That Way

3. Family.

After eating, we walked to the park near Hazel and Katie's school so that we can pick them up when they finish.

"You think we'll get in trouble for skipping today?" I ask while eating my haribo tangfastics. "Nah, they're chill. Plus, I'll explain it if they ask." He smiles while laying down, resting on his arm and facing me, while I sit with my legs crossed on the field.

"Mr Aston Villa will sort it out." I say making him smirk as he winks at me. "Anything for you darlin." He says making me blush as I look down and try to hide it with a laugh.

"So, where ya from then?" He asks while staring at me intently. "Bournemouth." I say making him smile. "So you support Bournemouth FC?" He asks making me instantly shake my head.

"Absolutely not. I support saints." I say making him raise a brow at me. "Why?" He asks. "Because my dad grew up in Southampton, so he always supported saints, so I do too." I say making him smile as he runs his free hand through his hair.

"You think you'll switch and support me?" He asks with puppy dog eyes as I shove Haribo's in my mouth. "Depends." I say making him smirk. "On what?" He asks cheekily. "If your shit or not." I say making him throw his head back as he laughs.

"There ain't no way, your going back to Bournemouth. Your stuck with me now." He smirks as he steals some of my sweets and eats some of them, while keeping the rest in his other hand.

"You could come and visit though, walk along the beach, play mini golf, they've got really good pubs." I say making him smirk. "Your seventeen, how are getting into pubs?" He laughs. "Fake ID. All my friends have them." I say making him smile.

"Of course you did." He shakes his head at me while smiling. "But your not leaving." He says seriously as I roll my eyes. "Keep doing that, see what happens." He smiles as I suck my teeth and look down while blushing.

"Your a pig." I say making him laugh. "We've been together for three hours and I've not done or said anything like that." He says making me laugh. "Wow, would like an reward?" I ask making him smirk as he bites his lip while looking in my eyes.

"Any reward from you will be good." He says making me sigh and fall onto my back as he laughs and lays on his back. "I hate you." I sigh as I hide my face in my hands while led down.

"You'll love me soon enough." He says making me lift my head to see him looking at me with a smirk. "All you do is smirk. Can your face do anything else?" I ask making him pout as he rolls his eyes.

I grab my phone and see that school ends in ten minutes, so I sigh before standing up and sorting my jeans out while Jack looks up at me. "We gotta go." I say while reaching my hand out for him. He takes it and pushes himself up with his other hand.

He throws his arm around my shoulder as we begin walking through the field until we reach the path. "Why do you always put your arm around me?" I ask while looking up at him.

"You want me to stop?" He asks making me shake my head and give him a side hug as we keep walking. "No, I'm just wondering." I say making him smile. "Just tryna make sure everybody knows your off limits." He says making me show a confused look.

"But I'm not?" I question making him smirk. "Not just anyone can have my best friend." He says making me roll my eyes. "Your so annoying." I say making him grin.

"Like I said, you'll love me." He smiles as we arrive at the girls school. He stands behind my with his arms around my shoulders like earlier.

"Look at em." He points to Hazel and Katie walking over to us smiling and laughing. "Already best friends." I smile at them. "Ivy!" Hazel smiles before running into my arms as Jack let's go if me and hugs Katie.
