Summary: Jessica is new to St. Robs and she changes Jeff Hardy's lifestyle by capturing his heart.

RECAP: Jess and Jeff has confirmed to themselves that they like one another. But Jess believes that Jeff thinks of her only as a friend.

-*-

Ok, I'm gonna regret doing this, I know. I'm just such a bitch…* "Jeff, do you like me? And I mean more then a friend." She said honestly.

" Ha…" Jeff coughed nervously, "that just came out of no where." He smiled. He was a pretty good actor. Jess fell for the 'genuine' smile.

"Oh, haha… I was just asking. I just wanted to clear up some mixed signals…" * Whew… that must be the most embarrassing moment ever… Well at least I can talk freely to him now… although I have got to tell Mandy bout it hehehe…*

"So, you're going to go to the prom right?"

"Oh, of course. I think it'd be fun going with friends."

"Well we're here." Jeff said as he stopped the car and went to the other side to open the door for her. She walked slowly up the stairs. She felt really weak and Jeff could tell. She unlocked the door to her house.

"Would you like me to stay with you, just for awhile." Jeff asked.

"I don't know, I mean, all I need is just rest." Jess replied frankly.

"I'll get you to bed…" Jeff paused. "... I mean, friends are there for each other right?"

"OH, well then… ok fine."

-*-

"Well I guess you can stay here for a while. But I don't want to keep you from your classes." Jess said.

"It really is ok. To tell you the truth... hahaha… I might not have gone to class anyway." Jeff said.

"You were really going to skip class?" Jess gave him a strange stare as she led him to the kitchen.

"Yah, it's not like it's the first time…" Jeff said honestly. He didn't realize how he is being judged of everything he is telling her right now.

"Mmm… Hmm…" Jess said, frankly quite disappointed, as she poured him a cup of water. " You know, it's not really that good to skip classes…" As she started to talk about the 'importance of education'.

*Some how, the first time she lectured me, I was irritated…* Jeff thought and he nodded occasionally, *But I'm beginning to understan… wait, hell with school… anyway… I think I should pay attention now…*

"So in conclusion," as she spoke in a speech type of manner, " you… pay attention Jeff… Jeff, school is… argh, forget it…" she laughed lightly. She handed him the cup of water and turned to sit on the stool.

"So…. I heard that you argued with your friend … Jan?" Jeff asked, trying to start conversation.

"Oh, you mean Jen… Sort of. I don't know what her problem is, I mean, I just don't sit with her during lunch and sit with you guys, and she turns her back on me…" sighs Jess. *I know I shouldn't be bad mouthing her in front of Jeff, but it does feel good to have someone beside only having Mandy to tell my problems to*

"Well I guess I'm sort of to blame…" Jeff said quietly.

"Huh? Why is that? It's not like you… oh, well, that was just once." Jess suddenly remembered.

"Yah, well if I hadn't asked you to sit with Natalie, Christy and me for the first few days, I guess this wouldn't have happened."

"It's not your fault. I could have said no…" *Yah, like three people ganging up on me… but stop blaming others! It's your fault. You gave up your friends for others… for popularity? *

~~~ 1 hour later ~~~

Jeff and Jess talked for a while, and after the incident in the car, Jeff was too nervous to make a move on Jess. And well, Jess was happy to have let Jeff stay with her for a while, she opened up and told him her vows, which at first, set him back a bit, but he seemed cool with it.

"Well, there's still the last period if you left now, you'd still make it…" Jess said.

Seeing that Jess wanted him to go, he did it just to please her…

"Oh, yah, ok then, nice chatting with ya. Get some rest, and I'll see you tomorrow then." And with that he left.

-*-

He thought about the fact that he did like Jess, and the more time he spent with her, like the last hour, made him feel ideal. But hearing her vows, he was having second thoughts…

AT THE SCHOOL

"Oh, Jeffy, where'd you go, You said you'd be right back…" Natalie whined, but kept her very… very perky grin.

"Oh, I drove Jess home, sorry bout that, but she wasn't in the shape to go run and catch a bus." Jeff said.

"Well… that's nice…. I mean, that you are very nice… and sweet" She said, but the hint of jealousy was still upon her.

"So I'm going to go to class now, aren't you coming?" Jeff asked Natalie.

"You? Going to class? Sure…" She said, a bit shocked.

"Well…" Jeff said as they headed to room 101 for class, "Are you going to the prom next week?"

Her face lit up, " Oh, yah… maybe.." She said, attempting to play hard-to- get.

"Cause I was hoping you could go with us." Jeff said.

"Us? What do you mean US?" she snapped.

"Oh… me, Jess, Christy, and of the gang." Jeff said.

"Oh, O.K.. you means as friends?" She asked, a bit shocked.

"Yah… is there a problem?"

"so you're not going to be having a date or anything, for your senior prom?"

"No, I'm not… I wanted to bring Jess, as a friend of course, and show her how it's like."

*Oh, like she has never gone to one... that conniving bitch* Natalie thought.

"Ok, yah, I'd like to go…" *even if she is trying to lie like that, she won't get to him* Natalie thought to herself.

"Ok, great, and did your remember to tell the teachers she was sort of sick?"

"YES!" she said, getting a bit irritated when all Jeff talked about had some sort of relation to Jess.

-*-

Back at Jess's home, Jess took a nap, and at around 5 she logged online and started to write a letter to Mandy and tell her all the stuff that she and Jeff talked about. She included her thoughts and seeked for advice. She knew that she had left her friends, and probably had her marks pulled down, all because of Jeff. This could be stretching it, but she thought it was Jeff's fault. She wanted to be near him more, during the period when she was confused if she like him or not. And even though she had it all answered, she still couldn't take that step and break her 'vow'.

After clicking send, she went to check her mail.

17 unread messages.

Most were commercials, some were information about universities that taught veterinary medicine. And the last one caught her eye. Last summer, she applied for a school. The school was opened in many places, but the two main headquarters were in North Carolina and in Saskatchewan. *Good thing I'm not having too much problems here, or else I'd accept this* she thought as she exited.
