Summary: The two girls were left speechless. Selena didn’t know that he was that smart. Demi grasped on what she could when Jake explained the process but she got lost in wondering how he knew so much.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, just the idea.
“It’s nice to meet you, Jake.” Demi said.
“Likewise. I’m was kinda afraid to go downstairs after I heard all the yelling.” Jake said.
“Yeah, sorry about that. I don’t get along with that man.” Selena said.
“I got that. I think we should go downstairs because he is going to explain why I’m staying here.”
“That should be fun.” Selena said sarcastically. “Demi would mind waiting in my room until Ricky leaves?”
“No, while you guys talk I’ll try to figure some stuff out.” Then she went to Selena’s room while the other two went downstairs to listen to what their father had to say.
The father’s speech seemed to be dragging on and on, at least that’s what Selena was thinking. She put her hand up, “Ricky?”
“It’s-” He didn’t want to start an argument, “Yes?”
“So what you’re trying to tell us that you suck with money and now you can’t afford Jake?”
He nodded knowing that if he said something it would’ve set something off in the room. “Yes.”
“If you could’ve just said that I wouldn’t have wasted an hour of my life and left my girlfriend waiting in my bedroom.”
Her father turned to look at the mother, “You allow her girlfriend in her room?”
“Yes, but before you say anything, this not your house and you can’t tell how to run it. They’re good girls and all they do up there is work on their homework and talk. So shut it.”
That instantly put a smile on Selena’s face when she heard her mom speak like that to her father. My mom rocks. “Hey Jake let’s go to my room.”
“Okay.” He quickly got up from the couch and followed Selena to her room. Demi was sitting on her bed trying to figure out what she was suppose to do with the equation that she was staring at.
“How’s it going up here?” Selena asked her.
“Not so good. I am so confused.” Demi answered.
“What are you doing in algebra two?”
“Conversions. Degrees to radians and radians to degrees. I have no freaking clue on what to do.”
“Did the teacher give you the formulas to use?”
“Maybe.”
“What do you mean ‘maybe’?”
“I was too busy worrying on why you weren’t in school to pay attention in class.”
“Aww, you were worrying over little ol’ me?”
“Yes, now shut up and help me.”
“She can’t help you if you tell her to shut up.” Jake said.
“Looks like I found something in common with you two.” Demi said.
“What?” Selena asked.
“You both are smart asses.”
“And I take pride in it.”
“Is this how you guys talk to each other? I mean, where’s the love?” Jake asked.
“This is how we show it. Now lemme see what you are working on.” Selena said.
Demi handed her the worksheet that held the problems. Selena was scanning over the paper. She put the paper down and let it face Demi. She was about to explain what to do but Jake had beat her to it. “It’s simple. To convert the degrees to radians, you have to use this formula.” He wrote on her paper with a pencil her found on the bed. “Multiply the degrees by pi over 180 and all you have to do is simplify from there. To convert from radians to degrees, you use this formula.” He wrote the second formula next to the first.
“Multiply the radians by 180 over pi, when you do that don’t multiply the top part just the bottom.” He continued. “After that, you cancel out the pi. Which just leaves a simple fraction and times that by 180 and you got the degrees.”
The two girls were left speechless. Selena didn’t know that he was that smart. Demi grasped on what she could when Jake explained the process but she got lost in wondering how he knew so much.
“How did you know that?” Selena asked Jake.
“I’m in pre-cal this year.” He answered.
“How old are you?”
“Fifteen.”
“What grade are you in?”
“I’m a junior this year but only because I got to skip a grade or two.”
“Wow, I might be going to him for help instead of you.” Demi said.
“And spend all that time without me?” Selena questioned.
“Oh yeah, never mind.”
---------------------------------------------
The three of them went to school the next day. Jake went to the office while the girls went to their lockers. He was happy with his new schedule because now he actually got to take the electives he wanted to take.
He was walking down the hallway. He was going to meet up with his sister and her girlfriend. He wasn’t really paying attention to where he was going so he bumped into somebody. “Watch where you’re going!” The blonde said to him.
“Sorry.”
He was about to walk off but a hand on his chest was stopping him from going any further. “I haven’t seen you around here before, are you new?”
“Yes.”
“What’s your name?”
“Jake Gomez.”
The blonde face scrunches up in disgust, “You’re related to that thing?”
“That’s my sister and I don’t appreciate you talking about her like that.”
“What are you going to do about it?” The blonde asked. He didn’t know what to do so he stayed quiet. “That’s what I thought.”
“Hey Jake.” He heard his name being called out. He looked in the direction of the voice and it was Selena. She came up to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulders not even noticing the blonde in front of her.
“Well, you look more like a girl.” The blonde said to Selena.
“Well, Tiffany, you look more like bitch.” Selena said to the blonde as she and Jake walked away from the cheerleaders.
They walked away from the cheerleaders with Selena’s arm still draped over Jake’s shoulders. “So what classes do you have?” Instead of answering her question, he gave her his schedule. Her eyes scanned the paper she had in her hands. “It looks like we have the same classes except for one. You have P.E. while I have art class.” She said as she handed him back the schedule.
“Isn’t it great?” He said excitedly.
“Why are you happy about having P.E?”
“Dad, I mean Ricky wouldn’t let me take it. He sheltered me a lot.”
“Why didn’t he let you?”
“Somehow he thinks somehow I would get asthma. He said that he already had a messed up child and he doesn’t need another.”
Selena nodded her head. She didn’t want to show how angry that had made her felt. That man was never her life enough to have the right to judge her. They walked until they met up with Demi, who leaning against her locker.
“So what does his schedule look like?” Demi asked.
“He has all the same classes as me except for one.” Selena answered.
“Really?” She snatched the schedule out of Jake’s hands almost giving him a paper cut. “How he did manage this? I only got two classes with you.”
“What classes?” Jake asked.
“Chemistry and Human studies.” Demi answered. “I am so jealous.”
“I thought the only situation you would say those words to me is when you think someone else is hitting on me, not when my brother has just about the same classes as me.” Selena said.
“I know, me too.”
“When does the first class start?” Jake asked.
The bell rang after he had asked that question, “Now.” The two girls answered at the same time.
“Come one Jake. See you in fifth period Dems.” The older girl said as she walked away with her younger brother.
Jake studied the people he passes in the hallway and how they look at his sister. He couldn’t believe how people could be that narrow-minded. Half of the people to him don’t look like they would make it far in life.
Maybe taking Human Studies isn’t a bad class to take. He thought to himself. He knows that just hanging out with his sister, that he too, would be getting the same looks. With all these people being like this he wonders how Selena hasn’t committed suicide yet. I guess she’s stronger than I thought.
He knew that these people would receive such hatred if they go out in the world thinking they way they think. It didn’t look like Selena or Demi was making an effort in changing their classmates’ minds or was even planning to.
Jake couldn’t stand being looked at like this every day, so he decided to do something about it. He doesn’t know what he was going to do but whatever it was he was going to do it.
