What the eyes can't see || A TMF fanfic • Jailey (REWRITEN)

Chapter 5 - A not new incident

The next day, Hailey entered the school, along with her brother, thinking overly about that headache. She was afraid it would happen again sometime.
The first person she glances is Jake, talking to Drew and his friends.

As soon as he saw her, he stopped talking at once and greeted her:

- Good morning, Hailey!!
- Good morning, Jake - The girl muttered.

Henry saw Jake's behavior towards Hailey and decided to tease him:
- Don't worry Jake, you can stay with your girlfriend now.~

- What? - He exclaimed - She's not my girlfriend, for the thousandth time!

- Chill out dude, we're just teasing you - The green haired boy reassured - We already know you only like her as a friend. Don't get so mad.

- Well - Liam proceeded - Unless he's been lying to us and he actually doesn't... - Then he started poking Jake's arm.

- Very funny, Liam. But in fact, Henry's right. I only like her as a friend.

- Sure, dude. If you're saying so...

Jake contemplates for a moment.

- Actually, I should talk to her about the competition song. We have to decide what time we are going to finish writing the lyrics. Be right back! - Jake says and runs after the girl.

- There he goes... So deluded that he doesn't even realize she's already started to like him. - Drew sighed, chuckling.

- Too right... Even I realized that! - Henry makes a face.

Meanwhile...

- Hailey! Wait up! - He says, starting to pant.

- Oh, Jake! What's up?

- We have to set up when we're finishing the lyrics of the song.

- Oh, yeah. I nearly forgot... So, when are you free?

- This afternoon around 5pm; but we can do it whenever you have time, though.

- Well, I'm going to help my mom with the chores today. But, I think I am done between 5:30. I'm gonna call her, wait a sec.

* after a minute *

- Around 5:30 I'm free, but only until 7. Is that ok?

- Yeah, sure. No problem!

- Sooo... What do we do now?

An awkard silence took over the moment.

- If we finish early, what do you think about having an ice cream?

- You talk like we're going on a date.

- What? Don't you want ice cream? Okay, I buy it just for me. - Jake said, raising his arms mockingly.

- Hey! I never said I didn't want to eat ice cream!

- Just because I said you'll be alone for me, you bothered, right? Hailey, what a pettiness...

- Nah, shut it! You're the one who provokes this in me, anyway. Jake laugued, and then asked:

- Where can we go?

- Hmmm... How about the Tulipfields park? It has some benches, and it's a nice place.

- Sounds like a nice idea! So, Tulipfields park at 5:30?

- Yep. Settled.

The bell starts to ring.

- Oh, there goes the "confession-usher-bell". - Hailey says, rolling her eyes.
