Dating Triangle
CHAPTER 1
Noise filled Valencia High School's main hallway. Jocks, nerds, and the famous beloved couple, Jesse and Katie were in sight. The two lovebirds paraded through the entrance holding hands and looking glamorous.
"Yo! Wuttup, dawg?" Pete slapped Jesse a high-five.
"Hey, buddy! How's it goin', man?" Jesse replied with a funky high-five of his own and nodded to his other friends that entered a nearby classroom.
"Dude-that algebra test-whew!" He shook his head in dismay.
"W-what? Do you need help?" Katie inquired in a serious manner. Jesse giggled; his girlfriend paid no attention.
"Sure! I studied all night, but this stuff is just incomprehensible!" His hands motioned just how much Pete didn't understand the concept of calculus.
"I'll meetcha in the quad at lunch, and I'll help you with your stuff!" She grinned at Pete and he winked back. He waved and jogged to his locker down the hall.
"Katie, I thought you were having lunch with me today—I wanted to introduce you to my friend Miley. She's really going to like you; I can tell you'll have a lot in common!" Katie looked embarrassed and sorry.
"Uh, Jess-sweetie, I'm so sorry. You know I should help Pete study; he needs my assistance!" She held his hand tenderly, attempting to make him understand that she wished she could eat with him. However, she couldn't due to plans that are more important.
"Ugh. But you promised, Katie! We've been planning this for a week now because we barely ever have lunch together. But I guess I understand, though. Tomorrow cool for lunch instead?" Jesse looked hopeful at the love of his life, and she agreed. They kissed passionately and parted.
As Katie pranced down the steps to class, she spotted Miley Cyrus, her supposed new friend. Jesse has been hanging out with her often lately, she thought. What did I do to deserve this? Her fantasy continued until she accidentally collided with Miley, and both ladies careened down the stairwell, dragging binders, etc. down with them. It was an avalanche. Unfortunately for the two, no one came to their aid. There were only three other students in the vicinity of the accident, but both ran away immediately.
"Watch where you're going," Katie was about to say, but refrained from uttering any rude comments. Miley looks like such a sweet girl, no wonder Jesse is friends with her! She helped Miley up and apologized. Both girls gathered their belongings and looked at each other awkwardly.
"Uh, hi, I'm Miley. Jesse told me about you and wanted us to meet each other. And don't worry about it. I'm fine."
"I know; I just talked to him. However, I can't have lunch with you guys today because I'm helping Pete study for his math exam."
"That's too bad, but I'll catch you two tomorrow. Bye!"
"Later!"
