Ashley's POV
************
When Ashley found out that Paige was staying with Ashley, in Ashley's room, she was not happy.
"Why did you say yes?" Ashley had asked her mom.
Ashley's mom explained that it was a "polite thing to do." Ashley didn't care if it would give her family a million dollars, Ashley didn't want Paige there.
At school, the day before Paige was going to come over to Ashley's, Ellie was absent from school. At lunch, Ashley sat, doing a poem for her Language Arts class, when she felt a light hand touch her shoulder. She looked back, it was Jimmy's hand.
"Hey Ashley..." He said.
"Hi." Ashley said, not knowing what to do.
"Maybe...well....nevermind..." He said, and walked off.
Ashley grabbed his hand. "What?" She asked, encouraging him to tell her.
"Maybe..Saturday...tomorrow...we could go to a movie or something?" Jimmy asked.
Ashley's heart must have lept fifty million feet in the air.
"Sure...come over to my house at seven. Okay?" She asked.
He nodded and walked off.
Jimmy had actually asked her to go to the movies. JIMMY AND ASHLEY COULD ACTUALLY BE BACK TOGETHER! Then again; it could be a big joke....
After school, Ashley was sitting at the table, helping Toby figure out a math problem, when the phone rang.
"Hello?" Ashley said, hoping it was Jimmy.
"Ashley. Hi, hun, it's Paige." Paige said in a fake sweet voice.
"What?" Ashley said.
"I just wanted to let you know, I'm coming by the house at 9:00AM. Period. Got it?" Paige asked.
Ashley hung up. At least she'd have Jimmy though.

Paige's POV
----------------------
When Paige found out Jimmy was going to go out with Ashley, for real, not a joke or anything, she got mad. In her opinion, Ashley was just a waste of space, and Jimmy could have somebody who was worth all the sadness he'd went through. Namely: Paige. Of course, Jimmy had other plans. He said something along the lines of "I still like Ashley, and I'm going out with her." Paige had begged, pleaded and screamed, but he said that it was final.
So, Paige decided to get Craig for Saturday night, so she could keep her eyes on Jimmy and Ashley. Of course, Craig knew about this. He also wanted to keep his eyes on Jimmy and Ashley. He was sooo in love with Ashley. Why? Well, Paige certainly didn't know.
That night, Paige asked her mom once more to just let her go to Europe with them.
"I won't be a hassle. I promise." Paige said.
"No! Paige, we've already been through this. It's simple. I don't have a plane ticket for you. You'd have to sit in the hotel all four weeks, and you'd be bored out of your mind. NO NO NO NO!" Mrs. Michelchuck said.
The same response came when Paige asked Mr. Michelchuck.
Paige had decided to just steer clear of Ashley, that way there was no chance that they might become friends or talk or anything. Paige didn't need to be hanging out with druggies.
Hazel and Terri were totally being jerks on the subject of Paige at Ashley's. They thought that it was just one mistake, and that Paige should give Ashley another chance. Another chance? One chance was enough! Anyone with a clear head on her shoulders would know that drugs are so not the way to coolness.
Jimmy was obviously agreeing with Paige and Terri and had cut off all contact with Paige. He said that he didn't want to be around someone who couldn't forgive and forget. Why was Paige the bad person here? Ashley was the one who took ecstacy! Ashley was the one who called names! Ashley was the one who kissed people. And what about Toby? He was the one who was going to take drugs in the first place! So, why was everyone against Paige?
As Paige wrote in her journal that night; it's amazing how one small thing, like a pill, can influence one big thing; like a friendship for the rest of your life. If friendship really can defy all odds, then why weren't Paige and Ashley friends? Obviously, love could defy all odds, though, because Ashley and Jimmy were basically back together.
Why was Ashley getting all the good things, when Paige was suffering? And Paige didn't do anything wrong.
