He made her smile and she mutually wrapped her arms around him and said with a chuckle in her voice, "Hey there, Keller. You, um, okay there?"
Nice kid. He had really grown on her since the beginning of the year. At the start of the year, he had just been Anya's boyfriend and the guy who was eternally stamping on her little lion Penelope's heart, but a lot had changed in a year. He had made her team and shown that he was a dedicated player who was willing to do what he had to do for the people he cared about, which was serious brownie points with Selina. She saw him get his heart trampled on himself and handle it better then she ever could have.
For some reason, Jake couldn't bring himself to let go of Selina just yet. He was quiet for a minute before finally pulling away and leaning back to get a good look at the redhead. "Yeah, I'm okay," he answered her finally, half-smiling. It was then that he realized he had no idea why he wanted to talk to Selina. He'd kinda just been... overcome with the... desire... to hug her. Was that weird? Possibly. But... oh well.
He bit his lip, looking down, then back up as someone caught his eye. Alexa. The girl was kinda growing on Jake, to be honest. A smile came back to his face and he looked back at Selina. "I wanted to say thanks," he told her with a nod. "You probably don't realize what you did for me this year. And..." He wasn't good with feelings. But he really wanted to let Selina know how much she meant to him. "And you should. But I don't think I can say it. So..." He hugged her again, letting go after just a second.

Make more memories to tide himself over for however long it took before more.
"Do behave Keller when I'm gone..." he said said with a smirk as he teased the fourth year. Jake would be an upperclassman officially next term and he'd need to step up as one of the older, more responsible lions to set an example for the younger ones.
Jake hadn't even thought about anyone else as he'd made his run for the Quidditch Captain, so the chuckle surprised him. Looking up, his lips moved into a sheepish smile as he looked at the Prefect. Maybe it was just Jake being annoyingly sentimental, but he suddenly wanted to spill his thoughts about Gideon, too. Jake looked up to him a lot. And not just because he was a prefect... but he was an incredible chaser, too. And an all-around good guy. Jake wouldn't mind being like him in his seventh year.
"Will do," he promised with a smile. "Congratulations on graduating, too. And... good luck with whatever you plan on doing." He'd miss him. There was no use denying that.
Thankfully, Jake got distracted before he hugged Gideon or something. Kurumi, then Penelope showed up. He gave a little wave to both of them, not sure if he wanted to say anything. He didn't know Kurumi very well, but he looked up to her too. And Penelope... was his best friend. And they'd see each other this summer. So it wasn't like he needed to give her a dramatic goodbye.
Looking around, trying to refrain from embarrassing himself, his eyes caught sight of Nearly Headless Nick. Jake hadn't talked to the ghost much, but... why not? "Hey, Sir Nicholas," he said with a smile and a wave. "How're you?" |
