Perspectives (A Jack Gilinsky Fanfiction)

Chapter 4. Gilinsky residence

After school was over I tried my hardest to rush down the hallway to my locker, so I could go home without bumping into Jack, because if I did he would make me go home with him to do the supposed homework. After a lot of running through the school, I finally got to my locker, opened it and put my books in it. But offcourse, when I closed it, I saw a familiar face.

"Hey Kendra" Jack said and leaned into my locker.

Damn it. He was fast.

"Hello. What is it?" 

I said with a monotonous voice and tried my best not to look at him. He just smiled and grabbed his chemistry book from his bag.

"Remember this? We have an assignment to finish."

he said and pointed at it. I just rolled my eyes, and realized there was absolutely no point in trying to avoid him, because I'd never win against him. I started walking towards the exit when he started half-running besides me. 

"Why are you in such a rush? You have to come home with me to do this assignment some day anyways"

he said while trying to stop me. When we got to the parking lot, I saw Jackson, my best friend walking towards me. I was thinking of driving in my own car to Jack's place, but the first thing Jackson asked me when he came over to me was

"Hey, Kendra, mind if I borrow your car for just a few hours? I need to drive my sister to psychiatry lessons."

I couldn't say no to that. His sister had tried to kill herself this summer, and I couldn't say no, because I knew how important it was. 

"Fine" 

I said and gave him my car keys.

"But bring my baby home safe, or else" 

I said as he smiled at me and opened my car. 

"Thanks Kendra" 

he yelled as he drove off. Now, my only option was to ride with Jack. He opened his car and sat in. I just stood there for a while, trying to find any excuse not to come. But I was blank. I had nothing. He rolled down the window and winked at me.

"You coming princess?"

he said and put on the radio while he waited for me. I just decided, screw it, and went to the passenger seat and sat down.

"Atta girl" 

Jack said and started the car. The radio was playing Summer by Calvin Harris and for a second there I enjoyed myself. Not because I was sitting in the car with Jack, but because everything seemed so relaxed. And then, Jack broke the silence.

"You are beautiful" 

Jack looked at me like a puppy looks at food. But I didn't believe him. How could I believe him after what happened last year?

"Yeah, haha, funny Jack"

That was literally all I could say. I didn't want him to talk. But I didn't want him to stop talking either, so I was kind of stuck in the middle there.

"No, seriously, Kendra. You are so beautiful"

Why couldn't he just shut up and drive? 

"Okay, Jack. This is not a heart to heart conversation, okay? This is strictly a school assignment. This does absolutely not mean anything. Got it?"

He turned his eyes away from me and smiled to himself. God, his smile was so beautiful. No, what am I saying? Oh my god.

"I love it when you talk bossy to me"
