I Knew You Were Trouble
Chapter 15
I hate Monday’s. I mean who doesn’t?
It just means that the weekend is over and I have to go back school. To make things even worse we had to start a project in English with partners. I had no one to choose from. Jack wasn’t in here, neither was my brother, or Cassadee. Holly was. So instead of getting up and picking a partner like everyone else had, I sat at my desk and doodled in my notebook. I’d rather work alone anyways. “Hey” said a quiet voice. I look up and see the last person I expected to want to be partners with me. “Hi” I mumbled. I moved my books from the seat next to me and she sat down looking over the paper that was handed out. “This should be easy” I said, “You do the second half, and I’ll do the first”. She only nodded her head in agreement. It was an in class project with an estimated work time of maybe three class periods. If I do a lot of it during the study hall I have with Jack then this could get done faster. The faster this gets done the less I have to work with Holly. I share the thought with Holly, but she didn’t say anything. I took her silence as a yes and continued with the project. All we had to do was write an essay about Shakespeare and two different plays. The first one had a little more research to it and the second one was easy enough for someone who doesn’t like work. “Elaina” Holly whispered. “Yeah”
“Can we not be enemies?”
She sounded like she really didn’t want to be on each other’s bad sides.
“Sure”
“I really don’t want to fight, and I’m sorry about the whole thing with Jack. It was stupid and I was jealous.”
“Apology accepted. I’m sorry about the punch bowl. It was kind of my fault, and I didn’t do that to make you break up with Jack.”
“I understand. I think you guys would make a great couple anyways” she looked up and smiled.
“Thanks”
After that we went back to our work. Before the class ended we promised to text each other later.
~Friday (After School) ~
I am freaking out. I don’t know where we’re going, and I have no clue what to wear. Kaitlin is going through my closet while I’m spazzing out in the corner. Holly texted saying the first date isn’t going to be to a fancy restaurant. She also said don’t go too casual. So what am I supposed to wear? I then decided asking Jack.
His reply: clothing.
“Here” Kaitlin said throwing articles of clothing at me. Purple pants, a long sleeved shirt, and a grey hoodie. Gee, if only I had thought of that. An hour later I could hear Jack pulling into the driveway. I raced down the stairs shouting a bye to my dad, and escaping out the door. “Hi” we said at the same time. He was walking to my door as I was rushing out of it. “Let’s go” I said as we both turned towards the car, and got in.
On the way to wherever the heck he was taking me, we talked about anything and everything. From blink to gorillas, or Sasquatch to dinosaurs. We talked about everything. The time passed quickly and soon enough we were there. At a beach in the middle of spring while there’s still snow on the ground.”What are we doing here?” I couldn’t help, but ask. “Well I thought even though we can’t go in the water maybe we could build a sandcastle” he said while holding up a tiny shovel and pail. I laughed then grabbed the shovel, getting down on my knees and started to dig. This should be fun.
In the end we had a nice sand castle looking thing. Yeah, that. Well let’s just say neither of us had the patience to actually fill the bucket with sand, add water and wait for the castle part to form. So we used our hands and made these small sand hills and called it a castle. We were pretty proud of it if I do say so myself. Then we wrote our name in the sand with a stick. Jack, being the sap that he is drew a heart around our names. I would have done the same thing. We were looking at our names in the sand until he turned and looked at me. It was intense and deep how we looked into each other’s eyes. Then he did it. He leaned forward and kissed me. It was a small peck, but he still kissed me. He blushed and turned away as I blushed too, but remained looking at him. “Was that too soon?” he asked shyly. “No, it was fine” I said. “Good. Then you wouldn’t mind me doing it again” he was about to lean in again when I put a finger in front of his lips to stop him. “Shouldn’t I be your girlfriend first?” I was hoping he’d catch on. Yet again this is Jack we’re talking about. “Oh” he said. “Does this mean I have to ask you to be my girlfriend before I can kiss you again?”
“You figure it out”
“Elaina, will you be my girlfriend?”
I pretended like I was pondering for an answer just to make him wait.”Yes” then he kissed me. And again. Soon enough we were making out on the beach. It didn’t last long. He was holding onto my upper arms and must have felt me shiver. “Want to go back to my place?” he asked without meaning anything. “Sure, I should probably…Never mind then” I was about to text my dad asking if I could go over to Jack’s, but he must have read my mind and sent me a text saying I could spend the night. I feel lucky that my dad knows I’m not going to do anything. He didn’t even have to give me a talk. “Let’s go” he said pulling me by my hand back to the car. It had gotten darker as we stood out on the beach.
When we pulled into his driveway and got out we tried to be as quiet as possible. Tip-toeing up the stairs to his room slowly and trying to avoid the creaks on the stairs. He threw me a pair of sweats. Honestly, he must have a ton of sweats considering how many pairs I’ve borrowed, and haven’t returned yet. I changed while his light was still off; he didn’t even turn his lamp on. He just changed then hopped on his bed with his arms open waiting for me to crawl in next to him. I did so, and cuddled up next to him inhaling his scent of …apples? He’s a different breed alright. We whispered to each other until I fell asleep. Safe and sound in his arms.
