Jett ran up the court for a lay up, but a certain someone slapped the ball out his hand before he could make the basket. He turned around to see who it was. He saw Kayla resting the ball under her arm and she smirked. "Think you're a big shot huh? Better get back on defense, you need some learning to do." Jett shook his head and laughed a little.
"You need the learning." He said. "Let me see you make a lay up." He folded his arms and gave JB a glance. JB shook his head cracking a smile. He was standing on the sidelines, watching Kay and Jett play each other. He laughed the whole time, cause of their competitiveness. "Go get him Kayla!" he yelled out.
"Thanks JB." She said, trying to annoy Jett even more. She began to dribble the ball and made her run towards the right side of the court. She Leaped up and let the ball go out her right hand toward the basket. It went in with a swoosh, making JB cheer on. "Nice one! That's even better than yours Jett." Kayla grinned proudly and put her hands on her hips. "Now, can you top that." She said in a pungent voice. Jett rolled his eyes and jokingly gave her a little shove. Kayla giggled and pushed back.
"Sore Loser huh?"
"Okay, you win. But I'll be ready for you next time." JB clapped in amusement and looked down at his watch. "Dang, 4:00 already?" Jett and Kayla walked towards him. "JB, headed somewhere? You didn't even play some one on one with me."
"Um, Jett can I borrow Kayla for a minute?" he asked quickly. Jett gave him a strange look and then he looked at Kay. She shrugged.
"Borrow Kay? What?"
"Just for a sec." JB abruptly grabbed Kayla's arm and dragged her out the courts and across the street.
"JB, what are you doing?" she asked pulling away.
"Look," said JB holding up a hand. "I'm going to tell you."
"Tell me what?" JB looked across the street. He saw Jett shooting hoops. He turned his attention back on Kayla. "Jett.." he began.
"What about him." She said.
"He likes you." He spat out. "He liked you ever since the day he set eyes on you."
"Your just saying that, to try to make me feel good." Said Kayla. She put a hand on his shoulder. "Thanks for trying to help anyway." She was ready to cross the street, but JB ran in front of her. "Kayla, please. It's true. I mean I known Jett all my life! He tells me everything and he definitely told me he has a crush on you." JB looked into Kayla's eyes pleadingly. "Kayla he told me." He knew he got through to her. The way her eyes lowered and how she breathed. She slowly looked up at her friend. "JB you mean it?" She asked in a tiny voice.
JB nodded. "I mean it. I promise." Kayla tilted her head over at the courts and watched Jett make some jump shots. "You are telling me the truth. Are you JB."
"Yeah. He's been had eyes on you. He just was scared to say it. I mean the guys obsessed with you."
"Okay, I'm going to tell him." Kayla raised her head high and made her way across the street. Every step she took, her heart beat it faster. She was scared to death, but had to do it while she still had a chance.
"Jett." She called out. He stopped shooting hoops and turned to her. You and JB done yet? What was that all about?" he asked.
Kayla hesitated for a minute and then spoke up. "Here it goes. Jett we known each other for, for quite sometime now."
To the dramatic stuff, she thought.
"Kay, what are you talking about?"
"Um, Jett we are the bestest of friends, right?" She knew she was acting stupid now. The way she slurred the words out and wasn't thinking of what she said next.
"Of course we're best friends."
"And I just want to say that, I've felt more than that." Kayla looked down at her feet, not wanting to see the expression on his face. "I-I- Like you Jett."
Oh god please! Tell me, he likes me too! Please don't make me look like a fool.
Kayla waited for a response and felt Jett hand lift her chin up. Kayla looked into his eyes and then saw Jett grin. "I like you too. I can't believe you like me. I mean I could never ever tell you. I thought you were too good for me."
Kayla sighed in relief. "Me too. You are the famous Jett Jackson. Who could ever have the courage to have a thing on you." Kayla was ready to back away when all of a sudden Jett leaned over and gave Kayla a gentle kiss on the lips. That made Kayla's heart skip a beat. Her hands wandered towards Jett's back as he never unlocked his lips from hers. Finally after a while, he parted taking in deep puffs of air. So did Kayla.
"Okay, what just happened here?" said Kayla touching her lips. She couldn't believe it, but she had too. Jett kissed. Right there. For the very first time.
"I don't know." He responded. He laughed lightly and so did Kayla. "So what does this means?" she asked.
"Who knows. I bet you, everyone at School will be talking about this for months."
"Yeah. Even though our feelings changed Jett, your still my buddy."
"You'll still be my buddy too." They embraced for a while.
"Okay break it up." Said JB getting in between the two. "Enough of this mushy stuff let's get back to our basketball game, shall we."
Dear Diary,
Today was so amazing! I told Jett that I liked him. I know I said to tell him that I loved him, but that was too soon. Love is a word that is special and comes from the heart and is sacred. Love is also a word that you commit to the rest of your life. I mean we're not on that level yet. But I hope to be. He'll always be my best friend even though we're on a new level. I can't even imagine becoming the girlfriend, of Jett. Every single girl wants Jett. The TV star. Well I got lucky. He chose me. Well I shouldn't be bragging on about this new romance. I have to give it credit to JB. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have ever admitted my feelings for him. I would still be writing the same old thing in my diary. Oh yeah, did I forget that he kissed me! It felt so good. I mean I kissed a boy before, but with Jett its like heaven. What if this is love? We will never know.
Oh great, it's almost 11:00, I better get to sleep. I've got school tomorrow. Write in yah later.
Kayla
