The rest of the football game went like a normal football except for the fact that along with all my athlete friends, Jenny was there to. Jenny wasn't paying much attention to me though. She was too engrossed with Hunter, and I really didn't mind. I was proud of myself. I mean, getting them together when they hardly knew each other was pretty impressive. Hunter was a nice guy and I think that he and Jenny would get along fine. Hunter went to go get drinks at half time and he brought Jenny and me one. Not a bad deal if you ask me. To make the night even better, we won 32 to 12. The Ridge Falls red, black, and white was everywhere. I walked with Kristi, Roxy and Michelle to the band hall so they could get out of uniform. Then Kristi and Michelle left, and Roxy and I went to wait for Cory and Jake. It wasn't long before Cory was there, but he didn't have to change clothes like Jake did. Like the good frends that they were, They waited with me until Jake came.

Sure enough, Jake came out a few minutes later with wet hair plastered to his skull. I love the way he takes a shower after a game. It makes me feel like he wants to look clean and good for me. He came up and grabbed me in hug lifting me off the ground. I could smell the shampoo he had used in his hair. "Hello, Kelly," he said, putting me down softly. I fixed my hair that had come out of place and smiled at him,"Hello, Jake." "Hey man, hows it going?" Cory asked giving Jake one of those wierd guy hugs where they grip each others wrist and slap each other on the back. "Pretty good." Jake answered. "So we're going to that new ice cream place off Wood street, right?" Cory asked. "Yup that is it." Jake answered pulling out his keys. "We'll meet you there." Cory nodded and pulled out his own keys walking towards his red ford focus. A cute car a must admit. But it doesn't compare to Jake's new yellow mustang. Jake unlocked the car and opened the passenger door for me, then after I had slipped in, he went around to his side and climbed in reving up his engine. I was glad he could drive and my brothers didn't have to take me anywhere. Or my parents for that matter.

I'm now laying on my bed staring at the celing in the dark. Jake had dropped me off at my house about half an hour ago. Like usual my parents were asleep and Blaine, Nick and Josh were watching some horror movie. I think it was Freddy vs. Jason or something like that. The ice cream was pretty good, but just being with Jake made everything perfect. Being with Roxy just made it better. We had been sitting there talking and of course Heather's party came up. "So," Jake said one arm drapped over my shoulders,"are you guys going to Heather's party?" "We weren't planning on it. Something about a bunch of jocks all in one place doesn't exactly sound appealing." Roxy said. "But you guys aren't like that." Cory added. That got us all laughing. "Well Jake and I are going, so we'll be there if you decide to come." I added taking a drink of the double chocalate shake Jake and I were sharing. Then after that we had finished our ice cream and Jake had drove me home. I wasn't counting on Roxy being at the party. But Jenny would be there so that was definatly a plus. Usually Roxy was the only one I could get to even consider going to a party. Roxy is just kind of out there. I couldn't wait for Heather's party tomorrow night. The only thing that might make the night go wrong was that Heather was Jake's ex-girlfriend.

I don't know how long it took me to get to sleep but eventually I did. Get to sleep that is. When I woke up the next morning the sun was already up and shining on a bright new day. I rolled out of bed and was up. I never had problems getting up in the morning. I looked down at my watch and saw that it was already ten. I pulled off my pjs and threw on my running clothes. I go running every morning so I don't get out of shape. I started running over the summer and now it is just a habit. I even get up early and run before school. I ran for about 3 miles by the time I got home again. That is about what I usually run give or take a few yards. For me running felt like an escape from the rest of the world. I felt like no one could touch me. It was a time for me to be me, and not worry about anyone or anything else. My friends though I was crazy for running everyday. But I could probably run forever and never get winded. Well, maybe not forever but I could run for a really long time. I went up stairs and took a shower. It felt good to relax and let the water run over my skin. After that I put on some comfortable clothes and started looking for the perfect outfit to wear for the party. It had to be perfect. Otherwise it could be bad at school Monday.

