The "Nerd" And The StreetRacer!

12 Sunday 28 February 2015

I wake up at 9:30 the next morning and sit up looking around before remembering I had slept on the couch at Jacobs last night.

Suddenly the realisation hits me like a ton of bricks; this time tomorrow I'm going to be at school and everyone will know I'm Queen.

That's the thing at my school word spreads fast.

I guess I couldn't keep it a secret forever and that someone was going to work it out sooner or later.

I would have preferred later..

I hear movement from the other side of the room and look over to see Jacob waking up.

"Urgh" Jacob groans as he clutches his head in pain.
"Hungover?" I say giggling.

Jacobs head whips around to face me causing him to groan again in pain.

"Oh right I remembered what happened now" Jacob says nodding.

"I'm sorry I made you go to that party, I didn't think everybody would find out your secret" Jacob says.

"It's fine Jacob people would have found out eventually regardless if I went to the party last night" I reassure him.

"I have a vague outline of what happened last night I think? But what actually happened?" Jacobs asks seemingly confused.

"Well we got to the party and found Kaleb and Marc and then we danced for a couple songs and I decided to go and get a glass of water but when I came back you guys had all left the spot we were standing at, then Gretchen Calten came over to me and started asking me if went to her school saying that I looked familiar, she didn't recognise me since I had changed anyway then she looked at my face a bit longer then she shouted 'your queen' and everyone heard and turned to look at me, then we left and you tried to drive home but I didn't let you" I explain to him.

"Oh well uh thanks for not letting me drive" he thanks me.

"No problem, is your mum home? Or at work?" I ask him curiously.

"Work. She's a teacher" Jacob says.

"Where's Mark and Kaleb now?" Jacob asks me realising there absence.

"Your guest room we dragged them up here last night" I tell him and he nods.

"I'm going to get something for this head ache, do you want anything from the kitchen?" Jacob asks me climbing off of his bed and making his way towards the door.

"Nah I'm good thanks" I say and he nods walking out the door and shutting it softly behind him so he doesn't wake up the other two just across the hallway.

Jacob returns with a glass of water and some headache tablets he sits down on his bed and takes the tablets sitting the glass down on his bedside table  as he leans back on his pillow.

"How's your head?" I ask him quietly so I don't make it worse.

"Oh yeah it's great" he says sarcastically.

"Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit" I tell him smirking.

"And what would you know about wit" he says back shaking his head thinking about when we first met.

"It's 10:00 should we wake the other two?" I ask him looking towards the door.

"Nah they'll lose it at me if I wake them before noon" he tells me and I laugh quietly.

"I should probably get home" I say climbing off the couch bed.

"I'll just put my clothes on from last night" I say picking them up from the ground where I left them last night.

"Your mum will know you've been out if you do that" Jacob points out.

"Oh right. So what do I do?" I ask him trying to think of something.

Jacob gets off his bed and opens his dresser he pulls out a green day shirt.
Telling me I could just wear my skinny jeans.
"Wear this" he says to me handing me the tshirt I thank him and leave his room walking down the hallway to the bathroom I close the door behind me.

I take off Jacobs mums pyjamas and pull on my jeans then I put the green day shirt on which fit perfectly. Why does Jacob have a girl sized green day shirt?

"Jacob, why do you have a shirt in my size?" I ask him walking back into his room.

"It's my cousins she left it here last time she visited" Jacob says and I nod.

"Her name is Jackie you'd get along with her really well actually" Jacob tells me.

"Okay, well thanks" I say.
"I should get home" I say picking up my purse and checking my phone was still in there.

"I'll drop you off home" Jacob offers.

"I could call Pandora?" I tell him.

"Nah I don't mind" he tells me.

"Okay thanks" I say.

We head outside and get in Jacobs car, Jacob switched the radio on and Green Day starts playing.

I hum along to the words and he smiles at me. Jacob starts humming with me and we then begin to mumble the words soon were both singing along to the words and laughing.

We turn into my street and Jacob turns the music down.

"Well that certainly didn't help me headache" Jacob says and I roll my eyes.

We pull in my driveway and just as I open my mouth to thank Jacob our phones buzz in sync I pull my phone out of my pocket and see the message is from Jim about the race tomorrow.

I look over the list of names until I found mine.

*Queen vs Fox
Get to the track at 4:00 special announcement - Jim*

I switch my phone off and look up at Jacob.

"What do you think the announcement is?" I ask Jacob knowing he got the same message he shrugs unknowingly.

"Maybe Jim is finally going to kick you out for being such a terrible racer" Jacob says smirking.

"Excuse me Pandora and I are the ones who started the whole thing" I say slapping him upside the head.

"Okay okay I was joking" Jacob says rubbing his head.

"Whatever I better get inside thanks for last night and thanks for the ride home" I say.

"No problem and sorry that everyone found out your Queen" Jacob.

"It's fine don't worry bout it" I sigh I shut the car door and walk up to my house waving to Jacob as I push my door open walking inside.

"Sienna is that you?" Mum shouts from the lounge room.

Nah mum it's the Queen again.

"Yeah mum it's me!" I call back to as I head towards the stairs to my bedroom.

I quickly put my clothes and stuff away from last night and change into a pair of my sweatpants and walk to the lounge room and see mum sitting there with a stack of DVDs in front of her.

"What movie are we starting with today?" I ask mum sitting down on the couch pulling the blanket over my lap.

"Pitch perfect?" Mum suggests and I nod in agreement.

Every Sunday since the accident mum and I sit down together every afternoon and have a movie marathon.

Mum and I have definitely grown a lot closer since the accident but were both still adjusting in a lot of ways to not having him here.
