*Jayme's POV*
I was at school the next day, in the lunch line. I usually sat with Willow and all them, but after what Maddie said... Damn, I didn't know Chris was her ex! I thought, helplessly.
"Hey, uhh...Jayme, can I talk to you?" I turned around and it was Chris.
"Yeah, sure." We walked out of the lunch line and a little bit away from the cafeteria.
"Look, I didn't know if you knew this, but your cousin and I used to go out. And when she found out I was dating you, she sorta freaked out-" he started, but I cut him off.
"She talked to you about us?"
"Yelled is more like it."
"She did the same thing to me, too! She said if I ever went near you again, she's kill me," I said and Chris looked shocked.
"Really? She said she'd kill you?"
"Well...no, but I could see it in those crazy eyes of hers," I joked and he grinned.
"Ya' know, Jayme, I would really like to keep dating you. Screw Maddie. Whaddaya say?" I shrugged.
"Sure." He leaned over and kissed me, and it was a looong kiss. My first, in fact. But I probably wouldn't tell him that for a long time.
*Willow's POV*
I was sitting at the lunch table with Teddy, Gordie, and a very depressed Vern. Chris was talking to Jayme.
"Hey, Vern-o, what's wrong?" I asked, frowning.
"Nothing," he replied, sadly, but I didn't buy it. And neither did Teddy and Gordie.
"Come on, man, just tell us," Gordie pushed and Vern sighed.
"Well...you guys all have girlfriends, even Chris does now. And Teddy and Willow just did it-"
"Teddy!" I moaned. "You told them?"
"I couldn't help it," Teddy replied.
"You know how he likes to brag," Gordie commented and Teddy frogged him.
"What were you saying, Vern?" I asked.
"I'm just bummed cuz..." he paused. "my girlfriend dumped me."
"GIRLFRIEND?" we all cried as Chris and Jayme approached the table with their lunches.
"What about a girlfriend?" Chris asked as he sat down next to Gordie and Jayme sat next to me.
"Vern just said that his girlfriend dumped him! What girlfriend, Vern-o?" Gordie asked and Teddy scoffed.
"Imaginary girlfriend is more like it."
"Shut up, Teddy," I said.
"Who was your girlfriend?" Chris asked.
"Umm...it really doesn't matter now, cuz she dumped me," Vern said, uneasily.
"Tell us, Vern, or I'll kick you in the nuts!" I threatened and everyone snickered.
"It was Maddie, okay?"
"MADDIE?" Teddy, Gordie, and I yelled.
"Maddie?" Jayme asked, weakly.
"You're dating...Maddie?" Chris snarled, angrily.
"Was," Vern offered, shrinking away from the blonde boy.
"How could you date Maddie? You can't date your friend's ex, it's against the code!" Chris cried and I nodded.
"It's true, Vern. If it's in the code for boys and girls, it must be serious."
"I guess...you can kind of get why Maddie's so mad now, right, Chris?" Jayme asked, and Chris turned to look at her.
"Oh, umm...yeah. I guess so...sort of."
"Wait, Maddie knows you guys are dating? You're gonna have to fill us in, dude," Teddy said and Jayme started to explain while Chris tried-for Jayme's sake-not to glare at Vern.
"I can't believe Vern was dating Maddie this whole time and we never knew it," I said. Teddy and I were watching TV at his house and his head was on my lap.
"I know. Vern got Maddie? I figured that if she wanted to date beneath Chris, she would pick someone better looking. Like me." I smacked him. "Ow!"
"You and Maddie? Ha!" I cried and he twisted his head to look up at me.
"It could happen!"
"Are you sure you want it to? Even hypothetically? I mean, she's the devil, man!" I said and Teddy shrugged.
"That's true."
We were both quiet for a while as we watched TV.
"You don't really want Maddie, do you?" I asked him. I wasn't sure why, but the whole conversation made me...what's the word?...insecure.
"No, of course not. I love you," Teddy said and reached up to brush a lock of hair out of my eyes.
"Is your mom home?" I asked and Teddy smirked and shook his head.
"At work."
"Let's do it!" I yelled and he practically mauled me; I giggled while he kissed my neck and pressed him closer to me.
