Chapter 4: Oops

Amy POV

I walked Kelly to the door. "Ames, just think about what I said. Okay?" Kelly asked. "Yeah, okay." I promised. I watched as she put Ryan into the car, and then drove away. I walked back to the kitchen where my mom and Ashley were talking. I sat down. "I don't know about you guys, but I like her. I think she is hilarious." Ashley stated. "Amy, where did you meet her?" My mom asked. "Oh, she came here, at about 12:30." I explained. My mom nodded. "So, what do you think about her?" I asked her. "Well, she is nice. I get the feeling she is hiding something. But other then that I think it is good for you two to be friends. You can learn a lot from her." She explained. "Okay." I said. I didn't understand what my mom thought about hiding something. Kelly seemed to be very straight forward with the answers. Except the question about her own experience, but that was nothing.

"What do you think?" My mom asked. "Think about what?" "Kelly made good points, about going through this alone. I am here, your father, Ashley, Ben, there are a bunch of people who want to be here for you. It is just a matter of you letting us be there." She said. I thought about it, "I don't know what I want to. Not yet anyway." I said good night, and went into my room. I was laying on my bed staring at the ceiling, when my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID: Ben. I answered, "hey." "Hi." He said back. "What's up?" "Nothing with me. How about you any news?" He asked. "Nope. Oh, but I did talk Kelly." I told him. "Yeah. What did she have to tell you?" "Nothing really. Just wanted to talk. She was very helpful." I said. I didn't think it was my place to tell him Kelly's story. If she wants others to know, then she can tell them. "That's good. I miss you." "Yeah, Ben, I miss you too." "I hope you decide to stay." "Hm. I am not sure what I am doing just yet. It's still up in the air." I assured him. "Okay, well, I just wanted to say hi, and see how you were." Ben said. "I will call you tomorrow." I told him. "I look forward to it. I love you. Goodnight." "I love you too. Goodnight Ben." I said, and hung up.

I woke up the next morning seeing Ashley watching me. When I first saw her it made me jump, "Ashley, what are you doing?" She continued staring at me. "Ashley?" "Oh, right. Mom wants to know if you are going to school?" Ashley asked. I groaned, "no." She shrugged her shoulders and walked to the door. "You know, you wont know how people will react, unless you give them a chance." Ashley said as she turned to face me. "Since when did you become so damn insightful?" I asked. "Since my sister got pregnant." Ashley replied with a mocking smile. "Ha ha, very funny." I said, and throw a pillow at her. Ashley laughed, and walked out.

Adrian POV:

I was at my locker looking at the new girl who told me off yesterday. Seriously, how could she have seen through me. I don't get it. And what is it with every guy gawking at her. We haven't been in school for more than two hours, and I have already counted 6 guys ask her out. "Hey." Ricky said. "Hi." I said back, as I put a book in my locker. "Look at her. Just acting like nothing is happening." Ricky said. I looked in the direction he was, and sure enough he was gawking at the new girl. I groaned. "Why would you want her?" I asked. "Why wouldn't I want her?" He asked back. I hate when people answer questions with more questions.

"Maybe because she has already turned you down twice." I scoffed. "That's only a technicality. Besides, I know she wants me." Ricky said, cockily. "Right. You know, I heard wind that she already has a boyfriend." I told him. He raised an eyebrow at me. "Yeah, and I heard he is a senior." I added. "What does a senior have that I don't?" He asked. "The new girl." I stated. "You could be a little more supportive of me. I mean, what if this girl happens to be my soul mate?" He asked. "Oh, yeah, cause supportive is my middle name. Ricky, you're not the type of guy to have a soul mate. Maybe a lot of mates, but definitely not a soul mate." I laughed. He glared at me. "Do you know this senior's name?" He asked. "What is with this girl that you are going great lengths to get her?" I asked. "She's new. And hot." He said.

"I heard many different possibilities. But the most popular seems to be Braden." I told him. "Braden." Ricky repeated and walked away. I slammed my locker shut. "Are you okay?" I heard Grace ask. We are trying our hand at being friends. "Just freakin peachy." I told her. I looked over at the new girl, "ugh! That is number 7." "Oh. Jealous of the new girl?" Grace asked. "I do not get jealous. Just there is something about her…I don't know." I told her. "Well the only thing I know about her is, her name is Kelly Reynolds, she transferred, and that she is a sophomore. Any help?" Grace explained. "Not really." I said and walked to class.

Kelly POV:

I was sitting at a lunch table waiting for Braden, when Ben sat across from me. "Hey, Ben." "Hi. So did you talk to Amy?" He asked. "Yeah. I told her…things. But I don't know what she will decide." I explained. "Oh. What did you tell her?" "I, um, just said things from experience. That's all." I wasn't going to tell him what I really told her. Maybe another time. Ben nodded, then we fell into an awkward silence. "Hey." Braden said, as he gave me a quick kiss, and sat down. "Hello." I said smiling. Braden gave Ben a questionable look. "Oh, right. Braden this is Amy's boyfriend. Ben this is my fia-boyfriend Braden." I introduced them. I sighed a sigh of relief, when I realized I caught my self from blowing our cover. They shook hands, then Braden looked at me. "Oops." I mouthed to him. He shrugged then smiled.
