The New Beginning

Chapter 20-Dibs (Jamie's POV)

"Okay, Wy is Alex so pissed at Clair? I got the pleasures of hearing a 20 minute rant about her last night when he showed up at my house!" Tray exclaimed.

"Cause, yesterday after school Dustin asked Clair to the dance." I explained

"Are you serious? That is so stupid. He knew Dustin called dibs. Even if she would have said no, he still couldn't have went with her." He explained plainly like it was no big deal.

"He called WHAT???" I yelled standing up from the couch. Shock crossed his face.

"Dibs, as in its your no one else can have it unless you give it up. We do it all the time." He called getting a confused look on his face.

"Are you serious? You call dibs on us like we are the last cookie on the plate do ya? Was I just a dibs too?" I said anger boiling in my blood. Did guys really just you know call dibs on girls. I mean I knew Dustin did the first day but I thought that was just some kind of joke. Was he serious?

"No, I didn't call dibs I...."He said as I cut hime off.

"What am I not pretty enough to be 'dibs worthey'? Or did you just think that you know no guy would like me because I'm not perfect is that it?I asked my face turning red.

"I didn't call dibs because I think it is stupid. Every guy should have an equal chance at getting the girl. I was up for the challenge of any guy that tried to date you." he said now standing to searching through my eyes. "Your on your period aren't you?"

I stood there stunned. Did he seriously just ask me If I was on my period? "Yes, but how is that any of your business?" I asked the anger building up again.

"I'll go get the Funions and chocolate from the kitchen. I know right now your just going to pick a fight, and I think you just need someone to cuddle with."he said causing me to blush. Only him would say that.He gave me a kiss on the forehead and walked out to the kitchen. I sat there smiling like an idiot like I always did when he kissed my forehead. Now that I think about it he never kissed me on the lips. It is always on the forehead. Soon, I saw him come bag with a bowl of Funions and a bowl of Hersey kisses.

" you know if you feed a person a Hersey kiss you have to kiss them." I said mischievously.

"Gladly," he said smiling reaching over and putting an unwrapped Hershey's kiss in my mouth. I smiled and put one in his. Before he could lean over to kiss me, I took him by surprise and jumped up off the couch and began running out the room laughing like an idiot. I felt footsteps follow me and two arms wrap around my waist picking me up.

"Put me down" I managed to say through my laughs. Soon I was standing on the ground with arms around me pulling me close. I could smell his deodorant nicely. "You know the rules" I replied to his smug smile about my sad attempts to break from his grasps.

"Rules are rules" he said leaning down and giving me a soft kiss on the forehead.

"That doesn't count." I said looking at him.

"And why not?" He said a smile tugging at his lips innocently.

"Cause that's not a kiss!" I said said raising my eyebrows. "This is a kiss." I finished as I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his lips.

Shock crossed his face as a smile formed. "What was that for?" He asked with his goofy little grin.

"Just showing you how it's done!" I smiled innocently. Financially escaping his grasp and running for the couch and swiftly being swooped off of my feet. I was now being held bridal style. "Put my down" I laughed. Soon, I was flying through the air onto the couch. Traycan crawled up next to me and wrapped his arms around my body, sat up and pulled me onto his lap. He kissed my deeply and I wrapped my hands around his neck. Neither one of us pulled away. We sat there making out for who knows how long. Eventually, we both had to breathe. When we both pulled away, wicked smiles curves across our faces.

"That is how it is done."he said reaching over to unwrap another Hershey's kiss. We continued this trend for about an hour. Finally, we were out of Hershey's kisses. So, we decided just to sit and cuddle. It felt natural. I liked having his arms wrapped around me and I loved his smell. I loved the little things he did like play with my hair. I love him. Then, shock hit me. Did I seriously think that I loved this boy?

My thoughts were interrupted by his next question. "So are you going to the dance Friday?"

"Yeah, I was planning on it." I replied.

"So are you going with me?" He asked.

"Don't remember being asked so unless I get asked then no wasn't planning on it." I answered.

"We'll I figured since you were my girlfriend?" He said happily.

"I still like being asked you know?" I smiled an all knowing grin. I watched as he got up and got on one knee."

"Jamie, would you give me the pleasure of taking you to the dance?" He said fake tears running down his face.

"Umm, I don't know. My boyfriend might not like that too much."I joked.

"I think he would be okay with it."

"Then, yes. I would love to go to the dance with you!" I said in a British accent causing us both to fall into a fit of giggles again.

"Well, I call dibs on taking you to homecoming" he said an evil smile on his face. This was one dibs I was okay with. I loved this boy. Just like I loved this Dibs.....
