Chapter 3
Ashley was more than a little confused. It had been a week since the first day of school and Jimmy and Manny were still walking around like long lost lovers. She had been sure when she first spotted them on the school steps with Craig, that their relationship was just some sort of joke. It certainly couldn't last a day, but now here she was walking into class the next Monday as Jimmy and Manny floated by, hand-in-hand. It made her want to puke.
"Why do you care if your ex wants to date someone else?," Ellie asked her as she slid into a seat next to her in computer class.
"It's not that care!, Ashley protested "It's just seems wrong to me. I've known Jimmy for a long time and Manny is not his type!"
Ellie gave her a knowing look.
"Ok. Fine. Whatever you say."
But Ashley wasn't completely sure why she cared. She had Craig. And Craig was wonderful. He was smart, sweet, fun, and a total hottie. So what was her problem? She had gotten over Jimmy along time ago and had moved on with her life, hadn't she?
"Hey, there Ashley."
Ashley looked up from her computer screen to see Paige smiling down at her.
"What do you want Paige?"
"I just thought you might want to know that I'm throwing a huge bash on Friday at my house." Paige replied.
"So what?"
"Well, you and your little boyfriend are invited is all."
Ashley was shocked. It had been a long time since Paige had invited her anywhere.
"Why in the world would I be invited?" Ashley suspiciously questioned.
"Well, I just can't resist being in the center of drama and with Jimmy and Manny there, plus you and Craig, there's sure to be a ton of it!" Paige laughed and walked back over to her computer across the room.
"You aren't going to go, are you?" Ellie leaned over and whispered to Ashley.
Ashley shrugged. She didn't know what to do. On the one hand, she wanted to show Paige up. She was perfectly capable of going to a party where Jimmy was with out causing a scene. On the other hand, she wondered what it would be like to be at a party with Jimmy and his new girlfriend. Would they be dancing together? Or Kissing?
The bell rang and Ashley practically flew out of the classroom. She had to get away from Paige before she cornered her about the party.
"Hey. Wait up!" Craig's voice called down the hall after her.
Ashley turned around and tried to smile.
"Hey."
Craig ran up to her, grabbing her hand in his.
"What's up?" He asked as they made their way towards the cafeteria.
"Oh, nothing. Paige is just annoying me is all."
Ashley looked over at Craig. He really was a sweetheart and she truly did care for him. Why was she so jealous of Manny then? Maybe it was all just in her head. Suddenly she got an idea.
"She invited us to a huge party at her house on Friday." She continued " And I think we should go."
"Ok. Cool" Craig nodded in agreement.
"Jimmy and Manny will be there too."
Suddenly Craig stopped in his tracks.
"Geez, Ashley- why would you want to go then? It's just going to cause a problem." Craig couldn't understand it. He had spent the entire first week trying to avoid the sight of Jimmy and Manny making out in the halls. Now Ashley wanted to drag him to a party where they would be all over each other?
"Why is it going to cause a problem? It would only cause a problem if one of us weren't over Jimmy or Manny" Ashley had to convince Craig to go to the party. It was the only way to know her true feelings for Jimmy. If all of this jealousy stuff was in her head, then she should be able to go to Paige's party with Craig and be happy no matter what. She could watch Manny and Jimmy be together all night and not care because she had Craig. It was the only way.
"Hey, I'm over Manny! I was never really into Manny." Craig suddenly felt defensive. He hadn't really ever been too interested in Manny. Sure, she was cute, and sweet but way too immature, wasn't she? It was funny, but not until he had seen her Jimmy, laughing and smiling away that he missed her sense of immaturity. Sometimes, it was fun to just kick back and goof off. Ashley and him were always seriously discussing issues. That was important, he knew, but so was being young. Maybe Manny had more good qualities then he had recognized.
Suddenly, the cafeteria doors swung open and Jimmy and Manny walked into the hallway.
"Hey guys!" Jimmy had been polite to Craig and Ashley all week.
"Hey Jimmy" Ashley responded as Craig mumbled out a hello, still lost in thought.
"You guys are coming to Paige's party on Friday, aren't you?" Manny asked
Ashley turned to Craig.
"Umm..I don't know."
"Of course!" Craig cut in. If Ashley thought it was a good idea, then he did too. He had nothing to hide. If Ashley could see Jimmy kiss Manny all night, then he could certainly stand the sight of Manny making out with Jimmy. Beside, Ashley was the girl of his dreams.
"Great! Manny has to volunteer at the hospital for a few hours and then we're heading over. Probably around nine."
The hospital? Craig was stunned. Maybe Manny was more mature then he thought.
"Cool. See you then." Manny smiled wide and grabbed Jimmy's hand as they continued down the hall, laughing and talking. Ashley watched them retreat through the school, and was shocked when Jimmy bent down and kissed Manny's lips quickly. She felt her heart break into a million pieces. She quickly glanced at Craig, and noticed his face twisted in disgust as he witnessed the kiss too.
I just hope this party is a good idea. Ashley thought to herself as she entered the cafeteria with Craig, One way or the other, she knew she would find out her true feelings on Friday.
Chapter 4: Either Manny or Jimmy's point of view leading up to the jammy jam. I think it may be Jimmy's, then Manny's for the party, and Craig's for the day after.Maybe...
