Love adventure

Numb.

The school was getting ready to go into Christmas break and I was relieved. I hadn't spoken to Jack or Sammy. I didn't need the drama. I was upset with what happened and I couldn't handle just being Jacks friend. When I look at him, I feel nervous but I like it. I like the feeling he gives me. The world stops and he's all I see. I look stupid sometimes when he catches me staring in homeroom. He was just so attractive. I didn't understand why people called him the school jerk. Yeah he ignored people and has been in many relationships but that doesn't mean he's jerk.

I found myself defending him a lot. I was mad at myself not him. It wasn't his fault he doesnt like me how I like him. I still haven't figured out why I like him so much.

It was Friday and the last day until winter break. We would only have homeroom today to get our grades and go home.

I was sitting down with Sussy and Amy talking about how we wanted to go to six flags over the break. I haven't done anything like that and I was sure I couldn't afford it but I wanted to do something over the break for once. It was my senior year and I know I want it to be fun.

"Red? Can I talk to you?" I hear Jack say from behind me. I jumped because I didn't even know he was here today. I was nervous and didn't know what to do. I got up and followed him outside of class to talk. I wondered what he wanted. A lot of thoughts went through my head. I didn't know what to think.

"I spent these two weeks trying not to talk to you and its been hard. I don't know why because we never spoke much  but I missed you. I can't figure out why..." he paused and I didn't know if he wanted me to say anything but I couldn't. I examined his face and he looked sad. I couldn't stand it. We both thought the same. We hardly knew each other and I missed him. I looked away because I didn't want him to see me staring.
"I don't know if it was because you told me you liked me. I couldn't forget the things you said. How I wasn't just anybody. Most people don't know me and judge me for the things I've done but you... You. Umm you gave me a chance. You apologized for being rude to me and most people wouldn't. Why do you like me? I will never know but you do and it makes me feel a certain way" he frowned and looked away. Before I could say anything, he went on,
"Sorry I'm stupid. This is stupid. I over thought things and now I sound stupid. I'm sorry Red" he walked away before I could say anything.
