don't think so..." I reply, looking forward again. Then Mr. Wilson comes out on the stage, and taps the microphone. Then the assembly begins. Chapter 5- The Many Faces

Paige's POV

 

The bell rings signaling school is over, and I stand up scooching past Jake without a word. I get to my locker and I see Robbie already there with my locker open. I smile thanking him, and digging to grab my stuff. 

 

"Yeah, no problem." He lets out a breath, now what? I stand tossing my back around my shoulder, and pulling my locker door from his hand.  "Why were you and Jake sitting together?" he asks, as I walk away. Then he is  next to me, and keeping pace with me.  I role my eyes, as we make it towards his car. 

 

"Because, he waited for me." I say, telling the truth. "I don't know what his problem is Robbie, and I really don't want to talk about it." I say ending the conversation. I look back at the school, and I see Carmen walk out with Wyatt an Jake. I haven't really seen her at all today, my only class she is in is seventh period study hall and she wasn't there. I get into Robbie's car as does he.  

 

"I'm just wondering.." He informs me starting his car. ".. Wanna have that movie marathon  tonight?" He asks, pinching my side. I jump away as good as I can in the car and giggle. He knows I hate it when he does that! "What? What's so funny" he asks and he does it again. 

 

"I'm gonna pee!" I laugh trying to keep his hand away. He chuckles, and puts the car in drive. Then we leave the parking lot, he drops me of at my dorm and we talk about me going to his dorm so we can watch the scary movies. Taking things to my room, I head down to the kitchen and fill up Fiddle's water and food bowl. I grab a pop tart from the pantry as well.  I lean against the counter, and watch Fiddle dig into the food. He is a fat cat, but he is like a healthy fat cat. He is just bigger I guess. He can still run around like a tornado and do all that so he is fit!  

 

"So Paige." Anne walks in filing her nails, "I saw Jake and you sat together at the assembly." She says, looking up at me through he fake lashes. She must've just put them on right after school. I set down the pop tart, looking at the floor thinking of what to say? Of course she would see, she can't ever take her eyes off Jake. I look up at her, wishin that we had different dorms.  That's the only reason she knows my name I assume, is because she sees me oftne and live in the same dorm building as me. 

 

"Jake had a question about drama." I say, breaking a piece from my pop tart and munching down on it. 

 

"That better be all it is." She warns me, "It's bad enough he is in that stupid class anyway." She mumbles leaving the room. I role my eyes looking down at Fiddle who is looking after Anne who just left. Finishing my pop tart I skip up the stairs, and to my room grabbing my phone and keys. I'll just go to Robbie's now, I have nothing better to do. I send him a quick text letting him know I'm coming. I pull up and park, grabbing my phone, and leaving my keys in the car. 

 

I head in just going straight up the stairs to his room. Each dorm has four levels, and Robbie is on the third. Lots of stairs. It keeps me fit though, because my room is also on the thrid floor! I make it up without any problems, and I knock first like always, but I don't hear a reply. I check my phone to see if he opened the message which is somehting you can do with Iphones. He hasn't. I open the door slightly, and say his name. He doesn't reply, but I hear his shower running. That would be why. I go inside, knocking on the bathroom door. Then I go and look at the movies he's got. He peeks his head out from the bathroom, and I wave letting him know I'm here. He waves, and gets back his shower.  I pick out  a bunch of the chucky movies, and the Paranormal Activity movies. Robbies has a book shelf of movies, and most of them are scary movies. He also has the Star Wars and Harry Potter movies. He is something else.

 

When the bathroom door opens again five minutes later, he comes out with a towel wrapped around his bottom torso. Looking at his upper have, I see his arms and chest and stomach. Not bad looking. He is an shape as well. I watch him out of the corner of my eye as he grabs the clothes he has sitting out in his bed, then he goes back to the bathroom.  He comes back out dressed, and running his fingers through his hair trying to dry it. He plops on his bed next to me, and looks the moves I picked out. Then we chat about what snack to eat, when ever we have movie marathons we always run down to the kitchen and hoard all of one food in his room. Although he doesn't know what they have, so we decide to just go and check what they have.  We race down to the kitchen, and it's a pretty even race, but I get to the fridge first.

