"Maybe next time. I had classes all day and I was so tired afterwards. But it looked like you had so much fun." "Assuming we get invited again next time. And if we can find a way to all go." Anita said as she plucked a leaf from the tree they stood under. "Oh look who it is." Anita brushed her hair back. Her statement making the other three to look in the direction she was looking. "Jody." Bethany spoke first. "If I talk to her today it would be too soon." "You know, Anita annoyed me but here she is with us." Fay felt the need to remindRelated chapters

"Really?" Lacey asked twirling her fork in Darin's bowl of pasta. "You think that's a good idea? Taking Shawna to prom?" She stood beside him. "Why the hell wouldn't it be?""Well for starters, I didn't think you were going." "No one thinks I'm going.""What about Diana?" She brought another fork full to her mouth. "Bradley and Christopher both want to take her. I was never going to. Besides, I think I should go with Shawna. She's been fun to play with so I'm giving her something she sort of wants." "What if Diana wants you to take her?""Who cares what she wants? And go get your own food and stop eating mine. There's plenty more in the kitchen." "Fine." She licked her lips and left with a sigh. He scoffed. "I'

The very next day, Lacey stood beside her mother while she hurriedly gathered her things from her reading table and dumped them in her black hand bag that matched her black pencil gown. "Mother, I want to ask you something." "What is it sweetness? I'm in a hurry, I'm almost late." She grabbed the bag and walked out of the room. Her shoes thumping as she moved, with Lacey trying to keep up beside her. "Ok. Umm..." She search for the right words. "Umm... Ok...""Spit it out Lacey I'm late." They started down the stairs. "Ok... Ok... Umm... London.""London? Toni?" "Toni.""Parents?" "She's asking.""If they agree then we can dicuss it further." "Thank you." Lola took the bag from her and went out the door. Lucille chuckled. "What?" Lacey asked. "Funny conver

As the summer holiday was about to come to an end, Tom dailed Lacey's number and wedged the phone between his ear and his shoulder while he took the basket of clothes handed to him by the maid. He winked at her and closed his room door. The phone had barely rung when he heard her voice. "Please tell me you're ready to leave tomorrow? Cause I can't wait to see you." "Hi. Sadey is that you?" He chuckled."Very hilarious. Are you ready though?" "In the middle of packing actually. Why are you so excited about me leaving? You wouldn't even be back till next week." "I just want to know that you're there when I get there. You didn't get to say goodbye and I miss you." He chuckled again. "I miss you too. It's too bad Toni still has you all to herself. My dad has this thing the weekend before school starts, and before that my friends

-Tom "I'm sorry Sweet stuff. I won't be coming to school today." Lacey looked at the message with furrowed eye brows. The only thing she was looking forward to today just got cancelled. "Oh my goodness, Lacey!" Fay called out as she approached her.Lacey raised her head with her best fake smile. "Hi Fay. Guys." She noticed the others coming up behind Fay. "Your hair." Fay said after hugging her. "It's so pretty. All curled up.""And in a ponytail again." Anita pointed out as she hugged her and and made way for Lacey to walk up to Bethany. "Hi Bethany.""Hey honey." She tugged lightly on a strand. "Its a new school year. Keep the curls and please stop with the ponytail." Lacey chuckled and looked at her buzzing phone. "No."They all grumbled. Each person giving her reasons to keep her hair the way it was. She smiled to make them think sheWas listening while she read the message she just received. -Tom "My dad has me running around with him. But he'll be leaving tomor

His locker it would seem, had been blocking his view of Lacey. That is the way it looked anyway, considering she just walked out of a class and he just closed his locker. He smiled at the sight of her as she walked towards his direction with her head bent. The second she raised her head, she saw him and instantly turned around. She had no expression on her face when she saw him, she just turned around and kept on walking. He finally found his opportunity, so he chased after her. "Lacey." He called out just before he caught up to her and walked at her pace. She didn't answer, she just kept walking. "Lacey weren't you heading that way." He pointed behind him. "Yes. But I changed my mind.""Why because you saw me?" She didn't answer. He could feel the hostility flooding off her. "I guess you saw my message then." "Yes. I did.""I kind of thought you would reply." "Here's a reply for you Dennis; no. We can't start over.""Lacey don't break my heart like this." He

