I stared at Craig. He looked as sad as if his dog had just died or as mad as he would be if he had spilled coffee on the crotch of his pants. He look was almost to hard to describe with words.

"Craig," I tried started to say " I'd didn't mean to."

"Oh what Jade?" Craig said practically shouting " you just slipped and your lips just happened to land on his, oh, and your tongue just 'slipped into his' is that what you where going to say to me? Huh?"

"Actually it have happ…" Jimmy started to say

"Jimmy don't." I cut him off.

"What do you guys think I'm some sort of idiot?!? Come' on, I don't even think spinner would believe shit like that!" Craig said. His voice was still raised and sounded like it had been hurt and the truth was, and he had.

"I mean Jade, I really liked you., and I thought you liked me too, almost as much as I liked you. Guess I was wrong…"

"No, Craig I did like you, I mean a still do…" I tried to say but Jimmy interrupted/

"Well, what do you mean Jade, I thought I was the one for you. I mean we had such a connection." Jimmy said. "and those kisses, well…they where amazing." Jimmy got all starry eyes. Craig sorta snarled at Jimmy like a dog.

"Jade, its either me or him." he said. I looked at Jimmy from Craig. I had liked both of them so much. I wanted to be with both, but of course. I knew that wasn't possible. Well, maybe it would happen if Craig was bi or something and had a secrets crush on Jimmy and me and then all three of them could be together but I don't think that is going to happen.

"wait," I said. "Are you guys asking me to choose between the both of you?" Craig and Jimmy looked at each other and then at me. Jimmy shot Craig a dirty look.

"Yes" he said. " At the nighttime dance on Friday night. Be ready with your decision by then."

~*LATER THE NIGHT*~

I lay in my bed my eyes focused on the ceiling. My mind was blank. I wasn't really think about anything. that's how I get when I'm dealing with a big conflict, I tend to sorta black out when that happens. I heard a ringing sound in the background, then my mind turned on. The phone was ringing ! I picked it up.

"Hey Babe, It's Paige" Paige said

"Hey Paige." I said not sounded that excited about her call.

"Wow you sound happy." Paige joked.

"Well, im not in the best mood." I sighed.

"I know," Paige said " I heard about the whole Jimmy and Craig thing."
"How did you hear about that?" I asked. Only me, Jimmy, and Craig was there.

"Well, Jimmy and Spinner are best friends. So Jimmy told Spinner and Spinner told…ugh…me" Paige said. Of course Spinner would tell her. Paige had got Spinner wrapped around her perfectly French manicured finger. He would have told her anything.

"Oh." I just said.

"Girl, I'm so sorry. I know how hard of a choice that must be for you." Paige coaxed. Trying to make me feel better.

" I know and I really like both." I said.

"Maybe Jimmy's bi, and has a crush on craig." paige suggested

"Ha," I laughed "I already thought of that." but in my version Craig was bi and had a crush on Jimmy. Same difference though.

"So are you going to go to the dance anyways?" Paige asked. I knew she had called me to ask me that. Then she wanted to spend the rest of our conversation planning out hair, make-up, and her favorite topic - shoes!

"I don't know," I said. " I mean Craig and Jimmy want me to make my decision at the dance, but I was just thinking about skipping it and putting off my choice another day. You know give me some more time to think."

"Come on" Paige urged "you just have to go. You have to make your choice then or you know you'll never make it."

"I know," I admitted. Damn, Paige was right. If I didn't go that night I would never make my choice. "Paige," I said " I have a problem though. I don't have a date" I knew I couldn't go the dance with either Craig or Jimmy and going alone was always embarrassing.

"Oh, no problem hun," she said. " I got just the perfect guy to take you to the dance. Believe me. He'll be a great date." Paige told me who she could get to take me to the dance. I giggled but agreed to go with the guy. This dance might not be as stressful as I thought it was going to be. I was actually looking forward to it. Then the dreadful question came into my head again- who was I going to choose?
