Hey Guys. I know this is a small chapter but it's an important one. I'm desperate for reviews. I wont be updating that much on the weekdays but I'll try my hardest. By next weekend, I know this story will be finished. So keep in tune. Thnxs again to ToxicTopaz and FicTranslator. Will switch POV's. R&R. No flames please. About two enemies who fall in love when they begin a rivalry over Marley Rose.

Chapter 12

Jake's POV

The same day (as the chapter before), I saw Ryder walking down the empty hall after Glee Practice, no one there. "Hey, Ryder," I called. He turned around just as I jogged up to him. "Hey, dude, are you ok?" I asked. "Yeah, fine," said Ryder. I gave him a disbelieving look and we stopped.

"C'mon, you know I don't buy that," said Ryder. He remained conflicted and silent and I guessed what he was thinking. "Is it about Spanish?" I asked. "No!" said Ryder, "I can't tell you." "Dude, why not?" I asked. "Because it's personal," said Ryder. "After what happened two days ago, I'm sure it's okay if anything's personal."

I laughed at what I said but when Ryder didn't join in on my laughter, I knew what it was about.

Ryder's POV

'C'mon, Ryder. You may as well tell him,' I thought. But I didn't have to tell him...Jake said it for me. "It's about me," he said, "You're confused about the other night." I nodded slightly, embarassed. "Dude, it's okay," said Jake. That made me feel so much better. "I'm feeling the same way," said Jake.

"I'm sorry," I said. "It's fine, Ryder," said Jake. "No, it's just," I said, "It's really cool everything's fine between us after Marley and the other night. This must be embarassing for you." Jake laughed. "How is me wanting you embarassing?"

Then, I lit up. Jake wanted me. Then, we both smiled. It was magnetic. First, we both moved in on each other. Both of us were a bit hesitant, but as we moved closer those thoughts were pushed away. Then, we closed our eyes. Soon, our lips were on each other's. This was a true kiss. Not like the one from the other night, it was real. And god, was it great!

Think this story has ended? IT IS NOWHERE NEAR ENDING! Keep in tune for the ending chapters. Also, my next projects are to finish Music and Radios and I'm going to do a story from Stand By Me. THNXS!
