Notes: I'm guessing this story is coming from most of my hurt about recently losing my best friend over pety things. I'm using all the emotions that are running through to make certain chapters. I think that might be why the last chapter was so sloppy. I apologize for that.

Chapter 5 (Bohemian Rhapsody) I thought since this song was such a tornado of many different things it would help this chapter spiral together for me. Thank God for Queen.

I woke up the next morning remembering the haze that was yesterday. Most of it didn't seem real, because I had never been in fight in my life. Something mean and dreadfully, angry took me over. That wasn't was so shocking. All the cards that were my life felt like they had snapped into place when I looked into Jacobs eyes.

My happiness had been put on hold, when someone had, rudely if I do say so, taken me from his arms. My heart nearly broke when Quil Ataira (forgot how to spell his last name) and Jared Thail walked him out the gym doors, but not before he could look back and give me the most heart breaking smile.

With me being giddy as a little girl , I had allmost forgot how much trouble I was going to be in. Gracyn and i both ended up getting a three day suspension, that my mother was not happy about, by any measure. Things could have been worse. My punishment was that I was not aloud to leave the house, but that didn't matter, seeing as how I had no reason to.

Now I was looking around my room trying to figure out what to do to contain myself. I needed to see Jacob again soon, the smile he gave me was obviously flirting. It doesn't make sense why I would feel this way, but it just felt right. I had a feeling that one way or another we would see each other soon enough.

Today would just have to be a laid back day. Most of homework got finished and I had managed to clean up my death trap room. Looking around my I couldn't wrap my mind around how I had talked my mother into letting me paint the walls gold. She thought it was tacky. As I had promised though, the christmas lights I had hung around all four walls had made it look amazing.

Somehow I wondered if I could sneak out long enough to hang out with Stacey to see if she noticed the way Jacob looked at me yesterday. Mom would probably head to the store at about eleven o'clock, so I had about twenty minutes to get dressed, slap on some makeup, and just leave my hair flowing wild.

As I dug through my closet looking for my pink flipflops and my green basketball shorts, I heard my mom yell up to me, saying she would be back at about five. She must have needed time away from her dissapointment daughter. I got everything together and ran down the stairs, calling morgan to see if it was okay if I drove Tyler's jeep. Thankfully she said, so I pocketed the keys and flew out the door.

For five minutes I knocked on Staceys door, but there was no answer. I knew she would be home from school today, because the principal had given her one day off for instigating. I decided to call her and find out where in the hell she was, when I needed her this bad. After it rang three times it went to voicemail. I tried to keep levl headed and tell myself she might in trouble with the parentals.

All hope for anything to do today seemed lost. Keeping my head down, I walked back to the jeep. I sat in the drivers seat and starting banging my head on the steering wheel, with what I would say is great force. Maybe I was being over dramatic, but I wasn't hurting anyone. As i was about to turn the key in the ignition my phone started to buzz.

How much more i would have given for it to be Stacye's name to show up on caller ID. Seeing as how the world was out to get me, it had to be Sierra's name to pop up. It rang three times, before I processed what was happening. Part of me wanted to throw the phone into the street and scream, but the rational side of me answered, like a dumbass.

In the angriest voice I could form, I said, "What?"

"Is this Corrine?" She said puzzled

"Seriously? You've only had my number since you got a cell phone, but if you want to be a bitch, then bye." I was about to hang up.

"Wait." She said. "Look I'm just calling to let you know that theres a party at the beach tonight and I'm supposed to invite you." She sounded like she was trying to be disgusted.

"Your supposed to invite me?" what was that supposed to mean?

"Well I don't exactly have a choice no, so just be there at seven and don't be late." With that she hung up with nothing else.

Why would she invite me to a party, what kind of party starts at seven, and since it's a party she would be at with Paul, does that mean Jacob would be there too? I didn't want to risk not finding out. Sneaking out would be the easy part. Getting there wouldn't be as easy.

