Chapter 4:

When Demi was in Science with Selena and Joe they all sat together and when the teacher was passing out work and everyone was talking Selena asked "So Demi did you find out if the new guy was your Lucas?"

"Yeah he is."

"Yeah and when he wanted to get back together you turned him down hard." said Joe.

"You did?" said Selena.

"Yeah I did at first but then we started talking in English and now we're back together." said Demi avoiding Joe's eyes.

"Oh you did?" asked Joe in a low voice.

"Yeah we did." said Demi feeling bad.

"Well as long as your happy." said Joe hurt.

Then the bell rang and Joe was the first one out of the room.

"What's with him?"

"Do you think that he's sad you and Lucas are back together?" asked Selena trying to hint it to Demi that he liked her.

"Hmm I don't know." said De avoiding the obvious reason.

"You're killing me Demi!" burst Selena.

"What?"

"It's obvious that he likes you and you lead him on then crushed his hopes!"

"What? No he doesn't."

"Yes he does! And you like him back! You don't like Lucas!"

"I'll see you at lunch." said Demi walking away from Selena.

All through Demi's next class she thought to herself "Selena's right I do like Joe...what was I thinking getting back together with Lucas especially after I hinted to Joe that I liked him! I'm such a bad person!"

When the bell for lunch rang Demi left her classroom and went to her locker and when she got there she saw Lucas leaning against her locker.

"Oh hi Lucas." said Demi trying to smile and look happy.

"Hey babe." said Lucas before he kissed her on the cheek.

"Look Lucas we need to talk."

"Okay lets' talk."

"First I need to check in with my friends then we can talk."

When Demi reached the cafeteria she saw her friends right away and went over to then with Lucas following. But when they reached the table it was just Joe sitting there.

"Hey Joe, um where's Selena?"

"She has detention." said Joe not looking at Demi. "Why did you want to make sure it was okay with us that your boyfriend sat with us?"

"No I just wanted to tell you that I need to talk to Lucas and I'll be back in a couple of minutes."

"Okay." said Joe still not looking at her.

After he said that Demi took Lucas by the hand and led him outside.

"What's up?"

"Lucas...I don't know how to say this..."said Demi looking down at the ground.

"What is it?" asked Lucas. "You can tell me anything."

"Lucas I don't feel the same way I did about you during the summer." said Demi in a low voice.

"Demi.."

But Demi put her finger to his lips. "Lucas this doesn't mean that I don't care about you, I just think it would be better if we were friends."

"We just got back together."

"I know but I wasn't thinking straight then, I'm sorry."

"I really wish you were thinking before." said Lucas angry.

"Please don't be mad at me." begged Demi.

"How could I not be Demi!" yelled Lucas.

"I guess I don't blame you."

"I don't think we can be friends." said Lucas calming down.

"Okay whatever makes you happy." said Demi in a small voice.

Just as he was going to say something else Demi just walked past him.
