Jake then headed I to class casually taking notes till a note was passed to him. He then was about to reply he got caught, thankfully only a warning. He almost wanted to shout 'really?!' But he didn't. Every time she asked again, something, rather someone always interrupted them. He figured he wouldn't even bigger asking after class because just after, as expected, Cole had came up and asked if they had dates. no because you keep interrupting me Jake thought and just replied with a simple no. He figured now he would get to ask her at all because Cole was going to now. Jake signed and headed into the boys locker room and got dressed and ready for basketball practise.

The coach finally came in and told everyone to gather up. "Alright. Team captains. Adam and Cole. We're doing this old school. Adam will pick first," the coach explained. "Go."

Adam was quick to choose his best friend for his team. Then Cole was up. Immediately, he chose Emily. Emily went up to stand next to him. Then, Adam was smart and picked Jake for his team. Smart Emily thought. Choosing the best player on the team. The picking went on until everyone was chosen. The last picked weren't bad. They were just the least popular. People tended to pick their friends first. At least in this class.

The game started after the coach blew his whistle. Emily started off blocking multiple people. She would occasionally get the ball and make baskets, but every time the ball was passed to her by Cole. The other boys didn't think she could score. Even if she scored two three-pointers and two two-pointers. She eventually ended up blocking Jake. Maybe now she could ask him. So she raised her eyebrows in question. He opening his mouth when the ball hit him in the back and lurched him forward into her.

(Teehee. I really am cruel! xP Do you want them to accidentally kiss or just him landing on top of her?)

[StormyNight]

(Your funny, and na just him fall on her)

Jake got ready and headed into the gym and in a line. The team captians were picked and they started pickj g their teams. Jake was slightly upset he didn't get to be on enjoys team but he shrugged it off quickly. The game had been going well, he noticed that, even though everyone saw that she beat Cole yesterday, they still wouldn't pass it to her. He saw only Cole would pass it to her, he felt bad, even though she made four baskets already. Then it was her turn to block him and he smirked. Now was his final chance to ask her and he was about to when he got hit in the back with the ball. He ended up falling and by reflex put his arm around Emily to catch her, and his hand slammed down on the ground catching them both, so Emily never hit the floor.

[EllaDancer]

It happened very quickly. First the ball hit Jake in the back and he lurched forward into her. Then he was holding her. She tried not to blush. Their faces were so close together and she could feel the warmth of his breath. She let herself stay there for one more precious second and finally got up. "Thanks," she said, not meeting his eyes. She didn't know why she was making a big deal out of this. She just met him yesterday. She couldn't possibly like him. But she did spend the whole day yesterday with him...

The coach made his way over to them. "Jake. You okay?" he asked. At Jake's nod, he turned to the class. "Be careful! Basketballs hurt! And don't throw it unless that person is asking for the ball. And make sure the person doesn't have his BACK turned to you," he announced. "Do you need to sit out and rest Jake?"

[StormyNight]

Jake looked at her when he caught her. His hand slammed down on the ground from breakj.g their fall, that it hurt real bad. But he didn't care about it hurting, he just stayed there just staring at her. Then looking away slightly feeling himself blush already. She then got up and he cleared his throat before standing up as he rubbed his wrist. It felt broken, but it didn't hurt that much. He smirked at the teachers foment ablout not throwing basketballs at someone who has their back at them.

The coach asked if he needed to sit out. He didn't want to seek weak and like the fall had hurt him, and after all his wrist didn't hurt. So he said no and they continued playing the game. After the game he went to take a shower then washed his hands, he had seem his wrist was a bit bigger than the other, so he decided to go to the nurse and check it out. Turns out he had broken his wrist, and he got a temporary splint till he could go to the real doctor.

[EllaDancer]

(Oh poor, stupid teenagers that can't see they love each other. xD)

Emily looked at Jake, worried when he rubbed his wrist. It seemed red and was probably going to swell up. She noticed he was late coming out. It was one minute before the bell rang when her and Cole finally rushed to their next class. In the rush, Cole didn't get a chance to ask her.

A little after the bell rang, the teacher silenced the class. She wrote the final themes on the board.