By five thirteen, when mom got home and Morgan and Tyler trailing in twenty minutes later, I was finished curling my hair and putting on light makeup. I decided to wear a pair of my ripped up jeans, with different colored paint splattered all over them and light pink tank top to match my flip flops. I felt good about my appearance, but not about the party at all, yet I knew I had to be there.

I had sent Stacey a text asking her where she had been and if she would come with me tonight. She responded back ten minutes later, telling me she had a doctors appointment and that she would meet me at the gas station, halfway from my house and hers.

I went downstairs to see if Morgan would cover for me with mom. I found her sitting in the living room by Tyler pulling on a pair of tennis shoes.

"Going somewhere?" I asked.

"We're going to see the new Mission Impossible. Tyles choice." Morgan laughed, playfully pushing him.

"It doesn't look that bad." I offered for Tyler's benefit.

Tyler smiled. "Want to come with us?"

An imaginary lightbulb lit above my head. "Actually..." I trailed off hoping they would agree.

"Oh I know that look. You guys both have it. What do you want?" Tyler asked smiling.

Might as well just rip the band aid off. "Well, there's a a party at seven on the beach and I'm going to go either way, but if you guys take me, then I'll have a cover." I looked between the two of them pleadingly, as I sat down in mom's gray armchair.

"What were you grounded for?" Morgan asked, with her eyebrows raised.

"Three day suspension. In my defense, it was for a good reason." Was Morgan really going to make this hard?

"And what could that have been?" She asked cryptically.

"I got into a fight with Gracyn, and beat the hell out of her." I added that last part in for myself.

Tyler laughed and Morgan smacked him over the head. "I never liked that girl anyways." Morgan said smiling.

She told mom that the three of us were going to the movies in Port Angeles and then going to diner afterwards. When we got in the car I told them that had to pick up Stacey who had probably not left her house yet, luckily we caught her on the sid eof the road.

"I thought we were meeting u at the gas station she said, hopping in." She shivered, which indicated to me that it was a breezy night, which was just great.

"Well I just thought you might not want to walk all the way to the beach, but you know we can drop you off here?" I said jokingly.

"Oh 's kinda cold tonight. I'm glad I brought my jacket." She said pointing to her waist where light blue jacket hung, loosely.

"Some of us didn't think that far ahead." I said cynically.

"My work jackets in the back." Tyler said.

I pushed junk around in the back finding his jacket. It was big and light brown, but I loved it. IT was cozy and warm, when he and morgan moved I was totally stealing this jacket for the winter hell we had.

"Thanks, I love this thing." I said, snuggling in it.

He chuckled. "I know. It always smells like you whenI put it on."

"Well thats not a bad thing. I smell amazing." I laughed. We were about five minutes from the beach now. I couldn't imagine how long it would have taken us to walk.

"Okay, whatever you say." He said as he pinched his nose.

The rest of the short trip was spent with all of us singing off key to Tyler's Aerosmith cd. We parked at the edge of the beach and said our goodbyes to them, with them promising to be back no later than twelve thirty. That was plenty of time for me to figure out what this was all about or leave if it was some joke.

Playlist from this point:

" I see a bunch of people all the way over there, theres tables, and a big fire too." She was squinting ahead.

"Stop that. Your going to hurt your eyes. And really? A bonfire, that is so cliche." I was shaking my head.

"Well come on." She hooked her arm with mine, walking us forward. "Lets go see if lover boy is here."

"Who are you talking about?" Maybe she had noticed it too,

"Jacob of course and maybe Collin and Brady are here." There was a hopeful glint in her eyes.

As we got close enough to make out who most of the people were, I got butterflys in my stomach. They were good butterflys though. I knew well enough a stupid grin had taken over my face. For the most part it was all people from our school, with a few lighter skinned people here and there.

I saw Sierra with Paul hanging over her in the distance, so I decided to get this over with and find out why she was supposed to invite me here. I'm guessing the worst it could was for Gracyn to get a second shot, even though I saw her nowhere in sight.

Stacey and I stepped right in between Sierra and some cheerleading twit she had been talking to.

"Seriously Corrine?" she said looking annoying, but wasn't really meeting my eyes.

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Yes seriously." I said mocking her.

