Okay. Let me give you the 411 on Dakota. She's the only other person that I know of that's going to Millington on a scolarship besides Jack. She's from Brooklyn too. Her dad is a mechanic and she helps him in the shop which Jen and I think is totally gross. I mean, being covered in oil and gasoline all day? Ewwwwww! I think I would need about a thousand showers and at least a hundred mud baths. But I really hate to admit, she is really pretty. She has long blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. She's skinny but not too skinny. Just perfect. But she hates me though. She always calls me Miss Priss even though I've never done anything to her.

After class, I looked kinda mad, but I had a good reason to be. I watched Dakota and Jack flirt like crazy all period. Jen and Gabe tried to tell me it was nothing but I wouldn't listen.

My next class was the newspaper which both Dakota and Jack were in too. As I got to my desk, I sat down and turned on my computer. Just then Dakota walked by.

"Hey Miss Priss. Checkin' to see if you can ruin anymore lives with your little gossip column? I had a good time with your boyfriend today. God only knows why he's with you. He deserves much better. Like me. See ya later Lexy." and then she walked away. Just then Jack walked up and leaned over me.

"Hey. What's up? I've barely talked to you all day."

"Well You didn't really seem to mind an hour ago."

"What?" he asked cluelessly.

"You were totally flirting with Dakota!"

"I dont know what you're talking about, Lexy. But whatever it is could we please wait until we can get to your house later?"

"Fine, whatever." I said, angry. The rest of the day dragged on and I couldn't get the idea of Jack and Dakota out of my head.

When school was finally over, Jack was waiting for me by my locker. He looked kind of shy like I was gonna get mad at him again but I was trying not to. I walked up to him.

"Hey",he said as I started to open my locker. As I did, I saw the rose that I never took out and it fell to the ground. He immediatly bent down and picked it up. He held the rose carefully in his hands. He looked so perfect at that moment. I couldn't resist. I gave him a big hug. It felt so good to be held in his arms. I pulled out of the embrace and kissed him very softly on the lips. "I'm sorry Jack. Maybe I'm just really tired today."

"Oh, well I dont have to come over and study. We can do it another time."

"No, no. It's fine. I want you there." He just smiled. The perfect smile that I loved so much. Then he reached for my hand that made such a perfect fit in his.

When we got to my house we immediatly went to the kitchen to get something to eat. We got all of the junkfood that was in the cupboards and brought them to my room. We put everything down on the floor and got our homework out. We didn't have much so as soon as we finished we started playing video games. When I beat him for the third time in a row, I started to call out that I was the champion. He didn't like that so he started to tickle me.

"That's not fair! I won fair and square!" I said between giggles. As we got carried away, he got on top of me and continued to tickle me. Moments later, we realized what position we were in. I knew it was wrong but I wanted so bad for it to be right. He lowered his head a little and started kissing me. About 2 minutes and a lot of kisses later, his cell phone rang. He quickly got off of me and went to answer it.

"Hello?" he greeted almost out of breath. "Wait hold on. Calm down.(pause) Are you alright?(pause)Okay, I'll be right there, Dakota." and he hung up.

"Excuse me?!!" I blew up. "Dakota just got into a fight with her mom. She needs someone to talk to."

"Well tell her to call a hotline!"

"Look Lexy. Me and Dakota. Well, we understand eachother. We're from the same backround. I've gotta help her."

"Oh yeah, ya know. Dont bother with me. I'm just your girlfriend!"

"Look Lexy. I really gotta go but I'll talk to you later. I promise." And he left. When he did, I started crying and I threw a pillow at the door. Well, if he thinks that I'm gonna sit by while Dakota Matthews steals my boyfriend, he's got another thing comin'. As I put on a jacket, I headed outside to go follow Jack. As soon as I saw him, I sped up enough to see where he was going. Some homeless man stopped me for a couple of minutes and asked me for money. When I finally got away, I lost sight of Jack but I knew that he was going to Dakota's Dad's carshop and I knew exactly where that was. When I got there, I heard two people talking. It was Jack and Dakota but I couldn't make out what they were saying. But when I spotted them, I saw the most horrible sight in my life. My boyfriend was kissing my worst nightmare.

When I started crying I guess I was loud because they stopped and looked over at me.

"Lexy?!" He ran over to me and put his hands on my shoulders. "I didn't mean for you to see that."

"Yeah, I bet you didn't!" I yelled and wiggled out of his grip.

"I can explain, Lexy!" He pleaded.

"Well save your breath. You'll need it for kissing her!" I pointed at Dakota and she gave me a smirk. "I dont want hear it. Better yet, I dont ever want to hear anything from you again! Stay away from me Jack Downey!" and I left crying.
