Calm down Ashlynne, your over reacting don't let your jealousy get to you. So what if he waved at MIranda, it was just a friendly gesture, right? I mean at least he didn't wink. Okay I'm a little jealous, but who wouldn't be, it's Miranda every girl envys her. She is the prettiest girl in school, every guy loves her. I guess I understand why Jade told me that, Jade and Brandon use to be best friends, they where inseperatable. I moved in when I was ten, and had to wedge myself into there friendship. When we turned fifteen Jade's parents got into a nasty divorce, he became depressed and quiet.

Then, Brandy moved in, she asked Jade out and he politely turned her down with a simple no.

Brandy boiled with anger and ran to Brandon, she told him that Jade said that 'She was a ugly troll but not as ugly as her evil twin brandon.' and a few other choice of words that I don't want to repeat. Well of course Brandon got mad at jade and yelled at him, Jade denied what Brandy said, but Brandon didn't believe him. Here we are two years later, Brandon and Jade are still not perfect friends but they're trying, and Brandon's cousin keeps annoying Jade.

I sat there on my bed thinking about my life. I have the most perfect boyfriend, and the most best friend a girl can have, besides the lie he just told me I'll have to talk to him about that. Life is great. I let out a happy sigh and went to the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror, my face was covered in make- up, my long brown hair was curly and I was wearing a dress with leggings. "Ick" I said to myself. I never use to look like this. I use to be a tom boy. I also use to think I was the brave girl who could fight dragons. Then, when I started going out with Brandon, he asked me why I don't wear more make-up or why my hair is always in a pony tail, so I changed for him. 

I looked in the mirror again and started scrubbing at my face to get the make up off. I changed into jeans and a t-shirt, and threw my hair in a pony tail. I ran down stairs and grabbed an apple. My mom was in there doing dishes. Her brown hair was going gray and her blue eyes looked tired. "Hey there's my baby girl, you look a lot better like that." I ignored her and grabbed my skate board and a apple, "See ya." I yelled before I closed the door. The streets are dark and it's cold but I don't care. I love skate boarding at night because, no is at the skate park. I sat on top of the jump and ate my apple. I heard another skate board and looked up. There was Jade looking down at me with his big blue eyes. "Mind if I join ya?" He asked in a cheerful voice.

"Not at all." I replied while patting the empty spot next to me. He sat down next to me and, ran his finger through his shaggy dark brown hair. I had to admit Jade is pretty cute especially under the street light. "Hey Ashlynne."

"Hello Jade." He reached over and grabbed my apple, he took a big bite, "Jade!" I squeled

"Pay back." He said laughing, I laughed with him. Of course he is getting back at me for taking a bite out of his apple, he always has to get his revenge. "You look different." He said. I looked up at him and for that one mil- second our eyes met and I felt all warm inside, I quickly looked down, "I am not wearing any make- up." I grumbled 

 "Oh really? I like you with out make-up a lot better." I blushed. Then I remembered that he lied to me about Brandon and my smile went away, "Hey what's wrong? If it was the make-up comment I didn't mean to insult you." He said with concern in his voice.

"Why did you lie to me, Jade!?" I bursted out with anger.

"What did I lie about?" Oh the innocent Jade looking so confused, bull crap he knows what I'm talking about.

"You lied about Brandon he didn't wink at miranda he just waved!" I yelled my patients was wearing. 

"I didn't lie, he is the one lying." How can he say that with such a calm voice?

"Ya right, do you know what Jade? I am done with you lying!" I roughly grabbed my skate board and rode home. I ran upstairs to my room and slammed the door. Why would he lie? Ugh! Why can't Jade and Brandon be friends again? I went over and blasted my radio. Ugh, just perfect, Skater Boi by Avril Lavinge was playing, i quickly turned off the radio and grabbed my ipod. I jammed the ear phones in my ears and blasted my music. I tried to tune out the world with Aerosmith, but it was hard. Eventually, I just cried myself to sleep. I woke up early, and got ready for school slowly. When I heard the door bell ring, I sprinted to the door. I opened it, and Brandon was leaning against the door frame. "Ready babe?" 

"Yop, lets go!" Ever since Brandon and I have been going out he had been picking me up for school. I walked over to the car and hopped into the passenger seat. He drives his parents sport car, they never use it. We drove to school in silence. When we arrived in the school parking lot, Brandy ran over to us. She had a big smile on her face. "Brand, Ashlynne I have a question!" She was literally bouncing up and down.

"What?" Brandon said patiently.

"Do you guys want to go on a double date?" Brandy asked hesitantly.

"With who?" I asked

She started thumbing the hem of her shirt, " Uh well me and Jade." She burst out in happiness, but with caution at the same time. With jade? Great just great, how can I say no? I looked at Brandy, she looked so happy, "Sure" I sighed , I looked over at Brandon and saw him stiffen and his eyes tighten with anger. 

"Great 7:00 Friday!" Brandy ran off in excitement. Brandon however was not happy. We walked to class in silence. He gave me hug goodbye and then hurried and walked off. I walked into class and barely made it before the bell rang. I didn't talk to Jade during class. When the bell rang to go I quickly walked out and saw Brandon waiting for me. I don't know why but Brandon looked really happy. We walked to class and he talked on and on about himself. 

My 2nd period class also went by really fast. At lunch I ignored Jade and just listened to Brandon, talk. "Oh Ashlynne, I forgot I can't take you home today I have to stay after school." Brandon said with disappointment in his voice.

"Oh that's okay, um I'll just walk." I tried to say with some enthusiasm in my voice. Great it has been raining all day and I forgot to bring a jacket.

"Thanks for understanding babe." He said with a smile.

I smile back and mumbled, " No problem." Then looked down at my food. I was hoping that it would stop raining by the time school ended, but that dream didn't come true. I was raining even harder then it was this morning. I laughed sarcastically, just my luck. I walked out of the school building and into the ice cold rain. It was freezing and it pelted my skin like icicles. I have only been walking for five minutes and I was soaked. I wish I had brought my jacket. I was busy moping in the rain when I heard a truck pull up to the side walk, i looked over to see who it was. There was Jade in his old truck. He cranked down the window, "Get in." He said in a demanding voice.

"Excuse me, but I believe that you should ask and not demand." I said back with Hatred and sarcasm in my voice.

"Fine, Ashlynne do you want a ride? If you say no, than I will come out and get you. So you choose." I looked at the truck, it seem so warm I wanted to say yes, but I won't surrender yet I was still mad at him. I figured he was bluffing, "No." I said stiffly and firmly. I turned my back at him and walked away. I heard him sigh. Ha ha Jade I won, but I was wrong, because Jade picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, "Jade put me down!" I kicked and screamed, but he just laughed. I was boiling over with anger.

"Gosh Ashlynne you are so stubborn." He gently set me down in the passenger seat. I crossed my arms and stared out the from window frustrated. He just laughed again and cranked up the heat, I was so close to slapping this boy right in the face. Yet it was so warm in the truck it felt like I was a popsicle melting. "Are you warm enough?" Jade asked.

I didn't answer him, I'm so freakin mad at this kid. He let out a frustrated sigh, "Ashlynne I'm sorry Okay?" I turned to look at him, "Apology accepted and yes I am warm enough thank you."

"Your welcome."
