Chapter 5

Once there were actually people around us Lucca loudly said to me, "Babe I'm sorry I couldn't keep you company in your last class, you forgive me?" He faked a puppy face that begged for my forgiveness.

I internally rolled my eyes and faked a slow growing smile as I muttered, "I guess so...." then rested my head against him as we walked. I then proceeded to be tortured to no end by having to be in socials, with Lucca trying to take over Tessa's seat and her glaring daggers at him while smirking triumphantly at the fact he failed miserably. I snickered silently as I watched his reaction then watched him pout for a few seconds.

"Hey, she had me first man. Deal with it." I told him, amused. He rolled his eyes and sighed, starting to work on the assignment we were all given. I of course took one look at the paper, trying my best to read it, and couldn't so I put it away in my binder and sat staring off into space. Then someone kicked my foot, startling me and causing me to kick straight in front of me, kicking Lucca in the shin fairly hard.

"OW! Fucking really?!" He exclaimed reaching down to rub his leg. Tessa started laughing her ass off, while I looked between both of them confused for a few seconds.

"Why'd you kick me? All I did was tap your foot a few times to get your attention since you zoned the fuck out." Lucca added, still rubbing his shin.

I chuckled a little then tried not to smile as I said, "Sorry babe, thought you learned by now to not startle me." I saw the death glare in his eyes, behind the fake playful one, and smirked at the fact he was starting to lose.

"Well anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to go on another date tonight." He stated, putting on a gentle smile. I pretended to think about it, when I was really thinking to myself that this fucking sucks.

"Sure, I'll have to stop at home first to drop off a few things." I answered, faking excitement.

"Okay, pick you up in... half an hour?" He replied, since the bell was about to ring any minute now.

I shrugged then nodded as I said, "Yeah, sounds good."

"Wait wait wait. You drive right?" Tessa asked Lucca, raising a brow.

Confused he answered, "Uh.. Duh."

"And.. you don't drive your own girlfriend home?" She continued, sounding furious.

"N—"

"Why the hell are you with this fuckin shit head? Can't even take you home when he's gonna be going to your house in half an hour? Fucking seriously? It'll take you like twenty minutes to walk home so what the hell." She interrupted him, making angry hand gestures then crossing her arms.

"Well, you have to go to your own house for a bit don't you?" I asked him in a calm tone.

Lucca nodded and answered, "Yeah, I have to go through this whole stupid routine for our new puppy. Still have to train him, takes twenty minutes after school."

"Pf. And what exactly is it you have to do with this puppy." She demanded, glaring him down.

"Have to take him out of his cage, then spend ten minutes just trying to get his damn harness and leash on. Then spend the last ten or more minutes walking him. After that he's my dad's problem." Lucca answered smoothly, smirking back at her.

Tess glared a little longer then sighed and growled, "Cause it's too hard to just take Jaelynn with you, if you knew a single thing about her you'd know she fucking loves puppies and wouldn't mind walking one. And either before or after doing that you could just quickly stop at her house but. Whatever. Should still be giving your girlfriend a ride home." The bell rang so we packed up our stuff and left the room. 

Tess didn't stick around, can't say I blame her, but before she headed in a different direction she told me, "You need to kick him more often, aim a fair bit higher next time though and maybe he'll learn something." I chuckled a little at where she was meaning then continued walking towards the door I normally leave through, Lucca for some reason still beside me.

"Can I fuckin help you?" I asked, not looking over at him.

"Yeah, you're comin to my place. Meeting my dad. And.. try to make it convincing that you're here to stay." He responded, smirking proudly at himself. I sighed and shook my head.

"Fine, but you're feeding me cause I'm starving." I stated, knowing I won't be getting out of this.

"Pf. Yeah right." I heard him mutter under his breath. I growled quietly, pretending I didn't hear him while I thought of multiple ways of annoyance to make him give me food. He walked me to his car, obviously not opening my door for me since why the fuck would he. We both got in and buckled our seat belts, then he sped out of the parking lot which was making me extremely concerned for myself with his driving. And I thought me driving was dangerous and scary. Jesus. He almost fricken hit someone way ahead of us that was trying to pull out from a side street, thankfully he missed but still. A very terrifying five minutes later he had pulled into a big driveway that belonged to a big ass three story house, wasn't like a castle size mansion but I imagine it had at least like ten fuckin bedrooms. My house is a one story with only two bedrooms and one bathroom, so I was kind of excited to go see the inside of his house.

