Author's Note: This chapter might not follow a part of the movie, so don't criticize me for it. You might notice when you read it, but I'm not sure if it happened or didn't…

"So you saw them hanging out," Brianna asked Joe. "They were walking to school together?"

"Yup," Joe nodded.

"I don't like this, guys," Brian said. "He can date whoever he wants. It's not like he'll change his mind about her anyway. He likes her and we can all see that."

"He stopped liking her before," Joe muttered.

"Yeah," Brian tilted his head, "BUT – that was only because we were pressuring him. I mean, he's our friend and this isn't how friends treat each other."

Brianna sarcastically yawned. "That was a nice speech, I have no idea who you were talking to though." Brian threw his hands up in retaliation. "So anyway, Joe, we should make Pete find the good in someone else."

"Who's that 'someone else'," Joe asked. "You?" He started laughing. She put her hands on her hips to show that it wasn't a joking matter. Joe stopped laughing, "Oops. Right, right… it's all you girl."

"Your clothes look a little baggy on you," Paul said as he looked at Jenny's outfit. "Maybe you need a smaller size?"

"Um, our washing machine is jacked up and instead of shrinking clothes, it, um, it makes them bigger," she lied. The truth was that she was wearing the smallest size.

"Oh." He said.

"Why didn't you just hand wash your clothes?" Her grandma, who had been listening to their conversation, suggested.

"Well, I'll try to remember that next time."

As her grandma was heading to the kitchen she said, "Jen, help me with some of my knitting? I'm going to make your sister an outfit."

"Sure," she beamed.

"Jen, I'm going over next door," Paul called as he left the house.

"Maybe you should buy her something," Paul suggested to Pete.

"Trust me, you can't buy love. Didn't you ever hear that song?"

"True," Paul agreed, "Well I can already tell that Jenny likes you. It's pretty obvious."

"It is?"

"Well, it is to me. Maybe because she told me that she likes you."

"Paul," Pete asked. "Don't be surprised if I ever tell you a secret. I don't want it to be out in the open."

"I can keep a secret," Paul objected. Pete folded his arms and raised an eyebrow, "Alright, but at least I'm helping you!"

"What's up," Pete asked as Chris and Michelle entered the kitchen with looks of worry on their faces. They closed the kitchen door behind them. "Or not…" They heard a knock on the door.

"Don't get it," Michelle yelled in a tone that told them she was serious. She walked into the living room and opened the door herself, it was Jenny. Michelle let out a sigh of relief. "Hi Jennifer -- the boys are watching TV, come in." Michelle moved aside so that Jenny could enter. Michelle closed the door and went back into the kitchen so she and Chris can talk in private.

"Hey guys," she smiled taking a seat on the floor between the two. "What's going on?" She nodded towards the kitchen.

"No idea," Pete told her.

"I know," Paul quickly finished his drink and put the glass to the door. He put his hear closer so he can hear the conversation.

Unfortunately, Chris knew what the kids were doing and banged on the door. Paul quickly went back to his seat. "NO EAVESDROPPING, PETE!"

Pete mouthed 'WHAT' and threw his hands in the air. He then shot a glare towards Paul who was too busy laughing with Jenny to notice.

The three teens turned their heads toward the door as they heard more footsteps. Michelle had heard them too because the kitchen door opened and she went towards the door to open it. In walked Deni and Ray but, before they were able to ask questions, they were led into the kitchen too. Michelle closed the door but a crack was left open.

Pete, Jenny, and Paul moved in closer to hear the conversation. Pete put his hand up to let them know to stay quiet.

"I thought he died or something," Deni said, putting her arms around Chris' shoulders.

Chris shook his head, "Nope."

"You alright, though," Ray asked.

"Yeah. It's just I can't believe that Jay's back."

Author's Note: Alright, things are moving along. I had better get five reviews before I post the next chapter. I have it ready made.
