Entry #1
I saw him today.
I was walking by to go to my next class and he was there. Walking down the hall looking all gorgeous and laughing while socializing with his numerous amount of friends.
"Hey Aquilla," he said to me.
"H-hey Jacob" I stuttered. Nice.
"How was your day today?" He asked smiling at me.
I'm the only person he actually lets call him Jacob. He really doesn't like his real name. He gets really upset when people besides me call him Jacob.
~FLASHBACK~
I was walking to class, late as usual. Its hard to hear the bell ring from my usual lunch spot. the third bathroom stall. The halls were empty and deserted. As I turned the corner to get to my 3rd period class, I heard something. Me being the stupid girl that I was, I went towards it. There I saw Jacob pinning some kid into the lockers. Jacob seemed to be whispering something to him and by the look on his face, it looked likes threat. I've never seen Jacob so mad. He didn't look like himself. His eyes were black and he had the most menacing glare on his face.
"Aye Jacob, I'm-" the kid tried to say before Jacob cut him off.
"Dont you EVER in your God forsaken life," Jacob said slamming the kid into the lockers. "Call me 'Jacob'. Got that? My name is PRINCETON or Prince.."
"Well Prince I'm-"
"IF you're lucky," Jacob growled. Yeah I've witnessed that before. He only lets his friends call him Prince. I stood there watching this encounter and not being able to watch it any more, i turned to go to class. but me being the klutz that I was, I tripped over the garbage can in the hallway. I instantly looked back with frightened eyes to see if they saw me. When my eyes focused, both of them were staring at me. Great job dummy. I looked at the helpless guys face and he stared at me in horror with a slight look of wonder on his face. And Jacob, he just stared at me showing no emotion. Then his face contorted in to a face of anger and pain? He got off of the poor guy and pointed in his face.
"Don't make that mistake again. Do I make myself clear?"
"Cry-crystal clear," the boy stuttered. Jacob looked at me for a long second with a look of sorrow mixed with regret. Then he turned around and strutted out of the glass doors....
~FLASHBACK OVER~
"Pretty good, well as good as it could be...- umm just forget I said that"
"Wait- what did you say?" He asked looking at me.
"Umm.. nothing it's- it's fine,"
"No Aquilla, TELL me." I glanced around me into the busy hallways then looked back up at him.
"... Come with me," Jacob eventually said.
"But we'll be late and-" I tried saying before he cut me off.
"Either you tell me right here right now," Jacob said looking me deeply in the eyes.
"Or we can skip calculus." His piercing eyes made me give in.
"Ok," I nodded relenting into his request.
Jacob led me out to the field and onto the bleachers. We sat in silence for a while and it gave me time to think. This is crazy. Here I am sitting here with Jacob Perez. THE Jacob Perez. The star on the basketball, football, soccer, and lacrosse teams as well as a star on the stage. Yeah he acts and sings and he pretty darn good at it. Oh and he's an academic scholar. He's perfect. And here he is sitting with me in comfortable silence.
"I'm ready whenever you are," Jacob announced mot even bothering to turn his head a little while later. I hesitated at first but then I decided to do it. I glanced at him and studied him. He was looking forward with his legs crossed on the bleacher in front of us, and he was leaning back on his elbows on the bleacher behind us. He looked peaceful and content.
"So Aquilla," he started while sitting up ad turning his body so that his chest was facing me. My head immediately snapped up.
"What-," he paused while sighing.
"What were you talking about?"
I looked at him. He had a look of genuine interest and concern. I felt as though it that moment I could trust him with my life. So in that moment, I did. I fell of the huge cliff and hoped he would catch me. Instead of actually jumping, I did what would be an equivalent. I opened my mouth and I began to speak....
