AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thanks for all them reviews. I'm sorry that I didn't update in a while. I have two sisters and they need the computer too. I'll try to post the next chapter as quick as possible.


"Joe how stupid can you get," Pete asked.He's probably going to answer too - Pete thought. The three friends were still bummed about how their plan backfired the other night. All because of Joe.

"I know really," Marty chimed in. "You're mad dumb, Joe."

Joe rolled his eyes. "Alright let it go. I made a mistake-"

"A mistake," Pete repeated. "Try many…"

"I wouldn't be talking Pete," Joe said. "You just hurt a girl that didn't do anything."

Marty kept on walking faster than the other two, he knew they were going to fight and didn't want to be part of it.

"Oh really," Pete asked. "I thought you didn't like her either. You're the one who called her a loser."

"Well, she is pretty cool…"

"What? Wait, you like her?! Correct me if I'm wrong but you were the one baggin' on me whenever me and Jennydid so much astalked."

Joe smiled, "You know what? I think the only reason you're still mad is because you still like her."

"What did you say," Pete asked, moving closer.

"Did I stutter?"

"No but when I'm through with you, you won't even be able to talk."

"Whatever," Joe said, walking away. "See, the thing with you Pete- is that you're all talk but you're just too pussy to act on your word."

"Joe, I'm not the one walking away." Petecalled after him as he drifted further.

"Did you and Joe ever fight before," Marty asked, walking backto Pete's side as he saw thatJoe had left. "Man this is like Shaq and Kobe. Both of you guys will do damage. I don't want to be a part of this, man."

Pete understood. "That's straight. Hey, I'll catch you later?" They put their hands together and did their hand shake before they went in different directions.


"Jenny," her mom yelled. "Did you prepare the guest room?"

"Yes mother," Jenny groaned dramatically throwing herself on the couch. She had just finished cleaning the messiest room she had ever seen and was exhausted. Thing is, her grandmother was coming over. The baby was almost coming and they needed a helping hand around the house.

"Oh, stop acting like you worked hard," her mom smiled and patted her daughter on the back. Jenny gave her a crazed look. "I'm joking, I know you worked hard. Why don't you take a nap?" She looked over at her daughter and put a blanket over her as she was already taking a nap.

"Lola," Jenny smiled as her grandmother stood in the doorway of her house. (A/N- LOLA is grandma in Filipino)Her dad set down two of her suitcases.

"Jen, why don't you get Lola's other things," her dad asked.

"I have a present for you," her grandma smiled. From behind her, a boy, Jenny's age, came out.

"Paul," Jenny asked, peering closely. He slowly nodded as a smile crept onto his face. "Oh my gosh!" She ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"Paul's parents decided on moving here as well," her dad informed her. "When Paul heard that your Lola was coming, Paul's mom and dad gave him the go ahead. His parents will be arriving in a week and Paul will stay here for now."

"Come on," she said taking his hand and running outside. "Let's catch up."

"Don't forget your Lola's bags," her mom yelled after her.

"You, you got contacts," Jenny asked.

"Yup," he smiled.

She scanned him up and down. "You changed a lot during the last four years." Paul had grown out of his geeky image from glasses and braces. "You look nice."

"Thanks Jen. You too." The two looked around, uneasily. It's been a long time since the best friends had seen each other.

"Say something," she commanded.

"I can't." He laughed, "It's hard. I mean, we haven't seen each other in how long and-and now..."

"Yeah," she nodded in agreement.

"What brought you," he looked around at the neighborhood. "...Here anyway?"

"Sports," she responded. "Trust me, this isn't exactly a bed of roses for me. There's too much drama that's been happening in the little amount of time that I've been here."

"I'm sorry," he said, sympathetically.

"You didn't do anything so don't worry about it."

"Is there anything to do around here," he asked. "No offense."

She smiled, "None taken. Let's bring my grandma's stuff in and I show you around the best I can." She shrieked and threw her hands on him, "I'm glad to see you."

"Me too Jen," He smiled, returning the hug.
