Pudding walked down the road and saw two familiar shapes, smiling with linked arms, and her jaw dropped. Surely it couldn't be…? But as she stormed over to them with tears in her eyes she knew it was, and it hurt so much, not only that Taruto was with another girl, but because of the girl.

And her name was Dariselle.

She was fuming. Absolutely fuming! Dariselle knew that she and Taruto were an item, so why was she curling up next to her boyfriend?! But suddenly, she stopped still as Dariselle made a massive scene of kissing him, using extravagant motions and gasping loudly as though they were making out and not just kissing. Or were they? She gasped as Dariselle smiled through the kiss and looked over at her maliciously.

So you're with her,

Not with me.

I hope she's sweet and so pretty

I hear she cooks delightfully

'A little angel beside me'.

So you're with her,

Not with me

Oh how lucky one man can be

I hear your house is smart and clean

Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen

Oh how lovely it must be

When you see her sweet smile, baby,

Don't think of me

And when she lays in your warm arms

Don't think of me.

So you're with her,

Not with me

I know she spreads sweet honey

In fact your best friend, I heard he spent

Last night with her

Now how do you feel, how do you feel?

When you see her sweet smile, baby,

Don't think of me

And when she lays in your warm arms

Don't think of me.

And it's too late

And it's too bad

Don't think of me.

And it's too late

And it's too bad

Don't think of me.

Does it bother you now, all the mess I made?

Does it bother you now, the clothes you told me not to wear?

Does it bother you now, all the angry games we played?

Does it bother you now, when I'm not there?

When you see her sweet smile, baby,

Don't think of me

And when she lays in your warm arms

Don't think of me.

And it's too late

And it's too bad

Don't think of me.

And it's too late

And it's too bad

Don't think of me.

Dariselle smiled and looked back at the girl across the road as she planted her lips on his, wanting to laugh. This was revenge for being called 'That girl'. Her name was Dariselle LeTinye, and it would not be forgotten!

FLASHBACK

Dariselle and Pudding were hanging out with Youki Azumi when Youki asked- "Whatdyou think boys would call me?" Pudding giggled and said- "You don't have to worry about that. You're already with someone!" Youki smiled and thought about her boyfriend, just as he came, took her hand and pulled her to her feet. "Hey my babylove," he grinned, kissing Youki. Pudding looked back to a jealous Dariselle and said; "I bet boys would call you that girl," she teased, but Dariselle glared at her and Pudding jumped. Dariselle had never glared at her before- they were best friends!

"I've had it with you two!" Pudding screamed, stomping over to them as Dariselle released Taruto and she laughed to Pudding's face, which wound her up even more. Taruto looked guilty and couldn't even look her in the eye. "Taru-taru," she said angrily, looking at the boy shuffling his feet. "We're over. Dariselle," she said with even more hostility, looking at the girl who just shrugged and tossed her brown hair. "I do not want anything to do with you, you bitchy bunny-boiler." Dariselle burned bright red and slapped her. One side of Pudding's face was red in the shape of a hand, the other side its normal colour. Pudding raised her fist, but Taruto grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him. "Hey, hey," he said quietly, stroking her hair. "I'm sorry, my baby," he said quietly, rocking her. She still struggled and protested, so he began to sing her favourite song.

"Don't know much about your life,

Don't know much about your world

But don't wanna be alone tonight on this planet they call Earth

You don't know about my past and

I don't have a future figured out.

And maybe this is going too fast

And maybe it's not meant to last

But what'dyou say to taking chances?

Whatdyou say to jumping off the edge

Never knowing if there's solid ground below

Or hand to hold

Or held to me

Whatdyou say

Whatdyou say?

I just wanna start again

And maybe you could show me how to try

Maybe you could take me in

Somewhere underneath your skin

What'dyou say to taking chances?

Whatdyou say to jumping off the edge

Never knowing if there's solid ground below

Or hand to hold

Or held to me

Whatdyou say

Whatdyou say?

And I feel my heart beating down fast

And I always come back for more yeah

So talk to me talk to me like lovers do

Walk with me walk with me like lovers do

Like lovers do

What'dyou say to taking chances?

Whatdyou say to jumping off the edge

Never knowing if there's solid ground below

Or hand to hold

Or held to me

Whatdyou say

Whatdyou say?

Don't know much about your life

And I don't know much about your world."

Pudding stopped struggling and nestled into him, sobbing. Dariselle just glared at them, resenting them both. But she knew Pudding couldn't stay mad at anyone for long. And she knew she was wrong to have hurt her. Dariselle suddenly burst into tears and threw her arms around Pudding. "I'm so sorry," she cried. Pudding smiled warmly and hugged Dariselle. "S' OK." she lied. It would take more than tears and an insincere apology to regain the years of trust, friendship and respect that had just shattered between them.
