My Very Own Love Story (a high school romance) (on hold)

Chapter 13 part B

Chapter 13 Part B

After we devised the plan we went to bed because it was about ten at night and we had to get up at six. When we woke up her parents we already gone to their jobs and her dog was thank god outside. I definitely didn’t need another bath today. Our plan was pretty simple. We saw the bus coming down her road (she lived at the beginning of it) and we let it pass. Five minutes later it came back around, but this time Jacob was on it. We went outside waited for it to stop. As soon as the doors slid open we walked on. He looked somewhat surprised but he quickly rearranged his features and smiled at us. We were about halfway down the aisle when he moved into the seat we always fight over.

“I don’t want you two to fight over who gets the seat so I’ll just sit in it today.” He said smiling at us.

“Oh thats not necessary, we can work it out.” She replied to him.

“No it’s fine, I really don’t mind. I like to help.” He insisted.

At this point in time the bus was still stopped and everyone was looking back. I wanted the seat so I passed Victoria and grabbed Jacob’s shirt. I then pulled him out of the seat and surprised at my strength he fell backwards into his seat. The whole bus was laughing and he still sat there in shock. I then let Victoria sit down and then I sat down with her. If he was shocked before, he was even more shocked now. We headed to school smiling at our accomplishment and listening to Popular again.

Once we got to school I stopped by my locker and put my stuff away. I saw John walking by and ran to give him a hug.

“Its fine.” He told me looking down, gosh I hate being so short! He’s almost 6’ 1” and I’m not even 5’ 2”.

“So okay heres the serious question now. Did you ask me out because of the pressure, or because you actually wanted to?” I asked feeling my face heat up. Usually I’m really bad at eye contact, but this time I actually managed it.

 After about a minute he spoke. “Both I guess. I really wanted to ask you out, but in my own time.”

“Okay thanks for telling me, well I gotta go now, so I’ll see you around? Since it was an orange day and also friday, I wouldn’t be able to sit with him at lunch today or the rest of this week (obviously).

School kinda whizzed by and then I went home. I went to my neighbors and sat down on an area where I could get internet. I got on skype and Kassidy called. I spent awhile talking to her and wrote John telling him that I would skype him when I was done. He agreed and I continued with Kassidy. About ten minutes later my neighbors/cousin and his fiancee drove down the road and stopped.

“Hey we are going to Burger King, then Walmart. Do you want to come? You can spend the night after if you want.” His fiancee Susan told me.

I was surprised because this was the first time since they thought I was the one stealing their cigarettes that they invited me to go someplace with them. I agreed because I was starving. I ended my call with Kassidy and then quickly called John to say hat I wouldn’t be able to talk with him tonight because I was leaving and then spending the night with my cousin. I was getting in the car and still on call with him when my sister saw him.

“HE’S HOT! THATS MY BOYFRIEND!” She practically yelled.

I was completely embarrassed and quickly shut my laptop. After that we began our journey to Burger King. We walked in and ordered our food. I had a large fry, a four piece chicken nugget, and a medium soda. I went to sit down and saw my cousin had pulled over a high chair for their baby. He offered me the bib jokingly, but I took it anyways because it looked cool. I then had my sister get me a crown and put that on too. Everyone that came in looked over at me questioningly but never said anything. After I finished my food we went to Walmart and picked out some stuff for breakfast and snacks for the next day. I got some banana chips and then we headed back to their house. After awhile they called me to the other side of the house (its like a duplex but no one lives on the other side currently). When I got over there they shut the door and apologized for the whole cigarette thing. I said it was no big deal and then they offered me one. I hadn’t had a full one in a while, since August really, and it was November now. I took it and lit it up. I felt a little guilty because I had told my friends that I had quit, but I don’t know what happened, I guess the power of pain took over. I don’t know if you’ve ever smoked but if you take a big drag, and then breathe in some air, there is a slight burning feeling. I know its bad but it gives the feeling of pain, without people ever being able to see the wounds. I took a drag that would usually be small for me and ended up getting really dizzy and not being able to fully breathe for about two minutes. It kept happening but I didn’t care, I wanted to try and feel that pain again. When that one was out I refused another. I went back in and watched CSI season 10 with my sister thankful she didn’t know what had just happened I would do anything and everything I could to make sure she never tried anything that could hurt her. Eventually she went to bed and I snuck back out and we had another. After I finished it I went back in to watch a movie and fell asleep at the end.

The next day I ended up going to my grams so I could skype some more with John We were having fun skyping each other and then eventually I IMed my big sister on facebook. It was my mom who wrote back telling me that she wanted me to write her on hers. I had to re-add my mom and then she asked what I was doing. I told her skyping John  and she asked if he was my boyfriend. I told her it was complicated. After that I decided to ask him what was going on. He said he didn’t know and then asked me what I wanted to call him. I told him I wanted to be with him, but I understood that there were some complications. One being the age thing, but we eventually decided it wasn’t that bad, only about a year and four months. The second issue was his sister. Last year she told the principle that I had called her a gothic slut, which I hadn’t. So now she hated me, but luckily for me we worked through that issue too. Finally working through all our issues he asked me out and I said yes. I spent a little while longer skyping him then he went to bed because he had to go someplace the next day. I went to bed too and couldn’t wait till monday. Sunday I had to head to home because my dad was leaving for the night and I needed to watch my sister. I had nothing to do and it was pretty boring. After awhile I just ended up sleeping through it.