"Do you think you two could move? I was talking to someone important." Still she didn't meet my eyes, but the words were still hurtful.

I looked over at Stacey. "I don't know Stace. Can you move?" Our arms where still hooked and she pulled a little.

"Ooooohh. You know, I don't think I can." She said evily. I knew there was a reason we got along so well.

"Well there you have it." I said to Sierra.

"What do you want?" Paul asked, not hiding his annoyance with me.

" To know why I'm supposed to be here." I said glaring at him.

Sierra smirked. "I guess you'll have to figure that out on your own. My job is done."

Huh? "What in the hell does that mean?" But they were allready walking away.

"Great what are we going to do at this party? Theres no alcohol and no one is dancing. There all just talking. Something tells me we were invited to a get together." She made a deep sigh. "And I don't see Collin, Brady, or loverboy."

"Would you please stop callling him that! It's really unsettling." I laughed. My mood somehow could not have been better. Tonight would be a good night. The background music that was playing was good and I was feeling drawn over to the tables.

"Well while I'm thinking of something new to call him, he's burning a hole in your back." She had to be kidding.

"Your joking." I turned around and saw that she definately wasn't. All I could do was have this out of body experience again. I felt extremely aware of the way he was looking at me.

I heard Stacey mumble something about some girl named Haley. Meanwhile Jacob's eyes didn't leave me. Bravery took over me and I made way to the table. I was standingg right beside him now, as I grabbed a plate and started putting fruit on it. I looked out the corner of my eyes to see that he was still staring at me.

"You know, it's a shame you don't have a camera. A picture would last longer." I said smugl, squeezing in front of and someone else who was facing his way.

That heartbreaking smile spread wide on his face. "You mind me looking at you?" He asked with doubt.

I laughed. "I guess as long as your not a creeper or anything we'll be fine." The I said we'll be fine excited me.

His eyes pierced mine like no one elses ever had. I just wanted to soak it up.

He grabbed two water bottles from the ice chest and said, "Good." He held up the other water bottle, offering it to me.

I went to grab it and he yanked it just as I had my hands on it. "Hey!"

He shook his head, with something playful in his eyes. "You have to come get it." With that he ran towards where several twenty something looking people were seated on a porch deck of a house. Slowly, I followed him. I couldn't resist it.

I made it to the table he was sitting at taking my time, seeing how everyone on the deck turned there eyes to me. I sat down and snatched my water, before he could grab it.

He laughed effortlessly. "Well it took you long enough."

"I was taking my time since someone decided to run off with my drink." Taking a huge gulp.

God that smile of his woulod break me. "Technically I never said it was yours, but since your mouths been all over it now."

I gave him an angelic look. "No ones ever complained about my mouth being anywhere theres has been before."

He gave an impressionable sound that made my stomach flip. "It wasn't a complaint." He just kept smiling at me like I was the most beautiful girl here, which was doubtful.

"Then what was it? I was all about challenging people, especially the ones that challenged me.

He shook his head with an devilish grin, that said no good written all over it. "Oh it doesn't matter."

I laughed, taking a bite of a strawberry. "You sure about that?" maybe I was over doing it witht he strwberry in my mouth, but I didn't care.

Still smiling he nodded. "So how much trouble did you get into yesterday?" He was practically shoving a sandwhich down his mouth.

I colossal grin spread on my face. "Just the right ammount I would say, so I've got three vacation days."

"You get in trouble alot." He said rather than asking.

I chewed on an apple slice. "I guess that depends on what you think is alot."

"So you make regular visits to the principals office?" This time it was a question.

"No, thats just something Gracyn would tell guys to take attention away from me." I rolled my eyes.

"Sounds like she knew she had competition." Then he flashed me another hair twirling smile.

I blushed enough for him to see and and make him smile even more. I picked up the beat of the music playing. It was all old stuff, but it was the good stuff.

"Who picked out the music for tonight?" I asked moving feet underneath the table.

"Kim, Seth, and Emily. I know it's terrible." He whined.

"Are you kidding?" I crinkled my nose. "I love this song."

