"Why do I let you talk me into these things?" Evan moaned as he and
Conner sat at the Shack. "I want Jade, not some random hottie."
Conner stared at him like he was speaking Martian. "The only way to get
over a girl is to go out and find a gorgeous chick to have a one day
fling with. It makes you see that having a relationship is stupid and
that if there are so many girls, why not date them all?"
Evan stared at Conner amused. "Promise me one thing man, never write a
dating guide. If you told real people your theories, this world would
fall apart. And is this what you really did to get over Liz? Your
rebound girl isn't as hot as Liz is and you spent more than one day with
her."
Conner glared at Evan. "We don't talk about Alanna."
Evan sighed. Conner did realize that his friends didn't like her much,
but he still didn't like it when they made fun of her.
"Hey Evan," Monica drawled as she sat down next to Evan. Stephanie sat
by Conner. They had just gone to the bathroom. They made Evan nervous.
They were hot though. He just couldn't get a connection with them.
"There was, like, this girl in the bathroom," Stephanie giggled, putting
her arm around Conner. "She wasn't, like, wearing any makeup!"
"Yeah," Monica snickered. "Doesn't she know that no normal girl over the
age of twelve wouldn't dare be caught in public without some on!"
Evan couldn't stand shallow conversations like this. And he hated
giggling. He shot Conner a death glare.
"Hey, Steph, wanna dance," Conner said smiling at her. She nodded and
they got up leaving Monica and Evan alone. Evan vowed that the next time
he and Conner were alone, he would force him to eat dirt, or smash his
guitar.
"Uh, so, Monica," Evan stammered. "What do you like to do for fun?"
"Dance, shop, and party!" Monica said giggling.
"Uh, that's nice." Suddenly Evan's eyes were drawn to the door where
Jade was entering with Justin Meyer. And she was holding his hand.
Suddenly Evan felt angry and grabbed Monica's hand. "Hey, let's dance,"
he said.
"I thought you'd never ask," she said getting up. She led him to the
dance floor and started gyrating around him to the music. Evan noticed
that Jade was trying hard not to crack up.
Evan grabbed Monica and pulled her close.
Watch out, Jade! Two can play that game!

I can't believe what a jerk Evan Plummer is. He was out with some girl
only two days after we broke up. I know I'm with Justin, but I am the
abused party, not him. He should be begging me to come back to him.
I miss him and think I made a mistake.
I want him back.
But what do I do?

Jade walked into Andy's house. His mother had let her in, even though
she didn't know her. She had decided to talk to Andy because he knew
Evan pretty well and would probably give her the best advice of all his
friends.
"Hey, Jade," Andy said surprised as he looked up from his Gameboy.
"What brings you here?"
"Evan," she stated simply.
"Yeah, I heard what happened. I'm sorry. You guys seemed happy
together."
"We weren't. I think Evan spends too much time with his friends. He
doesn't care about me."
"He does," Andy said grinning. "But if you're so mad at him, why are
you here?"
I want him back," Jade said simply.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Talk to him. Tell him he should pay more attention to me and that I'm
ready to make up.
"Andy burst out laughing. "You're serious, right?" Jade glared at him
and he straightened up. "Jade, it isn't me place to tell him. You need to
tell him."
"But he's already move on!" Jade protested. "He and Conner were out
with these two sluts."
"Maybe it was Conner's idea. He did the same thing when I broke up with
Six."
"He was dancing with her!"
"So, he was just dancing. That's not a marriage proposal!"
Jade flopped next to him. "Am I not pretty enough?"
"You're...nice looking," Andy supplied. "And Evan really likes you.
"I thought I did too."
"He still cares about you, Jade. Maybe you both need to cool down for a
few days and then talk."
Jade smiled at him. "Maybe you should become a advice columnist and
help people with their love lives."
"Yeah, right," he laughed. "I don't have much luck in that
department."
"I thought things with Dave were going good," Jade asked surprised.
"he doesn't want to date until his dad is comfortable with the whole
gay thing which isn't going to happen. Plus he's always real nervous and
stuff."
"It takes time," Jade said. "It's a new thing for both of you."
"Yeah," Andy sighed. "Sometimes I wish I was like everyone else, you
know."
"You can't help who you are." Jade smiled at him and he smiled back.
"Thanks Andy. You listen and you calmed me down." She leaned over and
gave him a hug and then stared in his eyes. Suddenly she wanted to hurt
Evan like he had hurt her tonight. And Andy was frustrated with Dave.
They leaned in and kissed each other awkwardly. Andy wasn't as good of a
kisser as Evan but it felt nice. Andy's hands moved down to her waist
and slipped under her shirt. As they traveled up farther Jade heard a
gasp from behind her. Andy quickly pulled away and Jade whirled around and
saw Dave and Evan staring at them in horror.
