The Unloved One

Chapter 2

Jessica's POV

It had been two days since Ms.Bennet put us in pairs making me and Nathan partners for half the year.

"I decided putting each of you into pairs might be both helpful and useful for both class projects and peer tutoring" she said, "And it could teach us how to get along, maybe."

She said that because in the last month our school had,had 5 fights and since our school is number one in the state you can imagine.

Nathan actually didn't bother me he actually did his work not like all the other partners I used to have.

"As I was saying.." Ms. Bennet said, "I know we just switched pairs two days ago but i've decided to give you the Charity orginization project,as you know you all need one partner for this so you will be doing this project with your current partner, today we will be planning" she said.

"Well" Nathan said.

"Well" I said.

"So what are we gunna do for the Charity organization project?" he asked.

"I don't know but remember it involves community service" I said.

"Well we could volunteer at the boardwalk...if you want to that is,cuz we have to agree on it" he said.

It sound like a pretty good idea I would get to spend a month at the beach and still help.

"Yeah that's perfect" I said.

"Do you wanna come with me maybe after school to go ask?" He asked me.

"Ummm yeah of course we are doing this together" I told him.

"Ok I'll find you after school your last class is math with Ms.Widow right?"he asked.

"Yeah" I said.

How did he know my last class? Hmmm I have no idea but i'll find out.

After the final bell rang. I got up and walked out to see Nathan already standing there.

"Hey" he said.

"Hi" I responded.

He stood there staring at me all weird.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing you are just really awkward" he laughed.

"Yeah I am actually" I stuck out my tongue at him.

He then copied me and laughed again.

"Lets go" he said.

I followed him to the student parking lot where we came to a stop a black shiny Escelade, it was a gorgeous car.

"Hop in" He said winking at me.

And with that we left.

The drive over was silent except for the random band playing on the radio.

I felt awkward.

I mean I usually don't ever hang out with boys. Not because I don't like them,it's because they don't like me.

Throughout the drive,Nathan kept giving me weird glances which made me question whether or not there was something on my face.

We finally got there.

"So umm where exactly do we go now?" I asked him.

"Customer service" He said and we both walked in that direction.

~Skipping the asking part

"What happened?" I asked.

The owner said he only had time to speak to one of us so he went.

"Well..We got it!" He told me.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah" He said.

And with that I awkwardly hugged him. I could tell he didn't expect it, but he still hugged me back.

"So where are we off to now?" He asked me.

"I don't know" I responded.

"You wanna go to my house? I've got food plus we need to work out a schedule for the project" He told me.

"True, okay lets go" I said.

Truth is,I was nervous. I know it was just for the project but I've never gone to a boy's house so...

We drove to his house in silence. We got there and he opened the door.

"Wait!" He yelled.

"What?" I asked,confused.

What was he yelling about?

"I need your phone number in case you know?" He explained.

"Ohh yeah here let me see your phone, I'll put it in" I told him.

He handed me the phone and I quickly put my number in.

"Thanks" He told me.

"No problem" I smiled.

We went inside and up to his room. (don't think dirty). I told him I liked his room and then we pulled out a piece of paper and started planning. Apparently we were both free on the weekends so we decided to start there.Until then we'd be okay.

The rest of the time we did homework then I got a call from my mom asking me to come home to dinner.

He drove me home.

I ate dinner,telling my parents about my day and then took a shower.

When I got out, I noticed I had a message.

Nathan:Goodnight Jessica

I smiled at the text and tiredly got into bed.
