Karl pov:
Jake and I arrived at a small but fancy restaurant, we walked over to our table that he booked for the night and jake pulled out my chair for me,
"Thank you" I smiled as I sat down before jake made his way to his chair.
"So. Karl, tell me about yourself" jake said while holding his hands together like a fist,
I shrugged "well you already know what school I go to" I giggled and leaned forward a bit "so what do you want to know?"
Jake thought for a few seconds before responding with "got any siblings?"
I nodded "I have an older sister" I started,
"She doesn't live with me and my dad though, she moved out not long after I started high school" I finished and looked down.
"You and your dad? Does your mom not live with you?" Jake asked hesitantly,
"Uh.." i shifted in my seat a few times before looking outside the window "she died when I was 8 after we moved" I mumbled, silence stood between us and I looked up at jake who looked sympathetic, he tried to find words to comfort me but had no luck.
"Im so sorry Karl- I didn't know" was all he could really say, I smiled a bit
"It's okay, just- can we not talk about it?" I responded and smiled sadly, he nodded almost immediately and we carried on talking
"Why did you want to become a teacher?" I asked. Jake laughed a bit and shrugged.
"I just like helping people aspect their dreams I guess, I've always been like that." He replied, that melted my heart, I smiled knowing that he wanted to help many young people to reach their careers in life. We carried on talk abit as we waited for a waiter.
"Can I get you both anything?" That voice sounded familiar.. almost like it was.. Nick?! What was he doing here?! I looked out the window as jake ordered something
"Ka-" I cut him off
"Just a salad" I responded and kept silent as much as possible, Nick said 'ok' before taking his leave. I was starting to feel uncomfortable sitting here now and jake noticed because he asked what was wrong. I hesitated before signing
"That's Nick- the guy I pick on" I mumbled "he goes to our school.. we can't let him see us"
Jake nodded and looked around he saw Nick and looked back at me, once our food arrived I stared down at my bowl before grabbing my fork.
'Come on Karl just eat' I thought, I had an eating disorder, I felt like I was always fat and to be honest that's half the reason I developed the disorder, the other reason was because I didn't eat much at home which meant I never really wanted to eat when I was offered food. I took one bite trying my hardest to swallow it and keep it down. I took a second bite and pushed my plate away,
"I think I'm full" I lied, I didn't want to lie to Jake but I also didn't want him making comments,
"Are you sure? You only had like two bites" he said with concern, I smiled and nodded.
Once we finished our meals we quickly left the small place and took a slow walk down the path.
"I had fun tonight Karl" jake spoke up, I nodded in agreement before looking up at him
"I did too" jake stopped and looked at me. He rested his hand on my softly pink tinted cheeks before leaning close, his lips met mine and like I said at walkers kiss, the kiss was passionate and I loved every second of it, i wished it would last.
"Come on, let's get you home. You have school tomorrow" jake said with a chuckle,
"Hey! So do you!" I giggled. We kissed again and he opened his car door to let me in. And with that we were on our way back to my fake house.
