Attention Jade Tate (Rewrite)

Chapter 32

I wish I could say that was the end of the story, that I forgot all about Jade and I lived happily ever after with Darleen. I mean it would have been a good ending, right? Underdog wins warrior race, kisses the girl, and gets ambushed by a bunch of friends she didn't even know she had. You know, sounded pretty epic to me.

Sadly, or hmm, well you will have to see. Maybe not so sadly, the story isn't over just yet.

Even I thought the story was over. You see it's been months since Jade and I have spoken. She really isn't my friend anymore. She hangs with a new crowd now. People much more her style I guess. They are always talking loudly and laughing. People who always have to be the center of attention. The ones who know all the drama that goes on. Yeah... That's who she is now. Or maybe, that's who she's always been.

It's summertime now. I passed Bio with a B+ so mom let me go with Darleen to her beach house. We aren't alone. Wini and Demarcus are with us, they are dating now. It's funny, but they go perfectly together. They even won the cutest couple of the year. Archer is also with us with his new girlfriend, get this, Parece! I don't hate Archer as much as I did when he was with Jade. He's okay I guess, but I still think he has a dumb face. Hehe.

With Jade not in the picture anymore, Darleen and I have been living happily ever after. She really is perfect.

Here is what you guys missed, I learned how to drive for real this time and got my learner's permit. Oli has a boyfriend, Oli has a boyfriend, Oli had a boyfriend hehe. I like to tease her about it. She always gets all red in the face when I do, I guess she gets that from me.

My mom has planned our road trip around Texas. We will be gone for like two weeks. Darleen says she might come down to Texas just to see me. Apparently, her family owns a ranch down there, because of course, they do. Darleen's family and I well... we don't get along that well. I mean I can get along with Darleen's parents just fine, even her cousins. But her aunts, her uncles, her grandparents, not so much. Ever since I blew up on them, they all have a sour taste in their mouth about me. I've even heard them say that I am just using Darleen for her money they keep trying to convince Darleen to dump me. It has sort of put a rift between Darleen and her family. They are not as close as they once were.

Anyways! I was outside at the beach house just trying not to get a sunburn. Parece was laying out next to me. Darleen was grilling with Archer, and Wini and Demarcus were horsing around in the water. The sun was high in the sky and it was pretty toasty outside.

"Babe, how many you want!" Archer called to Parece.

"Just two." She was talking about the sausage he was making for hotdogs.

"This is nice isn't it?" Parece turned to me.

"Yeah," I said dreamily staring at Darleen.

Darleen winked at me which caused me to blush.

Parece giggled, "You two are hopeless for each other."

"I can't help it. She's perfect." I say.

"Hey so long as I get to come to these beach houses, she's perfect in my eyes too." She playfully nudged me.

I laughed.

"Hey wifey, you two talking about me?" Darleen walked over to us.

"Maybe," I smirked up at her.

She outstretched her hands to me and helped me up off the floor. Then she pulled me into her and kissed me.

"Mmm, it's been too long since I kissed you." she smiled against my lips.

"Really? Because I am pretty sure you kissed me about 10 minutes ago." I teased.

"Exactly! Way too long." She kissed me again.