"You like this old crap too?" He asked as if he thought I were joking.

I looked past his shoulder and a few people were dancing. He saw me looking and got up.

"Come one." He said wearily.

"You just said.." He didn't let me finsh.

He grabbed my hand and practically dragged me to where people were dancing. When we reached everyone he put one hand on my lower back and the other in mine. Taking his lead I put my hand on his shoulder.

I couldn't help but laugh at how he had no idea what he was doing. Still this had to be the best day of my life.

He looked down and grinned at me. "What?"

"I just don't know how you can't know how to dance." He just made me smile.

"I can dance." He defended himself.

"Okay then." I starting moving around faster and he was having trouble keeping up. Then slowed it down witht the music. "You look like an angel, walk like an angel, talk like an angel, but I got wise." I forgot how much fun Morgan and I used to have listening to this type of music, but dancing with Jacob just made it all that much better.

He surprised me. "Your the devil in disguise. Oh yes you are."

The smile he put on my face felt like it could never leave, but he surprised me again, when he lifted me off my feet and starting spinning me around. All I could do was laugh. I could hardly believe I was here dancing with a boy most girls dreamed about at night. He finally put me down but didn't stop when the song eneded and went to the next.

"So how many girls have you used that on?" I asked curiously.

He tilted his head to the side. "Just my sisters and they didn't really like it. They said it made them sick." As if remembering something he laughed.

"It was fun nobody really dances for the fun of it anymore. It's all sexually charged and to show off." I remember that I do alot of that.

Not really paying attention he said, "I think they put a few regular dances in here at Sierra and Paul's request. "It doesn't matter I can't do most of them."

I just laughed and let him keep twirlign me around. We danced for two more songs until a dance that you had to know the moves to came on. (I chose Wobble becausei guessed it would abe the easiest thing for her to teach him.)

"You don't know it do you?" I asked laughing hysterically.

He lowered his head looking at me apologetically. "Not a clue."

I started dancing. "It's okay just watch me and fall in when you get it."

The steps felt natural to me, but I felt bad that I wasn't dancing with Jacob. I saw Stacey hop in, in front of me. Most of the younger people were all getting into it. As I was going along with it I wondered if Jacob was watching as I moved my hips. It made me nervous, but it was the best nervous you can be.

"Hey big girl, make her back it up." Stacey sang with the words.

I couldn't help but laugh. It had been a while since I had, had some sober fun and it wasn't a drag. Tonight was amazing. Breathing heavy jumped to the side by Jacob again and stopped.

"Why didn't you fall in?" I panted.

He mused at me. "I was busy enjoying the view."

He was doing this to me on purpose. My heart stammered. I didn't ever want to leave here. Tonight was just like a dream. As more and more people left, Jacob and I ended up walking back to the deck to talk for the rest of the night. We knew the basics about each, because it was a small town, so learned about each others personsl life and the things that they liked.

He listened to rock and metal like most of the boys around here did. The reason he missed so much school was because he had a job to help support at his house. He swore up and down that he never Kristie Lahaur, to my amusement.

It could have been Monday morning and I wouldn't have known. The only thing that made realzie it was that late was when Morgan called and said they would be here to get us in five minutes.

"Time to go?" He almost sounded sad.

"Yeah and I would say see you Monday, but I can't go back till Wednesday." I made a sad face.

"Here." He said digging into his back pocket. "Put your number in my phone and we can hang out this weekend."

"And put the ball in your court? I don't like waiting." I smirked.

"You won't be waiting around for me. I can promise you that." He gave me the phone and I put in my number.

I heard Stacey yell at me and then I heard a car horn honking. "So..."

He smiled and leaned down to press his lips to my forhead. "I'll see you later then?"

I bit my bottom lip, trying to find my words."I guess you will."

I turned to leave, but I felt him grab me by the arm. He leaned in really close his hot breath stinging my face. "You will." Then he turned and walked towards the house again.

"Tease!" My body felt unsettled and I loved it.

I heard him laughing all the way to the door. Tonight was definately the best time I had ever had.
