Chapter 100 End of a Time 2 (1/2)
In the classroom the situation was even worse, besides Joseph, all Jake's classmates 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 shelling 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 finishing 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 class.
But this year was different, Eva now had a few acquaintances from cooking class 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 sponsorship 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.”
