We started to get out of the hot tube when I noticed that my bikini top string that was tied around my neck was untied. "Hey, do you need some help?"

I turned to see Jaden standing five feet away from me, staring. I nodded, and he walked over to help me. After he had finished tying the string, we all went inside to change into our night wear. As I got changed in Abigail's bathroom, she changed in her room, and Jaden changed in Shelly's bathroom, she had already had hot pizza on our couch spot ready to be eaten. As we ate and watched Friends, I sat in the middle of the couch with Jaden on my left and Abby on my right. We got to the fifth episode of season 9 when I suddenly felt a hand on my leg. I looked to see Jaden passed out, his head only inches from my head with his hand near my knee. The last thing I remember before falling asleep was him whispering someone's name: Amanda.

In the morning, I woke up to my head on Jaden's shoulder and his head on my head. I felt movement on my head so I closed my eyes again. I felt Jaden's head come off of mine, and I heard him sign.

"Why do you have to be so hard to talk to? Why is it impossible to talk to you now a days? It use to be so easy to talk to you, and now it's so difficult."

I wanted to know who he was talking about. I heard him say last night a name: Amanda. Who's Amanda? I moved a bit and he gasped. I decided that I should get up anyway. I'm pretty sure we're gonna have to get ready for school soon. I acted like I was barely waking up and I sat up. I rubbed my eyes and looked at Jaden. "Huh? Did you say something?"

"Um, no! No I didn't. I was just, uh, trying to wake you up to get ready for school. We have to get there early so we can use the band hall to practice before anyone else beats us." He got off the couch and headed for the bathroom. I signed. What will it take for him to buck up and tell me who he likes? And will he ever tell me face to face what he just said about that girl with out me having I fake my sleep?

After we ate breakfast, got changed-we have clothes at both houses since we usually do sleepovers on school nights anyway- we all got in Abby's car and drove to school. When we got there, we saw Megan the bitch- ha! Clever huh?- beating up the new girl again. Damn it! When will someone stand up to her?! Wait a minute..

I started walking up to her as Jaden tried to pull me back. "Morg? What are you doing?"

"Standing up for the new girl." I ran over to Megan a slightly tapped on her shoulder. I decided to have some fun with her, so when she turned around and said, "what? I'm kinda busy here," I did the old "follow my finger" game. But instead, in three seconds my pointy finger was in front of her mouth, and I gave it a huge punch.

"Holy shit! What tha hell?!"

I walked over to a beaten up goth girl on the floor and reached out her hand. "Do you need some help?"

She hesitated before taking it. As I pulled her to her feet, Megan was also on her feet. When she ran up to me, I stepped away from the new girl and I gave Megan another punch, which knocked her out. The goth girl looked at me suspiciously.

"Not everyone at this crappy school is like that." I smiled as she looked at me. Finally, she nodded her head and rushed off towards her class.

Megan's brother ran to her side. "This isn't over yet, Bronson!"

When the others caught up- finally- Jaden said, "what were you thinking?!"

"Before I answer that, imagine that that was you. Would you want me to help you or leave you with them to beat the shit out of you?"

When he looked up, l I saw him smiling. "I meant why didn't you wait for us?"

I smiled and started to laugh. As we calmed down, I noticed Megan and her brother starring at us.

"You are gonna regret helping the goth girl."

"No. Your gonna regret trying to hurt her." We walked passed them and headed towards the school building.
