A Rich Boy and A Talented Girl

Looks Alot Like A Tragedy Now

Scarlet's POV

I closed my phone and spun my chair around, causing the room to smear for a second. I had just learned that morning that I had been signed by the same guy whole first signed Beiber (even though it was only for a month and a half). A meeting had been set up for Tuesday, three days from now, and I  was freaking out. Then I just find out that the guy that is signing me, is Jake's dad.Extremely weird.I look over and realize that it is approaching noon and I am still in my PJ's.So I scavenge through my drawers until  finally pick out a green tank top and a pair polka dotted skinnies, and hit the shower.

My damp hair in a ponytail, I step out of the bathroom.I head down the large marble staircase and suddenly I feel like a princess. So I stop half way down and look towards the kitchen, waiting for my prince to come but all  get is my little black and white kitten, Mouse. He mews once he reaches my feet and I pick him, rocking him like a baby. What a sweet little thing.

 I make my way down the rest of the stairs and place Mouse down on his little bed before continuing to the kitchen.I open up the freezer and fish out a pint of  Double Chocolate Chip, which in my opinion is the best flavor ever, but before I can open it, the phone rings. I place the ice cream back in the freezer and sprint over to the phone and pick it up.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Hey Scarlet, its me, Lulu." Lulu says.

"Oh, hey. Whats up?" I trot back over and get my ice cream back out, I can eat and talk.

"I heard that you got signed." she says and I pause, what the heck?

"Who told you?"

"Jake told Chrissy who told me."

"Oh OK"

"Well hey, I have to go. Talk to you later."

"Bye" I say and hang up. I look over at the wall clock, it has only been an hour since I talked to Jake. Word traveled... fast. By the time the weekend was over, everyone would know.

The moment I step through the school doors, I am surrounded by people. "Ohmagawd its her!!" I hear someone scream as  search for Lulu. I feel a tap on my shoulder and  spin around, just the chick  was looking for.

"Hey Girly," I say " Wonder what everyone is waiting for?"

"Oh so that is how you are going to play this?" She says with a laugh.

"What do you mean," I say with fake innocence and we burst into laughter. I link my elbow with hers and we head down the hall to the lockers. Only one person fallows us, a boy, Jake. I let him fallow behind us, only stopping when reached my locker. I spun my in code and then turned to find Jake, inches from my face. Somewhere along the way Lulu has left my side so I am flyng solo.

" Hey sexy thang." He whispers and I giggle, strange boy.

"Same to you." I say and give him grin, making him start laughing.

" Where is your girly friend?" I ask, pulling my math book out of my locker. Stupid math. He shrugs and I close my locker with a satisfying click.

"Well I am off to hell, oh sorry I meant math."I say to him and spin on my heel. Before I can take a step I feel a hand on my shoulder and Jake turns me around so I am facing him. He quickly places his lips on mine and then gets his lips close to my ear.

" Don't tell Chrissy." He whispers and then turns on his heel and leaves. Leaves me standing there in the hall, tardy bell ringing in the back ground.

Jake's POV

Exactly 37 minutes and 12 seconds later, that is when my panic sets in. I just kissed Scarlet and now I sit in first period, holding hands with Chrissy. I look over at her and give her hand a squeeze.She smiles to herself and squeezes my hand back, sending a jolt of panic through my body. What if someone told Chrissy that they saw us kissing, and she breaks up with me, and Scarlet wont go out with me, and I end up lonely. I start to breath fast but stop myself when I realize that I am starting to hyperventilate.

"Jake, would you like to tell us what the book you are reading is about?" asks Mr. Stromburg. We were supposed to be silent reading?

"Ummm," I mumble "Sure, my book is about a girl who moves to Washington and meets a vampire who she falls in love with, even though he is a vampire and they both know it.

"And what is the title of your story?" The teacher asks and I look down at the book on my desk. Shit, it wasn't Twilight.

"Tuck Everlasting" I mumble and the class burst into a fit of laughter. Chrissy takes her hand from me and I feel my face get red. I was even rejected by my girlfriend.

"Detention." says Mr. Stromburg.

"Yes, sir." I nod and open back up that goddy book. This was worse than hyperventilating in the middle of class, now I had a detention which meant more time to think of the hell that my life had become.

As I read, my head fills with thoughts of both of the girls find their way into my head. Scarlet's evil grin when I bring up something perverted. She is the kind of person that is serious for the first three minutes you know her, then all the serious is gone. You learn that she had a super dirty mind and a slight addiction to Indie Rock bands.

Then there was Chrissy, with her perfect coffee brown hair and model figure. She brought so many thoughts to my head, a thousand fluttering memories. She was my first kiss and the only person that has seen me cry. She is my best friend even if she has flipped out on me a couple times. I love her.

The bell finally rings and I gather my stuff, sneaking a peek at Chrissy as I start to leave. She is staring at me so I just hold her gaze.

"Why do you always get in trouble?" She asks me after a second and my mind goes blank. What did she just ask me? I feel my body heat up, its not like I'm "bad" on purpose. Before I can say anything though, she simply stands up and walks away. What just happened?

I keep my eyes on the ground as I walk through the hall to Band. I open the double doors of the concert room and head over to the locker that my trumpet is in.

"Hello Melly." I say to my trumpet, yes I named her, don't judge me.

"What did you say?" A familiar voice says behind. Trina Steert, my stand mate. She has a loud voice to her and loud style to her too. I spin to see her latest fashion choice, a hot pink top with a graphic print skirt and a pair of knee high snake skin sneakers.

"I wasn't talking to you Steert." I say and take out Melly from her case. I place the case back into the locker and head up the steps to my seat on stage. Scarlet and Chrissy are sitting next to each other in their usual places, giggling at Robbie's jokes. At least they aren't tearing each other apart like I had visioned. Thank God.I put Melly up to my mouth and play an A flat scale, then in a one up. The notes shake as I loose my concentration. The girls are looking back at me and when I meet their eyes they look away. Ya, things just turned from bad to worse.

Chrissy's POV

It was the lipstick that tipped me off.

"Oh my god Robbie, you are so gross!" Scarlet shrieks and pulls out her hot pink lipstick, putting on a light coat. The color that now fills her lips is the same color as Jake's when he had looked at me this morning. That's so iro.......... ohmagawd they kissed. It hits me like a ton of bricks, crashing down on top of me at once. I turn to Scarlet at once.

"You and Jake, you kissed." I say and she just stares at me for a moment. We both suddenly turn to Jake and we meet his eyes. He know that I found out.

"He kissed me." she says meeting my eyes again, and the bad situation only turns worse.I fight the urge to cry. But then that urge falters and my face heats up and I storm back towards Jake.

"What the hell were you thinking" I scream at him and he looks up at me, pressing his lips into a thin line, and then speaks.

" I was thinking about how much more easy going Scarlet is than you." he says flatly but the it turns into a yell, " I left my phone for TEN MINUTES the other day and you freaked out on me."

"I," I stammered, "I thought you were ignoring me."

" Chrissy," his voice is a whisper now, "We need to take a break."

And I understand what he is trying to say to me. We are breaking up.
