JJ was standing at her locker putting her things away when Chris Raab walked over. She smiled at him but didn't speak.

"What's up?" he asked.

"Dunn's mad at me. And now Bam is too," she said.

"About what?" he asked.

"You don't know?" asked JJ. "I figured he would've told you by now. It's already after second period."

"I haven't seen him yet today. So what's going on?" asked Raab.

"I was dating Dunn," said JJ.

"I knew that. Who didn't?" he chuckled.

"Bam," said JJ looking at her feet.

"What? Seriously?" said Raab. "I figured he would be the first person you told."

"I was going to tell him. But how do you tell your best friend you're dating his other best friend?" said JJ.

"You got a point. I mean, hell, Bam's been carrying a torch for you for almost a year now," said Raab.

"What?" asked JJ looking at him.

"Does no one notice this shit!" he said. "Look, forget I said anything, okay?"

"Okay," said JJ.

"See you after school," he said hugging her.

"Yeah…" she said heading to her third period.

(LATER IN THE DAY)

JJ was sitting on the hood of Ryan's car. Bam, Dunn, and Raab were walking across the lot towards the car. Suddenly Bam punched Raab's arm and started shouting. Dunn shook his head and kept walking. He ignored JJ as he unlocked the car. She sighed as she climbed into the back seat. Raab climbed in next to her before Bam and Dunn got in. The ride back to Bam's was quiet. No one was talking.

Dunn pulled into the driveway and parked the car. Everyone piled out and into the house. JJ disappeared up the stairs to the spare room. She grabbed her skates and headed back down the stairs. April was in the kitchen with the boys when JJ walked by. When the boys ignored her, April walked out on the front porch. JJ was putting her skates on.

"What are you doing?" asked April.

"Headed home," said JJ.

"Do you need a ride," asked April.

"Naw. I'm gonna skate. It will give me time to think," said JJ standing up. "Bye."

April waved at JJ as she skated off down the road. The boys were still in the kitchen when she went back in the house. "What happened?" she asked.

"Huh?" came the replies.

"JJ just left. On her skates. What happened?" asked April.

Raab was the one who spoke first. "JJ was dating Dunn but didn't tell Bam and then I told her that Bam's been carrying a torch for her for almost a year!"

April shook her head. "Were you ignoring her for the past three months?" she asked Bam. "It was quite obvious there was something going between them."

"Well…I…its…" mumbled Bam.

"You didn't wanna believe it?" asked April.

When Bam didn't answer she continued. "Are you still going over there tonight?"

Bam shook his head no. April nodded as she started on dinner for that night.

(JJ's HOUSE)

"Did you tell everyone?" asked her mom.

"Almost," said JJ as she took her skates off.

"Who else is left?" asked her mom.

"Bam, Dunn, and Chris," replied JJ.

"The three people you talk to the most."

"I tired to tell them today, but it just never worked out," said JJ.

"Call Bam and let him know. We leave at the end of the week," said her mom.

JJ sighed as she walked up to her room. She tossed her bag on her bed and grabbed her phone. She dialed Bam's number by heart and waited. April answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Ape?" asked JJ.

"OH, hey JJ. Did you forget something?" asked April. "Or did you want to talk to Bam?"

"Um…no…to both. I was gonna tell him today at school but then some stuff happened. Can you tell him I'm moving?" she asked.

"Oh…when?" asked April.

"End of the week," said JJ. "I've been trying for the past week to tell them but never got the chance."

"Yeah. I will let him know," said April.

"Thanks, Ape," said JJ hanging up the phone.

(BAM's HOUSE)

"Who called?" asked Bam.

"JJ," said April.

"OH…what did she want?" he asked.

"She's moving," said April.

"WHAT!" was the collective reply.

"She's been trying for the past week to tell you all," said April. "Shows how much you pay attention."

April left them to go back to the kitchen. Bam, Dunn, and Raab all looked defeated.

"Guess hat's what she was talking about when she said 'important,'" said Dunn.

Bam nodded his head. JJ had been trying to tell him something the night before but he wouldn't listen.

Writing Chapter 3 now! It should be up before the end of the day! Lots of Love! ~Kat
