Chapter 8: Love Bites
The next day, Jimmy and Terri walked to school together. They passed by
Rick. Jimmy made a face. Terri rolled her eyes. They then walked away.

"What does Rick see in Ellie?" Terri asked.
"Huh?" said Jimmy.
"Oh. Nothing." They continued to walk.

"Ashley, wait up!" Jimmy screamed.
"Jimmy? What do you want?" Ashley asked. "Hi Terri."
"Hi!" said Terri.
"I just wanted to thank you for that compliment yesterday."
"You're welcome, I mean it's true. You're pretty hot."
"You've been looking good lately too."
"Excuse me? Maybe you don't realize that I'm right here in front of you
guys!" said Terri.
"Terri, shut up!" said Jimmy.
"I'm so annoyed right now," said Terri.
"Um, maybe I should, um, head to class right now. Bye Jimmy, bye Terri!"
said Ashley. She ran off before she could hear their argument.

"Jimmy, what was that? You were flirting right in front of me!" Terri
screamed.
"We were just talking."
"Stop it with your excuses! I heard her call you hot and you call her good-
looking! And how dare you tell me to shut up!"
"Calm down, mom. It was just a compliment."
"Sure it was. You ignored me and flirted with one of my friends and you
call that just a 'compliment'?"
"As if you weren't looking at other guys. Remember before, when you said
that Ellie isn't good enough for Rick?"
"Please, it's not the same thing."
"Now you're making excuses for yourself, but everything I do is wrong!"
"Exactly! Because you are not perfect!"
"So you want a boyfriend who's perfect? Then ask Rick, cuz we're over! Oh
wait, Rick beats girls, he isn't perfect! We are over!" Jimmy walked away.
Terri was very angry.
"Fine! Whatever!"
Terri started to cry. Her eyes became very red and puffy.

Jimmy walked into homeroom, very pissed.
"Yo Jimmy, is everything okay?" Craig asked.
"Does it look like everything's okay, damnit?" Jimmy screamed.
"Okay man, calm down!"
"Sorry man, Terri and I broke up."
"Oh, sorry."
"Dude, there's Terri!" said Spinner. "Her eyes are really red."
"Does it look like I care?" Jimmy asked.
"Apparently, because you would be over her already."

"Terri, is everything okay?" Ashley asked.
"Look Ash, this is all your fault so just shut the hell up."
"Geez, I was just being nice to Jimmy."
"Don't play the innocent child crap on me, I'm not in the mood!"
"Fine."
"Ter, don't mind Jimmy. You just need to move on," said Paige.
"Yeah, he's not the only guy out there!" said Hazel.
"There are plenty of guys who like you," said Paige.
"Not the way Jimmy did," Terri said. She started to cry.

The day went by slowly. Jimmy and Terri were both angry and couldn't
concentrate in class. Rick was trying to get Ellie back.

"Ellie, I'm sorry. Please forgive me," said Rick.
"No, I can't be with you. What if you hurt me again?" Ellie asked.
"I'm so sorry and it will never happen again. I love you."
"I love you too, but not if you will do this to me."
"It will not. Don't worry." He kissed her and gave her flowers. She smiled.
"I forgive you."

Things were going pretty good for Ellie and Rick, but Terri and Jimmy just
ignored each other. Terri wouldn't talk to Ashley either. Lunch time came.

Terri, Paige and Hazel were sitting at a table together.
"Terri, just move on!" said Paige.
"I know, but it's hard. When you find someone you love and he turns out to
be wrong for me."
"Then keep looking for the right boy."
"Please Paige, I'm getting sick of people giving me advice."
"Fine, suit yourself."
"Maybe you should just listen to Paige," said Hazel.
"But it won't change anything," said Terri.
"It might help you in some way."
"Oh no, here comes the boyfriend stealer!" Terri muttered to herself.

"Terri, I'm sorry if I came between you and Jimmy. I didn't mean to.
Honestly," said Ashley.
"Then why did you?" Terri asked.
"I made a nice comment about Jimmy and he took it as something different. I
just randomly took his name."
"How do I know you're telling the truth?"
"Because you are one of my best friends Terri. I would never lie to you."
"Do you really mean that?"
"No, I was just joking. Of course, I mean it, silly!"
"Thanks, I forgive you." Terri and Ashley hug.
"This is so sweet," said Paige.
"Two friends making up again!" said Hazel.
"Now I have to talk to Jimmy. Excuse me," said Terri.
She got up to go to Jimmy.
