Jack's pov:
The bell rings signing the end of the lesson. Finally! I want to catch up with Jillian, and most of all I want her to sing. I find her at the usual spot, reading a book, and sucking on something. I notice she isn't wearing the necklace I bought her, but it doesn't matter. Maybe it didn't match her outfit. I approach her and sit next to her.

"Hi freak" I say. She waves to me and puts away her book. Why isn't she speaking to me? I thought she cut off the shy mode with me.

"Why aren't you speaking? Amanda stole your pretty voice because she's jealous? Don't worry, I'll get it back for you." I joke. She giggles softly:

"Sorry Jack. Mrs. Ragieson made me sing for an hour and my voice is low now." She says with a low voice.

"So I suppose you can't sing for me now" she shakes her head. Damn!

"Oh well. I hope you feel better by this afternoon because I wanted to go with you at the new candy shop which opened yesterday" Great Jack, what a good place to hang out. A candy shop. She will surely decline and think I'm weird. To my surprise she agrees:

"I'd love to come with you." I'm happy she accepted my invite.

"Good then."

"Jack?"

"Yes freak?"

"Remember your dating Selene." The bell rings and she stands up and heads to class. Haven't I told her, she's been cheating on me with some jock I know? Probably not. I run after her.

"Wait a minute freak!" I grab her from behind, putting my hands around her.

"Didn't I tell you Selene cheated on me?" She looks at me.

"Really?"

"Yes"

"We'll talk about it later. See you Jack."

"Bye freak"

The afternoon passes slowly and boring. I was about to fall asleep during English. I hate school. I head out of class and I go to the gym to wait for Jillian. She exits the female changing room looking tired.

"Hello freak, you look tired like you've been running a marathon."

"You got close to it Jack. Mr. Huns made us run all the perimeter of the school for five times in a row. I think I'll die"

"Please don't die. I'll go crazy without someone to pester and annoy." I laugh.

"You'll find someone else to annoy." I explode. I turn her around so that she's facing me and I look into her dark eyes.

"Your wrong. I'll never find someone like you. Your special to me and is this you don't understand. Trust me when I say you're unique because no one else in the world is as special, fantastic, wonderful, and beautiful as you." I explained. I see tears on her pretty face and I wiped them away. "There no need for crying"

"It's only......I never receive compliments. Nor even from my parents. I only see them at breakfast and dinner. They tend to ignore me, I mean they love me, but they are so distant"

"Let's talk about something else." I suggest. She nods in agreement.

"Tell me about Selene" she says.

"I was walking in the park Sunday night to take a breath of fresh air and I saw a familiar figure making out with some random people. I approached them slowly and I recognize it was Selene and another dick head."

"What did you do?"

"I cursed at Selene and I broke up with her and I beated up the other one."

"I think you shouldn't have beated him. What if he reports you?"

"Don't worry. I know how to hurt people, without leaving traces."

"Sometimes you scare me."

"Don't worry. I'll kill myself rather than hurting you." We arrived at her house.

"Well then. See you later Jack."

"Bye freak. I'll come and get you at 5pm."

(Time Skip)

I knock gently at her door and I wait for her. She opens it and comes outside. She looks great.

"Hi freak. You look beautiful." I greet her. She blushes at my compliment.

"Hi Jack" her voice is still low. No singing today. "I am a bit disappointed, but it doesn't matter."

"Let's go before they sell out all of the candies." We start to walk towards the centre of the city. It wasn't far away from Jillian's house, but it still was a good twenty minutes by foot. During the little walk, Jill remains silent with her head down.

"What's wrong Jilly?"

"I was thinking about Selene because she didn't seem the type that cheats."

"I know. I'm disappointed like you, but you know the crew is the crew. The members of it are all bitch girls who don't pay attention to the feelings."

"You're right." We arrive at the candy shop and it's enormous. I turn to Jill and I notice she's also staring.

"Come on let's go inside. I wanna buy all the candy in this shop." I take Jill's hand and I drag her inside. The inside is even better than the outside. All of the walls were full of jars containing all of the types of candy of the world. Jill has a smile on her face and I bet she's excited like me:

"Come on Jack! Let's explore this place"

"Yes!" The childish part of us took control as we run to various parts of the shop, looking to this, and that candy, tasting the free samples of strange ones coming from Asia or Australia. We're having lots of fun and I think this is the best date ever! Jill is having fun like me and she is revealing the extrovert and crazy part of her. At the end we bought a lot of candy and we exit the shop happy and with the stomach full of sweets.

"I bet tomorrow we'll have a stomach ache" I say.

"I agree. We've eaten a lot of candy. Well, at least we're skipping school tomorrow if we get sick." She confirms.

"My mother will kick me out anyway. One day she made me go to school with chicken pox and I infected the class"

"Really?" She stared in surprise.

"Yeah, but the teacher sent me home and she threatened my mother."

"Well, for the first time in my life I've heard of a teacher who actually cares about the health of the class."

"Nah, probably she didn't want to be infected." We giggle like little children and we continued to walk, talking about random things and embarrassing episodes of our life. I'm having a great time with the freak. I remember the dates with various members of the crew and they were all the same: cinema, shopping sprees and dinners in expensive restaurants, all paid by me obviously.

With Jillian is different: she doesn't want me to pay for her, we had a discussion at the candy shop because she didn't want me to pay her candy, and she's original. As I said before: this is the best date ever! We arrive at Jill's house, with my great disappointment. Sometimes I would want the power of stopping time.

"Well freak, I had a great time with you today. I hope we can hang out more and soon." I salute her.

"I had fun too." She enters her house "Bye Jack, see you tomorrow"

"Bye Freak."
