The Definiton of Insanity....
Chapter 2 of This Boy's Back




"Well, actually Billy, Jamie and I had plans for tonight. But maybe tomorrow?" Caitie said slowly.
A smile crept across Billy's lips, matching Jamie's. Jamie was glad Caitie hadn't ditched him.
"Are you two an item?" Billy asked sarcastically.
"No!" Caitie said, a little too quickly. Jamie winced.
"Well okay. Tomorrow night then. See ya." Billy waved and walked away. Jamie glared at Caitie.
She looked at him.
"What?!" She cried, walking towards the stairs. Jamie didn't say anything but kept staring.
"Don't give me that look." Caitie shook her head. Jamie sighed.
"Okay Jamie. What's the matter?"
"Caitie, it's Billy. The biggest jerk. Do I have to remind you of what he did?" Jamie asked. He
didn't want that jerk to hurt Caitie again.
"No...I remember. But he's changed. Couldn't you see it in his eyes? He's different now." Caitie
said, trying to convince herself of it too.
"I don't know Caitie..." Jamie said slowly.
"Well I do! I'm a big girl. Besides, you should be happy I didn't cancel our little get together."
Caitie said harshly and turned sharply into her classroom. Jamie shrugged and walked away.

Val sighed as she looked around the room. It was a mess. She exhaled again and began to pick up
around the common room. A door slammed behind her and she glanced up. Jamie was standing there,
looking angry.
"Jamie. Hi! What's wrong? You look upset." Val's forehead wrinkled with concern.
"Guess who is back?" Jamie practically shouted. Val stepped backward. Jamie sat down on the couch
like he was trying to kill it.
"Who?"
"Billy!" Jamie spit the name out. He hated to even say it.
"Caitie's Billy?" Val couldn't believe it. It seemed like he'd just left.
"Yeah, that Billy." Jamie grumbled. He didn't like that jerk's name being paired with Caitie's.
"No that's impossible. Billy went to military school. It's only been a few months. He wouldn't be
back so soon."
"That's what I thought. But he's back alright. And Caitie is falling for the same tricks." Jamie
said. Val shook her head.
"Uh-oh."
"Yeah I know."

Caitie heard the knock on her door. She opened it and smiled. It was Jamie of course.
"Hey. I have the first movie in the VCR already. Come on." Caitie pulled him toward the couch. Jamie
sat down as Mission Impossible 2 began. Caitie stared intently at the screen. She loved these
kind of movies.
"Caitie...I'm really worried about this whole thing with Billy." Jamie said. Caitie glared at him.
She ripped the remote off the coffee table and hit pause.
"Uh Jamie! Hello! Movie! Trying to watch here! No talking!" Caitie cried and pressed play. (Author's
note: This is how I get with movies. tehehe)
Jamie sank back on the couch. The movie was good but he really wanted to talk to Caitie. He didn't
want her to make the same mistake.
Finally, the movie ended and Jamie thought they'd have time to talk. But as soon as he opened his
mouth, the front door flung open. It was Shelly and Vikki.
"Ha! Right Shelly! Sounds like your dumb boyfriend needs a major life!" Vikki cried laughing. Jamie
stared in horror as Shelly and Vikki plopped down next to Caitie, wedging themselves between Jamie
and Caitie.
"So what movies did you get?" Shelly asked, snapping her gum.
"Mission Impossible, Gladiator, and The Watcher." Caitie smiled at Jamie, who was frowning.
"Ohh! Keanu Reeves! What a hottie! I just love him in the Matrix!" Vikki cried. Shelly nodded.
"I watched Speed at Andrew's last weekend. Omigosh! I wish I was Sandra Bullock, getting slobbered
all over by Keanu Reeves!" Shelly giggled.
"Don't tell Andrew that!" Caitie cried and the girls laughed. Jamie stood up and Vikki immediately
moved into his spot.
"I better go. See ya tomorrow Caitie." Jamie waved.
"Oh okay Jamie. See ya!" Caitie called, waving back as Shelly popped the next movie in.
"Bye Jamie!" Shelly called.
"Look I'm Caitie!" Vikki shouted and blew Jamie a kiss. Caitie screehed and Jamie rolled his eyes.
He wished.

