Chapter 3-Stand Up

"Hurry up!!" Jared shouts from downstairs.

"I'm coming!! HOLD UP!!" I scream back furiously, pulling on my knee high boots over my skinny jeans. I run a hand through my messy brown hair, trying my best to tame it. I grab my bag and phone, flicking off the radio and sprinting downstairs.

Thanks to my flipping alarm clock, it woke me up at 8:15, leaving me only near 5 minutes to get ready.

I grab an apple, shouting a hasty goodbye to my parents before rushing out the door and into Jared's car. I buckle up and he zooms off.

I take a deep breath and take a bite of my Granny Smith apple. I glance over and Jared and see a scowl on his face. I can't help but smile. He didn't even get time to change. He just hastily put some jeans on and not bother with a shirt. His hair is all messy and I can't help but let out a giggle.

"What?!" Snaps Jared, not soaring me a glance.

"You look so demented." I chuckle, trying not to choke on my apple.

"Not my beeping fault." He hisses, his voice low and dangerous. I frown slightly. Even when we where late, he's never normally this mad. He has is 'shut-up-or-I'm-gonna-kill-you' tone on.

"What's up? You should be teasing me, not scowling at me." He shakes his head, his face softening. "Jared?" He doesn't say anything. Instead he pulls up to the school. I open the door and look back over at him. He gives a me a tight smile and I return it. I climb out and slam the door shut as he drives away. I start trotting towards the school, frowning. What's up with Jared.

"You know, frowning gives you wrinkles." I look up and in looking into the blue eyes of Ashton.

"You know stalking earns a beating." I mumble, not in the mood to talk. Great, Jared's mood has shifted onto me.

"Ouch. What's up with you?" I look up at Ashton. I've barely talked to him, and now he's considering me as a friend?! Someone say weird?

"Nothing. Gotta go." I say quickly, hurrying off to my locker. I don't dare to look back.

I twist the knob back and forth, until it finally swings out. I grab my books and place them in my bag, before slamming it shut.

"Oooh. Someone's got a temper today." Avery sings. I turn to see my three friends walking up to me.

"Jared's acting all funny and I don't know why." I whine, stepping up to them and walking down the hallway.

"Just give him time. He'll be alright." Maria says with a wave of her hand.

"Did you know, once my family went to a restaurant and we ate meat. And then later, by brother started sneezing but I didn't think it had to do anything with the meat." We all stare at her blankly, as she smiles.

"Okay then." I mumble.

"So anyway, did you hear about how Layla, one of Rachel's pet dogs is going out with Trenton Thatcher!" Maria gasp, grinning. I hear a tiny sigh come from Avery. I glance over at her, and see a tiny frown on her face. Hmm...why is he upset. Is it because Trenton is going out with Layla...which means...

"Oh my gosh!" I shout, earning not only weird looks from my friends, but people surrounding us to. I pull off a sheepish smile and shrink down a bit.
