Thanks a lot for the reviews! [Kel, Babyj, Elissa, you guys are sweet! I know there was one more but I forget your name SORRY! But you were sweet too.] Sorry it took so long for this Chapter. But here it is!

The next day at school, Jimmy and Ashley were found walking in together. People were whispering, and even Ashley's best friend, Ellie, didn't know the truth yet. The first comment was made by none other than Paige Michelchuck. (Sp?)

"Jimmy. . ." She said, eyeing him. "I didn't know you went for druggies." She giggled in a very high pitched and annoying way and turned around, expecting her two partners in crime to laugh along with her. Hazel let out a nervous laugh and Terri just stood there. Jimmy reached out and was about ready to get up in Paige's face until Ashley grabbed his arm.

"Don't worry about it." She said quietly. "It's only Paige." Jimmy looked at Paige with a glare full of hate and walked away.

"Girls. . .hello, I didn't see you laughing." Paige turned back to them.

"That's because it wasn't funny." Terri retorted quickly, then drew away, shocked at her own mouth.

"Terri, you wouldn't want to make me believe that, would you, hun? Cause if I did, I could leave you friendless with rumors haunting you the rest of your high school career." She said evilly. Then she giggled. "But hun, you know you wouldn't want that." And saying that, she and Hazel walked away.

"Sorry Paige." Terri said, loud enough for her to hear.

"Excuse me?" Paige asked.

"I said I was sorry." Terri retorted.

"Oh I know what you said," Paige commented slyly, "but you know Ashley won't take you back. So once you left me, you're all alone." Paige smiled evilly.

"Of course she would!" Terri said, her voice rising. She picked up her bag and thrust it around her shoulder. "You'll see!" She said as she walked into the school. Now everyone was staring at Paige. She laughed.

"That poor girl." Hazel said and shook her head. "Don't know what's good for her."

"You said it, Haze," Paige commented. "You said it." And with that, they also walked inside the school.

Terri was quick to find Ashley. She found her sitting at Jimmy's table, with Ellie, Craig, and a few other guys she didn't know. Awkwardly Terri walked up the table and bent over.

"Ash." She said. "Can I talk to you?" Ashley turned around and gave her a dirty look.

"Why?" Then she turned back to her food and took Jimmy's hand.

"Ash . . . please." Ashley rolled her eyes and looked back at Terri.

"This better be good." She replied and she let go of Jimmy and whispered something in his ear. He looked up at Terri and shook his head. Terri guessed she told Jimmy what had happened. Either she did, or Paige. Either way, Ashley got up reluctantly and they walked to the girl's bathroom. "What?" Ashley asked, leaning on a sink. She was wearing black leather pants and a red halter, with a black denim jacket. Her boots were big and black and her hair got new red highlights in it. Terri looked like a little girl compared to Ashley: in her blue and pink skirt with matching cardigan and white sweater.

"I'm sorry." She said her face turning pink.

"Sorry doesn't mean anything anymore." Ashley said looking at her former friend.

"But it does. I already ditched Paige." Terri sighed and said, hoping Ashley would understand. They stood silently for a minute.

"Why now?" Ashley asked. "Why now?" Terri looked down at her shoes. "Oh wait," Ashley said with hate in her voice. "It's because now I'm with Jimmy. Now you're starting to think like Paige. Now I'm back with Jimmy it's okay to be friends with me, cause now I'm 'Cool.' I get it." She gave Terri an evil look and walked out of the bathroom, slamming the door.

So, like it? Review please!
