Love adventure

Car ride.

I got in his car. A small red convertible.

"My dad let me barrow it. Mines at the shop." He says as we get in.

"Look I feel bad for what I said. I just don't like being surrounded by jerks and when I heard my friends saying you were the school jerk, I just freaked." I blabbed out. It seems like I couldn't stop talking.

"Red, stop. Its fine. You're scared of falling for me. Like I said at school, I get it." He says winking again in confidence. His wink gave me goosebumps. The way he looked at me made me feel like he meant every word he spoke to me. Like he was sure he know what I felt.

"Stop saying that. I don't fall for just anyone. I'm not easy you know" i said while looking at the road.

He looks at me and smirks. "I'm not just anyone. I'm the school jerk that every girl wants."

The rest of the ride was awkward. I lied about where I lived and told him to drop me off at the park because my mom was there with the kids. That was a lie. I know I let Sammy see where I lived but it was different with Jack. I felt like I felt something for Jack and I cared too much about what he thought of me.

"You sure theyre there?" Jack said parking, looking for them.

"Yeah. Anyway thanks Jack. Not too much of a jerk I guess."

Jack laughs and but becomes serious and says "see you at homeroom red" as he drives off.

I walk home and its dark. I was use to it. I was use to ghetto neighborhoods and the crazy shit that happened.

I walked in and no ones home. Of course.

"We're at your cousins. Won't be back until tomorrow morning. You can handle it right? Find a ride to school. Love ya"

Great, my mom left me behind and I had no ride to school.

I decided to go on Instagram and direct message Sammy "can you give me a ride to school tomorrow? I'll pay for gas!"

In a few minutes he replies and agrees. It was 9pm by now so I went to sleep thinking of how nice Jack was.

After that ride, I knew I felt something. It was the way he spoke and looked at me. Made my stomach twist.

I woke up earlier than usual and got ready for another day of school. I got a direct message from Sammy "on my way"

I waited outside and I see a nice blue BMW stop in front of me and I see Sammy in the passenger seat.
"Sorry my car wouldn't turn on so I asked Jack".

How could Sammy do that! Now he knows where I live and I'm embarrassed more than ever. I got in and Jack looked back and smiled.

I was too embarrassed to start a conversation.

We made it to school and Sammy ran out to class. Since me and Jack had the same homeroom we walked together.
"How come you didn't let me drop you off at your house? Sam told me you didn't have a ride because your mom wasn't in town?" He said as he stopped walking. I stopped as well and knew we were going to be late.

"I-I umm" I couldn't find the words.

"I know you think I'm a jerk but really I would never judge someone because of where they live. At least you have a home. A family to come home to." He said softly.

"I know. I'm not ungreatful! Just leave me alone. I didn't want you to see because I care about what you think. I care for no reason. I barley know you and I care about what you think about everything! I hate it. I hate that I like you!" I let it out. I finally told him. With only knowing him for a week. I felt like a loser. How could I like him so soon.

"You like the school jerk? Trust me. There's nothing great about him. So do yourself the favor and stop." He looks straight in my eyes and leaves. I show up to homeroom first. Only five minutes late. Jack appears ten minutes late. He sits next to me saying nothing. Those were the worst minutes of my life.