 

I grab out the fruit punch and Robbie gives me a thumbs up. I set it on the table, and grab two glasses. Then he pull two boxes of Cookie Crisp cereal. I grab the juice again and the two cups and head up stairs indicating that we have our snacks for the night. Once we're back in his room, he closes his blinds, and then turns to the light off. Then I press play and we snuggle under his comforter. 

 

Six Chucky movies later, I grab the boxes of cereal and the jug of juice. I whisper goodbye to Robbie, who fell asleep during the last movie, and I leave. I have stayed the night at his dorm before, but only on weekends. Tomorrow is Friday and we have school, probably not a good idea. I turn towards the kitchen once I'm down the stairs, to throw away the garbage. We drank all the juice and ate a box and half of cereal. Taking my time breaking the boxes down so they fit into the recycling bin easier, I lean against the counter peeling of the box tops from them too. 

 

"Yeah, dad I understand." I hear Jake's voice, I role my eyes turning so that my back is to the door hopefully he wont see me. I tottally forgot about Jake and Robbie being in the same dorms as well. What a small fucking world. "Mr. Wilson already assigned me a tutor anyways, so know need to freak out." He speaks again, I listen now, notcing his is talking about me. Or at least having a tutor.

 

"Well, I wont have my son failing classes. You're Jace was a straight A student, and Jayla is a straight A student." An obviously older guy replies, and he sounds sophisticated, and snobby. Jake's father, Mr. Lincoln. He is the owner of the company his family runs. 

 

"I have all A's but one."  Jake sighs, and I turn around looking towards the entrance. He has all A's, but in Mr. Parker's class? 

 

"And that one is an F!" Mr. Lincoln replies, not happy. "Next time I come for a visit, I expect that grade to be better."  Then I hear a door close, and everything is quiet. Wow, Jake's got a chip on his shoulder. I didn't realize that his parents or at least his dad was that ... whats the word I'm looking for stuck up maybe?

 

"Goodbye to you too, Dad." I hear Jake, he sounds disapointed. Gosh, it's 2:43 A.M what kind of visit was that? I feel bad for Jake, he really does need his grade up. I wonder what else was all said, Jake doesn't sound happy at all. THe whole night must've been bad. "What are you doing here this late?" Jake's voice floats into the kitchen. I look up, from the box of cereal checking his posture and his facial expression. He isn't looking at me. He is slouched against the wall, scratching back of his head looking at the floor. 

 

"Watched movies with Robbie." I reply, tossing the jug of juice in the bin. That's all I needed, now I can go. "Well.. I better get going.." I say and I walk past him. 

 

"Paige," he says, I stop looking back as I put my sweatshirt on. "I know you heard what he said." He says turning around and looking at me. 

 

"I wont say anything." I assure him, no way would I say anything about what I heard. Jake has his own family issues, and that's none of my business. 

 

"That's not where I was going," He says, "I just... I want you to know, I really do apreciate that you taking the time to tutor me." He  glances up at my face. I'm a little confused, and I think I'm blushing. Jake is being a good guy. Not a jerk manwhore. He isn't with a girl right now, he was with his father, and most likely getting in trouble. He is thanking me, and really meaning it. I smile happy to see he still has this side to him. I do remember the time we worked on the project in middle school.

 

"Yeah, no problem." I smile slightly, as does he. "By the way, I like this side of you. It's the side I remember from middle school, when we worked on that project."  I inform him, heading towards the door again.

 

"I just wish you weren't the only one.." I hear him before I close the door. I stand outside on the deck area, trying to figure out if I really hear that or if that was just me wishing he would say something like that. Good guy Jake. That Jake is cute. I shake my head, no no matter what Jake he is he isn't cute!

 

Jake's POV

 

I watch as she makes her way out of the school, with Robbie next to her. They talk for a second before they get in the car, and once they do get in they still talk. Wyatt is busy flirting with his new girl, apparently she is more then just a one night thing. I sigh looking back at Robbie's car. I see them laughing, and having a good time. I think I was wrong before, I was right about him being friendzoned, but I can see he is trying to break through it. I wonder why he doesn't just kiss her. I look away, realizing she wont break. She has a set mind, what ever it's set at she isnt vering off track. She hasn't even
