Jakes POV
She pulls her skirt up more and looks back and smirks. I walk fast to get beside her and I throw my arm around her shoulders.

E- motivation?
J- nope just wanted to make sure- you pull your skirt down
E- sure

Before we get in she pulls down her skirt. We walk in and a couple people roam the halls. Erika keeps walking and we get to her locker. She puts her bag in and then shows me to mine. I open mine up and shove my bag in

E- your gonna make it a mess already
J- shh

She smiles at me and I shut it. We walk around

J- you know you've spending a lot of nights with me
E- Jake it's been like 3 or 4 not a whole month
J- I like it I'm not alone. Well I have Archie but he can't talk.
E- do you work tonight
J- yeah
E- well looks like I'm spending the night again
J- not a chance rik
E- why
J- because it's like 3 am by the time I get home
E- if you have to do it I do too

E- well in my mind it does
J- in this world it doesn't
E- you know I'm still gonna show up

E- do you work tomorrow
J- no
E- okay good

I stop us and lightly push Erika in the the wall in the corner

J- why what do you have have in mind *smiles*
E- *smiles*

I kiss her once and we stand there and just talk for 20 minutes. We still have 40 minutes till the bell rings.

?-erika

I turn my head to see a group of people. I turn back to erika

Whispering
J- I'll meet up with you later
E- Jake you can stay
J- no it's fine

I walk off and I go outside. I sit at a bench and look around. After a long time the bell rings and I head inside. I go to my locker and go to my class. I found it pretty fast. I sit near the back and a group of guys sit around me. The one guy from yesterday was here

P- you new?
J- yeah
P- oh shit you were the one with Erika.
J- mhmm
P- im Peter that's Kade and Anthony

He points to them

J- jake

P- why would she do that
J- never mind
P- you play sports
J- no
K-really? your pretty big
J- never had the time
Te- everyone take there homework out from last night.

Everyone starts to move around and I sit there just looking at the clock go by.

Erika's POV
It comes to lunch and I see Jake leaning in his locker. Yeah in his locker.

E- Jake

He looks at me and it looks like he just woke up

E- you didn't sleep last night did you
J- no

I wrap my arms around his torso. His arms go on my high back and he squeezes a little.

E- do you like it so far?
J- i can't believe I'm saying this but I do like it

I look up at him and we both smile. I go on my tippy toes and kiss him.

J- are you hungry
E- not really, are you?
J- no

His chin goes on the top of my head.
A lockers shuts behind him and he turns around quickly and stares. I grab his face and turn it back to mine.

E- why do you always do that?
J- do what?
E- when you hear something you always like tense up and stuff
J- reflexes?
E- it's happened so many times. The knock at the door, the wind and now the locker
J- I'm just making sure nothing happens to you.
E- nothing is gonna happen
J- I just don't want to lose another person
E- I get it jake but just chill

I back away from him and he puts his back on the lockers. I stand in front of him and grab his hands and play with them. He looks me up and down and then he looks down the hallways. He stands up straight and then pulls me closer to him. His hand on the side of my face. He looks around again and grabs my hand and goes outside. He pushes me against the wall and puts his hand in my cheek again. His lips press against mine and I put my hand on his wrist that's up to my face. I put my hand behind him neck and his hand goes to my hip. He moves from my lips to my jaw planting soft kisses.

Whispers
E- Jake

He slows down then he pulls back and looks at me. His lips are bright red and I wipe the spit off of his lips.

J- it cold let's go

He grabs my hand and brings us inside. We walk the through the halls

E- there's a party tomorrow you want to go
J- no it's okay but you can
E- I was only going to go if you went
J- *smiles* lies
E- *smiles* shut up
J- no but actually go
E- maybe
J- it will be fun for you instead of being with the depressed kid
E- your not depressed Jake
J- how would you know
E- because I know how you act when your sad, mad or happy and right now your happy
J- you wanna know why
E- why
J- because of you

Jakes POV
I see Erika blush and put her head down. I put my arm around her shoulders as we walk. I hear footsteps behind us and then a group of people around us girls and guys
