I finally think I'm ready to talk I've made up my mind about him, about us. I pick up my phone and call him.

*ringing*

"Hello darling."

"Hi."

"How are you?"

"Fine, how are you?"

"Not too bad now that you've called."

"Uh I've made up my mind about what I want."

"Really?"

"Yes. Yes I have."

"So what did you decide?"

"I don't want to get back together."

------------------Call Ends----------------

I stare down at the phone, shocked that he hung up on me. Before I know it, there's a knock at my window. I look down and it's him. He begins to scale the tree leading to my window, I open it and let him in.

"What do you mean you don't want to get back together?"

"I mean I think we should just be friends, you know take a break."

"Why would we ever want to do that?!"

"Because you may be ready for this but I'm not, I still have a lot of growing to do, I have a lot of important things to focus on. This has nothing to do with Piper but I realized that I'm just not ready."

"But-" he stutters.

I smile at him and say "Harry, I'm only 14 I still have time wait a while and if you still want to be with me then, I'd be the happiest girl in the world."

"That's what really matters to me." he says.

"Thanks."

"So how long will I have to wait?"

"I don't know, until I'm ready I guess."

"I'll wait, I respect your decision and I'll wait as long as it takes."

"You're one of my best friends you know that?"

"So are you."

The following week isn't too bad actually. I enjoyed just freely hanging out with Harry and the rest of my friends, I still don't like Piper but I don't hate her. As the first two weeks go by I notice that we begin to drift apart from the boys until it's just Aria and I. We still smile at each other from across the room and we partner up whenever we can in second period but other than that there's not much contact between us and I can't say that I miss him because he's still there for me and I'm still there for him.

Him and Aria have began to talk more. Harry comes to my locker sometimes because Luke goes to Aria's locker to see her and where there's Luke there's Harry and where there's Harry there's Calum, Michael, and Ashton (occasionally). I don't see Calum and Michael as much as Luke because they're sophomores and I see Ashton the least due to the fact that he's a junior.

I've decided to start making use of my time so I signed up for the UA program which stands for Undercover Assistant. Usually kids will sign up for office assistant, library assistant, or teacher's assistant as their elective but because I'm in art that can't be my elective. Since I'm a UA I will be called during class to go help with whatever needs help around the school if the assistants are busy. I had to give the office my phone number so now I get notifications whenever they have something for me to do. Then, I show it to my teacher,and they let me go unless we're testing or doing anything of the sort.

I finally get my first assignment during sixth period, I show it to Ms. Scarlett and she grants me permission to go. When I get to the office the lady at the front desk hands me a book to take to the choir room. The history book belongs to an old friend of mine, Samantha Cromwell. We were friends when we were younger, back when popularity didn't matter.

In the choir room everyone is in their own groups doing their own things some people are dancing, some are singing, and others are doing both. I spot Samantha and hand her the book, she accepts it with a very dry 'thank you'. I spot Harry, Aria, and Luke in a corner, singing and they spot me.

"Eden!" exclaims Aria.

She jumps up with the others and runs to me.

"Aye, what are you doing here?" asks Harry.

"I'm a UA and I came to bring Samantha her history book."

"You should stay for a little we're about to run the performance for the talent show." suggests Luke.

"I have to get to class."

"Mrs. Scott! Mrs. Scott!"

"Yes, Aria?"

"Is it ok if Eden stays to watch the performance?"

"Great, it wouldn't hurt to have an audience and some feedback."

"Thanks." I say.

They sing a variety of songs and a lot of them great dancers but towards the end they sing one of my favorite songs ever, 'Your Song' by Elton John. They do this thing where they all turn their backs and crowd around in a circle. Then out from the circle comes Harry and the rest remain with their backs turned.

"And you can tell everybody this is your song.
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I wrote it in words
how wonderful life can be when your in my world."

I give the performance a standing ovation it was truly wonderful, I loved it and I know everyone else will too. My friends are so talented.

And then there's me.
