Right now I'm 16. I haven't changed that much, I lost my pigtails, I wear my hair out straight and I put much more make up on. My style is the same, fabulous in Ghetto. Jake and Spud are still my friends. We hang out a lot. My dad is away, like always and my mom, well she just didn't change. I woke up this morning and got ready to go to school. I'm kind of late, but I don't care. I took my backpack and my skateboard and went outside. On the way I met Jake and Spud.
"Hey, Trixie, wait up" Jake called.
I got the shivers once he raced in front of me. I kind of got over my crush on Jake, so it wasn't a problem. (I think…)
"Wassup Jakey-boi? How's it going spuddy?" I said.
"Nothing much, except I have dragon training every day, 5 hours this month and I have to baby-sit Hailey 2 hours, even though she's 12." Jake complained. He's always busy, he's either training with his gramps or he's spending time with his girlfriend, that Rose girl. He doesn't have much time to hang around with me and spud.
"Aww, sorry Jakey. So spud, you still trying to go out with Stacey?" I asked Spud.
"Yea, apparently she doesn't notice the attention I'm giving her, I'm gonner try and go out with Natasha if Stacey doesn't notice me." Spud said, even though he's a genius, he doesn't show it.
"So who wants to go to the skate park after school?" Jake asked. Spud looked at him in surprise.
"Sure Jake, we can hang out!"
I said that, but I didn't quite mean it, cause I knew he'll bring Rose along with him.
In the school corridor
OMG!! Kyle was heading my way! I didn't know what to do. So I hid my face in my locker.
"Trixie, hi!" Kyle said to me, grinning.
"O-oh, hi!" I smiled at him sheepishly.
There he was smiling back at me. I love his shiny greenish brown eyes!
"I just wanted to ask you something. Will you go out with me on a date?" He looked at me, searching for an answer in my expression.
"Umm, yeah, ok, sure." I said to him.
"How about tomorrow at 8, will that be ok?'' He asked me.
"That's just fine, see you then."
Did he just ask me out to go on a date? I think I'm going to faint.
The bell rang and I headed to class. Jake and Spud sat next to me, like always! So, there I was half asleep, not noticing the teacher talking, I think he was talking about algebra or something. When the bell rang, I headed out of the class and hurried to go home, as it was the end of school. I heard someone calling me. I think it was Jake.
"Hey, Trixie, Trixie! Wait for me!!" He called.
I turned around and I saw Jake.
"What's up with the running?" Jake asked me.
"You won't believe who just asked me out!"
"Kyle?"
"How did you know?" I looked in surprise
"Everybody in this school knows." He laughed
"How, When, What, Where? Who told you?" I looked in his eyes, in a hurry.
"Oh, just this little birdie…" He joked around.
"Anyway, it doesn't matter, I have to but a buy a new outfit so bye!!" I told him and ran off.
Later on that day
Spud came over to my house. He wanted to show me this new video game he got.
"Trixie, do you know?" He asked me while we were playing the game and I was really confused.
"Know what?" I asked him.
"Oh so you don't know, that's good then."
Man, spud was so confusing. The question made me curious. I just had to ask him what was up.
"And now I wanna know." I looked at him, my arms crossed.
"Do you still have a crush on Jake?" Spud asked me and didn't know what to say…
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it for a long time." I said, even though I did think about him a lot…
"Well you should."
"What? Why?"
"Because I know a secret." Now I was really curious.
"What kind of secret" I asked him.
"I promised not to tell but you're my best friend too so…"
"Come on, tell me."
"Jake had a crush on you since he was 10." Spud whispered.
I was shocked. Jake, having a crush on me, I didn't even know.
"What? Seriously"
"Yea, He just told me yesterday." He looked like he really meant it. But I knew it couldn't be true.
"Yeah, that's funny Spuddy but I know your joking, Jake and you just wanted to play a trick on me, well you won't get way with it…" I said smiling…
"No, seriously, no jokes." Silence filled the room… I was speechless. I didn't ask no more questions or talk about it till Spud went home. I mean it was crazy… Why didn't I know about this? Why is he dating Rose then? Ahh, there were so many questions and I needed the answers but I couldn't think about Jake right now. I needed to get ready for my date with Kyle tomorrow.
