"Wow Jen," Paul gasped. "I think that was the meanest thing I've ever heard you say, and that's saying something…" He started to walk outside.

"Where are you going," Jenny exclaimed.

"Well, he's going to get into trouble if he's not here when and if your parents come down. Might as well save him some trouble. From what I hear, he's not exactly teacher's pet."

"Wait," Jenny interrupted. She walked in front of him. "I should get him. Tell my parents I'm… out. Alright?"

"Alright." Paul said as she walked out the door to chase after Pete. He then smiled to himself, "Always works."

"Pete," Jenny started to chase after him, but he wouldn't turn back to face her. She grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. "Alright, I'm sorry for saying that thing about your dad."

"Forget it," Pete hissed, yanking his shoulder out of her grip. "You wouldn't understand anyway. You live in your perfect house with your perfect parents who love you and trust you! Your dad didn't walk out on you when you were little, saying that he'd be back , th-that he was going to buy you an airplane from the store. You didn't spend each and every day for the past eight years coming home and asking your moms if he came home. I promised myself everyday that I wouldn't grow up to be like him. But, according to you, I broke that promise, didn't I?" At this point, he was already crying.

"I'm sorry," she whispered. He'd just poured out is innermost thoughts to her and she had no clue of what else to say.

"Yeah well sorry won't bring him back." He started to walk again, but quickly turned around. "You know, you get so mad that your parents are all over the baby. At least you still have both of them."

"Listen," she said. "The reason they're so worked up about the baby is because… it's the first time my mom is going to give birth."

He looked at her and raised an eyebrow, "But- I thought you were-"

She already knew what he was going to say, he thought that she was their first born. "My real parents left me when I was a baby. They couldn't take care of me, they didn't want to take me in. To me I was just a mistake, they were pretty much into their drugs to be responsible for a baby. So my foster parents tried to have kids. Things, well they didn't work out and they ended up adopting me. But now my mom finally got pregnant and they're having their 'miracle' child." She forced a smile, "So much for my secret. Now we're even, huh?"

He swallowed. "Paul doesn't know?" She shook her head.

"So you better keep this secret. Speaking of Paul, if you're not going to come back to the house, I should get back. I might get myself into some trouble. And, I'm really sorry for saying what I said. It was wrong."

"Yeah well," he smiled, wiping away his tears. "I'm sorry for acting like a jerk, just cause I was scared of losing my friends."

"It's alright," she smiled.

"So we cool?"

"Yup."

"Jesus guys," Paul said as the three were walking home from school. "You're killing me, what made you two soften up that night?" Paul was walking backwards in front of them so he can face them.

"Just mind your neck," Jenny smiled, "OK? How was your first day of school."

"It was alright, ouch," he cringed as he bumped into a pole. Pete and Jenny started laughing.

"When are your parents coming," Pete asked.

"Sometime this week, I think." Paul guessed, "I'm not sure."

"So you're living in Mrs. Newton's old house right," Pete asked. Paul nodded. Mrs. Newton was an old lady in her early seventies. She lived on the same block as Pete and Jenny and was selling her house to move in with her son.

"Well, look who it is," Jenny said as she noticed Joe walking towards her.

"Hey Jenny," Joe said taking her hand in his and kissing it. "Want to go out sometime."

She tried to hide her laughter, "I'll think about it and give you my answer at the end of the week." Pete glared at Joe but Joe smiled evilly towards him. Paul looked at the three, totally confused at the situation.

"Well I'll see you in school tomorrow alright, girl," Joe asked Jenny.

"We have no classes whatsoever together," Jenny declared.

Paul laughed, "That rhymed!" They all looked over at him. "I'm just saying. Damn."

"Bye," Joe said, quickening his pace to get to school. As he left, she wiped her hand on her jeans, grossed out.

"My best friend is growing up," Paul teased, "Seeing all these boys all over you, Jen. What will your parents say?" He put a hand to his face pretending to be shocked. "You going out with that guy?"

"Joe?!" She exclaimed, "No…" Pete loosened up at her response. There's someone else I have in mind – she thought to herself.

"Why don't you two go out," Paul asked pointing to them. "You obviously like each other." Pete and Jenny blushed as they turned and caught each other looking.
