Jackson

"Why won't you just tell me!" Ana whines. We're sitting in Juice Hut finishing off our smoothies. Jackson was right, I loved Melon Fusion. She had been trying to get me to spill my guts about my boyfriend for nearly ten minutes now. I just wasn't sure if I should tell her anything about him or my fake/real boyfriend Neil. I mean I told Jasmin that lie but I hate lying and I don't want to do it again.

"It's not that important!" I protest taking another sip of my smoothie. Ana glares at me a bit.

"It is important. Come on. You have a boyfriend. You're a freshman in college, seventeen. I don't even have a boyfriend! Please just tell me!" She continued to beg. I was sort of breaking. I felt a bit bad that I was keeping it from her especially since she told me all that awful stuff about her life. I can give her this one random piece of happy information right?

"Okay, okay fine. I'll tell you about my boyfriend." Ana threw her hands up in triumph she probably would have even got up and started dancing if I hadn't told her to calm down or I won't tell her. She immediately stopped fussing and sat down in front of quietly. Her hands folded around her cup while she drank from it slowly. I sighed and smiled at her enthusiasm. "His name is Neil and he's Irish. No I've never been to Ireland. Yes he came over here. We've been together for a year now." Ana looked like she might explode.

"How far have you gone with him? What's he like? Respectful? Sweet? Caring? How did you meet? What was your first date like? Does Jackson like you?" That last question sort of caught me off guard so I decided to answer all the other ones and not that one.

"Umm he's not a virgin but I am and we've only gone to.. Second base. He's all of those things. I met him through a friend of mine. He took me out for pizza and then we test drove fancy cars. It was fun. Really fun." I smiled remembering our first date. It seems so long ago but I remember it like it was yesterday.

"You didn't answer my last question." Ana said in a singsong voice. I blushed red as she finished off her smoothie with a loud slurp.

"Jackson is like my older brother he.." Ana cut me off.

"Doesn't mean he can't be in love with you. How did you meet him anyways? How long have you known him? Isn't he a senior? He's like four years older than you." I didn't need Ana to tell me that. I've always known that Victoria and Jackson are odder than Alison and I by a couple of years I just always hoped they wouldn't realize that and stop being friends with us because we're too childish.

"Jackson lives on my street, or lived I should say. I've known him since diaper days. For a while it was Victoria, Alison, Jackson and I. Our ages didn't seem like such a big deal even though Victoria and Jackson were graduating high school when Alison and I were just starting. Jackson doesn't like me. I'm like his little sister." Ana grins and shakes her head.

"I think that's what you want to believe because I saw a completely different story." I bite my bottom lip hard.

"I have a boyfriend Ana, we're just friends." Ana nods her head.

"You might want to tell him that then." Ana and I parted ways back in our dorm. She headed off to prepare for her class while I headed back up to my dorms. When I got back I realized my hours were up. Jasmin was home.

"Hey! Where were you? I was a little confused that you weren't here. Not that that's a problem or anything I mean I don't know." She rambled on as I entered the living room. She was pouring herself a drink, leaving the fridge door wide open. I tried not to freak out over it. She closed it when she put the water away.

"I met someone. She took me down to Juice Hut." Jasmin nods her head.

"Cool, friends. Those are fun. What's her name?" She questions.

"Ana. She's really sweet and she's a junior transfer." I refrained from telling her Ana's sad backstory. I don't think she would have minded if I told Jasmin I just didn't think it was something I should tell her. If Ana and Jasmin ever meet Ana can tell her herself.

"Oh cool, like Frozen. Does she look like the girl in the movie?" I thought about it for a couple of seconds. She was quirky and a bit weird but definitely didn't look like Ana in the movie. With her short dark hair and creamy white complexion, she was far from the red haired girl in the movie.

"Nope. Not in the slightest." Jasmin grinned and commenced telling me about her classes and her day in general. I tried to pay as close attention as I could but what Ana had said earlier had gotten to me. I was positive Jackson was over me, or maybe I was just blinded by what I felt about Niall. Maybe I felt guilty that I wasn't with Jackson because I had known him longer, but I could never change how I feel about Jackson. He is like my older brother and I never want to loose him.

Around five or maybe it was six Jasmin made us Mac and cheese, the boxed kind, and we went back into the living room and continued to chat. Well Jasmin did at least. Jasmin yawned, stretching herself out. "Im beat. Are you tired? I'm tried." I glanced at the clock.

"Oh man, it's later than I expected." I murmured. It was nearly eleven o clock. Not that late but I didn't expect to stay up until eleven just talking to Jasmin, or listening to her talk more like it. Jasmin grinned.

"Yeah, sorry. I tend to get carried away. You want to take a shower first?" She questioned. I shook my head and waved her away.

"Naw, you can go." Jasmin smiled.

"Okay, thanks." She said with a smile. With both of us showered and sitting in our pajamas Jasmin piled her hair up into a bun and turned off the light. "Day two of college fun tomorrow!" She sang out. I smiled in the darkness, but not because of what she said but because Niall just replied to my goodnight text,

Sweet dreams, sweetheart. I love you with all my heart.
