- Jane -

2nd Grade

"You will never catch me Laden!" Screamed Jane with joy as she ran across the playground, playing tag with Laden. She darted around and hid behind the slide, giggling with joy. I heard nothing... I laughed and turned around to look behind me... nobody was there. I grinned. I turned back around, and found myself face to face with Laden. He grinned like a mad man and tackled me to the ground.

"That's not how you play tag Laden! You don't tackle people! You just TAG them!" Said Jane with a grin, tagging him back before running away from him before he could tag her back.  Soon Laden caught up with her, he hugged her.

"We will be best friends forever." He said fiercely, holding out his pinky. She smiled at him.

"Forever." And she looped her pinky with his, and they promised...

5th Grade

"Where did he go?" Jane narrowed her eyes at Jamie, Laden's best friend. He rolled his eyes.

"I don't know. Just because you already found me, doesn't mean that you will ever find him, or me... I don't even know where he is... He is the hide and seek king." Jane's eyes were terrifying. "Wow there... i think your eyes are trying to hide Jay Jay" Jane scoffed.

"You are so immature Jamie! And you know that I hate that nick name!" Jamie rolled his eyes and then surpressed a smile. "What's so funny?" Jamie smiled

"Oh, nothing." He snickered a little.

"What's going on??? Jamie!" He laughed.

"HIDE WHILE YOU CAN LADEN! SHE WILL NEVER FIND YOU!" Jamie ran away.

"LIAR!" Jane stormed off after him, leaving Laden without a hiding spot. (Yes, Laden was hiding BEHIND Jane)

"Crap..." Laden ran away to hide behind a tree when a yell echoed across the playground.

"I WILL FIND YOU LADEN BRAG'S! I SWEAR! I WILL!!!!!!!!!"

-Last Day of 5th Grade-

"Promise that you won't dump me for your new friends?" Jane asked Laden after the graduation party. He smirked at her and patted her shoulder.

"Of course Jay Jay... I would never trade you for anybody! You of all people should know that!" She smiled softly...

"I was thinking Laden..."

"Uh oh.. nothing good comes with those words...." She laughed.

"No, its fine... I was just thinking... everything is going to be so different when we go to middleschool... different friends... different teachers... everything will change. What if we change?" Jane looked at him, her eyes filled with worry. Laden just smiled down at her.

"You won't change... Just promise me that you won't turn into one of those diva drama queens ok? If you become popular, I'll be happy for you, but only if you don't become a popular because of the wrong reasons... ok?" He moved his face so that she could see his expression. I looked away.

"Laden, you know me... You know that i despise those girls... if I ever become one by some chance... and that is a big IF ... I give you the right to smack me upside the head with your binder... don't ever let me become on of those girls... please!" He smiled knowingly.

"I half want you to become one so I can smack you." He gave me a lopesided grin. She frowned.

"Promise me Laden... Promise."

"I promise."

"But do you mean that?" He frowned.

"Of course I do."

"Then really promise." He thought for a moment, then smirked and held out his pinky.

"I pinky promise. I, Laden Brag's, promise never to let Jane Silard become a nosy, annoying, mean bitc-"

"Ok! Laden I get it! You promise!" She grinned and looped her pinky with his... "Thank you..." He smiled at her.

"I would do anything for you Jane... you know that... right?" She smiled at him.

"Of course." He looked as though he were thinking. His phone rang and he looked at his screen.

"I have to go..." I frowned.

"Ok... Bye..." They moved towards the exit. But Laden stopped at the doors leading outside.

"Wait. I want to try something." Before I had a chance to reply, he kissed her cheek. "Have a good summer Jane..." And left me standing in the door way of the school, holding my cheek and staring after the car and Laden.
