Chapter fourteen
Duo party
The girls awed at their marvelous arrangements and theme of the party, it wasn't going to be a dull moment. Guests invited with their dates were arriving and everything looked legal only that no waiters walking around with drinks and no round tables for each families but the fun everyone was having was awesome with their dates. Linda was so happy, she could as well be assigned to plan their prom party. Sarah decided against any new dates so she just took the position at the door to welcome dates or couples to be or even couples.

Derek stayed with Jess all the time like he was scared she would run away. Many students shot their surprise stares at them and it only made her uncomfortable. They even heard someone whisper 'they are so hot together, darn they so much fit'. Derek smiled and walked her through the busy party to d kitchen area, it was kind of the only quiet place.

Linda was also having unlimited fun as she and Jason stole the dance floor, she was a lover of music but she never thought her date could be so much of a dancer. She was overwhelmed as he spinned her upside down and still got her in place. She was having so much fun, more like the best party she had ever planned. However, she didn't miss the fact that Derek tried his best to make jess happy and it was working. For the first time, she wasn't doing something stupid because of Dylan and she was smiling.

Sarah was having a good time at the entrance, she got to greet everyone and make sacarstic comments on some girls outfit or even about some of the couples. Just then Mike came in with his date, so much for a lier. So he lied he couldn't get anyone to ask, she laughed. He thought she was stupid. The girl he held as his date was a cute blonde on mini gown with red heels. She faked a smile as she welcomed them in, he even went as far as shaking her, can you imagine? She dug her well fixed fingers into his wrist, so much for being a jerk. He writhed in pain but hid it so well from his date. Served him right. Before he could utter any offensive word, the blonde dragged him forward as she was delighted at the view called party in front of her. He reluctantly followed behind. Sarah guessed his destiny was glued to clingy girls.

Dylan and Shania were having great fun but he was surprised to see Jessica with Derek, he shrugged and turned back to Shania.

"so Shania, what if I kiss you now? " He asked her. " wow that's gonna be fantastic " she replied, still holding on to him. It was time to dance with your date so almost everyone was in. He held her by the waist and bent slowly to kiss her. She chuckled as they broke free to catch their breath.

Jessica managed to catch her breath as she saw Dylan kissing Shania. Immediately, she released herself from Derek's arm and ran towards the back door. This shouldn't be affecting her like this, she thought she was fine until now. Derek ran after her as she made her way towards the backdoor and sat by the swing side. She controlled her tears from falling.

"Jessica, you don't need to tell me what's wrong or explain, just cry all you want, if that's what you want to do right now." She was very thankful, he didn't probe her further, she just rested her head on his shoulder as he sat beside her on the swing.

After some minutes, she was laughing again, he was making her laugh with his jokes. Unknowingly to them, Dylan was walking towards the swing with Shania to say hello.
Derek then asked if jess still wanted to dance but she declined. "I don't want to go back in there, I don't want to embarrass myself any more than I already did" She sniffed. Oblivious to the fact that they had company, he stroked her hair and pecked her forehead.

Dylan stopped on his tracks as the words Jessica spoke were replaying in his head. He felt dizzy, everything felt familiar, her teary face and the smeared mascara, he holding her face in his hands assuring her everything was going to be fine. He still couldn't remember her face as it wasn't clear and it gave him more headache. He held his head and fell to the ground.

Shania was scared, she shouted Derek's name and sat beside Dylan crying. Derek was surprised to see them but he ran to where Dylan was lying down unconsciously. Jessica followed behind dialing Mike 's number. He came immediately and Dylan was carried to the car with Shania following behind crying.

Derek sighed and faced jess. "at least it didn't ruin the party and the students didn't get to witness it, we should head back before Linda suspects anything". She nodded and followed him back inside the party.

Flash back
It was jess nine year old birthday party, and she was very excited, Dylan had got her a very nice present and she couldn't help but feel all giddy. He asked her for a dance and she chuckled, he knew she couldn't dance but he promised to help. Things didn't go as planned as she fell ass down and everyone laughed at her, the celebrant.
She ran out of the dance room with Dylan running behind. She cried her eyes out and he kept apologising and consoling her, he told her they could try again. "No, I can't go back in there, I can't embarrass myself anymore than I have, I just want to stay here with you". He held her face in his hands and assured her all was going to be fine before he finally embraced her.

Evajael you just know that one


Kheriee you're trying gan but one update is not appetizing kwa. Am still salivating pha

Thanks.... I'm trying o... I'm. Lazy buh I'm trying to meet up ni o

Chapter thirteen
Tears and apologies
Shame, no sense of belonging is what you feel after insulting and turning down your best friends in place of someone that doesn't love you.

Sarah couldn't go back to Linda's house, neither could she give her a call. She decided to ride to school alone. She missed their laughter and their talk about fashion on their way to school. She knew it wasn't too late, she could beg and they will accept her but she was ashamed, she couldn't even tell them how Mike had embarrassed her.

She looked around as she parked her car, she felt she was too early to be in school. She decided taking a walk round the botanical garden would be a good idea to kill time. The garden was surrounded by a very big iron fence in which you can see through the big holes in the fence. She took a seat on the bench and watched the free butterflies perch from one flower to another and plants ready to get started for the morning.

"is someone enjoying the view?" came a thick voice beside her. She was annoyed when she saw Mike sitting beside her, she had gone too deep in her thoughts that she didn't evn notice when he came.

"Mike, what do you want? I don't ever want to see you beside me, I hate you so much and I'm not sorry I do".

He was stunned at her outburst, but he knew he deserved it. He had acted too irrational while she was just trying to make the double date worth it. He was here to apologise, only if she would hear him out, he liked her too but he marvelled at how she was allover him, making the first move. "see Sarah, I'm sorry, I know I hurt you that night, even left you stranded but I'm very sorry. I was being selfish, I wanted a date for only the two of us where we could pour our minds out and know more about each other but with you bossing around, and the double date, I was suffocating ". He raised his head to look at her apologetically.

