Love adventure

Bad timing.

I hear a door bell and I go check who it is. Jack is standing in front of me with his backpack. On a Saturday?
"Um hey?" I say in confusion.
"Hey. I know this is weird because of last night but I need help with an assignment I got over the weekend. If I don't get a good grade, I won't pass. And um Sammy told me how good you were and I-I just. Please. I'm sorry for what I said. But its best if we're just friends" he says as he pauses from time to time. He looked helpless and he was just so cute standing there begging for help. How couldn't I help him. I smiled and went inside as he followed me. Then I realized where I lived and how I just let him in. I started blushing but I frowned. We sat down in my room which I shared with my sister.
"I know its not the best place to work at. Its crowed but-" I was cut off by Jack saying,
"We can go to my house. I got my car. I'll wait for you outside" not letting me say yes or no.

I was already ready but took my time to get to the car. Thinking about what I was doing.

We arrived at a house. Better than my apartment. He walks out and I follow and he leads me to his room.

I expected it to be a boring white room with no matching sheets, huge TV and cloths all over the floor.

"Ahh yes. Much cleaner and nicer than my room" I teased. Jack smiled and told me to sit where I wanted. How I loved his smile by now. It made me feel filled with happiness. I barley knew this guy and I didnt know why I felt this way. It had to stop knowing he had a girlfriend. Before I helped him I had to say,
"I'm sorry again. I feel like I keep apologizing for being stupid with my words. I was drunk and well that explains it all." I couldn't help but blush again. He looks at me like what I told him didn't mean a thing.
"I know. I understand. I know you like me and I appreciate you telling me. You weren't sober which I wish you were when you told me so it didn't end up how it did but I'm glad you said something. Most girls flirt and expect me to know." He said without looking away from his assignment.

I got the idea that, that's all he wanted to talk about. I helped him and surprisingly I didn't do all the work. It took about an hour to finish the whole essay. He was smarter than I thought. He sucked with his grammar but he had good ideas for his writing.
"Thank you Red. I really appreciate it. I thought you'd be mad for what I said but youre actually really understanding and I like that. After what you heard about me, you still spoke to me afterwards." Jack leaned in closer and I thought he was going to kiss me. I looked away and nodded. I couldn't let him kiss me. He has a girlfriend.
"Can I get a ride home? My family is out of town" I said still not looking at him.
"In an hour or so. We can't hang out? I barley know you Red" I couldn't agree even more. But I couldn't. He was my only ride though so I agreed.

We spent most of the time watching TV and talking about him and Alisa. We also talked about graduation and how it feels so close. Honestly I was scared to graduate. Soon, all these people will be forgotten and we have to move on.

"Well okay time to take Red home. Thanks for staying to watch TV with me. I hate being alone" I knew that already.
"You're welcome Jack Gilinsky" I said looking at his perfect smile.
"Why do you call me by my full name? Most people call me Jack. Or Gilinsky. Not all at once" little did he know, people did. When someone asked of him, they say his full name in disgust or anger. Or just in annoyance.
"You're names um pretty" I lied. Then felt bad for lying.
"Actually no. Its a nice name but when I first asked who you were my friend said your name in digust and disappointment. I noticed a lot of people do that too. Well now, knowing you, I know you're not all bad. Or a disappointment. I want you're name to be said in a kind way. Most people who speak of you, hardly know you and they speak of you in such a bad way. Its not fair" I then realized how long I've been talking. I look up at Jack and he's shocked from what I just said. He then smiles. A genuine smile. Even better than the other smiles I've seen.
"You are truly amazing Red. Let's get you home" he gets up and puts his hand out so I get up.

I couldn't stop smiling on the way there. He dropped me off and we said goodbye. When I got home I took a shower and just thought of Jacks words. He thinks I'm amazing.
