Chapter 8: Girlfriend
It was the day of the dance and a lot of people still hadn't found dates, but they had the whole day until the dance was to start. So far the only people going with another person was JT and Manny, Paige and Spinner, Hazel and Marco only because Dylan was visiting colleges that weekend and Hazel asked Marco to go with her since she didn't want to go alone, and Toby and Kendra.
"You two," Paige headed towards Ashley as she dragged Jimmy with her and Spinner followed, "Me and Spin decided that since we get to choose your little rendezvous," As Paige said this Jimmy turned to Ashley with an unsure look on his face, "We decided you two will be going to the dance, together."
"that's final too...Paige said so..." Spinner added. Hazel sat at the front and watched what Paige was trying to do and she rolled her eyes.
"I'm cool with it." Jimmy shrugged.
"Whatever." Ashley also shrugged.
"Whatever you guys, you know deep down in your little bitty souls that you're screaming to thank me... oh and Paige, for this..." Spinner gazed into the air as if he accomplished a great goal, "You're welcome you guys." He put his hands on both Jimmy and Ashley and took a moment to sigh, and then went to his seat. Paige rolled her eyes and sat next to Hazel in the front.
"What are you trying to do?" Hazel whispered, with somewhat of an attitude. Paige turned to Hazel, "What's the matter?"
"You trying to hook up Jimmy with 'her'." Hazel rolled her eyes.
"Her? She is our friend.... And she has a name." Paige turned to make sure that no one was listening to them, "If I didn't hear clearly, hun, you broke up with Jimmy... I'm not doing anything, but speeding up the process that fate has for those two..." Paige leaned back in her chair.

The bell rang and Emma rushed out to get to her locker. Before she closed her locker she glanced to her left and saw Sean walking away. She closed her locker and hurried after him.
"Sean!" She shouted and he turned looking at her confusedly.
He stood there having not said a word, looking at Emma waiting for her to say whatever she wanted to say.
"Um." Emma forgot what she was going to say, "Do you want to go to the dance with me?" She blurted.
He stood in hesitation and paused for a moment, "the dance?" he stared at her thinking she didn't mean to ask that.
"Yeah."
He looked away for a moment and then looked back at Emma confused, "If you think all I do is make things complicated, then why would you wanna waste your time?" He asked annoyed.
She rolled her eyes, "I'm trying to--" She stopped, "Maybe I don't care about that."
"You don't know what you're saying." He stated confidently.
"You don't either." She pointed out.
"Well, you don't know what you're getting yourself into." He tried to win this conversation.
She smirked, "Actually, I do." There was an awkward silence. He couldn't answer, giving Emma the higher hand in this conversation, "I know what I'm getting myself into, and I don't even know why I'm doing this." She started, "If you don't care than forget it."
He looked at her, "I care." He paused, "But I don't get why you're doing this either."
She tried not to smile, "so yes?"
"yea."
"One condition though." She stopped him from walking away, and he paid attention, "You have to be yourself." Their eyes met.
He looked away, "Fine." He walked away.

Hazel walked up to Jimmy, "Hey." They hadn't really spoken since the break up a few days ago.
"Sup..." He looked at her, "So how's it going?"
She nodded, "Good." She felt uncomfortable, "I don't want any tension between us."
"Who said there was?" He pointed out.
"No one... its just Ashley's my friend and I'm your ex." She said without thinking.
He chuckled, "She's my ex too."
"What's that suppose to mean?" She asked angrily. He looked at her confused.
"That she's also my ex-girlfriend." He said calmly.
"I know that." She said with an attitude.
"Ok?"
"What's up with that anyway... you don't have to go to the dance with Ashley just because Paige and Spinner want you to..." She tried to point out.
Jimmy smiled, he was also annoyed at the moment, "I know that." He started, "But you know, Hazel, if its gonna bug you, then tell me and I wont go." He looked her straight in the eye.
"Why would it bug me?"
"I don't know... that's why you came here to talk to me isn't it? Cause you keep leaning into the whole Ashley thing and I'm starting to think its buggin you...no... I know this be buggin you..." he tried to be as nice as he could, "Me and Ash are just friends..." He paused, "But I mean, if something happens then it happens... if not, then not..." He tried to end the conversation.
Hazel hesitated to speak, "Well... it does bug me..." She said this sincerely.