We got out and he walked me to the door with his arm around my waist, opening the door he called out, "Hey dad I'm home!"

Lucca lead me into the living room then left me, telling me over his shoulder, "Gotta take a leak." Before I could even think of a response he was gone.

"Thanks for that fucking knowledge.. Wash your fucking hands!" I muttered then yelled at him once realization hit me in the face. After that I just sat awkwardly looking around at his absolutely gorgeous home.

"Oh, hello. You must be the new one he's got for this week." A deeper, older voice sounded flatly from one of the doorways. I looked over to see a man in expensive clothes standing staring at me, an undertone of annoyance and exhaustion in his voice.

I shrugged and smiled, replying, "I intend to stay a lot longer than a week, I'm here to stay whether Lucca likes it or not."

He huffed a dry laugh and stated, "That's what they all say and think, then get thrown away two days later. But good luck to you."

"Uh okay, I'm not easy to get rid of so, Mr. Knight, my name is Jaelynn." I shot back, standing and striding over to firmly shake his hand. Surprise came to his face as he processed my confidence, then he brushed it off and shook my outstretched hand. He was then surprised by how firm of a hand shake I gave, he didn't say anything but I could see it on his face. Lucca walked back into the room, looking confused about what we were doing.

"I see you've met." He commented, moving to my side to put his arm around my shoulders.

"Yes, we have. I hope you actually stay with this one, she seems like she'd be good for you." His dad responded, turning and going elsewhere in the house.

Lucca took his arm off me and whispered, "What the fuck did you say to him?"

I scoffed and answered, "Wouldn't you like to know."

He rolled his eyes and added, "He's never said that before, how did you convince him you're staying?"

I smirked and replied, "Maybe all your dumb sluts just need to learn how to shake hands and not dicks." Then I strode back to the couch and sat down, pulling out my phone to play Sudoku. He stood shocked then came over to see what I was doing.

"Wow, loser much." He scoffed after looking at my phone screen, leaving the room again. I rolled my eyes at him and continued playing my game, finishing the puzzle I was doing in forty-two seconds.

"Fuck yeah! Best time yet!!" I ended up exclaiming, proud of myself. I eventually got extremely bored and got up, starting to wander this huge house.

After awhile I faintly heard Lucca call out, "Jay where'd you go?!" A thought came to mind and I decided to run and hide somewhere. I ended up going into a bedroom, there wasn't anything that showed it was one of theirs that they used except maybe as a guest room, so I looked around for a good hiding spot. Then I heard Lucca's voice down the hall and panicked, quickly hiding in the closet that surprisingly had stuff in it, making myself completely covered. I heard the door open and Lucca sigh as he I guess laid on the bed for some reason. "Fuckin give up. Lucky I even bothered to god damn look that fricken long." I heard him mutter hatefully. Kind of stung, but I'm fricken used to that crap. I know everyone hates me so I try not to think about it too much. I'm assuming he was on his phone, I don't know for how long though.

His dad knocked on the door and asked, "You lose your girlfriend already? Wow, first one to get sick of you instead of the other way around!" I almost burst out laughing at that but managed to keep it to a barely audible pfff sound.

"No dad. She's just childish and is playing hide and seek with me, I've just gotten bored of playing." Lucca retorted, presumably still playing on his phone.

"Well, you've found her once. Find her again, she's worth it." His father replied, closing the door. I heard Lucca scoff but eventually sigh and get up.

He sarcastically started talking as if he were talking to a three year old, asking, "You under the bed??? No. You hiding behind the curtain??? No. You in the closet??? No. Hmmmm wonder where Jaelynn could be!?!!!" I ended up snorting in pissed amusement, rolling my eyes at his stupid behavior. "Are you fucking actually in the damn closet?" Lucca asked, tone changing completely by dropping the sarcasm and sounding astonished as he opened the closet doors again. Stuff shuffled as he moved things trying to see if I was in here, then I felt him grab my foot and tug so I let out a surprised shriek type sound, falling the rest of the way out of the closet.