" oh right, I can be a suffocating girlfriend, but what's your job? To correct me and tell me that's not how things should be done, but instead I got insulted. Right, I'm not your girlfriend, so you don't owe me an apology. I even had to ditch and insult my friends because of you, I thought choosing you would be worth it, but what do I get? Embarrassment, loneliness, I don't even know how to face them. And you think a mere apology can solve that? Let me tell you something, I've always been the boss of me, so I'm bossy ". With that she turned to leave but his next request stopped her on her track.

" can you be my date for Linda's duo party tomorrow night? I really don't have who to ask and I'm deeply sorry, I mean it" she smirked at his words, he could be so arrogant. "thanks but no, I'm not an option". Was her reply as she left the garden without taking another glance at him.
**
Jessica and Linda were making a he'll of noise, checking out what they bought for the party preparation and talks about dates. They couldn't wait to laugh at some pairs and see some unbelievable pairs, of course there are some pairs you know you would surely see. Sarah knocked on the door gently but nobody opened, she knocked again and Linda's voice came up. "Sarah, when did you start knocking before entering your own house? Or do you even need to knock before entering my room? Oh I know it's you so come in".

Sarah opened the door and saw that Linda's room was a mess. With her heads down, she cleared a part on the bed and sat down. Jessica asked how her date went but no reply. She and Linda both exchanged a questioned look as Sarah began to sniff, they waited for her to talk.

"girls, I'm very sorry, like I'm so sorry, I thought Mike was it for me, I didn't mean to ditch you guys just like that. It's was only both of you before, yet you allowed me as your number three sister and all I did was insult and choose some guy who doesn't even think I'm worth any pain over you. I'm very sorry, I learnt my lesson and I felt really lonely and shallow. " This time she had began to shed tears uncontrollably as she sniffed some more. Jessica drew her closer to her.

" we knew you would still come around, and we aren't pushing you away. Linda has forgiven you and you are still welcome here. Now tell us about the date. " The enthusiasm was there as they leaned forward to listen to Sarah explain all her ordeals and embarrassment in front of Mike. She didn't even skip the morning event when he arrogantly came with his date ask out for the duo party making it seem like an apology. The girls laughed and told her all was fine. She shouldn't worry about it, they have a very big party to plan.

"I don't think I should be in that party" Came Sarah's voice after the laughter. "I thought you guys said no dates no entry". Linda smiled at her.

"you are a planner, it's not necessary for you to have a date. And of course it's not hard for you to get one either". She told her assuringly.

"what would I have done without you girls? Thanks so much for being there." Sarah sniffed playfully and hugged the girls. Linda burst into a hot laughter as she tumbled upon the balloons on the floor.

EvaJael:

Chapter twelve
Disaster Date
It was Wednesday and everyone gets to watch the football team play and the school's basketball team. Girls, mostly the cheerleaders find the basketball players to be hot, they were playing against another team right after football.

Dylan and Shania sat down on the staircase opposite Mike and Sarah. The football match had started and noise Could be heard along side happy screams. Linda and Jessica sat down at the far end of the other staircase laughing and sharing a cheese pack. Two basketball players, I meant popular basket ball players, Jason and Derek sat beside them, having fun too.

Every minute, Jessica's eyes would travel towards where Dylan was sitting with Shania, she could imagine the happiness they felt with they way there were laughing and playing with each other, even making out sometimes. Derek noticed it, so he decided to change his sitting position. He was now sitting to block Jessica's view towards Dylan, she felt relieved a bit.

Derek has been nursing some feelings towards jess and he felt now was the right time to jokingly bring them out since Linda was here, she could help. He had made little enquiry about her through Linda's help since they were good friends, he had learnt about the one sided love of Jessica which he found absurd but he was ready to change that.

"jess, I've been staring at you for a while now and you can imagine how good you look. Seems I've just got myself a permanent date for duo parties." Derek winked at her. She replied him with a smile. "oh Derek, you can't be serious right. But I really appreciate the fact that you think me to be attractive".

Linda got the message he was trying to send and chipped in. "that's another inspiration on the next theme of my party. A duo party, you must come with your date." they all laughed and continue munching their cheese.

"Mike, we should go on a double date with Dylan and Shania. It's going to be fun". Sarah suggested, looking at Mike. "I don't think it's necessary, I mean we can just go out like only the both of us". He answered her but she didn't oblige. "we should do something different besides I don't think they will have any problem with it. Saturday night." "OK I......

" she didn't allow him complete what he was about to say when she faced Shania and told her about the double date. She told Dylan about it and he agreed. Sarah was extremely happy but Mike faked a smile, he was furious within.
* * * * * *
Saturday evening approached really fast and Sarah couldn't wait for Mike to come and pick her. Linda wasn't happy with her over excited friend and she kept advising her to take it easy, but she was too overwhelmed and instead she replied linda arrogantly.
"Sarah, I think you should take it easy, your makeover is meant to be light, this is dinner, not a party. I can say you are even overdressed. Even Shania's first date, she handled it better than you are doing. It wasn't evn his idea, it's your idea for crying out loud".

"see, Linda just leave me alone. At least you should be happy for me, I'm finally going out on a date with someone I like, while u go under the pretence of saying you aren't ready for a relationship when the truth is that nobody finds you attractive".

Linda raised her head instantly, she was wounded but chose not to say anything. Jessica that had been quiet since decided to talk. "Sarah that's bad of you, she was just trying to help and besides, this clearly shows you will be choosing Mike over us. You haven't even started you are already deserting us, you don't need to be arrogant. Just go, we will be here when you run home crying."

Sarah hissed "I don't need your advice". With that she stormed out of the room, on her way to Mikes car. He faked a smile when he saw her but deep down he was annoyed, the ride to the restaurant was silent but Dylan and Shania were there already.

Sarah screamed when she saw Shania and embraced her. They walked to their table and Sarah decided to be all bossy, ordering for everyone one. "we should be having shrimps with spices, cocktail drinks, blue wine, salad mixture, and of course there should be cheese and chips with full chicken....."

Mike shouted at her, making her trail off on her speech. "would you just shut up? You should have said we were going on charity date where you will be the donor, or what is this nonsense about? Double date my foot".

"you two should calm down ". Dylan's effort in making the situation look less awkward wasn't welcomed as Sarah gave her reply too.

"what's your problem Mike? You have been the only one complaining, you could leave for all I care, I will just pretend like I'm single." Mike gave an hysterical laughter at her statement.

