~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chap 12~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jake and I walked down the path. I looked at Jake for a quick moment. His looked handsome in his crisp, blue suit. "You scared?" Jake said, a hint of teasing in his voice. "I guess, but aren't we all?" I replied. "Smart as always." He smiled at me. I smiled back. I wanted this walk to last for a long time. "You know, I gave you a nickname, Sparky, but you never gave me one." I said. "You're right! How about, Goldilocks?" He asked. "Lets shorten that to Goldy." I replied laughing and gave him a friendly shove. He gave me a goofy grin. Our hands had fallen out of the others along they way. He slipped his hand back into mine, and I gave it a gentle squeeze. "Oh, by the way, happy birthday." He said softly. I nudged him with my shoulder and gave him a smile, and said, "Thanks." We walked to the gymnasium, hand in hand, and stepped inside. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The gym was PACKED. It was full of 9th, 10th, and 11th graders .On one side, there was a snack table with some people who came with no one. on the other side of the gym, there were all the sporty and popular kids who were either rejected or came for fun. In the middle was a giant dance floor. I looked around for Syd and my friends. They were probably still walking. We walked onto the dance floor and, well, danced! After like, 10 minutes, Jake spotted them at the back and I waved them over. A while later, the DJ played a slow tune. Sdy literally shoved us on the floor. "Uh, ok.." Jake said. I looked at him and asked, "How are we supposed to do this?" "No idea. I guess I put my hands here and you put yours here.." He answered. After a couple minutes of...I don't know what, we finally got into position, my hands on his shoulders, his on my waist. We swayed to music and I felt a blush creeping up my cheeks. "Brook, I'm glad you said yes." Jake said quietly. I gave him soft smile. "Me too." I whispered. Soon the dance was over and kids walked out of the gym. Jake and I went the long way, from outside. We held hands as we walked back. "Can I ask you something?" I asked. "I feel I don't have a choice." He said and grinned at me. "Shut up, Sparky." I laughed and gave him a friendly shove. "Okay go ahead." "I was going to say, why did you ask me?" Jason stopped and looked at me. I looked into his shocking blue eyes and he took both my hands in his. "Because your kind, sweet, gentle, beautiful, and a whole bunch of other words. And, I think I like you." He looked into my eyes. "I-I think I like you too." I replied and I imagine I was blushing. We learned towards each other, slowly, and kissed. He smelled like fresh air and sea breeze. He pulled away and put his hands on my neck. "Is it okay if I did that?" He asked. I leaned so our foreheads touched. "Yes, it is." For the rest of the walk back, Jake had his arm around me and I leaned on him. We chatted until we reached my dorm. "Bye Sparky." I smiled at him. He smiled back. "Bye Goldy." I headed up the stairs, grinning, and thinking about my future with Jake. I opened my door, quickly changed, and flopped on my bed. I closed my eyes. I thought my relationship with Jake would go farther, but did I want this? Of course I did. I fell asleep and surprisingly, had no nightmares. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
