***UNEDITED!!***

Sophie's Pov ~ 

"Thanks, for the ride, Jake," I said as we pulled into my driveway.

"No prob, Soph. We need to do stuff like this more often, kay?"

"Definitely." I nodded and got all my stuff out the back. Jake walked me up to the front door. "See you at school, then."

He smiled and nodded. "Okay, bye, Sophie."

"Bye." He gave me a light kiss on the cheek before walking back to his car. I waved good bye to him, and walked into the house, closing the door behind me.

As soon as I closed the door, Troy popped out of the living room. "And why are you so happy?"

"Mmm....Depends why you're asking." I walked into the living room and sat on the larger couch.

"What a guy can't ask an innocent question?"

"Nope. Because, this has nothing to do with you, therefore, it is none  of your business."

He scoffed as he walked away. "For your information, I didn't even want to know anyways."

"Ha, yeah, right." I turned on the TV and began flipping through the channels until it landed on Animal Planet. I watched a few alligators eat some wildebeests, flinching now and then. Eventually, I got bored and began flipping again. I stopped on MTV. Sixteen and Pregnant was on. Ugh, I hate this show. I changed the channel to TLC and Toddlers and Tiaras was on. 

Even though this show is just a bunch of mini divas, it entertains me. These little girls are absolutely crazy.... Shaking my head in disapproval, I changed the channel, deciding that alligators and wildebeests are better than divas.

When I woke up, I checked the time on my cell phone. It read 6:57. Ugh, I need to get ready, but I'm so tired!!!

I reluctantly got out of my bed and dragged my body into my bathroom so I could begin my morning routine. 

As I made my way to the elevator, I heard loud snoring coming from Troy's room. Wow, I've never heard snoring like that before!

Hmm.....Should I let him miss school, or wake him up?? I chose the latter because if I did let him sleep in, I know he wont wake up until school is almost out. I opened his bedroom door without knocking and walked into his room. 

I shook his shoulder until his eyes finally opened. "Why are you in here...?" he asked as he rubbed his red eyes.

"I'm waking you up. We have school, genius."

He sat up in his bed. And of course he had to be shirtless.... "Okay, get out," he demanded, pointing to his door.

"Why so demanding?" I arched my right eyebrow and crossed my arms over my chest.

He yawned as he replied, but I could'n understand him at all. 

"Excuse me, what did you say?" I asked.

"I said, 'because I am in my boxers'." A blush crept on my face. Wait why the heck am I blushing!? "So are you going to leave or....?"

"Uh, y-yeah. Sorry...." I looked down at the floor and composed my self as I walked to the door of his bedroom. "Oh, and by the way, Troy, you snore like a bear."

"At least I don't look like a tomato." Crap! He noticed that!? I turned around and shot him a glare over my shoulder.

That little.....

Once I was in the dining room, I noticed that breakfast was already spread out on the table. Bacon, pancakes, bread rolls, sausage, waffles, eggs, french toast, fried potatoes, and anything else you can think of!

This is seriously nothing compared to what I used to eat when I lived back with my parents. If I got lucky, I could eat at Kayla's house. But most of the time, I was starving up in my bed room!

There was never any food at all, and I had to steal vegetables from the neighbor's garden. Half the time, all there was was unripened tomatoes and hard carrots. There was also plantains, grapefruits, and different kinds of peppers. I would use some of the lettuce they had and made a salad. After about a month or two of doing so, they would 'shoo' me off like I was some kind of pest. The best time to get food from them was at night time when they were asleep. Soon enough, they put up cameras and motion censored lights to make sure I wasn't sneaking around.

It's not my fault I wasn't fed properly!!

I filled my plate up with a few pancakes and some potatoes. I wasn't all that hungry, and I still need to hurry up so I can get to school on time! By now, Troy had joined me, but we didn't talk much. 

Once I was done eating it was already 7:25. I decided to watch TV until Jake gets here. He was supposed to be picking me up from now on, I guess. 

When I heard his car pull up in the driveway, he honked his horn, getting my attention. I grabbed my school bag on my way out the door and slipped on a pair of Converse that matched my top. 

"Bye, Troy! I'm catching a ride with Jake today!" I called as I opened the front door. I hopped into Jake's convertible and threw my bag into the back. 

"Hey, Sophie," he greeted me with a smile.

"Hey, Jake."

"Uh....Troy scares me...." he replied.

"Yeah? And why's that?"

"He glares at me every time he sees me! Like now, for instance. Don't look now, but he's looking through the sitting room window."

I laughed a bit before nodding. "I guess he's just playing the Big Brother role."

"Haha, well you wanna get him really mad?" Jake asked, his eyes brightening.

I chuckled and replied, "Sure.... What do you have in mind?" Before I knew it, Jake leaned in and kissed me. I was shocked at first, but then quickly responded. 

As he pulled away, he revved the engine and waved to Troy as we pulled out of the driveway. 

"Now, he's furious,'' Jake said as he lightly chuckled.

"Yeah, I know..."

"Did you see his face!?! His mouth was touching the floor and everything!!" He let out a loud bark of laughter. Forcing a laugh, I looked in front of us on the road.

As much as I somewhat hate Troy, I feel bad for doing that..... Don't get me wrong, I really like Jake and all, but I can't help myself from feeling guilty.

And I didn't think our first kiss was going to be like that. Where did all the romance go...? Well, apparently it went down the toilet. But I guess there is always time for romance.... 

I put my index finger up to where Jake's lips had been on mine a few minutes ago. My lips were still tingling. I stole a glance at Jake. He was smiling to himself as he kept both eyes on the road. The wind was blowing his hair back and since he had been spending a lot of time on the beach lately, he was twice as tan from when I first met him. 

I wonder if he uses bronzer, every celebritie's secret.

We finally pulled up into the school parking lot and when my gaze locked with Troy's......

Let's just say that you could practically see the steam coming out of his ears. He was not happy. At all.

***KIND OF IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE, BUT YOU CAN SKIP IT IF YOU GET REALLY BORED!! BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ IT!!***

 Hey, bananas!! Uh, I tried to update as soon as possible for you!! I know, it's a short chapter, but the next one will probably be longer!!! BUT it will also probably take longer to update.... As you all should know, IT IS NO LONGER SUMMER VACATION!!!! (At least not for me D': ) And I had A LOT of homework on the first freaking day of school. WHO DOES THAT!?!?!  Oh well..... I'll try to update as soon as possible! And as you can see, I no longer have an updating schedule.... It didn't turn out so well!
