JESSICA

"Hey Jess," Jeremy said coming over to me, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Hi," I said.

Liz glanced over at me and then turned back to Anna and Salvador.

"So do you want to just forget about the fight we had last night?" Jeremy asked me.

"Oh, um, yeah, sure." I said.

"Okay good," he said slipping his arm around my waist as we walked up the school steps.

As we entered the school I checked through the hallway looking for his face, I couldn't see it anywhere.

Where's Damon? I thought to myself, and then cursed at myself for thinking so much about an ex-boyfriend in front of my boyfriend.

"Jess!" I heard someone calling after me as I stood outside the school in the courtyard during lunch.

I turned around and saw Damon jogging towards me.

I could feel myself smiling.

"Hi, what's the hurry?" I asked.

"No rush, I just wanted to see you before lunch was over,"

"Well here I am," I said striking a pose.

Damon laughed.

"Hey, you remember my sisters right?" He asked.

"Kaia and Sally? Yeah, of course I remember them," I said.

"Well I was wondering if you could watch them after school for me, I know it might seem weird but I have to go to Blue's because the band is rehearsing and-"

"No problem!" I said, cutting him off.

"Really?"

"Really, it'll be no problem," I said with a smile.

"Thanks Jess, I really appreciate it," Damon said grinning at me.

"Nothing on it,"

Just then the bell rang and everybody started jogging off of the courtyard and back into the school building.

"Well I guess we better get to class," Damon said stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah I guess so,"

"I could walk you to your next class if you wanted..." Damon said.

I smiled and then glanced over and saw Jeremy standing by a palm tree waiting for me.

"Actually, I promised Jeremy that I'd walk to class with him so," I said quietly.

"Oh yeah, of course, I'll uh, see you after school at my house right?" Damon asked.

"Right, do you guys still live in Ben's house?" I asked.

Damon nodded.

"Okay, see you then," I said with a smile and jogged over to Jeremy.

"Why were talking with Damon?" Jeremy asked.

"I'm baby-sitting his little sisters tonight, he was just confirming," I said.

Jeremy nodded and took my hand and we walked up the school steps.

I glanced behind my shoulder to see if I could see Damon.

He was jogging across the courtyard to the other school entrance on the other side of the courtyard.

I really couldn't wait for school to end.
