Outnumbered | Jake Brockman X Reader

He's a zombie

Over the summer holidays, Jake grew up ALOT. Before we went to the annual trip to Spain, he was just a small 12 year old kid but when we got back, he was.. well.. he certainly grew up. It was like he was a whole new person!

Jake wasn't the only think that was different on Keely road.

Next door a new girl- I say girl, she was more of an adult really.. anyway we had new neighbors. Her name was Kelly. I had spoken to her a few times and she seemed quite nice. One time we were walking across the road and I saw Jake standing in the doorway. He looked like a zombie. He stared at us the entire way without blinking. And his mouth was wide open.

Year 9 was definately the year that everybody changed. Some of the other boys in the year had had a massive glow up over the summer. I don't know why, but it's always year nine that we start to look different. Most of the girls had grown.. chests, (that was so awkward to put) me included. This made me even more popular. Not to brag, but I've always been rather popular. I couldn't help it otherwise I wouldn't be. It's not always as cool as they make it look on tv.

Anyway, this means that Daniel Moore is back and is being even worse than ever. I don't like him! Why doesn't he get the picture?

One good thing about this year is that stupid Jo has moved classes. Hey, that's actually a good pair. Jo and Daniel.

"Hi Jake," I said when I saw saw him on the first day back.

"Uh- hi," he said. Great he'd gone back into zombie mode.

"I'll see you later.." I said, going to fund Emily and Rebecca. It's kinda creepy when he acts like that. I wasn't sure why he did it but I'm sure it's nothing. Hopefully he hasn't been possessed or anything.

After school, I avoided going to Jake's house. He was still acting weird when we were walking home so I decided I'd go round another time. Oh, this sounds so childish but his parents like me again. It turns out they thought I was his girlfriend last year and they didn't want us doing .. innapropriate.. stuff.

We were 12. What would we have done?

"Is that you Chelsea?" Mum shouted from the kitchen.

"Whose else would it be?" I yelled back as I ran to my room.

Kimberly POV (this is your mum btw)

"Whose else would it be?" Chelsea yelled back and ran to her room.

I sighed. For a while now she'd been the typical moody teenager. It must have come from the Brockman kid. I didn't hate him, I just didn't like his bad attitude. And the way he turned into a mindless zombie every time he saw my daughter.

It was just hormones and he couldn't control it. I might speak to Sue and see what she's noticed about it.

"Mummy," my seven year old daughter said. "Can we go to the park?"

I sighed again.

"Okay but only for an hour this time,"

I went up and knocked on Chelsea's door.

"What?" She shouted.

"We're going to go to the park for an hour. Don't leave the house and don't open the door for anybody,"

"What am I, a four year old? I know this stuff!"

I sighed a third time.

Chelsea POV

"What am I, a four year old? I know this stuff!" I shouted.

She'd been saying this stuff since I could understand words.

When I heard the door close, I ran downstairs and used the house phone. I did have my mobile but the home phone was much better to use In my opinion.

I dialled Rebecca's number and waited for her to answer. Rebecca told me earlier to ring her because she had something important to tell.

"Hey Chelski," she said when she picked up.

"Hey," I replied. "What was it you wanted to say?"

"Oh.. Yeah this may come as a shock to you but Jake likes you,"

"He wh- huh?" I was so confused. No he doesnt.

"He was staring at you all day like a zombie,"

"Oh no Rebecca, he does that all the time it's nothing special," he couldn't like me... could he? No.

"Y'see!" Ugh.  She didn't understand did she?

"No! He- oh never mind-"

"You'll thank me later at your wedding!" And she hung up.

Okay..

I had never been so flustered after a phone call before.

Did Jake like me? Surely not. He much prefers Kelly to me.. Doesn't he?

A/N I'm sorry it took me so long to write this chapter, it was harder to write because it's not based on an actual episode.

I was planning on this being longer than it was buy for some reason it felt like the right place to stop at

Hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll try to update once a day again :)
