Chapter 5

**2 years later**

Dear Diary,

It has been two years to the date since I thought I heard Tommy Quincy say he loves me. The last two years have been uneventful. Tommy has a girlfriend now, I have a boyfriend, and it is my fourteenth birthday next week. I should be happy right? I have the most amazing boyfriend in the whole wide world, why am I not happy then? He is happy with his girlfriend, who is so not pretty and so not right for him. I should be happy with my boyfriend and forget Tommy, but I can't. He isn't that easy to forget. I see him all the time thanks to Ryan, and I can't handle it anymore. It is time to get over him and have fun with the boyfriend I have.

"Hey Jude, how have you been?" Mr. Quincy asks

"I've been good." I reply

"That's great, so you excited for your birthday next week?" Mr. Quincy questions

"Yes sir, you will be there right?" I ask with a smile

"Anything for such a lovely young lady like you" Mr. Quincy replies back. "I have to go now, see you later."

"Bye" I wave goodbye as he walks back into his office. I walk outside only to run into Tommy. "I am so sorry." I say not noticing it was Tommy until I looked up. "Oh, wait never mind I am not sorry" I bite out

"Rude much?" Tommy questions

"I have nothing to say to you, goodbye." I say as I stalk off towards the football stadium

"What is her problem?" Tommy questions

"She is a teenage girl, what can you expect?" Ryan answers

"Something is wrong with her. Did her boyfriend break up with her?" Tommy questions

"No, they are perfectly happy together. She is probably just stressed about her party next week. I've heard her boyfriend is suppose to kiss her at her party. Should I kill him? She is way too young for her first kiss." Ryan explains

"Yeah, way too young" Tommy answers with a hint of guilt in his voice as he recalls the kiss that didn't happen.

**Tuesday morning at school**

"Hey Jude, can we talk?" Justin ask as he pulls me aside in the hall

"Sure babe, what's up?" I cutely ask

"I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday properly." Justin says as he pulls a single rose out from behind his back

"Awww, Justin you are so sweet." I say as I kiss him on the cheek. "I can't wait for my party this weekend. Are you still planning that surprise for me?" I ask with a cute smile and a wink

"I am not telling you what I am planning, so stop asking. It is a surprise for a reason." Justin says while walking me to class. "Bye babe, see you after school."

"Bye" I say as I walk into my class

**Friday night**

"Hey Jude, we really need to talk." Tommy says walking up behind me.

"What do you want Tommy? I really don't need you ruining my birthday week, or my mood." I wine back

"It's about your boyfriend. He is planning on kissing you tomorrow at your party and I think you are just too young to be kissing boys and…" Tommy says before I cut him off

"He is going to kiss me!? That is his surprise? Oh my gosh, I can't believe he wants to kiss me." I excitedly state "Wait, did you just say I was too young to be kissing people?" I question

"Yes, you are 14 and shouldn't be kissing boys. You are too…" Tommy explains when I cut him off

"Last time I checked you kissed me when I was 12. That is much younger then I am now." I bite back

"I told you that kiss never happened." Tommy angrily states

"Oh I forgot, but it did happen. You have no right to tell me I am too young to do something when you did what you did to me. So if you want to help me, stay out of my life!" I yell as I shove him out of my room

"Jude!" Tommy yells as I slam the door in his face

"What was that about?" Ryan questions

"I told her that she was too young to be kissing boys and she got mad." Tommy explains

"Dude, not cool. It was suppose to be a surprise that he was going to kiss her and it isn't your job to tell her what she can and can't do. You aren't her brother; I am, so stay out of her business." Ryan retorts

"I was just trying to help man." Tommy explains his voice full of guilt.

"Well don't help next time." Ryan bites back

Dear Diary,

Tommy told me that I was too young to kiss a boy today. Since when does he have the right to tell me what I can and can't do? I hate him so much right now. He isn't going to ruin my party tomorrow though. I will get that kiss even if Tommy says I am too young. I can't believe Justin is going to kiss me! YAY! Can't wait for tomorrow night!
