Accidents Happen - CLOSED

He grinned. "Well, here I am. Let's go," he said. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and led her towards what other students called the 'popular' table.

She felt butterflies erupt in her stomach when he wrapped his arm around her.

He sat down and then started in on a conversation with one of his friends. He looked towards Zoe. "You hungry?" he wondered.

"I don't eat here." she said softly. She didn't like school food.

He laughed. "Neither do I," he said. He always went off campus for food, but it always resulted in him missing the first half of class after lunch.

She smiled and looked over at a guy who started a conversation. She still couldn't believe she was at the 'popular' table.

Jake watched Zoe for a bit before he returned to the conversation he was having a few minutes ago.

When the bell rang Zoe stood up and grabbed her bag. She turned towards Jake. "I'll see ya later." she said smiling up at him before starting towards the exit doors.

He nodded and headed in the opposite direction towards his class.

Zoe groaned and hung up on her mom when she found out she couldn't pick her up. She slammed her locker and started towards the house. The buses had already left, so she had to walk.

Jake left school later than usual. He got into his car and left the school grounds. He noticed someone walking up ahead and sped up a little. He honked his horn and rolled down his window as he pulled up alongside them. "Need a ride?"

Zoe looked at him through his window. "I hate to have you give me a ride again." she said softly, brushing her bangs out of her face.

He chuckled. "It's better than walking," he said. "Besides, I'm only a few blocks away from where you live," he said.

She smiled and walked around, climbing in the car. "Thank you so much." she said smiling at him.

He smiled. "No problem," he said. He pulled away from the curb after she was settled and headed towards her house.

She leaned back into the seat and looked at him.

He glanced at her once before looking back at the road. "So, are you looking forward to the party?" he asked.

She smiled. "I am." she said.

"Good. You're not opposed to alcohol or anything are you? Cause there will be lots there. I can always make sure there are non alcoholic drinks for you if you want. Whenever I host parties I make sure everyone fits in and is comfortable," he said.

Se run her had through her hair. "I don't mind alcohol." she said smiling at him.
