--------------

---ZOEY POV---

I didn't want to forgive him, but at the same time I wanted to. I think the reason I didn't was because of Beth. I guess I'm just over protective of her or something.

I don't know.  

I told him to meet me, alone, after school in the alley so we could talk things over. I had to see what he had to say for himself.  

He kisses me at recess earlier in the day, storms away making my friend cry then asked for forgiveness, that's how I look at it.

When the bell rang, I quickly collected my stuff and ran out before the crowds got there first. I skipped over to my locker and twisted it open. Bree came over and I slammed my locker shut. We went over to sixth period.

Hours later the "school's out" bell finally rang. I had also went through a silent 7th hour with Bethany and Palmer. School was over for the day! I met up with Bethany and we walked out of the school. It was a cold fall day but still sunny. We boarded the bus and quickly found a seat.

Minutes later the last set of kids got on including Palmer.

The doors shut and the bus started moving. He sat right behind us.......on purpose. I wouldn't talk to him.

I whispered to Bethany that Palmer was behind us and that the seat behind was full. So he actually made an effort just to get close to us, or just me.

"I thought he was mad at you, us," she said burrowing her brow.

"Ya, he was but now he wants me to forgive him," I said.

"And not m-me!" Bethany scream whispered. "He isn't sorry for making me CRY!?"

"I don't know," I answered worriedly. Palmer has some explaining to do.

I looked out the window and noticed the houses. We were a block away from our street. I got up and scooted out. I walked down the aisle with Bethany at my heals followed by Palmer. The bus jerked to a stop.

I walked out and headed to Bethany's house. I got to the door and went in with Bethany. We grabbed a snack in the kitchen and dumped out the stuff in our backpack to get our homework over with. Beth took a seat at the table and started to scribble on a sheet of paper.  

I made up an excuse to go down to the alley to talk with Palmer.

"I gotta go to the bathroom," I said to my friend. Wow, just wow, that was my excuse?

"You know where it is," she said, eyes glued to her paper.

I went back to the front door, put my shoes and coat on, and went out. I ran around the house to the disastrous back yard. 

It was a complete mess. There was what used to be a mini-swing set and a slide that was over grown with vines. The yard was full of weeds. At least there was a high fence so no one could see it.

I went out the tall fence door to the alley. Palmer was there, right in front of me. He stood, planted in front of the door like a watchdog. I backed up.

"So what did you want to tell me?" Palmer asked thoughtfully. He shyly smiled. There was a twinkle in his eye. It was like we were strangers or something. 

Ok, what should I even do? Forgive or don't forgive? I thought it over. He had been always there for me, throughout my life (except for when he left AND when I got arrested when me and Bethany pulled that prank) I couldn't be mad when he had stood by my side through everything. Gave me a home, gave me a cat (even though I HATE), MP3, well, that should be enough.

"Your forgiven," I said.

Palmer's whole face lit up. "Thank you so much, how can I---

"What about Bethany?" I asked cutting in.

"Ummmmmmmmmm," he said suddenly getting uncomfortable.

"Why haven't you said your sorry to her?" I pressed.

----BETHANY POV----

I watched Palmer fidget over Zoey's question.

I had followed Zoe out back. The bathroom was in the corner of the kitchen! She knew it was just to the right of her. She walked to the front door. Why? Something must be up. I knew she was trying to get away so I followed her secretly to the alley.

So here I am watching this conversation go down through the cracks of the wood fence.

Palmer took a step towards Zoey and suddenly leaned in and GAVE. HER. A. KISS on the lips! Zoey's back pressed against the wall.

Eeeewwww!! 

I stood there dumbstruck. I was now jealous. Furiously jealous. That should be me getting kissed, not Zoey!

Zoey was in a shocked, expression. She shoved Palmer away. (Hahaha, I wouldn't do that!) He stumbled backwards.

"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM! You think you can get off the hook if you kiss me?! I'm not MOONING over you! No, no sir, you should be ashamed. Apologize, then we talk, ok!" she screamed at him. Woah.

Palmer then frowned. "Ok, I'll apologize. Give me Bethany," he ordered. Uh oh.

Zoey frowned too. "Fine,"

Dang it! I had to go NOW or they would know that I had been listening!

She was about to open the door when I took of sprinting. She couldn't know that I was eavesdropping! I got around to the front door and swung it open. I could hear they're voices getting closer! I closed the door and bolted up the stairs and went to my room.

Huffing and puffing I flung myself onto my bed.

I laid there for an eternity until I heard the footsteps coming upstairs. Ok, act natural. 

Zoey suddenly came in followed by Palmer.

"Bethany," she said. "Palmer's here to tell you something," 

I turned around into a comfortable position criss-cross. I stared at Palmer waiting for him to tell me something I already know he was going to say. That he's sorry for making me cry.

"Ok, I'm really sorry that I broke your heart......." he said.

"It's ok," I said a little too quickly.

"Um, ok....?" he replied.

There was an awkward silence. I looked to the door and saw Danger stroll in. " 

Danger!" I exclaimed. 

Zoey turned around and picked him up saying: "Oh you Danger! Where have you been!" she cooed.

I was again jealous. She had a pet. I didn't. I couldn't do that, not with Danger, I didn't have my own animal. Plus she practically had a boyfriend. Zoey didn't have parents to order her around too. She had so many things that I didn't! Zoe was just.....different, wait....huh?

"Well, I'm gonna get going," Palmer said walking away. "See ya later Zoey," he said waving at her.

I mentally screamed. PALMER WAS NOT SORRY. He like Zoey! Not me!!