I don;t know how long it took me to find the perfect outfit, but by the time I was done my room was covered in clothes. Clothes were everywhere. There were shirts hanging off the door knobs and pants on my bed frame. I sighed when I realized just how much of a mess I had made. I knew what I was going to be doing tomorrow. Cleaning my room. Oh well, it was worth it. So my final pick was a baby blue halter top with a cute blue jean skirt. I had just bought the shirt last week at the mall, so this would be the perfect oppurtinity to wear it. I went down stairs and grabbed a banana. I was starting to go upstairs when my mom stopped me. "Kelly, dear, Blaine told me you are going to the party tonight. Is that true? she asked. I hate the fact that I have brothers that tell my mom everything. Now she was going to want to know everything about it. "Yes, I'm going to the party." "Who's hosting it?" "Heather Jones." "Where is it?" "She lives in Valley Oaks." "Who are you going with?" "Jake, but Blaine and Nick are both going to be there." "Well, I guess you can go. Next time tell me sooner, though" "Ok, I will" Interogation was done. Finnally. I ran up the stairs and grabbed my phone jumping on my bed and uncermoniously pushing the clothes off to the floor. I started to dial Michelle's number.

The phone rang once before Michelle picked it up. "Hey Kell," she said. "Hiya. I'm really nervous about the party tonight." "Why?! You're pretty and popular. I don't see what you have to be worried about." "It's Heather's party, and she was Jake's ex. I just have a bad feeling about it. That's all." "Kelly. We are talking about Jake here. you two were like made for each other. I highly doubt that Heather is going to change that. He's already dumped her once." "You're right, as always." "Yeah, we know. So have you started the Geometry homework yet?" I laughed at her."Yes I have." I said reaching for my geometry book. "Good. What did you get for 21." "587." After that I forgot about Jake. Michelle was right. Jake wouldn't do anything like that to me.

I still had a long time til when the party was supposed to start so I decided to play a video game. I ended up playing pac man, one of my all time favorites. After a while I got boerd so I stopped playing and went downstairs to think up something I could do. I went into the living room and turned on TV. The weather was on and I shook my head in disbelief when it said that the temperature was 96. It was too hot for my tastes. But it was nice outside all the same and I kind of wanted to be out of the house. Then I realized it would be a perfect oppurtunity to go swimming. I ran back up stairs and called Michelle to see if she wanted to go swimming. We could go swimming at Roxy's house. She just got a new pool and It would be nice to go swimming with my friends. The phone was ringing and finnally her brother, Nathan answered the phone. "Is Michelle there?" I asked. "No, she went for a walk." "Well can you tell her to call me when she gets back." "Yes, I will." I hung up the phone and waited for Michelle to call me back. Resorting with Pac man again to pass the time.

After a few hours and Michelle still hadn't called me back I picked up the phone and tried calling her again. This time it was Michelle that answered. "Hey, Kell." "Did your brother forget to tell you that I called again?" "That butt, he didn't tell me you called. Anyways I just got back and finished taking a shower." "Where did you go?" "Oh, Roxy came by my house while she was walking her dog. So I went walking with her and we ended up going swimming at her house." "What?" I asked. "We went swimming." "Why didn't you guys call me?" "We didn't think about it. We just kind of went on a limb. It was a last minute kind of thing. We were like let's go swimming, so we did. No biggy." "I still would've liked to go." "Sorry." They went swimming and didn't even call me, and all she could say was sorry. I was mad at them. I couldn't even remember the last time I had been mad at them like I was now. I couldn't believe they didn't even call me. How could they. So I hung up on her. There was a lot of stuff I would've liked to of told her but none of it was very nice. She tried to call back and I ignored my phone.

More than I was mad I was hurt. They had truly hurt my feelings. There was a part of me that didn't want to be mad at them but there was another part of me that said I should. I realize that they had left Kristi and Jenny out as well but they don't usually come anyway. I think I was mad at myself for being mad at them for hurting my feelings. Confusing. It took me awhile to get over it but I did. I'm still not very happy that they left me out. But I'm not mad at them like I was. I also realized something. It is really hard to stay mad at your friends. I knew I should probably have called Michelle and talk to her about it, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I was still upset and I didn't want to say anything to hurt anyone else's feelings.

At four o'clock I started getting ready for the party. I realize Jake wasn't going to be there til six but these things take time. I took a shower and blow dried my hair. I love my hair. Especially when you can run your fingers through it and have it feel like silk. That is how my hair was. Once my hair was dry I changed clothes. Putting on my halter top and skirt. Looking at my self in the mirror I have to admit I looked really, really cute. Even without make-up. Which I still put on. I put on some mascara, eyeliner, and lipgloss. Alot less than most girls do. I just don't like the feeling of thick make-up pasted all over my face. After make-up came accesories. I love accescorizing. It is just fun. I put on some silver hoop earrings, and a silver heart necklace. I also added my heart ring that matched the necklace. I grabbed my black purse that goes with anything and made sure I had everything I needed. Lipgoss and mascara for reapplication if needed. Feminine products, just in case. Cell phone, that I have seperation anxiety from. And my house keys, because my brothers have a reputation of forgetting theirs. You can never be too careful. By the time I was ready it was 5:45. I just had fifteen minutes before Jake came and picked me up. I was getting more excited about the party with every passing second.

