DEVONS POV -
I woke up to someone turning on the shower.
Groaning and stretching I come to the realisation that Jake is in the shower, probably should've already known that.
I try to go back to sleep but it's like the noise of the water hitting his skin is stuck on a loop in my head.
~~~
Jake finally steps out of the bathroom, his hair messy and extra curly yet dark, with a towel wrapped dangerously low around his waste.
I notice the bruises all over his back.
oh shit. I did that.
Devon : Oh my god, your back. I'm sorry, does it hurt?
and then I remember why.
Jake : no.
He seems very... timid.
Did I scare him? Did I remind him of his dad?
He dropped his clothes on the way back into the bathroom.
Devon : Here-
Jake : I'm fine!
he's snappy..
Devon : sorry.
He went into the bathroom locking the door.
He came out and then I realised what he was wearing.
It was the boys uniform?
Did I do that? I didn't mean to make him self-conscious.
Honestly he did look... okay.
Devon : You looked better with the skirt.
Wait, THAT SOUNDS BAD! Not in a weird way!
I smiled at him.
Jake : Fuck off.
I shut up. 
We have 5 minutes until our next class. Without another word I got up and attempted to leave the room.
Jake : Where are you going now?
Devon : We have English.
Jake : Okay, I'm on my way!
He said it like I was being impatient.
Devon : Don't remember asking you to walk with me.
Jake : Might as well.
I groaned.
Devon : Well hurry up!
I held the door open for him. On his way out he deliberately brushed into me.
What the fuck?!
We walked into English, we were on time as people started flooding the class.
I took my seat, getting surprised by Jake sitting next to me. There's a seat next to Lexy that's open. What's he doing?
Eventually Oliver waltzed in and took his seat next to Lexy.
~~~
Lexy : Ew, poetry.
Jake : I love poetry. 
Devon : Me too-
Jake : I don't give a fuck.
Lexy : Oop-...
Devon : Okay what the fuck is your problem?!
Jake : You know exactly what my problem is!