"oh sure, you are single, because I don't remember asking you out or ever calling you my girlfriend, I only invited you to accompany me to a party once and you are here feeling on cloud nine. Of course I can't pull up with someone like you, I can't keep answering the questions of who is the man in the relationship. All you know is crazy fashion and expensive things and meals. " with that harsh statement, he stormed out of the restaurant.

Sarah couldn't hold back the tears, she let them flow freely, after all, her friends were right, she was even humiliated, embarrassed in the presence of Dylan and Shania. She hated Mike.

" don't worry we would take you home" Shania told her, soothing her by the shoulder. She just nodded and followed them to the car.

I'm really grateful guys, wouldn't have done it without you. We made Front Page, I'm so happy.

Chapter eleven
Rage and emotions
One tends to move on when reality sets it evn if the happenings isn't forgotten.

Jessica moved on her life like she wasn't feeling anything or she wasn't hurt, after all, he doesn't comprehend anything that's happening so why is she disturbing herself, for all she cares he could be pretending or could it be that he lost his memory and correla wasn't trying to help. Well it doesn't matter anymore, her life was in danger if she tried to pry and he was happy with Shania so scored Settled. Even Linda and Sarah had began to feel irritated with shania's rantings about how perfect Dylan is and Jessica takes the matter all cool.

The library had now become a place of solace for Jessica but with a good motive, she gets to read all kinds of books for distraction and today wasn't an exception only that jake came to interrupt after so many weeks of their little scandal.

Jessica raised her head from the big textbook she was reading, she almost ran away when she saw jake staring at her from the seat in front of her table. "what the hell are you doing here?"

Jake looked at her apologetically before saying anything. "see jess I'm so sorry for what happened in the storage room, it was very stupid and low of me but I was very grateful when I didn't end up violating you. I haven't the courage to come and apologise because I was scared of Dylan beating me up again or your friends stoning me to death. I'm very sorry and I mean it" he extended a little box he was holding to her, it had a small card and a bold I'm sorry.

She opened the box and found a gold necklace there, tears filled her eyes, she didn't want to think of Dylan's necklace. She perfectly hid her sorrowful face and gave jake a smile. "you aren't buying my acceptance for your apology are you? I will take that as a no and you are forgiven but I don't think i would be able to hang out with you anymore".

"no problem mam as long as I'm forgiven, then see you later, bye". Jake left the library making her release a relieved sigh.

Dylan walked over to her table and drew the sit jake had occupied earlier on. She didn't even give him a second glance. "you shouldn't be talking to that guy you know" he started.

"and who are you to tell me who to talk to?" she fired back at him.

"see, I understand but......"

she cut him halfway through his speech. "the fact that you saved me doesn't mean you can order me around and I've thanked you for that, and oh u even rubbed it in my face, you reminded me that I should be embarrassed and lastly, you said I shouldn't show up in front of you anymore".

He was dumbfounded, he never expected that the carefree and pure hearted Jessica Could be this fierce. He never really meant those words, he just acted them out because that was what his mother wanted, but at that moment, he felt the need to protect her. "I just thought......."

she didn't let him complete his speech again. "please If you don't mind, I will appreciate it if you leave, I need my privacy." He left without saying anything, he met Sarah and Linda at the entrance like they saw everything. He paused to say something but gave it a second thought and left instead. The girls rushed to where jess was sitting and instantly, she knew what they wanted. 'the gist'.

The library section ended with gists and laughter. Jessica decided to grab pack of burgers before they headed home while Sarah and Linda waited back to chat up the old librarian on fashion.

Dylan caught hold of Jessica's hand before she got to the cafeteria. She gave a sound of protest as she turned abruptly towards him using her hands to hit his chest. "what do you want from me? Just what is it Dylan?" he didn't evn know the reason he stopped her anymore so he apologised but she didn't buy his apologies.

"see just leave me alone already, I think I'm in enough danger as it is, I don't even know you and besides, I shouldn't be on a bad term with Shania because of you." with that, she snatched her hands from him and left to get the burger.

Chapter ten
Love or lust
Dinner with Dylan was like a dream come true to Shania, she had done a thorough research on him, he hadnt been any relationship before, to her she was playing the role of his first love, she thought him to be caring, and a real gentle guy.

He opened the door to the restaurant for her, it was a Japanese restaurant, he had booked a table earlier that day and it had roses and short candles. He shifted the chair backwards allowing her to seat, giving her a warm smile.

On the table were plates of well roasted and spiced steaks with plates of sukiyaki and two red wines. There was also green tea inside two small tea cups and fresh sliced fruits to in a ceramic bowl. Shania was speechless. "so does the Princess feel comfortable? Does she like my preparation?" Dylan asked her.

"yes I love it so much. Thank you for taking your time to set all these just for me, I really feel pampered and I never knew you could be so romantic" she replied him smiling all through.

"well I just tried my best at least for a high school boy falling in love, it's a good start. Shall we?" he gestured towards the food and they ate in silence staring at each other on different occasions. Dylan thought Shania to be so pretty, he thought about her lately on which term he doesn't understand or could the reason be because she got close to him and spent more time together, or because she was the only girl he had tried to move close to. He knew he felt something for her but he couldn't place a finger on it, but it wasn't as deep as something he used to feel before for someone he doesn't even know if she exists. Everytime he tried to think really deep about the disturbing thought, he gets a lot of headaches and he wasn't ready to pass out now. Was he inlove or lust?

He just knew he needed her, he needed to love her to clear his head a little, she was always looking perfect and radiant, anytime he waits for her in the dancing room, he always enjoyed the way she moves her body without stress. One part of him doubted the fact that he loves her buh he knew he wanted her.

"could it be that something is bothering you so much? "she snapped him out of his thoughts, then he realised she was looking worried, having dug halfway into her food, his looked like he just took a spoon. He hated the fact that he made her worried.

"not at all, I was just thinking of what to say to you, I don't know how you're gonna take it but trust me I wouldn't want to offend you, if you don't want it you can just tell me".

"shhhh just say whatever you want to say, I'm all ears" Shania replied him but she was scared, she thought he found faults in her, she was already thinking of what to say if he eventually finds something bad in her or maybe she overdressed.

