Ramona POV

I leaned against the kitchen wall, and glanced at the clock. 2:00 am? The New Year started two hours, yet I felt this year had already been days.

Ok, the night had not been that long, but many things happened. Lola kissed Popko. I kissed Jackson. Wait a minute, that's wrong. Lola kissed Jackson, and I kissed Popko.

I shivered. Nasty. I didn't really like Popko, I was just caught up in the moment. Everyone looked happy and in love, and I felt like I was just there, with no purpose. I took one look at the blissful kiss Jackson and Lola shared, took another look at Popko then just swooped in.

Why Jackson's attraction to Lola bother me, I have no idea. Well actually I had some idea. I felt like a terrible friend, but ever since Lola decided she like Jackson, I realized I did too.

However there is no way I can do anything about it. Lola was really the only friend I had, and I'd sound petty if I said, "I've known this guy forever but now that you like him I like him too."

After thinking for about an hour, I decided to hit the hay.

I awoke around noon to the sound of Max playing that stupid trombone. Obviously Jackson woke up because Max was in his room. Jackson moved like a turtle out of his room into the kitchen.

"Morning, sweetie." DJ said as she kissed Jackson's cheek. My mom leaned over and did the same thing to me. I smiled at them, then dug into my waffles.

Ok so this was kinda an intro... next chapter will be longer and better. Please Review!
