Jade walked into Jam Pony the next morning and ran straight into Alec's arms. "Miss me huh?" she asked. "Why? Did you miss me?" he asked, totally avoiding her question. "Course I did sweetie, course I did" she grinned up at him. "So ... You gonna let me go anytime soon?" Alec realized that his arms were still around her and quickly let go. "Oh you loved it" he teased. She just laughed and went to her locker. "Hey Cindy" she smiled at the pretty African-American girl. "Hey suga, how's it goin?" she asked. "Oh it's alright" Jade replied. Just then Max walked over. "Hey guys" was her greeting. "Hey" Jade replied and then said that she had to talk to Normal. "So.. Is Jade nice?" Max asked. "Oh yeah she's great, you just gotta get to know her" OC replied. "It just seems that she always seems to be avoiding me," Max said pouting slightly. "Oh boo, you just paranoid. Why would she be avoiding you? She doesn't even know you."
Meanwhile Alec was watching Jade. He had seen the look on her face when Max had walked up. He had seen her fast getaway. She must have been desperate to get away from Max if she went to talk to Normal. He decided that now was a good time as any to ask her what her problem was. "Hey Jade!" he yelled. "Which sector are you in?" "Sector 7"she yelled back. "OK, hold on. I'm coming with you. Hey boss, anymore packages for sector 7?" "Yeah Golden boy, here you go now bip, bip, bip". He walked up to Jade, packages in hand. She was giving him an impish grin. "What" he asked. "You just cant live without me can you" she smirked. "No I just thought that you couldn't live without me. That's all." "Yeah sure sweetie. Sure" and with one last grin she walked out the door. "Hey wait up!" Alec called after her.
. .
God, he couldn't understand it. She had been avoiding all his questions about Max. He just couldn't understand why she didn't like her. OK so she says that she doesn't have a problem with Max but every time she's there Jade gets a weird look in her eyes. Almost as if she's mad at Max. But if they don't each other than how could Max have offended her? Oh well, knowing Max she probably could've. He found himself outside her apartment door. She had told him where she lived and that she expected her pizza and ice tea at exactly seven o'clock. Alec stared at the door. He was scared, he didn't know why, he just was. Oh man I'm nervous. Alec get a grip man. It's not a date or anything, just pizza. You're friends; she had kinda made that part clear. Well she hadn't said anything specially but that the message that he kinda got when she said that she had sworn off guys. He had asked her if she was straight and she said yeah, then asked him why he asked. He had told her that Cindy was asking and she just said that really cleared some things up for her. He had asked her what she meant and she had said that Cindy kept staring at her. He then asked her what was wrong with people staring because he himself loved the attention. She just whispered that she hated it when people looked at her. He had let the subject drop, she had seemed really upset about it but when she looked up again she seemed fine. But he wasn't sure.
He lifted his hand to knock when she opened the door. "Alec! You scared me. Come in" she said. "Were you going out" he asked her, kinda disappointed that she might have forgotten their date.no meeting. "No, I just thought I heard a noise outside and it was freaking me out. So you got my pizza and iced tea?" "Yeah but I could only get peach" "peach! I told you to get lemon! I hate peach. Alec" she whined, "why do you hate me so much cant you even get me some lemon iced tea?" she asked pretending to cry. "Oh get over it I got you the lemon." "Yes" she cried as she grabbed the carton and box of pizza. "You want some?" she asked with her mouth full of pizza. "Yeah sure" he laughed. "Hey, there's a really good TV show on now, wanna watch?" "Yeah alright" as she moved onto couch. He sat down next to her and tried to ignore the heat coming off of her. God she's beautiful he thought.
He looked over at her when the TV show finished. She had fallen asleep on his arm and it took all his control to stop himself from kissing her. "Hey, wake up." He shook her lightly. "Go away" she whined, "I'm sleeping". He grinned. She sounded like a five-year-old. She had fallen asleep again so he picked her up and carried her into her bedroom. He placed her lightly down on the bed. "Alec" she said. "Yeah it's me, go to sleep". "OK." "He decided to take advantage of her sleepiness. "Jade, why don't you like Max?" "Because" she said. "Because what?" he asked. "She doesn't deserve to be liked" was the answer he got. Now he was really confused. She doesn't deserve to be liked. He really didn't understand. "Jade" he whispered but she was already fast asleep.