"Shania, I want you. Look if you aren't ready you can decline, well I could wait for you. Buh I want you to know I feel something for you and it's very unusual of me. I think we should stay closer than friends, you could be my girlfriend but that's if you are positive about it".

She was surprised at his outburst, well she expected it, and what does he think he wants her to do, she has been dreaming about being his girlfriend, he even fought for her and waited for her in the dancing room till she finishes rehearsal, he was just so cool, what more could she ask for? He even drops her at home most of the tym, and when he holds her by the waist, it's like heaven. "yes, Dylan yes, I want to be yours, I mean I will gladly be your girlfriend". She looked at him with admiration in her eyes, at this stage, he wasn't sure of his feelings but she was his girlfriend now.

He pushed the chair backwards and stood up to lift her, he engulfed her in a tight heart warming embrace, releasing her, he tilted her chin upwards and brought his lips to hers. She tasted like the red wine, she melted against him and welcomed his kiss. He was gentle and he nibbled at her lower lips, he slid his tongue into her mouth, he tasted like mint. He drew back and kissed her softly again before letting go. "that was awesome" she couldn't contain her excitement.

"you tasted like honey babe. I should drop you at home now". He held her by the waist and they left the restaurant to his car.

* * * * *
"who called? "Jessica asked Linda." it was Shania "." how did her dinner go? "jess asked again without lifting her face from the novel she was reading." jess I'm not sure you wanna hear this". Linda sounded unsure.

"of course I do, don't deprive me of this gist, or do you want me hearing it from a third party? That's not going to be fresh" she lived her face from the novel and gave Linda a protesting look. "alright fine, she and Dylan are now an item and they... They kissed to and she was just gushing about how good it tasted and......" "it's OK, at least I heard the gist already". "jess are you okay?" "yes I am, I just feel slightly hurt, at least I know I lost him forever so it's a good sign I move on quick. I can't snatch shania's happiness away from her"

"oh baby you are just too pure". Linda ran up to the bed to hug her best friend she stayed that way and allow her to tear away freely in her arms. She felt tears sting her eyes also.

Chapter nine
The necklace significance
The trio assisted Shania with her dress and makeup, all done for the night. Jessica picked a red strapless gown with slits by the side, towards the top of the dress were shiny stones and it had a thick ribbon where the slits started from. Sarah picked a black high heels for her and of course the black clutch.

Linda helped with her hair and makeup, and she couldn't be more thankful as she awed at herself in the mirror. She was looking prettier with the help of her new friends, Dylan would be dumbstruck when he sees her, she loved the dress more.

Funny enough, jess wasn't jealous as she dressed Shania up, she felt happy, doing what she knows how to do best. Through out their tour at the boutique, she was full of life, she forgot about Dylan or the threat, she was undergoing her therapy which was shopping and glamour.

Sarah left Linda's immediately she was done, jess has been staying there ever since the threat issue happened. They were still admiring shania's beauty when Dylan honked his car outside Linda's apartment, shania's joy knew no bound as she took careful steps down the stairs with Linda clearly following behind, jess decided to sit back in the room.

Dylan was so awed when he saw Shania, he couldn't hide the smile that tugged at his lips, he thanked Linda and told her to extend his gratitude to the girls. He held Shania by the arm and led her to the car. Opening the door, he gestured "shall we?".

Linda walked quietly into the room, she held jess by the hand who in turn gave her a lazy smile. She understood her best friend more than anyone else, she and jess had been friends right after she got to carlifonia, they met Sarah a year after at school. What attracted her to jess was a new gucci bag she spotted with her and a matching converse at a show, the show always took place in a big bar which isn't far from linda's house.

They engaged in little conversation and exchanged numbers, since then they had been gist partners, shopping partners and they shared one thing in common, no parental attention, this only drew them closer. She and Jessica were like sisters from different parents. "mind joining me the the bar jess?" Linda thought she could lighten up her friend's mood. "no thanks, I'll just be OK, seems I might catch sleep early this evening" jess assured her, still portraying that lazy smile. Linda gave her a peck on the cheek and left for the bar.

Jessica stared at her lost but found necklace, feeling grateful for finding it again. It had a key as the pendant, she and Dylan had exchanged the necklace seven years ago.

She had a feeling they might be separated for a while, maybe they weren't going to the same high school. She had told him not to forget her, to keep the necklace like it was her heart.

He had held her face in his hands and brushed the tears off her face with his thumb telling her that necklace was the key to his heart, she's free to open it anytime she wanted since she had the key and right on that spot, he had given her his very first kiss, their first kiss, a light peck on the lips before they left for the dry garden where after the incident took place she never saw him again till this present.

She wiped the tears that had started to form in her eyes and laid on the bed sniffing under the duvet. She had lost Dylan and now she's a mess. She cried a little till sleep engulfed her, the only remedy to her pain for some hours.

chapter eight
I think you are looking for this?
After the incident that happened at the cafeteria, Cole had been gentle, thankfully he hadnt a broken nose but what happened made him know Shania wasn't worth the fight. After all he could be dead and she wouldn't care, it's Dylan she wanted.

Dylan's status had been upgraded and his popularity grew, girls that never glanced at him before now thought he was sexy and hot, other guys jealousy knew no bounds and of course Shania was on cloud nine and I couldn't understand why, it's not like they were dating already. He was no longer seen as the middle class guy and he now brings his car to school with his own signature, pft! Is that meant to be a show off? In as much as I want to stay away from him, there was this crazy magnet that always pulls me towards him, I wonder why that same magnet doesn't pull him towards me too. He has trampled upon my popularity but I'm not mad and I'm mad at myself that I can't be mad at him.

Linda snapped me out of my thinking state, I gripped my coffee cup harder and stared up at her with a fake smile, no thanks she ruined my thinking mood.

"good morning jess, what have you done to my pretty best friend who does nothing but to comment about fashion and party before class?" she raised a brow at Jessica that is now looking stunned.

"does that mean I'm vain? Oh I so much hate you Linda, ironically but your best friend is still here, she's just observing and by the way where is Sarah?" "uhm she's at the parking lot flirting with Mike of course " jess took her by the arm." let's go, we shouldn't be late for history".

