"OK, let me get this straight," I, (Chris) said thinking of everything he had just been told. It was Saturday morning and I had called a meeting in my room. Well, it didn't seem like a meeting. For one Billy didn't come on the count of I didn't invite him. Second since it was a Saturday morning so everyone was half awake. But I wasn't, wide awake listening to Jessie's, who was pacing back and forth, story. She was saying everything she knew on the whole situation that had started with Leon bad mouthing me, to yesterday's outburst of my love for Jill. "Amber....ok Bill ...no Amber showed Bill Jill's picture, the one he showed me the first day she came to Holy Name. But Jill saw me on the bus and she liked me and not Bill who liked her first. Am I right so far." I said trying to organize my thoughts. I still couldn't believe Bill was capable or would even do such things as what he did. Jessie had stopped pacing the floor of my room and was just standing there with her hands on her hips. Her yellow shirt with a cat in the center, and pj looking pants, and with her hair in a bun, made her look like she just got out of bed like two minutes ago. Frankie who sat on the floor near the door looked like he still was in dream land. His short looked like the one he wore yesterday, and his pants didn't have a belt so if he stood up they were sure to fall. George had seated himself in my desk chair. He looked a little more awake then the other's (except Chris who is wide awake) and he dressed the same with his short sleeve shirt over his long sleeve shirt. His pants: katkeys( I sounded it out like my teacher said too). Lastly there was Claire, yea she was there too. She sat on the bed with me but a little ways behind me. Now she was in her pj's. She had walked by my room and saw the door open and my friends were inside. She was gonna continue to walk when I said. "Claire, come in here you need to hear this too." I said with my hand to gesture her in. 'What me, at one of the 'gang's' meetings, I wonder...' she was still so shocked that she almost dropped her poptart. (I'm done telling you how stuff looks so on with the story,) "Ya, so far you got it." Jessie said. "I just don't get it Bill would never do anything to hurt one of us." George said, swinging back and forth in his chair. "But he has." Were the first words Frankie had said since he had arrived. "Can I continue?" I asked looking around at his friends. The silence told me, I could. "So Bill is mad at me for attracting Jill, so he gets Amber to spread a rumor. She told Jessie the stuff the Kennedy 'supposedly' said," Making quotations marks with my hands." I naturally get mad and beat up the kid, which in turn makes me look like an ass in front of Jill who Amber brought to see the fight. " "That's cause you were an ass." Claire said under her breath, she was still mad at me for beating up her friend. I pretended to ignore this, yet guilt still swept across my face. "Anyway, Claire unknowingly helped the situation with her little 'Mommy' remark." It was Claire turn to feel and look guilty. "Anyhow I guess this wasn't enough so she tried to get info from Jessie to see if I liked Jill back but it didn't work but they knew if anyone, Claire would be the first to know so they found out who she liked, right, and then threatens to tell that person if she didn't start doing as they say." "You skipped a part, remember they got Carlos into to this and when you told me about Jill that day in detention, he over heard and told Bill." Jessie stated. "But why would he help them?" George asked.

"I don't know, Amber told me to ask him and I an't feeling like talkin' to that jerk by myself." Jessie said. "Right, and that's how Bill found out and he told Amber and then she ordered Claire around." I said happy to get it all sorted out in my head.But I wasn't happy about the info I had sorted out. "Yea but you found out their plans so it can't work anymore." Claire said, hoping that would cheer up everyone. "No, it worked, Jill don't like Chris anymore." Jessie said, avoiding my sadden eyes and turning them to Claire instead. "True as it be, she don't like Bill either so in a way the plan didn't work but in a way... it did." George said. Frankie only nodded in agreement. "So who does she like?" Claire asked. "Ask her, she only knows." Jessie replied. "Godd!", I said, fists tight, knuckles getting white. "I am gonna shove my foot so far up Bill's ass that..." I stopped remember Claire was still there and they were in my house with a mom that seemed to know and hear all. And as if there was a cue, my mom knocked on the doorway. "Watch you mouth, Christopher." She said in a strict tone. "Now I may not know what is going on between you and Bill but you better get over it cause you have a phone and it's him." His mom said, she stepped back waiting for me to stand up. I stood and walked out into the hallway, when I was out of sight the others they heard a smacking sound as my mom smacked up side the back of my head. "I swear, Christopher, you .." She was saying. "Should we follow?" George asked. Their silence told him nothing.

Downstairs, in the living room I seated himself on the couch, where on the small table next to me was the unhooked phone. 'What am I supposed to say, does he know I know, do I want him to know I know, how am I supposed to talk to him with my mom in the other room.' All this went though my head as I picked the phone up. "Hello." "Hey, Chris buddy we need to talk, I believe there has been a misunderstanding. Maybe we can work something out. Let's say meet me at the park, around 2:00 where we can 'discuss' our problems, Oh and bring your gloves, Jill is gonna be there and I don't want to embarrass you any farther." With that Bill hung up the phone giving me no time to reply. "Well that was short, what did he say?" My mom asked. "Uh we gotta meet him at the park at two, don't worry mom everything is fine between us." I obviously lied. "Do you think I'm dumb." She said stepping out of the kitchen.

In Chris's room

"You're his sister it would be more normal for you to go down." Frankie was saying. They all wanted to know what Bill and Chris were saying to each other. And if Bill got Chris mad enough he wasn't gonna tell them what they were talking about. "So. If I go down there he'll send me back up." Claire stated. "I think Jessie should go. He won't shoo her away." Jessie just looked down to hide her blushing face and shook her head in disagreement. The others looked at her and it was decided. A few seconds later Jessie found herself walking down the stairs.

Chris and mom "Is this about a girl?" my mom asked. I wasn't gonna lie. I mean what is the worse that can come from telling your mom the truth. "Well.. yea, it does, see Billy likes this girl, this girl likes me, I kinda like her back and now he's mad at me." I spat. "Is it Jessie because you told me he like her once." She said. "No, Jessie is just a friend, mom, stop trying to get us together." See this isn't the first time she has hinted that she thought me and Jessie made a good couple. Yea we would if we weren't friends. "But she likes you sweetheart." She said. How does she do it? "Mom's talk." She said answering my unasked question. "But.." "Oh, daughters tell their mothers tons of stuff." She said answering my next question. "Oh... well I don't like her back mother, and I never will." Maybe I might have said it a little to meanly. Cause my mom just frowned and it deepened as her gaze went to something behind me. "Oh Jessie dear." She said. I turned half hoping nothing was there, and half of me was shocked when I saw what or who rather, it was. There she was, Jessie Green, sorrow in her eyes. She mumbled something about suddenly having to go, then walked right out my door. I couldn't even say or yell 'wait', cause she was already out of hearing. I went back upstairs remembering the rest of the guys were still there. When the asked where Jessie went I just said "home." I then told them what Bill said on the phone. "That means you got an hour till hour time." Frankie said looking at my clock. "No that thing is forty minutes fast we..I got only twenty minutes."I said.
