i woke up, and the first thing that came to my mind was ...food. I was so caught up in Emma ;ast night that i couldnt even eat, wait... Emma. that reminds me, i'm goin back to play ball with Aaron today.

i have to play good seeing as Emma will be there and she can shoot! and the last thing i want to do is embarras myself in front of her.

~i slipped my walked to my closet and grabbed my favorite blue nike basketball shorts and put on my shoes. .... i'm not worried about a shirt, i'll just take this one off if i need to haha~

i grabbed the keys and walked out the door. As i walked down the side walk, i looked at my phone and realised that it was only 9:32, on a saturday..... Aaron most likely isn't up right now, but i can atleast go bye and see...... if he's not there, i can just stop by the pizzeria and grab a bite to eat.

~i got in my car and slowly pulled out of the drive way. this is gonna be a good day. i thought to myself.

as i pulled down her road, my stomach started to turn... what if they tell me to leave, what if they aren't awake and i did this all for nothing...

to pass the time, i turned on the radio and the song, 'somethin bout a truck' came on ..... i sang what parts i knew and then mouthed the rest of the lyrics , but this didn't last long, because i soon got to the turn before her house.

i slowed down to turn into the driveway and i felt my pulse speed up...... Emma was outside and guess what else, she was shooting basketball.

was this really happening? i think i just stopped breathing.... the best ball player, coolest guy in school, the guy all the girls want, is at MY house, the new girl's house.... this is crazy

i like him and i hope he likes me, but i dont know what to do... i wish Aaron would hurry up and wake up

He pulled up and cut the car off, and stepped out slowly. "hey, how are you?" jake said casually, as though we were in front of adults or something

i turned to him with a serious yet confused look, and he just smiled at me with his gorgeous, perfecty white teeth.

"i take that as..... wonderfulllllll!" he said spreading his hands through the air like a rainbow, laughing

i shot the basketball and made it as he slowly walked toward the goal. "what are you doing here?" i asked acting as though i was still mad about the joke he did. 

"come on Emma, im sorry about the joke....i just ..."

"just what jake?, just wanted to make fun of the new girl? just wanted to embarras her?, make her feel like she has no chance???"

"no, i... wait what?" he said smiling....opps, did i say chance? that just slipped out :o..

he walked over to me and grabbed the basketball, we both stared down at the ball because at that very moment his warm hands were placced ontop of mine. and neither one of us where letting go..

he looked intensely into my eyes and right then i fell for him .... fell hard, he placed his head against mine with our noses almost touching and leaned his face beside my cheak.....(here goes the first kiss i thought) , as he lightly whispered, "the only thing you DON'T have a chance in is beating me in basketball." and he pulled away with the basketball in his hands and made the first shot...

the first shot of a long game of around the world.

~the ball bounced back and forth and back and forth from me to him. how could i think he was going to kiss me? ugh, im so stupid but atleast we are having fun hanging out...~