Linda was amazed "wow, wow, and wow. when did you get all ecstatic about history? The Dylan stroke Shania stroke popularity effect is really doing a good job I guess" "oh Linda you can't improve ".

History class was going on well for jess, it was like the first history class she would concentrate and pick out something reasonable from the lesson and her friends were happy about it. Her eyes stopped roaming the whole class when she got Tired of the giddy stares Shania and Dylan were exchanging and of course she didn't miss out on the love letters Sarah and Mike kept exchanging. Was history that horrible of a class?
* * * * * *
Everyone sat down at their table in the cafeteria, hoping for another interesting scene but not the same case for the trio. Shania stopped at their table with her tray of Food.

"girls can I sit here?" she asked the trio. "of course you can sit, here". Sarah patted the chair beside her. Without settling down properly, Shania couldn't wait to spill all what has been happening between her and Dylan. "gosh girls I'm so happy right now, Dylan asked me to dinner earlier today, I know you guys are fashion pros so do you mind picking something nice for me to wear? I must look stunning for him this evening.

Before I forget , after that incident he had been so protective of me like cole's gonna nap me, I feel so loved. And have you seen the way he looks at me? People keep saying we would be a perfect match, I feel it already even before it starts, we are going to be great".

She beamed some more and Jessica felt irritated already, 'we' sounded like her worst word in the dictionary at this moment as Shania emphasised on the two lettered word.

Mike and Dylan's table was opposite ours and I felt irritated already with Shania's rantings. Something caught my eyes on dylan's shirt, my... My necklace, I already threw mine in the bin, he still had it, even though he knew not the significance. Our eyes met and I could see his eyes boring holes into mine already. 'oh jess, you are so stupid how could you have let him catch you staring, you're so in for it' a voice at the back of my mind kept nagging me. I mouthed a quick 'I'll be back to my girlfriends and noise making Shania, I'm sure she never noticed I didn't really pay attention to her.

I hurried past the cafeteria to the bin corner. "ohhh I don't know if I can still see it, it's almost a week now since I tossed it, oh no he still got his" she was interrupted by his thick but sexy voice, she knew instantly that it was him. The way her heart beat fast and the sensational feeling his voice gives her.

"I think you are looking for this" he held up her necklace, but this time he had tucked his properly inside his shirt. As if he was going to ask further questions, his mouth parted, and she could do nothing but stare at his lips. Shania's loud voice ringing from the hallway halted the tension and she found herself saying to him.

"I shouldn't cross your part anymore, thanks for helping me find my necklace, I should be going to the library". She mentally slapped herself for that cranky speech she gave as she walked faster than usual to the library. Shania could be so impossible when she pecked him and he slid his hand round her waist as they strolled back to the cafeteria.

Chapter seven
I'm not middle class
Sundays were like days to showcase new designer brand of clothes, bags and shoes for the girls. The big St mattews church was well known and occupied by elites and the masses, there wasn't any discrimination and people felt free worshipping there.

Jessica decided to update her friends about the new bad development in her life as they engage in a little chit chat after service, she thought telling them about the threat was a good idea. "girls, you won't believe someone I know not, threatened me over the phone all because of Dylan and my mom won't even listen to me. I'm so scared"

"see jess you should stop disturbing your heart or panicking over Dylan and your imaginary past and save yourself all these crises. Ever since you started all these nonsense about him, you haven't been yourself, let's forget about all and act like you never knew him, tch it's not like he isn't living a new life, he doesn't even know you" Linda chipped in getting bored already. Without taking her eyes off a particular direction.

Sarah got the girls attention. "speaking of which you should save yourself the stress of further explanation, I think Shania is the new catch and they would be gloriously happy".

They all faced the same direction, seeing Shania all over Dylan, there was a bright smile of satisfaction in his eyes and it was like he couldn't get his eyes off shania's lips. "awwww they look so cute together, but sorry to offend you jess" Sarah said nonchalantly.

"it's not like they are dating anyways" jess tried to make her inner mind happy. Linda swallowed her comments before she says something that would make Jessica's eyes teary till eternity.

They were still gazing at the happy Shania when Jessica caught Sarah drooling, over what? Mike was walking through the church garden towards them, oh no he must not see her friend in this state. She gave Sarah a sharp pinch on the but and whispered in her ears. "you are drooling and he's almost here" Sarah almost jumped out of her skin as she tried to compose herself. Linda couldn't stop laughing, holding her belly. There's nothing more fun than watching your stupid friends misbehave
* * * * * *
Going to school now felt like hard work for Jessica, she wished she could go back to the girl she was before meeting Dylan again, today could be different in school, after all she wasn't having history today and it's a bit of relief.

Walking sluggishly as usual to the bathroom, she wasn't feeling her fashion sense or she could just call the school and say she was having fever but no, she has to continue watching the new episode of Shania and Dylan in as much as she hates to admit she's jealous, she still wanted to know what is really going on with them. Thinking about that boosted her ego to go to school, even if she was going through a lot, she was still the same Jessica, no news must fly around school without her being the first to be informed. Shania is the leader of the cheerleaders so it's easy to get gists from her during practice where she gives design opinions and of course they were both rich kids.

Events that took place in the school didn't play as Jessica had planned, it seems Dylan wasn't in a good mood but who cares, he's a threat to her life. The cafeteria was lively as usual and lunch seemed more pleasant to to the ear today buh everyone had to stop halfway in their meal as the famous, most handsome Cole walks up to Dylan with his two friends who I call his bodyguards, tho too skinny but since I see them around him always, they could also be called that.

Cole has a thing for Shania but it's obvious she's not interested so he decided to pick her next centre of attraction which is Dylan. I think I'm giving out too much information, to cut the long explanation short, he held Dylan by the collar and said through gritted teeth.

"who the hell do you think you are? You middle class idiot" Phew that really hit Dylan as he shook cole's hand off, without pausing giving him a big punch on the nose, his two thin body guards Could do nothing as Dylan flexed his well worked out muscle, I can't be checking him out right now. He lifted Cole by d collar and said to him, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I think it's high time you know who I am, I'm not middle class, and I'm the only heir to nikkisride boutique and the perkins company. I hope you are satisfied with that little piece of information". Loud gasps were heard from all corners of the cafeteria and shania's unnecessary squeals. Dylan sure knows how to introduce himself in the most sexy way. Oops I'm out of here.