Blaine and Nick were pulling out of the driveway to go to the party, when Jake pulled up. He got out and kissed me and a tingle ran along my spine. "You look beautiful," he said brushing a piece of hair behind my ear. I smiled and replied," You look really good, too." And he did. He was wearing blue jeans with a black button up shirt that was open with a white shirt underneath. "Well, I don't know about that but you look good enough for the both of us," he said wrapping an arm around my waist and walking me over to his car. He opened the passenger door for me and shut it behind me. Then he walked over to driver's side and got in. I really didn't know how to reply to that so I just said,"Thanks." He leaned over and kissed my cheek then started backing out of the driveway. I love Jake so much. I don't know what I would do without him.

We were at Heather's house soon and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. This was my first real party. I had no idea what it was going to be like. Somethings you just don't know about how they are going to turn out. Would this be a fun party? I realized that party's in general can do a lot about your reputation. And I hope this one doesn't ruin mine. As I got out of the car I took a look around for Hunter's truck. I didn't see it so that probably meant that Jenny and Hunter weren't there yet. We walked into the front door which was open and said hi to peple we knew. The house seemed to be bursting at the seems with the pounding music and people. Heather spotted Jake and I, and waved us over. So far everything was going good.

Personally I didn't really want to talk to Heather. But it was her party and I guess I should be curteous, and at least tell her thank you. But something about girls that try to steal your boyfriend don't really appeal to my nice side. Ever since Haether lost Jake she has been trying to get him back. I guess it just doesn't don on some people that when you lose something it's gone. And I highly doubt Heather will be getting Jake back any time soon. He is mine. So Jake and I walked up to Heather and we both said hi. Heather placed a hand on Jake's arm, and I glared at her but didn't say anything. I put my arm around Jake's waist and he looked at me and smiled, drapping his arm over my shoulders. Heather pulled her arm back glanced at me and then batted her eyelashes at Jake and said," I'm so happy you could come Jake." She didn't even make the pretense of talking to me.

"Well Kelly and I are happy to be here," Jake replies. I can tell he caught on too, because he added my name in there. he can be so cute sometimes. Heather just flips her brown hair and then walks off obvioulsy annoyed. Jake turns to me and says," Hey Kelly, I'm going to get some drinks, I'll be right back." I nod to him and he turns to go. About that time I see Jenny and Hunter walk in together. I wave them at them and Jenny waves back and starts making her way towards me dragging Hunter behind her.Of course as usual both of them are wearing black. "Hey Kelly," Jenny says. "Hi guys," I reply smiling at both of them. I'm actually really glad that Jenny came to the party. I mean Jake is really sweet and nice and all, but he doesn't replace my girl friends. This is my first real party and It is nice to have someone to share it with. "Well how are things going?" Hunter asks gestering around at the party. "Jake and I just got here," I explain. "I don't think Jenny and I are going to stay long," Hunter says and then flashed a smile at her, "I think we came to the conclusion that this was not our cup of tea." Jenny doesn't say anything to correct him and I raise my eyebrows at her. Hunter just grouped them together and she didn't say anything about it. It is kind of surprising. They wander off to talk with more of Hunter's friends and Jake comes back. He has a beer in one hand and a coke in the other. I should've known that any party Heather threw would have alchol at it. Jake hands me the coke and takes a drink of the beer. I'm really glad he didn't bring me one. But it is just one of the many thing Jake takes into consideration for me. Like I said earlier. He has got to be the perfect guy.

Placing a kiss on my forehead, Jake leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear, "I love you baby, don't ever forget that." He was looking down at me with that smile that melts my heart to pieces everytime I see it. "I love you too," I replied, a smile creeping up over my face. I couldn't remeber a time I had ever liked anyone as much as I liked Jake. I mean, I turely loved him. Those weren't just words. Now I might not be in love with him, but I loved him all the same. Placing his free arm around my waist he started moving me through all the people. "Now we have to make our apperance and go be social," Jake said with almost a touch of regret in his voice. I wondered what it was he was regretting when he answered that question without me even asking. "I almost wish it could be just us together." Part of me was wishing the same thing.
