Dreams

School

Ali glared at me and did a little hand signal to her group behind her and they all laughed. Jasun looked at her and rolled his eyes at her. I giggled. "Ali, why don't you get James to stop staring at Lilly's tits." Ali glared at me then said okay and started talking to the people behind her. "So I'm having a party tonight." He has party's all the time, I should know he lives right across from me. And a block away from us is where the rest of they're group lives. Even though Lilly's not the 'leader' of the group she has the best house out of everyone. I did have the best house, but I don't have any friends. "Cool." I said waiting for him to walk away and yell, "your not invited loser!" But he didn't. He stood there. Looking at me. "Sit with me on the bus. Get on last and sit in the front." The back was where the popularity click sits, losers sit in the front. He wants to be a loser? "Is this some kind of sick joke?" His eyes got big. "What? No. I'll explain on the bus." Then he went back to Ali. He's lying. It's a pity party, he feels bad so he wants me to come. We used to be best friends, we kissed. And he just left me for them. And now the guilt it catching up to him.

The bus came and everyone at the bus stop waited for the Popularity Click to get on first. Then they lined up. Jasun waited in the back, like he said he would. I rolled my eyes and stood behind him. He sat down in the first seat, but I kept walking. But he grabbed my arm and gently pulled me into the seat. "I guess you forgot about me.' He joked, still grasping my arm. "What do you want. You can't completely ignore me for 2 years and expect me to Fangirl over you." I dug into my bag in search for my iPod. He grabbed my bag, and put it on the floor. Then he looked at the back of the bus and waved to Ali. She looked mad. "Liston, I didn't mean to ignore you. It's just Ali doesn't like you." He pushed my down into the seat so Ali couldn't see us. "I really like you, Mia. I always have." We both say there for a minuet, his hands on my shoulders. "Come over tonight please." I looked at him. His blue eyes sparkling. "I'll think about it. When the bus came to a stop, to pick up another group of kids Jasun kissed my cheek and and went to the back. I couldn't believe it. He likes me. I never thought this would ever happen. He really likes me.

Today was different. Jasun was acting like he liked me all day. First, the bus. Then in art he sat next to me instead of James. Then he made Ali let me sit with the Popularity Click at lunch. Then he put a note in my locker BEGGING me to come over tonight. He even walked me home. When I walked through the door Mindy was shaking her head at me. "Come on, I can't have one day of romance in my life." I said. Taking off my coat and putting it on the chair. "Y'all be carful, remember what he did." Mindy had a thick Texas ascent. But we've learned to understand it. "I know. But he's been so sweet to me today," I pulled the note that he gave me and handed it to Mindy. "I'll be in my room!" I yelled, running upstairs. I grabbed the cardboard box and put it on my bead. When I opened it, it was empty. My dreams jar was gone. No. It had my deepest dreams in their. My parents fighting, I wanted to learn to skateboard, how I wanted all the boys to like me. No. If somone reads it. I started crying. "MINDY!" When I yelled her name my voice cracked. She came into my room with a box of tissues. "What's wrong with y'all? Who hurt you?" I showed her the empty box. I was still sobbing. "Erm. Baby, what was in this box?" I explained to her the whole story behind the jar. "Mia, we will find it. How about I draw a bubble bath for you? And when y'all is getting clean I'll look for it? Okay baby?" I nodded, still sniffling. "But Jasun invited me over.." I started to say, "baby, it's not until 7. It's only 3. You'll be ready." She kissed my

forehead and went to draw my bath. When she closed my door I grabbed my pillow and put it over my face. I screamed, then I got up and jumped up and down. 'He likes me!' I thought, 'he really likes me.'

It was almost 7. But I wanted to be late, just by a little bit. I wanted to look better than I normally do. I was wearing a white pencil skirt with a sequined top. I grabbed my phone and stuffed it into my bra. I waved Mindy goodbye, and shut the door. It was freezing outside, but it would be worth it once Jasun told me how beautiful I looked. I knew he would, because I do. And if he doesn't then ill flirt with James, to get Jasun jealous. I remembered that one of the dreams I put in my dreams jar was, 'Have two boys fight over me.' I thought that wound be romantic. But how could a fist fight be romantic? I knocked on Jasun's door. Not even a second later, Jasun is at the door, inviting me in. "Nobody's here?" I remarked, looking around. "I know," he said, grasping my had. "The party starts at 8. I wanted to talk to you alone, be with you alone. James is upstairs. He's playing video games though." He invited me over. Awe, how cute. "You look perfect." He playing with my skirt. " come say hi to James." He was still holding my hand.

He was still holding my hand in front of James too. "Hey, James." He looked at my body, witch looked fantastic. "Damn. You got hot." He said before turning back to the tv screen.

Jasun glared at him. "Don't say that.
