F.R.I.E.N.D.S...?

Chapter 3) Party Time

A/N Before I upload this chapter, I just wanted to thank everyone for their support. I also wanted to say that my book chapters will probably be slow to upload, because of Virtual School. I have to take an online class this summer and I apologize that is may take up my time from writing. I hope you all enjoy none the less.

If you are younger readers, be warned that there will be violence.

Okay, bye! Love you all!

I went over to my mother and talked to her about the party. She was alright with it as long as I stay with Jackson and come home by tomorrow morning.

I thanked her and went over to my friend Emma and sat with her while I texted Ash.

Me- Party, you coming?

Ash- Jackson's?

Me- Yup, you know where.

Ash- I'm at the game right now, you guys did awesome! I also saw you talking to Jackson. TELL ME EVERYTHING.

Me- Come over to the band.

Ash- K.

I heard my name and saw Ash coming over. I smile and run over to her, engulfing her in a bear hug.

"Tell me everything." She shook me by the shoulders, looking into my eyes.

"Well, I kind of passed out earlier and went to the hospital, found out that I hurt my left hand AND I found out that the girl that kissed him was a slutty cheerleader. He also kissed my cheek." I stayed silent for a bit while she processed it.

"So. What you are TRYING to say, is that HE LIKES YOU!" She started to shake me more, which made me dizzy. I took her hands off and took a seat on the nearest bleacher. She muttered an apology and sat next to me.

"I'm really happy about him liking you, dude!" She gives me a giant smile and hugs me.

"He wants to talk to me, so that's why he wants me to go to the party. I need you there, Ash. I don't want to have to go through this alone, not again," I said referring to the 8th grade incident.

She nodded and hugged me. I let go and made my way to the stands and got my uniform back on, with the help of my friend Emma.

We watched the rest of the game, which we won. 26-13.

I put my things back in the bag and put my instrument away. I grabbed my bookbag and went over to Jackson, feeling my face heat-up hotter with every step.

"Ready to go?" He asked. I nodded and we went to his car. We sat in silence for a bit, just staring at the road and listening to the faint radio.

"Why did you want me at the party?" I said in more of a factual tone. I looked over at him, waiting for a reply.

"I just wanted you," he said. We got to his house, the music already blaring. He looked me in the eye and spoke. "Remember when you caught me in your seat on my first day of school in 8th grade?" I nodded. "As soon as you talked back to me, I realized that I had to be with you, but I became busy and never saw you." He runs his fingers through his hair and sighs.

"I just want you, Alex." Then, he kissed me. I went into the kiss, but it didn't feel "right" to me. Maybe it was because it was my first real-life kiss.

During the kiss, my mind just kept going back to me kissing Jason.

I moved back.

"What's wrong Alex, did I do something wrong?" He asked with sadness in his eyes.
