Hayes and I were doing just fine. For Jacob and Amanda, I'd say they hit a bump in the road. After all that's what Jacob gets for going for a girl who's been obsessed with him since like the 5th grade.

It started when Amanda caught Jacob cheating on her with Tatiana.

Amanda just got out of her dramatic arts class, and like usual she'd meet Jacob at his locker. This time she wasn't there, so she came to talk to me. I told her how I haven't seen her precious boyfriend, that I don't even talk to anymore.

"I know you know where he is Jasmine, please just tell me."

"Why would I try to hide Jacob from you? Do you know how insane you sound right now? Just leave me alone, and find him for yourself." I state while putting my books in my locker, and grabbing my lunch money.

"Jasmine, cut the shit and tell me where he is. " She then grabbed my arm when I started walking away.

"I suggest if you want to keep that pretty little face of yours, you'd the same. Take your fucking hand off of me."

She then let go of me and I walked over to Hayes. She stormed off without saying another word to me.

"What's her problem?" Hayes asked while we walked to lunch.

"I don't know trouble in paradise, I guess." I stated while shrugging.

That day Amanda went home during 6th period. She claimed that "her stomach was hurting" and of course the school nurse asumed it was just menstrual cramps. Now for a usual student the nurse would have given her some water, but for a suck up like Amanda, she got to call her mom to pick her up.

The rest of the week no one heard from Amanda. I guess that's what happens when you fall hard for someone. It's quite ironic too. Who would ever think of Jacob being the womanizer in the school.

He made a risky choice going out with Amanda, especially since she's a part of Ashley's clique. Well, was apart of her clique. The following week Ashley replaced Amanda, with Olivia. When Amanda went to sit down at the luch table there was an awkward tension, and she ended up sitting with a couple of friends she use to talk to.

To me it looks like god is watching out for that girl, because Amanda shouldn't be hanging around people like Ashley, anyways. Oh and during the week Amanda wasn't in school, Jacob decided to let the cat out of the bag and tell everyone the truth. The truth was he was only using Amanda to get over me.

To me it was no shock, but let me tell you that the next words were. He said that he, "couldn't give 2 fucks about Amanda or her feelings, and that him and Tati were happy together." Well you know what that was? A whole load of bullshit, because as soon as that Olivia girl came into the picture, Jacob has been unloyal to Tati.

I guess you could say that Jacob is in the mist of finding who he really is, and who he wants to be. If one thing is going as planned for Jacob, it's probably school. His name was called on the announcements for getting all A's for the first and second quarter. For him it was nothing, but to the school it was major. I mean at least he's booksmart.

I on the otherhand auditioned for my first movie. I ended u getting the part and we start filiming in mid July. Hayes was very happy for me and took me out as a "celebration date". I told him all I reallly wanted was icecream, so he took me to coldstone. At the parlor he tried cheering me up, but there was nothing he could do to make me smile again.

Since I already have a movie I'm definetly doing, the chances of staying are 1 in 1,000,000. When we walked home he took me to the lake, and we sat on the dock like we use to when we were in 5th grade. I rested my head on his shoulders, and he wrapped his arms around me.

It was like we both tuned out the world. That was something I really needed to do.

"Your birthday is in 3 weeks, is there anything you want?" He asked me.

"I'm going to Florida for 5 days, and I want you to come with."

"Really?" he was kind of shocked.

"Yeah we leave that Thursday and we leave there Monday night." I explained while looking up at him.

"I'd have to ask my mom."

"Already, done. My mom talked to her about a month ago. Plus, your mom is coming with us, she wanted to visit Will while we are down there."

Hayes carried me back to my house and he ended up sleeping over. The next morning he left so he could change and we walked to school. When we walked in I saw Ashley and her clique to my right, and to my left there was Jacob snogging Olivia.

When I opened my locker, a note fell out.

I'm sorry for everything I have ever done to you. And congrats on getting a role in that new movie. Maybe we could start over?

"What do you say?" I closed my locker to find Amanda standing there.

It looks like she finally decided to grow up, and if she could do that, the least I could do is accept her apology.

"Of course, we can start over." She engulfs me with a hug, and this was the start of one of my friendships.