Chapter six
Even if it's just a minute
Jessica woke up on Linda's bed, head throbbing. So much for a hangover, her best friends were sitting at the end of the bed staring at her, dressed for the day and she could see some of the equipments used for the party right back in the room. She sat up to say something with a grin on her face.

"so what's the time?" she ask unsure of herself if that was the right thing to ask. "it's ten minutes past eleven for your information baby"
Sarah responded not feeling the atmosphere of the room. "how did I get into bed because I don't trust the both of you to carry your drunk friend up the stairs, or don't tell me you hired some guy to tuck me to sleep. And these, how did I get injured?" she touched the corner of her lower lip.

"oh jess could you stop ranting already? Dylan rescued you again. Oh my bad I would just say yes he tucked you to bed, he carried you all the way through the staircase" Linda replied sacarsticaly. None of them spoke for some minutes but they could see the embarrassment that spread across jess face. Matter was switched as none of them ventured into the matter again.

Applying makeover on her face and chatting the whole afternoon away with her best friends about the party, Jessica got a phone call from her mom.

"hey baby, I and your dad will be stopping by the house briefly, we have a flight to catch in two hours so we just thought we could see our little princess's face for some minutes before heading for the journey. See you at home in thirty minutes time" she hung the call without allowing her say a word.

"girls I have to go, catch you guys at church tomorrow morning, my mom will be home in thirty minutes" she gave her friends the same lovely smile they shared and didn't forget to say to Sarah before closing the door behind her. "I think you should move closer to Mike, he might feel the same way about you if you guys turn out to be great friends". She turned the doorknob and took quick steps down the staircase.

Mr and Mrs Wilson enveloped their daughter in a bear hug, she was turned around to receive two hearty pecks from the both of them. "aww my daughter is pretty as ever and she has grown more mature. You know what baby? Mommy missed you and she bought lots of goodies for you" she giggled at her daughter who seemed to be getting bored.

"oh not as much as daddy loves you honey" he grinned from ear to ear like a kid as he tossed the key of the new car he just bought for her in her fragile palm. He faced his wife who was now finding her way to the kitchen. "sweetheart I think we should be heading to the airport now, we have just one hour left". "right away dear, you know how much I've missed my vitamin juice".

Jessica walked up to her mom. "mama, I want to talk to you about something and it's been bothering me" without allowing her to complete her words, Mrs Wilson shouted over her shoulder after taking her bag of the couch. "honey we should have that discussion later, and if its about your new boyfriend, just ditch him if he's messing up, kidding. Mom will be back soon".

With that, they both left for the airport leaving their daughter all alone again. Jessica said, more like a whisper to herself. "even if it's for a minute mom, it's not about a new boyfriend mom, it's Dylan" she felt hot tears sting her eyes as her fone rang. She couldn't identify the voice on the other end but she was terrified. "you shouldn't discuss Dylan or correla with your parents or you will be in great danger, save yourself more heartache miss Jessica". With that the strange voice hung up. She was scared, her whole beautiful life is turning into a horror movie.

Chapter five
At the party
Dylan woke up in his room, beside him on his side stool beside his bed were drugs and syrups. He had passed out again trying to remember something. He couldn't understand why all these was happening and his mother keeps assuring him nothing is wrong, he was just hallucinating. He climbed out of bed, unlocked the door and stood at the top of the stairs, his parents were having a heated quarrel just like they used to anytime his father comes home, he could pick little out of their discussion trying to relate it with what has been happening to him.

"he passed out trying to remember something" his mother shouted.

"but something familiar would have initiated it, you are his mother, staying with him, see if anything goes wrongly, you will pay dearly. You will stay behind bars and I will watch you suffer" his father fired.

Before he could move any further, his mother talked again. "you should be ashamed of yourself, yeah are gonna hit me again? You only come home when he passes out, you are so awful. It's you that will rot behind bars".

Without hesitation, his father turned back to hit his mother but his hand was held by Dylan. "don't u dare try that. I'm not that little boy that would stand by doing nothing while u hit my mom. You know what? I hate you so much, I'm so ashamed of you I prefer to walk to school everyday other than taking your car to school with your signature, I would be so embarrassed if anyone knew you are my father. Next time you try it, I promise to do more to you. " he dragged his mother by the arm leaving his father awed. He had a party to catch up on later in the night.
* * * * * * *
Linda threw the best parties in JKF, all the rich kids, in fact everyone came except if you don't feel like it. She walked round the party making sure everyone was having Fun, nobody dare felt dull in her party. She was surprised to see Dylan and Mike walk in, this was the first time they were attending any high school party. He was sure hot as hell, now she saw why her friend was gushing over him. She walked up to them to thank them for coming after offering them beer.

Jessica wasn't having a good time at the party, she was still reminiscing about what happened at school and Dylan had passed out but she could do nothing, he warned her never to cross his path and she won't.

She decided to drink herself to stupor, it would help forget everything so she could have a good time, he wasn't worth it if all he would do is embarrass her. She mustered courage and drank the beer and wine that has alcohol above fifteen percent. Even though it burnt her throat, she only stopped when she knew she was high enough. She laughed hysterically at nothing and joined the guys in playing pool, she did more shots and was looking for the rest room before she stumbled against a stool and fell flat. She chuckled lightly as tears began to flow freely down her cheek.

Dylan was checking out the whole party, he wondered how a high school girl could throw such cool parties without her parents bothering.

Walking through the narrow part towards the rest room he saw Jessica sprawled on the floor, she was injured, blood was oozing out from her nose and the corner of her mouth. He pushed his way past the drunk nd Hot teenagers to where Linda was, he asked for her room key and she gave him without hesitation and watched him carry injured Jessica upstairs.

Of course, these two might have had a past together, if not why would he bother helping her after nagging her at school earlier today, he could have just informed one of her friends to help her out.

