Falling For The Jerk

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

"Right Ms. Smith?"

"Right!" I say jerking out of my thoughts. He mumbles something under his breath and turns back to the board. I nudge Erin next to me and ask if I can borrow her notes later and she nods. Suddenly, I feel a weird feeling in my pocket and realize my phone is vibrating. I pull it out and see that I have a text. I unlock my phone and read it.

"Whatcha Doin? -J"

How in the world did he get my number, I wonder. I look up and see that Mr. Martin is turned around still and quickly reply.

"How did u get my #?"

After a few moments my phone buzzes again.

"You left your phone on your bed when you were taking a shower this morning"

I mentally slap myself. Great, now he has my number. I look down at the phone which has vibrated again.

"Wanna meet up at lunch?"

"No" I quickly reply and slide my phone in my bag. I realize I probably sounded rude, but I don't care because he's a jerk and I don't get involved with jerks. He was nice last night though.. I pull out my phone again and type in another message.

"Fine"

The rest of the day passes in a blur and it turns out that I have every class with someone from the group. By the time lunch arrives Im kind of excited to eat lunch with Jake.

Seth and Jade are in an argument about the Women's Rights Act while walking to lunch.

"Women should be in the kitchen and taking care of children!" I suddenly hear a smack and a whine and can't help but laugh. Not wanting to be dragged into the argument I look for Jake.

He had said to meet him up front, so I walk to main office and out the doors.

I hear my name being called and see Jake on a black motorcycle.

"Get on," he says tossing me a helmet. I pull on the helmet, careful not to mess up my hair and climb in behind him. He turns on the bike and I wrap my arms around his torso as he drives off. I've never really been on a bike and it feels amazing! The win whips around us as he speeds off of campus and into the streets.

A few moments later he pulls into the parking lot of a pizzeria. I hop off when he kicks down the kick stand and toss him his helmet back.

"How'd you know I like pizza?" I wonder out loud.

"Lucky guess," he says smiling, showing his dimples. I take him in and he looks absolutely gorgeous with his hair slicked back and his toned muscles showing. In that moment I realized and dreaded the fact that I'm falling for this jerk.
