Terry decided to avoid Candice Grandchester altogether. He would see her from afar; he would walk the other way. Candy would see him and she would be sad. Terry was avoiding her. He didn't like her after all, he was probably just attracted to her physically, like all the other guys she had met until now. But if that was the case, why wouldn't he take advantage of the situation like the others, or... he was still hung on his dead girlfriend. She had made her little investigation and she had found out that Terry had indeed lost his girlfriend not too long ago and she was little Miss Perfect. Candy didn't mind, she was alive and Antonia was dead... But Terry was avoiding her, she was not going to force herself on him, she will let destiny act. So unless she met Terry by chance, she was not going to look for him.
Terry was living in confusion, he wanted to avoid Candy and he wanted to see her more than ever. Jones kept telling him to go for it, but Terry was resisting.
Terry was happy to have Jones with him now; with Patrick they were forming a trio. Ashley was happy to have her confident with her in school too. She was talking on the phone with him.
- So did you make your move on Terry? He asked.
- I'm letting him time to grieve, said Ashley.
- Ash, there are beautiful girls in this school, Terry might turn to them.
- He's still grieving...
- He did turn to Brittany back home...
- I heard about that! How could you have let that happen?
- Euh, I'm not Terry's guardian? He was grieving and Brittany was there for him so, one thing let to another...
- I can't believe he slept with her!!!!
- Well she had an advantage on you, she always told Terry she wanted him and kissed him too...
- I know the trick she played on him at the Halloween party...
- She kissed him before that...
- What??? When???
- I already said too much, said Jones, Terry is going to kill me!
- If you don't tell me, I'll ask Terry...
- Ash! This is in confidence!
- Jones!
- All right, on the 4th of July, the barbecue, he was still with Nina...
- Brittany kissed Terry... Nina pushed her in the pool...
- And Terry got lucky that day with her...
- Oh my God!
- Me and my big mouth, said Jones.
- They disappeared after that, they were making love, said Ashley hurt.
- That's all in the past...
- I hated being jealous of my cousin... But I should make my move on Terry very soon.
Jones was hurt. He couldn't tell Ashley he like her. Terry was struggling with his feeling for Candy; he was pushing him to go out with her. Unconsciously so that Ashley would be free... So he went to see Terry in his room.
- Hey buddy! Said Terry smiling.
- Terry, I was talking to Ashley.
- Did you tell her about your feelings for her?
- No...
- Buddy, someone might snatch her away from you before you make your move!
"You're the only one who can do it" thought Jones.
- I'm not like you Terry, I don't have your confidence...
- Really? I see you confident enough to push me towards Candy.
- Because I know you like her... you're just being stubborn...
- Don't start...
- Terry, life is short, you found that out the hard way with Antonia. If you like Lady Candy, go for it! Don't waste any time!
Terry remained silent. Had he known he was living on borrowed time with Antonia, he would've spent every second with her... Candy...She was so different from Antonia...
- I'll see what I can do about my feelings for her...
- Act on them!!!
- Jones, no pressure please...
- Antonia wouldn't want you to be alone.
- I can date other girls.
- You want Candy!
- Jones ...
- All right, sorry if I'm pressuring you...
Terry was afraid of the violence of his feelings for Candy. They were way too intense... He had never felt anything like that before. He couldn't control those feelings, that's what was scaring him.
- It's ok man, said Terry, now shall we study for tomorrow's test?
- Right! Like you need to study!
They burst out laughing.
