to handle pain anywhere in my body but I just couldn't when it came to my hair.

Jacob felt the honesty in my voice so he let go and turned on his feet towards the living room without saying a word . that sure was weird!

Jacob and I ignored each other for the rest of the afternoon . After the sun has set I felt hungry .so I walked from my room through the hallway that was decorated by chinese vases that my dear mother liked to collect . I just thought they were ugly. as I entered the kitchen , an inviting aroma filled my nose , Jacob was standing by the stove frying some chicken nuggets, he was humming some song and didn't seem to notice me standing behind him . Then I recognized the song .. it was mr.simple by super junior . Jacob suddenly noticed my movement behind him and turned to face me . he looked at the floor for a couple of seconds . " listen , I ..am sorry for pulling your hair..I know I wouldn't like it if someone pulled my hair ,too" he blurted out in rush . he was probably embaressed for apologizing , you see, Jake and I fought a lot and we never apologize to each other , we just let it go.

" apology accepted..and I am sorry too ..you know.. for kicking you" I said quietly , hey , if he apologized then I don't want to be the evil guy (in this case girl) here.

" So I heard that you have a soft spot for chicken nuggets ,huh? well grab a seat , dinner will be ready in a couple of minutes" he asked adverting his gaze to the golden hearts and stars on the frying pan.

" umm.. yeah ..I guess" I just didn't understand what has suddenly happened to his attitude , he was now acting too strange for my liking.

I narrowed my eyes at him for a while until he noticed that I was still behind him . " what! I am just trying to make up for my mistake!! is that a crime?!" Jacob exclaimed.
