DAMON

I can't believe I saw her again. Jessica Wakefield, and Jeremy. Well if you take out Jeremy's name and put mine there then that would be good. I really want her back. I missed her so bad. Of course Lacey is taking me as her own personal property.

I could hear all of my friends in the background arguing about the 1 Grand that Brian had promised to Conner McDermott, that we didn't have.

The lunch bell rang and everybody got up to leave the cafeteria.

We all walked out of the lunchroom and headed down the hallway, I saw Jeremy talking to Jessica quietly, and Jessica kept on turning her head away or looking at the ground.

"Damon, if you don't hurry up now, we'll say it's your fault we're late," Salvador said.

"C'mon Ross," Brian said walking up from behind me and pushing my back until I started moving myself. I didn't notice until after I was already walking that I had just stopped in the hallway and stared at Jess with Jeremy.

Salvador walked up next to me, "Believe me man, I know what you're going through," he said just as we passed by Conner and Elizabeth who were walking in the opposite direction, "Believe me I do." He sighed as he watched Elizabeth walk away until she rounded a corner.

All during my next class I continued thinking about Jessica, I would always look out the window thinking I would see her at track practice, but I remembered that she wasn't hanging out with the same crowd she used to anymore. We used to all be on the track team together, Jessica, Bethel, and me. But now she was a cheerleader. The bell rang and everyone got up to leave class.

"Hey Wakefield, will you do a little rah-rah for me at the pep rally tonight," one of the guys from my class asked as Jessica passed by and he slapped her on the butt.

"Watch it hammerhead, or I'll let the whole school know about your undying love for the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears.

"You wouldn't," he said.

"Oh I would, I have evidence, oh and I'll also make sure that they know about what went on last week with you and Miss Pearson, our student teacher." Jessica said giving him a wicked smile.

"Slut," He said.

"Dirt-bag," Jessica said and walked off, heading in my direction.

"Oh, hey Damon," she said, smiling at me awkwardly.

"Hey," I said.

Jessica smiled at me and then turned to head to her next class.

I hurried along and fell into step beside her.

"So what was all that school slut crap about?" I asked.

"Just some jock immature jerks, that guy was Aaron Dallas," Jessica said.

"Oh," I said. I could help but turn and look at her.

Jessica could feel me staring and turned to look at me, "What?" she asked with a small laugh.

"Nothing, its just...really great to see you,"

Jessica smiled at me and stood on her tiptoes and gave me a peck on the cheek.

"I have to go, but I'll see you later," Jessica said smiling at me and then walking off.

"Hey Damon!" Blue exclaimed jogging over to me after school was over for the day.

"What?" I asked.

"Well the War of the Bands is coming up, and we need to start rehearsing, maybe right a new song or something,"

"How about we sing Oreo Eyes?" I suggested.

"Can you go one second without thinking about Jessica! Please that's all I'm asking, one second!" Blue cried out.

"Okay, sorry, we could do a new song, but last time we let Sal right a song he wrote Granny Knows How To Cha-Cha, and even though some people liked it, I don't think the people at the War of the Bands would," I said.

"Then we'll right it, the 2 Amigos!" Blue said putting his arm over my shoulder.

I put my hand over his arm and brought it back down towards his side.

"Please don't do that again,"