While Tom waited patiently for Lacey to arrive at the spot he had told her to meet him, he saw Tate walking towards him with a smile plastered on his face and his date under his arm. "Tom." "Hey guys." He smiled. Lacey would split the moment she saw him. "What happened?" He looked at Tate. "Apparently, the movie isn't showing there today. So we decided to come here." "Nice." He looked at his watch, then behind Tate and spotted Lacey coming their way. "Excuse me. I've got to go make a call. I'll stay out of your way. Wouldn't want to be an unplanned third wheel. Nice to see you again Miranda." Lacey's stomach fluttered as she walked, she couldn't bring herself to raise her head. It was supposed to be like the time at the mall. But it felt nothing like that. She was so nervous that she was beginning to feel stiff. Finally she looked up and saw Tom talking to Tate. Her eyes met Tom's and she turned around. There was no way she was doing this. Before s

"So are you sending more songs for us to listen to?" Lacey spoke into her phone while she looked through her books. "Why would I? I've got Darin here with me. I don't need you.""She gasped dramatically at her older brother's words. "How cruel could you get?" He laughed. "I was looking forward to this. I'm always looking forward to it." "Like I said. I don't need you.""Yet. But you will." "Oh yeah? With what?""Darin loses interest real quick sometimes." She ran her hand through her hair. "I know that.""So when he gets tired of choosing your jingles, you'll have to ask me." He laughed. "I think he's already losing interest."See. So you do need me." "Maybe, maybe not.""That screams hope to me." "Yeah whatever." He sighed. "How was working at the hotel today?" "Darin's so lucky. He doesn't have to do this anymore.""Yeah. For now." "For three years. That's a lot of time. And I have to do his work

Tom sat on the hood of his car and rested his back on the windshield with one hand behind his head and the other covering his eyes from the sun's rays. He listened to the music playing from his car and hummed along to it. Tate stood beside him guzzling a bottle of water. Dehydrated from all the running around they had done during practice. "Tom." Tate called when he had emptied the bottle. "Mm hmm.""Get in the car. Let's go." He tossed his gym bag in the back seat "I'm too tired to get up.""Fine then. I'll drive with you sitting out there." Tom chuckled. "Sawyer did that once. Peggy was so scared. She swore she was going to kill me for driving." Tate smirked. "How is he by the way? Haven't seen him in months." "He's good. He came over for half the summer.""Nice." Tom grunted and he slid off the hood. "Hey that reminds me." "What?" He tossed his bag in the back as well and got in."Winstone is throwing a party after the game tomorrow night. You're going to be t

Hands on her hips, a stern look on her face and her friends beside her, she watched Jody walking down the hall among other students. "Jody right?" She got the girl's attention. A smirk taking over the stern look. "Yeah?" Jody walked up to them."You're the witch's friend aren't you?" "I don't know any witch.""Ugh! Lacey." She rolled her eyes. "Oh! I said friend. But that's not remotely true." "What do you mean by that?" Jody folded her arms. "I am Lacey's friend." "You don't have to play that game with me.""I'm not playing." She scoffed. "Yeah. Sure. But, you did see me and my friends by her locker. I know that for a fact." "What are you talking about?""I'm not buying the fake innocence. She saw you" She pointed at one of the girls beside her. "Look at us getting into Lacey's locker, she saw you walk away." Jody wanted to speak, she cut her off. "The day the witch had that locker room incident." J

He didn't hear from Lacey after school and he didn't call her. Instead, he thought he needed to talk to someone older than him to make sense of everything. After all, she's upset with him and he's upset with her. No sense whatsoever. But when Sawyer rubbed his face, and shook his head, he couldn't help wondering why. He just heard the whole story and that was his reaction. Shaking his head and now a chuckle? He was quickly regretting his choice. "I wonder why I didn't just zone out when you started talking." Tom glared at Sawyer's face on his phone. "You're an idiot Tom. You know that?" "What?" "Maybe I should date her. And you stopped therapy." "What is it?!" His patience wearing thin, he chose to ignore those comments. "What did she tell you?" "The therapist?" "No! Lacey. When she said she didn't want Tate or the school to know about you guys, what was her reason?" His forehead creased. "Opinions. Something about opinions. What ab

After not particularly enjoying the party, since his mind was filled with thoughts of opposites and things in common, he went home. The silence of the house could have been soothing if he wasn't so consumed by what the two girls had said to him. The more he thought about it, he got restless. So he called Lacey. She picked on the first ring. "You are lucky I'm awake." "Damn it! I didn't even think of that." He clicked his tongue and rubbed his forehead. "How was it?" "It was okay. A lot of people asked about you. Kept telling them you were busy." "Wouldn't they expect me to be out with you next time?" "Then I'll tell them something else." He didn't wait for her to reply. "We're different." That wasn't how he wanted to bring it up. "Of course we're different. I'm a girl, you're a boy." "No. I mean, like we have nothing in common." "Ohhhh! Someone put it in your head didn't they? You're a little late to this party."