Caitie looked at the clock for the millionth time. She couldn't wait to see Billy after school. For
some reason, seeing Billy again was like suddenly Jamie fell back into the dark of her brain. But
Caitie knew in the end, it would always be Jamie. She was hoping possibly maybe this would wake
Jamie up and Caitie could see how he really felt about her. She had seen the jealously dancing in
those beautiful dark eyes.
The afternoon bell rang and Caitie ran to the parking lot. Jamie was giving her a ride home since
her mom still didn't trust her with the car.
Jamie strode out of the building. The light sparkled off his leather jacket and he looked thoughtful.
He took Caitie's breath away.
"Jamie..hi." Caitie gasped. Something in the air made his look positivly incredible.
"Hey." Jamie smiled. The sun shined (or would it be shone? hmm.) on Caitie's hair and face. She
looked beautiful.
"I need a ride. I have to get home early today." Caitie explained, pulling the spare helmet from
underneath the seat.
"Sure. But why? Oh yeah...you have to hurry and meet Billy." Jamie's expression clouded over. Caitie
tried not to smile. He looked adorable when he was angry.
"Oh that. Well yeah. But I need to help Vikki with a science project before I go." Caitie sat the
black helmet on her dark locks and waited for Jamie to get. He swung his leg over and started up
the bike. Caitie slipped her arms carefully around his waist. She smiled. She didn't mind being
so close to Jamie. Jamie was grinning too. The way Caitie was holding on so tight made him think
Billy didn't really matter.

Caitie ran around the house like a mad women. She was meeting Billy in 15 minutes and wasn't even
ready.
"My shoes! Where the heck are my black shoes?!" Caitie screamed. Shelly motioned toward the floor
where the shoes were sitting neatly. Caitie smiled sheepishly.
"Oh. Well I gotta run. Bye" Caitie called. The sun had just set. The sky was still showing a little
violet around the bright stars. Caitie couldn't help but think of Jamie. It would have been a nice
night to be out with him.
Caitie walked quickly. Her outfit was more tame from when the last time she'd seen Billy without
wanting to tear his head off.
There he was. Standing outside the resturant(spelling?) looking like he always did. Incredible. But
Caitie found herself wishing it was Jamie standing there, instead of Billy.
"Hey." She smiled. He grinned.
"Hey Caitie. Shall we?" He held open the door and Caitie walked in. Maybe he had changed. The two
ordered and were eating before the conversation really started.
"Military school was rough. I realized I was an awful person...I dumped all my girlfriends when I
found out I was coming back here...to you." Caitie tried to smile.
"Oh..how sweet." Billy nodded.
"Yeah they understood. I guess I need to apologize for treating you so poorly. I was very wrong
to use you like that Caitie. Has anyone ever told you what an amazing person you are?" Billy was
really quite the sweet talker. Caitie smiled and shook her head.
"No. I guess not."
"Really? Not even Jamie Waite." Caitie's head shot up.
"Uh...what does Jamie have to do with this?"
"Nothing. I just thought maybe he liked you. He has a strange way of showing it though. Real guys
aren't afraid to let girls know how they feel." Billy smiled. He stood up and walked over to where
Caitie was now standing. She wanted to leave.
"Billy what are you doing?" Caitie tried to back away as he came closer. He cornered her and planted
one right on her lips. Caitie pushed him off.
"Don't!" Caitie cried.
"Sorry Caitie, but I really like you. You should forget Jamie. I'm a different person. I'm a better
person than him." Caitie was still a little surprised and walked away. She ran home, feeling weird.

Caitie sat on the bleachers. She should have been participating (spelling?) but she wasn't in the
mood to run laps. She heard someone running up the metal bleachers. The metallic clanging was
unmistakeable. There was Jamie. He looked worried, a little nervous. Caitie smiled. He sat down
next to her.
"Hey. I saw you up here." Jamie looked at Caitie.
"Hi. "
"So how'd things go with Billy?" Jamie couldn't stand the suspense.
"Well, he's a changed guy I guess." Caitie said, trying to hide her disgust.
"Caitie, do you know what the definition of insanity is?" Jamie was mad. He didn't want some little
military scum taking his girl.
"Jamie."
"It's doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. A leopard can't change
its spots." Jamie exclaimed.
"Well gosh Jamie, you're just one cliche after another. Why don't you have a little faith in me?!
I know what I'm doing!" Caitie said. She looked at Jamie.
"I just don't want him to hurt you again." Jamie said softly.
"Thanks but I can handle this. It's going to be okay. I'll just tell him he's outa line and needs
to put his lips on someone who wants them there." Caitie stood up, not realizing what she'd said.
"He..he kissed you?!" Jamie stood up too.
"Yeah. It wasn't that great. I've had better." Caitie giggled.
"Really? How much better?" Jamie knew he was flirting but he didn't care. He let it all go. Fear,
doubt and disbelief (a little Matrix for you guys).
"Just better." Caitie smiled. Jamie stepped toward her. He kissed her softly. Caitie's heart beat
like a jackhammer. She looked at him.
"Better than that?" Jamie asked grinning. So his secret was out.
"Uh...."
