Ice Cold Heart

Chapter 4

"Good morning honey I didn't know you came in last night."

My mother said as she entered the kithcen. I roll his eyes and continue to cut my fruits to fit into my bowl.

"That's because you weren't here." I responded in a annoyed tone.

"Don't be disrespectful." My father scold as he entered the kitchen placing his coffee mug on the counter. My happy mood just went down, both of them in the same room to annoy me now.

"How's school?" He ask

"School is school." I answer

This is the type of conversation I have with my parents. I am not very close to them and don't think I will ever be. They are very emotionless people.

"National try outs are coming up, you better be ready."My father gave me a hard stare and I look away from him and huff.

"When am I never?"I mumbled and walked over to the blender dropping the small pieces of fruit into it and adding water. My father was about to speak again but I started the blender blocking him out and focusing on the machine. Once I was finished I poured the mixture into my bottle and exit the kitchen.

I grabbed my car keys and school bag and made my way out the house.

Exiting my community, I decided it would be good to take Jacob to school. He lives about ten minutes by car away from me.

I continuously sip my blended fruit while driving in the direction of his house. I was a little nervous walking up to his house but I took a deep breath and rang the door bell. I didn't know if he would still be here because he seems like the type to be at school early in the morning.

I waited a couple of seconds before the door opened revealing his mother. When she saw that it was me, a bright smile spread across her face.

"Good morning Zaiden, come on in." She said as she opened the door wider for me to enter.

" Good morning Lucy, is it okay if I take Jacob to school?" I asked politely.

"That's totally fine with me, the only problem is that I dont know if he's ready, you can go up and check."

"Thank you." I smiled

"Would you like a sandwich to go? I make one for Jacob every morning."

"Yes thank you."

I made my way to Jacob's bedroom door and knocked. The door handle turned and Jacob came into view. I almost laugh a his surprised expression.

"Z-zaiden." He said. Almost immediately his cheeks turn red.

"Good morning." I greeted.

"Good morning, I didnt expect you to be here."

" I just thought it would be nice to bring you to school."

"Thank you. Come in."

He turned and walked back in his room and I followed. I sat down at his desk and watch him take out the books he would need today from his book shelf. He packed his backpack and then went to his closet. I sighed and started think about football and what my father would think if I came out as gay. Tristan already knows That I am, the rest of my friends just think I'm 'acting' gay because of this dare/bet.

"I'm ready." I looked up at Jacob who was smiling like crazy for some odd reason.

We walked back into the kitchen and Lucy handed us our ham and cheese sandwich with lettuce.

"Thank you and bye."Jacob said and kiss his mother's cheek

"Thanks again Lucy."

"You boys have a good day."She pat my head

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

As we walked into school all eyes were on us but I didn't give them any of my attention I just continue looking ahead but Jacob who was beside me was looking nervous.

"I need to go to my locker p-please." I look down at him and bit my lip. The way his brown eyes were looking up at me was driving me insane.

I nod my head as we turn down another hall to his locker. Jacob stuff his bag into the locker for some odd reason and looked through his binder.

I saw Tristan at my locker and walked over to him. He smirk when he saw me coming.

"I saw you two come in a few minutes ago, all eyes were on you two." He smile and I roll my eyes.

"I know it's like they've never seen two people walking before."

"The star football player, the ladies man, the rich Jock and the small semi-mute nerd walking together." He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the word.

I roll my eyes and lean against his locker and look back at Jacob. He was now talking to his friend. The female that skates around school.

"How did it go with Jacob yesterday?"

"It went fine, I had to bring him home early though."

"Yeah that's because he have a mother that's sick."Tristan huff

"Dude stop bringing that up I already feel guilty." I sighed from frustration.

"Then stop."

"I can't."

"Whatever, see you in class."

He didn't wait for me to answer he just walked away. I sighed and went into my locker for my math book and made my way over to the two nerds.

The female glared at me as I approach them and Jacob blush. I chose to ignore the female's glare and focus on Jacob.

"Zaiden, this is my friend J'adore, J this is Zaiden." Jacob introduced us.

"I know who he is, what do you want with my friend?" She said rudely.

"J'adore! Be nice."Jacob mumbled

"Sorry it's kind of weird seeing him here with you." She apologize to him.

"Well, Jacob is my friend."I spoke

"Mhmm, I watching you 'Z'."She said and skated away with her head turned to us and glared at me

"Sorry about her she's usually nice to people." Jacob gave me an apologetic smile.

"It's fine she's just being protective."

Suddenly the bell sounded through the halls as Jacob close his locker

"So I'll see you after school?"

"I'll see you later and thank you for taking me to school Zai."He smile and walked away.

"Aww look at that smile."

I roll my eyes and turn to Benji who had a smirk on his face. The hall way was now clearing up leaving the two of us

"Go to class dude."

"I'm actually skipping would you like to Join Zai." He tease.

I huff and walked away from him. I could hear his laughter as I walk away.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

"Oh my gosh is this Diego?!"

Jacob screamed kneeling down when Diego ran to him and started licking his face and neck

"It is him." I confirmed.

"Hi. It's nice to meet you. You are so cute and you smell so good." Jacob giggled. His little laugh sounded like music to my ears.

"So you wanna play with my dog for the rest of the day or watch a movie with me." I ease as I watch him play with Diego.

" I wanna play with your dog for the rest of the day."

"Well shit."I sighed

"Nice house by the way."Jacob said without looking away from Diego

"Jacob." I fake whine

He pout and stood up but Diego stayed beside him

"He loves you already, he didnt even greet me."I huff and glared at my dog.

I took his hand and brought Jacob up the stairs to my room.

"Wow you are a very organized person Zai.I like you room."

"Thank you."

"What movie would you like to watch?" I asked him.

"Well there is this movie on Netflix I haven't really had the time to watch it...."

"What's it called?"I asked as i turned on the tv

"Ummm."

"What?" I turn to Jacob who was sitting on my bed legs crossed with Diego at his side on my chair

"It's a gay movie."He whispered and bit his bottom lip

"Oh."

Come to think of it I didn't really think about Jacob being gay or not but him wanting to watch a gay movie kind of make this easier for me. I don't have to force him to like me or date me.

"Never mind we can watch what you want."

"No it's okay, get it started while I go to the kitchen."

I gave Jacob the remote and he blushed but took it,I exited my room and made my way to the kitchen.