How hard could it be to pay attention in class? Cory shook his legs impatiently, trying desperately not to call out to his friend and tell him what he had heard. When the bell finally rung and students got to their feet, he wanted to go to him and report the news. But damn it they were still in class and who knows who might hear what. When they were out of class, he went to him. Joe following behind them, as if he knew something was up. Almost every time they talked they had to look over their shoulders, and this time was no different. After all, they started a fire that could have spread further than it had. "They aren't searching for anyone." Cory blurted out. They each looked around, though students were walking all around, in their own worlds. Who would care to listen to their conversation? "What are you talking about?" Their friend asked, Joe listened with crossed arms. "The fire." He whispered the phrase. "They aren't searching for a culprit." Co

"Enjoying the table Lacey?" She planted her hands on her hips. The group fell silent. Lacey cast her eyes down. It's all part of the getting it over with process right? "You had these two fighting." Abby stated. "So in the end I was right. I heard you've been together for a while. She did steal you from me!" The students around heard that. Tom scoffed. "It was after the kiss in front of the class." "So what? You are under her spell!" Everyone definitely heard that. "The little witch!" Of course he was under her spell. He's crazy about her. "Did you hear me say it was after the kiss in front of the class?" Tom got up, jaw clenched, clearly getting angry. "Do I need to repeat it?" "Bu-" "It was after the kiss in front of the class!" He yelled. He too knows how to get everyone's attention. Lacey bent her head to hide her smile. "You know very well why I broke up with you. So this crap has to stop.

He hadn't gotten the chance to talk to Tom yet. He saw the videos and heard it from the guys but he hadn't talked to him yet. Seeing them standing there like he hadn't been asking her out weeks ago made him so angry. So angry at the thought of Tom doing this to him. Ready to hit something, something he had been waiting to do since he found out, he slammed his locker shut and stumped over to the new couple by Lacey locker. Tom saw him and his smile faded away. "Good. You see me. That's a perfect reaction." Tate punched him. Tom bent over, holding his left side below his ribs where the punch had landed. "You took her right from under me!" He went in for another punch but Tom dodged it, still bending. A crowd was forming. Lacey had stepped back. "She's not yours to take!" Tate hit him again. Tom can't fight his best friend. Not when his reason for being angry is right... ish. "You knew. You knew I- and you do this?!" He hit him. Over and over while the stude

Lacey pulled out the band that held her hair up the moment they drove away from the school. Becket glanced at her, worried. "Are you okay?" She was hiding her feelings again. Looking out the window, she answered, "No." She felt numb. The entire school had watched her call for Tom and then seen them together. Why had she shouted? She could have just called his cell phone. Now they aren't a secret anymore. The whole school really should have burnt down. With Lacey gone, all eyes were on him. It didn't help that of course, a few phones were out and obviously there are now many videos and photos of them. The silent crowd was beginning to chatter. Unlike Lacey, he could handle the crowd. He held his head high and walked back to his car. He looked at Shocked David and George standing in front of his car watching him and spoke before they could. "Move." "Dude wh-" "Move. Don't make me ask again." He cut George off. Damn it. He wanted everyone to

Lacey stared at Becket who wouldn't stop smirking as he drove her to school. The motorcycle was not needed. "We would have made things better ourselves." There was no way Marvin and Darin would get that involved in her relationship with Tom. So who else if not him? "What are you talking about?" He couldn't stop smirking, his lips twitching. "You and Sadey. Getting Tom and I to talk." "What? Marv-" "No." "You're right." He sighed. "You both looked so sad. At least he did anyway. Always hiding your feelings." He stated. "I asked Sadey if you were fine and she said no. So. I thought you know... It took a lot to get her to agree." "Thanks. You might have helped before. But it wouldn't have taken anything to end that call the moment I knew it was him." "I'm glad you di-" His phone rang and he tapped on his bluetooth earpiece. "Good morning ma'am."

He sat in his living room glaring at the TV. All his questioning and she hadn't said a word. Not a thing. The thought of it made him want to punch something. But his hands were already hurting. He looked at them and Becket's words came back to him. Why would he say that? He got to his feet. Why should he go back to Tate. What could Tate possibly say? He grabbed his car keys and walked out of the house. Why was he even doing what Becket said? "So you guys just kissed? After that life threatening threat?" He asked when he got the chance. Both boys sitting in Tate's game room. "Well not exactly." Tate answered.Lacey found the nearest empty class after meeting with the guidance counsellor and was pacing. Her forehead creased in thought. The girls were still busy trying to explain why they had been unable to help her with Abby. It was clear and obvious to her that Jody played a part in it. She was in the locker room after all and she came up with the game idea. The stupid
