-Chapter Four-

One week.

I have been talking to Jake Carter for one week.

Most of the time we'd be talking every day; all the time. At three o'clock, when I got out of school, Jake was just eating lunch. Sometimes this three hour time difference can really get on my nerves..

The first thing he would do when he got to lunch, he'd text me. Sometimes he would even text me during his classes. He told me that his friends are always wondering who he is texting so much and why that person takes up most of his time. 

Once he got out of school (three hours after I did) he would text me non-stop. Now he's blaming me because he doesn't get his homework done on time. I, on the other hand, am done with most my homework before he even gets out of school.

No, who am Ifooling here? We all know that I wait until the last minute to get it done.

Yesterday Jake got his first 'B' on one of his tests. And of course it's my fault. But I can't get at mad at Jake. If I did, I'd stop being mad at him in less than five minutes. So, there's really no point to.

Danielle still doesn't know about Jake, but she keeps growing more and more suspicious though. She always asks why I text my ''cousin'' so much. I just shrug it off.

I'll tell her soon though... Maybe.

So right now, Jake and I are about to play an amazing game of......(cue drum roll)..... '21 Questions'.

'Okay, you start!" Jake demanded.

"Why can't you?"

 

"Because I don't wanna. Now go."

I sighed, trying my best to think of an awesome question to start off the game. Finally, I came up with one that will blow your mind.

"Question 1: What's your favorite color?" I asked.

 

"Way to be creative ;) And clear."

 

"Thanks :D And clear isn't a color -.-"

 

"It can be if you belieeeeve xD"

"No. It can't. I'm just going to assume you like the color blue :P" I said, rolling my eyes. Clear isn't a color. Or is it?

Oh well.

"I do :) Question 2: Do you play any sports?" he asked.

"Actually, yes I do. Question 3: Do you play any sports?"

"Yep! I play soccer, football, and track. Question 4: Are you going to tell me what sports you play?"

"Cool beans. Someones an active little fellow xD And yes. I play vollyball and track." I replied.

I lied, I wasn't that lazy. I'm only when I feel like being lazy.

"Interesting xD And... You never asked a question :P"

Oh, I forgot! "Oh, sorry :) Question 5: What is your favorite thing to do?"

 "Surf, duh!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot lol. It was a waste of a question. Um, your turn!"

  

"Question 6: If you were a type of candy, what kind would you be?" he asked.

Whoa. Weird question. "Honestly, I don't want to be candy, because then I'll get eaten =/ Ok, I'd be a Milky Way bar :)"

"Nice choice :) And you still didn't put another question!"

"Sorry xD Okay, Question 7: What do you prefer: Apple or Android?" I questioned.

"Android. Question 8: What is your favorite kind of cereal?"

"Lucky Charms xP So sugary and marshmallowie (That's not a word, but I don't care)."

"I like Raisin Bran. It's so delicious." he replied.

I was shocked there. Raisin Bran? Ugh, just thinking of it makes me want to puke. "Are. You. Kidding. Me? I think I just barfed a little =/"

"Ew. Glad I wasn't there xD Are you okay? (Ps. I hate Raisin Bran, just wanted to see your reaction ;) )"

 "Yeah, I'm fine. And I should've known," I told him.

"Yeah haha," he replied.

"Okay, your turn to ask a question!" I replied.

"No. It's YOUR turn ;) Keep track little missy!"

I reread the text messages. Jake was in fact right. It was my turn. "Question....8?"

 "Nine."

"Dang," I muttered under my breath. "Okay, uh.... Question Nine: Would you rather go to school or sleep in?"

"Hmm.... Probably sleep in. But then I wouldn't be able to see Lily."

Lily? Who's Lily? Okay, don't freak out, Alex. If he had a girlfriend, he would have said something about her by now. Right?

Absentmindedly, I quickly typed a message, and sent it before I could even take notice of my actions.

 "Who is Lily?"

 "You have to wait until it's your turn again to ask a question, remember? Okay.. Question 10: What's your favorite thing to do?

"Read. Now Question 11: Who's Lily?"

"If you thought she was my girlfriend, you were way wrong. She's my best friend. Has been since we were in diapers."

I let out a sigh of... Relief? Why was I relieved? I mean, why would I care if he had a girlfriend? Most guys these days do have girlfriends. All of my thoughs subsided, and I replied with the best reply I could muster. "Oh." 

 

"Were you jealoussss?? *Wiggles eyebrows*" he replied.

"No. Actually, I wasn't. I just thought that if you had a girlfriend, you would have told me :P No biggie!"

"Mmm.... Okay. And yeah, I probably would have told you. Question Twelve: What time are you going to bed? I know it's late over there."

That was true. It was eleven fifty-seven PM now. "Soon, I guess. I'm going to go get ready for bed then =)"

"Okay, sleep well, Alex ;)"

 "I'll try to!"

 "So I guess we'll continue our game tomorrow?" Jake suggested.

"If you want to, then sure xD Good night!"

"Night."

So that was chapter four! Remember, the more votes I get on one chapter, the faster I upload xD That is depending on how fast I can write. You all have been voting and commenting (WOO!) I think that may be a good sign?? Anyways, good bye. Upload: Two to three days.
