Chapter 100 End of a Time 2
In the cla.s.sroom the situation was even worse, besides Joseph, all Jake"s cla.s.smates avoided talking to him not to get on the bad side of the teachers, everyone in the room knew that Jake was a little chased.
What was good is that the Elite school was a private school, so the teachers had to be fair in applying and correcting the tests, otherwise Jake would hardly be still the one with the best grades.
Jake as usual in his house received the newspaper and an order with a poster of the photos made in Eric"s final, Eric"s report was so complete about the Elite team that was the national champion and about Jake that was the MVP too, which was sold in several states of the country and not just in Miami.
And with Clara and Tiffany sh.e.l.ling out a little compensation the cover photo of Jake was full of announcements from both companies, this has helped to further improve sales across the country and further consolidate the name brands in Miami that newspaper readers have they remembered Jake.
After all, a young man who achieved several achievements to the city in two years is hardly remembered, this left the Elite school president very satisfied and happy to have hired Jake for his team, he received the information that Jake had been the main responsible for the victory at the final.
In fact out of respect for the school that Jake did not take off his uniform at the time of the photo to increase the advertising of the companies of Clara and Tiffany, how the school paid for him to be there Jake also considered them a sponsor.
Now Jake"s last concern before finis.h.i.+ng Middle School was that this year he would have a special birthday party for his mother.
Eva was someone who was a bit depressed before and did not have many friends, so every year she asked Jake to make a simple commemoration with just the two of them in the family.
Jake also thought it was cool since by the time it"s your mother"s birthday you can not have a party in another country like him since it"s right in the middle of cla.s.s.
But this year was different, Eva now had a few acquaintances from cooking cla.s.s and was close friends with Clara, Tiffany, and Anna, so Jake would not give up having a party this year, besides, Jake wanted to give a gift a car to his mother this year.
In this last year Jake always came receiving the money of the sponsors.h.i.+p of the companies and also of the school, and already gave to gather close to 400,000 dollars, Jake had some plans for this money and as he did not know what his mother still wanted him to buy a car that is not so expensive and that it can not deny since it is useful to them.
Although it did not happen in this life Jake remembered trying to give a beautiful watch to his mother in his past life, it cost close to ten thousand dollars and Jake had joined with great difficulty and then Eva refused the gift and forced Jake to return.
So he always had to think of something his mother would like and she would not return, but Jake would use this gift to get a clue to what she wanted.
Jake knew Eva had long had some kind of dream, but her mother was someone who died of depression in her past life hiding her suffering with a smile on her face, so he knew that Eva could not find out.
But even if Jake knew his mother very well it was difficult for him to imagine that Eva"s dream was to have a restaurant, the reason for this was that he thought his mother hated restaurants for working until she died of stress in one.
It was only a matter of time before Jake found out, he asked Anna to do whatever he asked her to treat him as his grandson, to discover Eva"s desire, and Jake thought it was only a matter of time before Anna found out.
Jake decided to make this surprise party at Anna"s house so her mother did not suspect anything, Jake even with the help of Anna made all the sweet and savory feasts, and still makes the cake herself, Anna was always impressed with the skills of Jake in the kitchen.
Some things he knew better than herself that he had worked many years as a professional, Jake also invited and confirmed the presence of everyone, with Jake knew his hand he invited only his female friends because he knew that Eva was uncomfortable around other men.
So in Eva"s birthday, Jake woke up early as he always did and had a hearty breakfast, when Eva woke up and saw the breakfast remembered that it was her birthday.
"Happy birthday mom"
"Thank you, son, with so much going on I had even forgotten that the day had come."
"You may even forget, but I will not, after breakfast I"ll take you to a cool place."
"Do not need Jake, you know full well that I like the simple things."
"I know, it"s going to be pretty simple, it"s just to remember that day."
So they ate breakfast and then they packed up and left, Jake called a taxi and gave an address, Eva was a little suspicious about what was this surprise of after a while they stopped in a very beautiful studio.
Seeing it was a studio Eva was really surprised, nothing came in her mind of surprise related to a photography studio.
"What did we come here to do, Jake?"
"I said, we came to make some memories, as you do not like parties very much I thought it would be nice to take some photos just the two of us and so save that special day."
Eva really liked this idea and this gift was something simple and also quite special, in fact, Jake had thought to do this for a long time, soon he would be more like an adult than with a child.
Despite having several pictures of trips together and also of basketball compet.i.tions, they did not have many pictures with only Jake and his mother, and he remembered that this was one of the things Eva said that he regretted not having done for Jake in his other life.
Besides, Jake knew his mother was smart and knew him well, so she should already be suspicious that Jake was doing something for her birthday, so he decided to do it first before the party.
This was a photo studio that took pictures of various outfits from various backgrounds that included historical scenery or just landscapes, it became very famous after a few years, but now it was still easy for Jake to schedule a few hours.
So they spent all day taking several pictures with different scenery and clothes, Jake felt it was worth it when he saw his mother smiling at the thought of what clothes to choose and which scenarios to choose.
After spending a few hours taking the photos they decided to end the section of photos, after a few weeks the studio would make a beautiful alb.u.m and send them home.
Since Jake had expected Eva to like it enough and the photo section was slow, he marked Eva"s party to start the afternoon, so he looked at the clock and saw that everyone should have arrived by now.
"Mom, are we going to stop by Anna"s house before the day is over?"
"Of course my son, that"s a good idea."
At that hour Eva could not imagine that Jake was still planning to have a party for her after all the day had already been very special today.
So when they arrived at Anna"s house Jake stayed a little behind and Eva opened the door. "
"" Surprise. "" ""
When she saw several of her friends were in beautiful dresses and behind her friends had a large table with cake and several other things, hanging on top had a banner saying "Happy Birthday Eva".
So Jake had successfully managed to make a surprise party for his mother, there was no way Eva was going to be angry seeing Jake had all this work and even had a little party just by calling the people closest to her.
It was a happy day and Eva had fun chatting with her friends, they all liked to hear the surprise that Jake had made for her before they came to the party, even Anna who did not know was surprised, she thought he would take Eva to a restaurant or something simpler just to pa.s.s the time.
But for Anna, just what Jake did before the party was enough for Eva to have an unforgettable birthday before the party, and although everyone was talking about him, Jake was outside Anna"s house.
Although he had a good relations.h.i.+p with all the people who had come today was Eva"s day, not Jake"s, so Jake just kept congratulating himself and then pacing to let his mother and the others have their conversations.
As everyone in the house knew how Jake was no one cared about this, but only Anna knew that Jake was not just walking around and was also organizing the last gift of the day for Eva.
So after everyone had celebrated enough, even Tiffany and Clara who were quite busy had managed to relax enough it was time to end the party.
As soon as they opened the door the truck had arrived with the last present, it was a car that Jake had bought from Eva and that already had the doc.u.ment in her name, it was easy to do this with the help of a lawyer like Oliver.
