Chapter 3
Awkwardness
After about a week, Wadi didn't bother them...much. Zak had signed up for basketball, he and Jamie were doing a duet in this year's talent show(to make up for last time), and they were making friends all over the place. Jamie's group consisted of Emma, a girl named Leyla, and a red-head named Mary. Zak's friends were that kid Josh from lunch, Ryan, and Ricky. There was also this really annoying kid, Seth, who had a secret crush on Jamie; but he wasn't as stupid and crazy as Aaron. Plus, Emma has a secret that she doesn't plan on telling. Jamie and her friends were in gym class playing jump rope. "I'll go next!" Leyla said. As Leyla started jumping, the girls started to sing. "Fudge, Fudge, call the judge; Leyla's having a baby, Ricky's going crazy!"
"I do not like Ricky!"
"How many babies will she have? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!" Leyla stopped jumping. "Man, you have to get a hobby!" Jamie said. "Emma's turn!"
"Uh, I'm not that good at jumping..."
"Aw, come on, Em! I've seen you jump; you're awesome!" Jamie said. "Ok. But I'll sing the song," Emma started jumping. "Fudge, Fudge, call the judge; Emma'a having a baby, Eric's going-"
"WAIT, WHO?!" Jamie said, stopping the rope. "Surprise," Emma said. "YOU'RE DATING MY EX???!!!"
"Awkward!" Mary said. "Who's dating who's ex?" Zak said, coming over. "Emma + Eric = not a happy Jamie!"
"Oh..."
"Hey, who controls who Emma likes? Emma!" Mary said. "Yeah, I control who I like!" Emma said. "Hey, Jamie," Seth said. "Uh, hi Seth," Jamie said. Zak groaned and turned around. "So, uh, you wanna go to the dance with me?" Zak turned back around. "Uh...uh, er," Jamie looked at her friends for help. They were all shaking their heads. "Uh, I'm...going already with someone..."
"Who is this casanova?"
"Uh, Zak!"
"What?!" Jamie elbowed him. "Uh, yeah," Zak said. "Are you sure?" Seth said making a weird face. "Yeah, pretty sure," Jamie said. "Whatever," Seth said, walking away. "Now, that was awkward!" Mary said. "Now, Zak, ask me to go to the dance."
"Ok, why?"
"You didn't officially ask me yet."
"Ok."
"Close enough." Jamie said.