Dylan managed to open linda's room and placed jess on the bed, he got the first aid kit nd stopped the blood from rushing, applying ointment on the corner of her mouth, he was tempted to trace his fingers on her face. What was it about this girl that causes fight in his family, that makes him encounter nightmares, that makes him melt inside but yet he couldn't be close to her. He cleaned the blood and rested her head properly on the pillow before Leaving the room, he locked the door and went back to the party.

Morning ya all. I don't know if you guys like the story.
This is actually the first one I have written.

chapter four
Stay away
"mom I saw what just happened few minutes ago" Dylan said in an accusing tone facing correla.

"my baby boy do you know that girl?"

"of course but we don't talk, we only attend the same school " he replied.

"good, I don't want you making friends with her, Mike is enough of a friend for you OK. " Correla responded by giving Dylan a pat on his shoulder buh he shot back at her immediately.

"see mom you won't choose whoever I decide to be friends with, I feel isolated enough, don't u get it? " Correla knew she might loose this one just now so she put on her best puppy face to attract her son's sympathy. "mom you know how I hate it when your eyes are teary, alright I will do what you ask of me, I will stay away from her but I must know, I won't stop trying to find out why I didn't know my even my own name when we first got here and why that girl you hate so much keeps appearing in my nightmares."

With that he stormed off and left his mother to catch her breath, her son was coming up again, he was growing to become the Dylan she thought has been buried but he's beginning to remember and she felt insecure again.
* * * * * * *
Attending school the next day was like punishing Jessica, she had been in the hallway, standing by Dylan's locker. Her plan was to be the first to talk to him, persuade and beg him not to tell anyone about the storage room incident and probably thank him very well. But she was brought out of her perfect plan thought with Dylan hitting his locker door so hard, she almost jumped out of her shoes.

"good morning Dylan..... Humm thanks for the other day.... And I... Ummm.... Was... Did...".
"see, jess or whatever is your name, I'm not that kind of dude that spreads that kind of news just because I wanna be awarded superman and you are welcome it's my pleasure but stay out of my sight and never corner me into petty talks." with this, he walked out on her to his class for that morning.

She was dumbfounded, she couldn't imagine how love could turn to hate, it's so absurd. Without stopping it, she let the tears flow freely down her cheek, no this was the last time she will get herself embarrassed.

"Mike I feel bad for what I did to jess today, she only wanted to thank me and secure her reputation, but I can't go back to apologise " Dylan was punishing his salad with his fork at the cafeteria facing Mike.

"Well I guess your mom is moulding you into becoming a bad guy. Just kidding but I suggest you should move closer to that girl, find out why she's been clouding your nightmares and of course she could settle your doubt about how you once lived, though I feel you are crazy when you tell me it feels like this is the second time you are existing. Your mom won't get to know. " Mike offered.

He took the advice but went against it when he sighted Jessica and her friends telling her to toss something into the bin saying it's no use.

After their departure, he moved closer to take a look at what had been tossed but got more confused when he found a replica of the necklace he never took off. That moment, objects became blurry, he was dizzy buh voices were ringing in his head.' I will always be there for you', 'wear it everyday like it's my heart'. The necklace, it had a meaning, and it correlates with his past but he couldn't recognise the little girl holding the necklace before everything became blank, he passed out.

Chapter three
Shopping therapy
"jess will you come out of the shower now? " Sarah sighed, jess has been in the shower for close to an hour Now. She explained her ordeal with jake to her friends and she said she felt dirty, thet understood her perfectly and the embarrassment of Dylan coming to save her sounds really ironic. They still don't believe the nightmare she keeps having is a memory from childhood, they just felt it's her crush on him that's causing it. Either which way she should leave the shower.

"Sarah, Linda, do I look neat, hope I don't have smug slippery saliva on my face". Jess said in a panicked tone.

Linda put an arm round her neck to calm her down. "baby you're fine, still pretty as ever, well it's not like you haven't kissed him before". Jess threw her fluffy slippers at her.

"I don't know I just feel so.... I feel dirty, girls his crazy tongue was licking my face up, and I just felt embarrassed when Dylan came to save me, how will I go to school tomorrow? Will he tell everyone I was assulted? It's going to spoil my reputation" jess broke down in tears again, she was confused, neither Sarah nor Linda knew what to say to console her.

"why don't we go for lunch?" Linda suggested.

"I'm not hungry".

"how about we go shopping? You know new outfits, makeover and all. It would give the whole school something to talk about instead of the incident" Sarah tried.

"you are right, let's try nikkride stores then, they have cool stuffs". At last, jess gave in.

The journey to the boutique was a silent one with Sarah driving, Linda trying to fix jess brooch properly. "you know girls, I think shopping is our therapy for curing boredom nd fraustration" Sarah said.

"yeah I agree. And there's this little cool party I would like to throw for a reason I don't know. I just feel we haven't thrown a party in months" Linda quipped.

"you know I won't take that as a jest, we need to blow of steam, a cool party is a good suggestion". Linda said walking briskly towards the boutique door while the other girls followed.

"shopping is the real gig girls" Sarah said through laughter picking up some colourful tops and wedges. Jess choose some dinner gown and heels. She spotted some designer bags and dragged Linda along with her, the bags were so amazing, Linda couldn't help but comment. "God bless our parents for being so rich. We need to shop all we want girls, we can't look like a clown at our own party. Our credit cards are loaded. I should go for the makeup nd jewelries, choose very nice bags dear". She ran off.

Poverty was something this girls never faced and the fact their parents were always busy travelling allover the world didn't help matters at all. They knew no parental love but they were happy they had all they wanted without interruption.

After picking several bags and shoes, jess decided to pack them up for payment, the cashier was very friendly but alarmed at the rate the girls shopped, she decided they should be given discount.

Calling upon the owner of the boutique wasn't a good idea as correla walked up to the girls to give the highest shoppers of the day their discount. Time stood still for a while as correla and Jessica engaged in a stare down.

Correla was Dylan's mother and she wondered what jess was doing in carlifonia. Jess couldn't fanthom what was happening as correla tried to be formal, oblivious to the fact that they knew each other. She gave them the discount and thank the girls.

Just as she was about to go, jess called out to her. "correla!"

she turned back with a stern face and said to jess "I'll appreciate if you don't stop by to shop here anymore". Jess was transfixed and couldn't move until her friends pulled her to move.

