Second Thoughts






Caitie glared at the back of Jamie's head, hoping it would burst into flames under her fiery gaze.
Her two best friends were just making out in the hall. Caitie couldn't decided if she was angry or
just really sad. She had liked Jamie too. But like always, Val got what she wanted and Caitie was
left with nothing. Caitie knew she shouldn't be jealous but what were her choices. Her guy. Her
friend. Her crush. Taken by the pretty, preppy Val, who you couldn't help but love. Caitie sighed,
tears threatening to spill over her eyelashes. Caitie looked up at the ceiling, which forced her
tears back down.
Jamie meanwhile, was oblivious (like most men) to Caitie being upset. He was too concerned about
himself. He was a little confused. He didn't like Val, but kissing her well that wasn't so bad. In
fact, he enjoyed it. Jamie figured that was the hormones talking so he knew everything was still
okay. This plan was a joke yeah, but also could have some other benefits. Like making Caitie jealous
and her crawling to him. Jamie smiled. He didn't know that the girl of his dreams was two seats
behind him, imagining his head igniting in flame.


Tyler sat down on the chair in the office. He was an aid for first period and was waiting for his
turn at the copy machines. Two junior girls walked in and sat next to him, holding papers that
needed copying also.
"It was just too cute." Said one of the girls. She had light blonde hair and was really thin.
"I wish I could have been there. It's unfair that I miss all the gossip making action." Said the
other girl, who was a little heavier and had short black hair. Tyler was a little interested and
listened in.
"Who have thought they would end up together?" Blondie smiled. She was obviously a hopeless romantic (not
that it's a bad thing hehe).
"Yeah I know. I mean, I always was thinking he'd fall for that Gothic girl. Uh Caitie?" Blackie
nodded her head.
"Yeah that's her. So did I. But I guess cheerleaders are more his type." Blondie grinned. She
must have been a cheerleader, hoping for whoever this guy was.
"Hmm. He is really hot. But he's Val's. So we've got to respect turf." Blackie giggled and then
Tyler knew. It was Jamie and Val they were talking about. But what had happened?
"I would kill to kiss Jamie Waite. Gosh, that Val is one lucky chick." Blondie might as well have
had little hearts in her eyes. Tyler was shocked. Val and Jamie were kissing?! Tyler sighed and
dropped his shoulders. He'd always hoped Val would fall for him.


Caitie set down her tray at lunch. She'd promised Val she would sit with her sometime so why not
today? Tyler was already there, guzzling french fries and looking depressed. Val and Jamie walked
in the lunch room holding hands and looking all lovey-dovey.
"Hi guys." Val chirped. Jamie pulled out her chair for her. Caitie felt like her heart was being
ripped in two.
"Hey." She replied weakly. Tyler said the same.
"So how are you?" Val seemed to be doing all the talking for the couple. Jamie was too busy staring
at Caitie, who looked very unhappy.
"Good." Caitie answered sounding dull. Tyler shrugged.
"Uh Jamie could you get my fries for me?" Val smiled sweetly. Jamie nodded. Caitie lay her head
down on her folded arms. This day was going way too long.
"Do you all want to go out to dinner with us tonight?" Val asked when Jamie had returned with her
fries.
"Uh..." Tyler said.
"Enmmmmhhhhh." Caitie groaned. Jamie's eyebrows knitted together in concern.
"Please? Our..Jamie's treat." Val giggled but Jamie was really worried about Caitie. She looked
like the world was coming to an end.
"Sure." Tyler reluctantly agreed.
"Ugh." Caitie shook her head. Jamie layed his hand on her shoulder. Caitie ripped away, then smiled
sheepishly. She didn't want the jerk to know she was heart broken.
"C'mon Caitie. Please." Val begged. Caitie just had to go.
"Whatever. When do I have to show up?" Caitie growled. Val knew something was really wrong and it
had to do with the little April Fools joke.
"7 at the diner on Chicita." Val grinned. Jamie stood up. Caitie shot him an evil, steely glance
that she hoped he wouldn't see but he did. He locked her gaze and tried to use expressions to ask
what was wrong. Caitie looked away.
"I've uh got to go. See ya all tonight." Jamie started to walk away.
"I'll walk you....honey." Val had to force out the honey part. She could barely say it with Tyler
sitting there. Caitie and Tyler looked at each other, both making faces. Tonight was not going
to be fun.