Nature
Underwater
Fire and Ice
Black and White
Red Carpet

She turned back to the class. "Alright class," she started. "These are the final themes no exceptions." There were a couple of sighs from the Twilight fanatics. "Think a little. I will start the voting in a minute. Each person is allowed two votes at first. Then one." Murmuring started around the classroom.

It was hard for Emily to choose. She loved them all. But then again, that was the reason they were chosen. As much of a good idea Jake's was, it was too specific. It didn't have a wide enough range. And she liked the colors of earth, so she liked the Nature theme. Black and white was nice, but it was also somewhat limited like fire and ice. And she couldn't think of anything to wear for underwater other than blue. Emily decided to vote on the Nature theme and the Red Carpet theme.

[StormyNight]

Jake had came in after the first voting was done. He gave a note to the teacher saying proof he was at the nurse. He then nodded ans told him to take a seat. The final three were picked.

fire and ice
Nature
Red carpet

Jake sat down his hand and wrist in a splint.

[EllaDancer]

After the first round of voting, still three categories remained. Everyone still had two votes since there were more categories left than expected, so Emily planned vote for Nature and Red Carpet.

When Jake sat down, Emily looked at his wrist. "Are you ok?" she mouthed. At his nod, she still felt guilty. He caught her. It wasn't her fault, but if he hadn't caught her, his wrist would be ok.

After the second round of voting, still two themes remained. Nature and Red Carpet. Now everyone had one vote. Emily thought. Red carpet had a wider variety of things to wear to choose from, but she really liked the colors of Nature... When the time came, she finally voted on Nature.

[StormyNight]

Jake nodded to Emily that he was okay. He didn't want to worry her, especially while in class. Later he'd just have to tell her he ended up breaking his wrist. But shed find out sooner or later wether he told her or not. After school he was going to go to the doctor to get a cast. He then voted on red carpet and nature. even though he himself suggested fire and ice, he figured it was more of a variaty to choose from. He finally chose nature at the end nature won and it was now time for planning. After all, the dance was in a week. And Jake was slightly annoyed his wrist was broken, but he didnt blame Emily, he blamed himself.


He took ma.y falls before, and like the coach had sai, not to fall on your hands, because that's what you need mainly in this game. The coach would be furious to find out that he broke his wrist. But if it meant saving Emily from a possible head bang maybe causing amnisuia he would break his wrist any day. They then started planning and assignkng people to do certian parts. Jake was assigned to do some decorating, and was choosen to make a fountian for the middle of the room. Jake was happy about that. He was even happy he could do anything with his wrist. Finally school was over and Jake had stood swinging his bag over his shoulder and headed out the door.

[EllaDancer]

Emily liked that nature won. Blue was her favorite color and she liked green on her as well. But she would probably be procrastinator and go dress shopping the weekend before the dance or something. Then everyone was assigned tasks to help with the dance. After that, they were released. The rest of the day continued on mostly as usual. Until after lunch.

Cole had come up to Emily, looking like he had something to ask her. Emily had just finished packing up and Jake went to go to the restroom. Cole found it was his chance since they were mostly alone. Emily noticed he was trying to speak, so she asked, "What is it?"

He stuttered, but finally got out the question. "Um.. I was wondering if you would like to, uh, go to the dance with me?" he asked somewhat nervous. Which was weird. He was so confident. Why was he nervous about asking her out? He was never nervous about it before. What was wrong with him?

Emily paused. This was the last thing she had expected. Plus, she didn't know what to say. She was wanting Jake to ask her. Well, now she knew that idea was way to far fetched. But she still wanted to give him a chance. "Um... This is really sudden.. and uh, soon. I'll need to think about it," she replied softly. Cole nodded. He understood. It was just her second day at school. He would wait.

"I understand. You can give me the answer when you're ready," he had said. Then Jake had come back and they walked with each other to their next classes.

After the bell rang, Emily got her stuff and caught up with Jake just as he was heading out the door. "Hey Jake," she greeted, smiling. "How's your wrist?" She glanced at his wrist, still feeling slightly guilty no matter how much she knew it wasn't her fault.
