DAYTONIt was Monday and I had History for third period.Allison, Sean and some people I knew also had history that time.I sat beside Allison who has been grinning since morning but we hadn't had time to talk.She was staring dreamingly at Adrian in front of her. I raised my eyebrows as I noticed Adrian pass a note to her. She giggled quietly as she collected it.Maybe Adrian has told her, I thought."I'd be giving you all an assignment. You'd be paired in twos and the assignment is due Friday."Everyone grumbled but

As they watched the movie, Adrian occasionally glanced at Allison.She was so engrossed in the movie and he wanted to know just how engrossed she was.He took some of her popcorn, yet she didn't notice. The most important thing to him is that she enjoys her time here.Watching the movie, Adrian realized that a character in the movie loves his best friend but he's scared to tell her. A wish list that she has had for some years which contains her wishes, began to come true one by one around her 30th birthday.In her quest to find Mr. Right, she didn't know he was right there with her -- had always been there.Adrian frowned a little cause when he realized that he is kinda in the same situation with the guy in the movie. He really likes his best female friend but his scared to tell her.

When Friday came, Allison was more than excited.It's not that Adrian and her haven't gone out before, it's the fact that it's been a while so it doesn't feel like something usual.She got ready for school and settled on something to wear. She then joined the rest of the family at the dining."Good Morning everyone," she beamed."Someone looks cheery today," Ethan teased.She rolled her eyes, "I am. Today's a lovely day.""You don't say that everyday so there's something happening today that makes it lovely," Ethan said quizzically.

The next day, Sean got to school with only one goal in mind - speaking to Paige.He arrived at school in the morning and wrote a note meant for Paige, requesting that they talk privately during lunch break. On the way to his locker, he slipped it into hers, making sure no one saw him.At his locker, Carson came."Dude good morning.""Morning Carson.""What's up with you? You look like something is really bothering you," Carson said frowning."There's no use lying. Something's bothering me.""And...."

Paige was infuriated when she found out about Dayton and Sean. She still is.'How dare she?Oh My Gosh! Did she come here to ruin my life? To ruin chances for me?'She didn't leave school after school. She had cheerleading practice. But that did not get her mind to stop.....she just can't stop thinking about Sean and Dayton.Well, she can still have him, as long as she make the right moves and play the right cards.She left Isabelle and Eliza with the other cheerleaders in the locker room and walked through hallways to her locker still in her cheerleading outfit.In the hallway before the one her locker is in, she saw Sean at his locker. Even though she was angry, she

DAYTONAfter all our classes, Allison and I met at our lockers."Something's up with Paige," I said bemusedly."What do you mean?"I closed my locker and faced her."Well, earlier at the café - when we joined Sean and Carson, she seemed really crossed and she didn't even say hi before walking away with her minions angrily."Allison grinned, "She's just jealous that you're dating Sean.""Then again in class, I said hi to her. She looked at me with a look that could kill and then she ignored me.""Forget about her. She's not worth getting your

"Hey Chris," a girlish voice says behind him.He turns on his heel to find Piper beaming at him.Just what he needs - a distraction."Oh Piper," he gives the best smile he could muster really happy to see her."I thought you said someone was waiting for you?" She asks."Yeah. Well, I went to meet him but he's sorta busy with his girlfriend," Chris replies."Oh. Did you come with your girlfriend?" She asks him curiously.She knows his story. She knows he is a player but she just decided to ask that."Nope," he answers, trying his best not to cringe."So...you live around here?" He asks to change the subject."Yeah. I do. You?""Nah," He answers.Piper wants to ask where he lives but doesn't wanna spoil her chance with him or sound too nosy. They talk about the

It has been week now since everything happened. The party, the game and then the kiss. Just as Stephanie expected, things hasn't changed or rather, didn't change. Everything has been normal. Stephanie sees Chris everyday but as usual, he's oblivious to her existence. She didn't really hope for anything to change and no, she hasn't suddenly fallen in love with Christopher just because of a kiss - that would be outrageous.He's still the very same to her.The player with all other qualities she has, tied to him.But now, one thing has been added to her list about him - he is the one she had the best kiss of her life with.She isn't suddenly pining over him. No.She isn't.That kiss didn't change her thoughts about him.Not one bit.Now it's Friday and school is over.She and Brooke are heading towards their ride - Brooke's car."What plans do you have for the weekend?" Brooke a

By the end of the day, Christopher became frustrated. He hasn't found Hazel. He is yet to find Hazel. He is really frustrated but he doesn't know why. He didn't even see her nor her friend Brooke at the cafeteria during lunch. Everyone eats there, don't they? He couldn't even concentrate on the conversation going on at his table. He didn't see her in any of his classes either but that doesn't surprise him because he guessed that they don't share any classes together.Little did he know.When school closed, he looked around for a bit in the hallways and then a brilliant idea struck him. He went to the parking lot in hope of finding Hazel. Unfortunately for him, the girls he is looking for already left the lot before he got there.As Brooke was driving she and Stephanie out of the school's parking lot, Chris was just approaching it. They drove past him but they didn't notice. Neither did he. He had his eyes trained on some w

ON THE Wayto class, Stephanie's phone beeps and she brings it out of pocket of her jeans to check it. Just then, she bumps into someone but luckily for her, her phone doesn't leave her grip. She looks up to see the person she bumped into, only to find a very furious looking Ivy glaring at her."You bitch! Are you blind or something?" Ivy yells.Poison Ivy."I'm really so....""Shut that trap you call a mouth," Ivy yells again.Stephanie shuts up and couldn't help but roll her eyes."Who are you anyway?" Ivy asks snootily."I'm pretty sure she's a loser," Aspen, her best friend, more like minion, snickers beside her."Are you a transfer student or something? I've never seen your pathetic face before, not that I'll want to," Ivy bellows.'Yeah, yeah.I'm glad you've

Christopher remained eagle-eyed for the rest of the night at Jason's party. He didn't want the girl he kissed to slip by right under his watch. He wasn't even interested in partying anymore. He looked around for her friend Brooke later on but didn't see her either. He couldn't believe they've been attending the same school since 9th grade. She's probably the quiet unpopular type. She's actually pretty to be honest. So is her friend. He eventually decided to crash and went into Jason's room."What's wrong man?" Jason had asked him when he told him he wanted to sleep."I'm just tired dude," he had answered faking a yawn.Jason shrugged.The thing is that Christopher couldn't sleep immediately. When he closed his eyes, he kept remembering how his lips moved in sync with hers. The kiss wasn't even deep but it seemed to have trapped him.What the hell is this? I've never felt that way when k

Chapter Five: Hair CutStephanie Valentine has been sitting outside for about an hour now. She decides to go in and find Brooke so they can leave. Enough has happened for tonight. She heads back into the house and checks the room where the game was played but can't find Brooke nor Cole inside. She sights Chris talking to Jason but quickly leaves before he notices her.She then tries the living room and then the kitchen. And there they are, Cole and Brooke, both drunk. They're sitting at the kitchen island still having more drinks. Stephanie walks over and grab both drinks from their hands."Hey," Brooke yells."Haven't you guys had enough already?" She asks them."You look like Spongebob," Brooke tells her reaching out to touch her face. Stephanie swats her hand away. She looks at Cole and finds him staring at Brooke with a stupid smile on his face.