She was surprised, if correla had that kind of boutique, why does Dylan walk to school everyday? She also gave her cold shoulders, correla was a good woman who would tell Dylan to give her apple pies every weekend when they were still kids, so what happened? Maybe shopping wasn't a good therapy after all.

Chapter Two
Storage Room
Jessica
Sarah's screams can make you bolt out of a moving car. Sure I was absent mindly staring at Dylan but I still wonder if he remembers anything about our childhood. We are like total strangers now, and of course I'm an intelligent girl but my grades in history is nothing to write home about and that's because it's the only class I take with Dylan.

He now walks to school everyday and after school, I catch no sight of him anywhere, he's so weird. He's the hot nerd guys seems to be jealous of at school and they think he is middle class, though that's what I think too. I don't know if it's a crush I have on him or still what I feel about him since childhood. He never talks to me and I never tried to again after the Hallway embarrassment he gave me when I tried to catch his attention.


Yes these are all what goes through my mind in history class whenever I look at Dylan and I'm only brought back to my senses with a painful tap at the back of my head from Linda. My crazy friends know about my journey to the dreamland when it comes to Dylan but they never think he's hot, and he's not on our level. After class I packed my stuffs and hurried past Dylan, I can't spend another tormenting moment in that class.

I gushed for breath without waiting for my friends past the storage room. A strong hand gripped my arm and put a hand over my mouth so I couldn't scream. Being who I am, my mind had started to think of different things. I have always heard of horrible things that happens in the storage room but I never for once thought I would be a victim. At least I should see Dylan and tell my friends I love them for the last time before my death.

Just as I opened my eyes, what! "jake, how could you, I mean why would you?"

"shhh you shouldn't make anymore noise. Jess I still love you but give me another chance, I know I messed up ". Jake could ramble on for all I care but right now, I'm just mad at him, he could tell me this over a coffee, why here? I'm sure he has ulterior motives.

" Jake get your hands off me, why would you nap me inside here just to say shit? I mean I don't understand". I growled through gritted teeth.

"you know what? I knew you would prove stubborn. Do you think I will date the prettiest and richest girl in school without getting my hands on her? You won't even let me explore you and I guess now is the chance, you will come back for more when I get through you this once". He had an evil grin on his face and even though it was dark, I could see it.

Jake had been my first high school sweetheart in freshman' s year but he had cheated on me with several girls and still came begging. As naive as I was, I will always forgive him but restricted him from touching me. I broke the whole thing up in sophomore year when I couldn't bear it anymore. Jake could be a sweetheart but I have never seen him this fierce.

I can't believe I'm gonna loose my v card in a storage room to Jake. I've always dreamt of it with candles and roses, oh no I'm loosing it. Just at that time, I felt jake' a tongue all over my earlobe and nape, his hands going further under my shirt, I felt dirty. I was pinned to the wall, I couldn't breathe or scream, I could only feel tears streaming down my cheeks, Jake was gonna take advantage of me, I would probably commit suicide afterwards.

I thought I was imagining it until I heard a loud thud at the other end of the room, Jake was flung to the other side, away from me, I felt relieved but shocked when he cupped my wet face in his hands and mouthed a "are you okay?" to me. Oh my God, it's Dylan, he came to my rescue.

I thought he hated me. I could only manage a ragged thank you while nodding, I was choking on my own tears. He let me sit on the floor while he finished his business with Jake, he hit him several times and I could smell blood in the storage room, Dylan opened the door to lead me out, the hallway was empty, that was enough relief but I noticed something, his eyes were a charming bright blue instead of the grey I used to see in the nine year old eyes of his.

***************************************************
chapter one
The Nightmare
It was the spring season of the year in the southern state, one season my family considered to be very harmful to kids health because of the windy nature. But I, Jessica Wilson thinks life is all about risk. Playing with dry sticks and brown leaves in the field made other kids think I was weird but I had a partner, Dylan Perkins.


Laughing and tossing on the dry leaves was fun, throwing sticks at each other and forming lines on the dry sand. Not until the unexpected happened, then I knew the spring season could be really harmful. He didn't let me feel it, I wanted to see it, it was approaching real fast and there was no where to run to, he shielded me with his body, his weight pressed against my tiny frame, pinning me to the ground.

He was just nine years old but he was well built and gorgeous, I didn't have much time to fantasise about his features before the unexpected happened.

He shielded me from the light but harmful tornado, he risked his life for me, the sight was horrible, I perceived dust and dry leaves but the sight before me when I pushed him to get up after the incident haunted me till now, it was horrible and I'm still screaming just like how I screamed at the horrific sight. The same nightmare again.

I woke up screaming with beads of sweats on my forehead, chest rising and falling, my heart beat at an absurd rate. I grabbed the bottle of water on my lampstand and took a quick gulp before I could calm down. "will I have to face this every morning?" I had to prepare for school, checking the time, I had two hours to prepare. Walking round the house, as usual my parents had left for work, I called my friends to let them know I was going to be their ride for today.
* * * * * * *
"did you see Brad shaw's new ad about his new designs? Oh how I love them so much especially the flair designer skirt. Jess, you should try checking it out ". Sarah was one dramatic freak when it comes to designer clothes, and bags but like the kind of world my group of three revolves around, the whole high school students of JKF knows we were the most respected rich kids in school and Sarah won't stop squealing about Brad shaw's new design.

Linda at the back sit with her head phone intact is an Rhythm and Blues freak, well I like her that way, she could be boring sometimes but she's an extremely good cook and party planner.

What should I say about myself? I'm the prettiest of course, I'm effortlessly pretty but give me all the time in the world and I will still forget to either put a lip gloss on my lips or an eyeliner to complete my makeover. But we just cool that way.

My everyday nightmare graced my sight as he walked through the school gate as usual. I don't know who he is anymore, I don't know what had happened but the Dylan I once knew was a rich kid but now we don't even talk, he doesn't even glance my way like he never knew me. I could be in trance forever watching Dylan walk into the school compound every morning.

"jess we aren't going to make it to history class if you keep staring at him. It's probably no use, you really suck at that subject ". Linda screamed.
