"Go, go, go," Pete whispered to his friends. They waited behind Jenny's house as they watched her parents pulling out of the driveway.

Joe and Brian opened the box containing the electrical switches for her house.

"Turn off everything," Brian asked and looked over at Pete.

"Yeah," Pete nodded.

"Are you sure," Joe asked before Brian turned off the switch. "Because she might be really scared in there and-"

"SHH!"

"Hello," Jenny asked, walking outside. She leaned over the railing to see if anyone was behind her house. "Mom, dad?"

"You fucking retard," Pete yelled at Joe, hitting him with every word. They moved farther so they wouldn't be seen.

"Joe, never again," Marty mumbled.

Jenny noticed the electrical box was opened and put on her shoes to walk to her side door. "Why is this…" She quickly turned around as she heard the bushes rattling. "Alright, this isn't funny. Who ever is hiding get out now before I call the police."

"Now what are we going to do," Brian asked, he turned and glared at Joe.

"I guess we have to do this on another night," Pete said reluctantly and started crawling over to his house. "At least we have classes with her, right?"

"Man, JOE! I have no idea why we bother hanging out with you!"

"Alright calm down," Joe yelled back. They made their way back to Pete's house where they were met by a not-so-happy looking Uncle Chris.

"Um, hi," Pete asked.

Chris turned to Joe, Marty, and Brian. "I think you kids should go home."

"See you around Pete," Marty and Brian said.

"If he's still alive," Joe mumbled. Marty and Brian pushed him.

Pete smiled but his smiled slowly faded as he turned to see his uncle's face. "I'm going to my room." He pointed upstairs.

"I don't think so," Chris crossed his arms, "What were you doing in Jenny's yard with your stupid friends? Trying to scare her, huh?"

"Don't you have a life," Pete asked. "Why are you always up in my business?!"

"Because your business always has something you'll regret in it. You never think Pete that's why I have to watch you. What's up with the two of you? A couple of days ago you were falling for her and now-"

"Listen I don't want to talk about it alright," Pete shot. "God damn." He ran upstairs to his room. Chris closed his eyes as he heard the door slam and sat down on the couch.

He heard the key hole turn, "Hi Chris."

"How was work, Michelle," Chris asked.

"Alright," Michelle tilted her head. "Where's my son?"

"In his room, long story. Don't feel like explaining, but it has something to do with your neighbors."

"Aw, I know he likes Jenny, right?"

"I think they're fighting. I know it has something to do with his friends. I know they don't like her."

"Ah, I see," Michelle nodded. "Well thanks for taking care of it, for now at least."

As soon as her parents came home that evening they saw Jenny on the porch swing laying down. Her mom kissed her forehead as her dad sat on the swing with her.

"How's school," he asked.

"Good," she said, sitting up. He looked worried so she plastered on a fake smile. "I'm passing all of my classes."

"That's good," he smiled. "What about your gymnastics?"

"OK." She turned her head away. "The coach is strict."

"That's good though. Then you learn."

"Oh really," she asked sarcastically.

"Yes really," he responded, being just as dramatic as she was. He got up and pulled her off the swing, "Come on, you have school tomorrow."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We need to talk," Jenny said to Pete. He ignored her and started looking for his friends in the hallway.

"No, we don't." He shoved her aside.

"What is your problem," she asked him another question. "Your head is bigger than usual." He looked at her and started walking again.

"Oh really," he asked. "Feels the same to me." She stood in front of him and crossed her arms. He laughed, knowing she wouldn't move. "You know the truth?"

She put in sarcastically, "NO, that's only what I've been wasting my time asking you for the past five minutes…"

"Well I guess you're going to have to find out some other way." He moved passed her again, glaring at her as he moved in front of her.

"Step on the scale," Alexis told Jenny. She nodded, surprisingly. "Jen, you just need to lose three more pounds. That's good, good job."

Jenny smiled in relief. Things were getting just a little better. She went into her locker. She made sure the coast was clear and took out the container of diet pills she had bought from one of her teammates. They worked well because they served as energy as well as helping her to lose weight. She walked out and started practicing on the uneven bars. At first they looked like they were moving but she shook her head.

"Jen you alright," she heard her coach yell from the scale.

"Y-yeah," she nodded. And started her routine.
