Um, is anybody still reviewing? I feel really bad, like as if I typed a really bad chapter or something…..is that really the reason anybody stopped reviewing? Well, I'm still stressed out by school! (See the review button? Click on it…..because I really need reviews and see what you all think!) Things may seem a little bad between Alex and Bradin…….

Bradin was just staring into space, thinking how close he was to kissing the girl he had a "little" crush on.

"Okay, dude…….what just happened between you and Jazzy?" Tyler asked, shocked. Bradin broke out from his thoughts, and replied, "I wanted to kiss her so badly, and she was really close……you can't blame me now could you?" Tyler just rolled his eyes. "You know she has a boyfriend. And Alex can be EXTREMLY protective of Jasmine. I saw you touch her when Alex did!"

Bradin just replied, "I don't care. I really like her!" "But you just met her today. How can you like her already?" Michelle asked. Bradin just smiled. "Ever heard of love at first sight?"

Tyler and Michelle pondered this for a little bit. "Okay, I'm going to help you." Michelle said, breaking the silence. "Help me on what?" "Winning Jasmine's heart." Bradin was surprised. "Isn't Alex your friend? And why are you going to help me?" Michelle just grinned.

"Well, I don't have anything against Alex and Jasmine dating, but I truthfully think you can make Jasmine happier than Alex can. And both of you seem like a great couple. I just want to help you because you really seem to be desperate and willing to do anything to have her. It looks like you love her."

Bradin looked shocked. Especially about the last thing that Michelle said. But he wasn't really sure that it was a lie……..

Tyler suddenly looked up. "I'll help too." Bradin smiled. Two people helping him win a girl's heart may not seem as hard as it seems. But with a jealous boyfriend standing in the way, scratch out that thought.

The door to the kitchen opened, and Rebecca's head peeped out. "Hey you guys. Whats with the serious faces? Seems like your talking about something special! Anyways, you wanna go to the kitchen and play a game or something?"

Bradin, Tyler, and Michelle looked at each other, and shrugged. "I guess so." Tyler replied, as they made their way to the kitchen.

"We'll talk about this later?" Michelle whispered, so that Rebecca won't hear. The two boys nodded their heads, as they entered through the white kitchen door.

The kitchen looked really neat, and was huge. Everything in the kitchen was colored white and gold, too.

All of them sat at a white table, where Alex and Jasmine were sitting and talking already. Alex's eyes immediately flashed to Bradin as he sat down, glaring at him with pure hatred and anger. Bradin stared back, giving the same venomous look to him.

The rest of the group stared at the two angry boys, wondering what will happen next. Everybody was in an awkward silence, not really knowing what to say.

"Um, so………you guys want to talk and tell each other stuff, since we barely know anything about each other?" Michelle asked nervously. Everybody nodded their heads. Alex stared away, and so did Bradin. His eyes soon fell on Jasmine. I wish I could kiss you, without having somebody or something stopping us. Bradin thought in his head, fighting the urge to blab out those words and grab her hand. He broke away his stare at the girl sitting in front of him, and asked, "So, what was your label back at……?"

"Florida. And I was Rebecca Michaels, labeled co-captain of the cheerleading squad. Pretty boring if you ask me." Rebecca said, staring at a flower vase beside her.

"Tyler Tremaine, hot class clown." Tyler gave a James Bond type of smile to Bradin, but Michelle scoffed, and gave him a shove on the arm. "Yeah, right. Every girl hated you in the whole grade, and even threw spit balls at you when you tried to flirt with them!" Tyler grimaced at that thought.

"Oh yeah. Michelle Rosen and labeled teacher's pet." "And a smartass," Tyler mumbled, receiving a jab in the ribs by Michelle.

"Alex Thompson, hottie of the school." Alex replied, not even looking at Bradin in the eyes. Everybody looked at Jasmine, who was asleep on the table, with her head rested on her arms.

"That's Jasmine Rosen, perfect girl of the school, captain of the cheerleading squad. She has dated almost every guy in the whole school, other than the fact that she's every guy's dream, too. Won awards, homecoming queen, most popular, and all the fluff. She can be a LITTLE spacey, dreams a lot, and falls asleep pretty easily." Rebecca gestured towards her sleeping friend, giving her a slap on her back, which woke her up immediately.

"Huh? Wha-what? Where am I?" Jasmine gasped, looking around and rubbing her eyes. "Oh. Sorry I fell asleep. What were we talking about?"

Alex smiled, and replied, "Nothing sweetie," and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Bradin started fuming, and you could see his hand turn into a fist even under the table. "Oh oh..." Rebecca muttered, as everybody was staring at the three people. I swear I'm going to

kick that jackass on where it hurts! Bradin thought angrily, as he got his foot ready to get into action, but felt a kick on his leg under the table. He looked down and saw it was Michelle.

Don't do it Bradin! Michelle mouthed to him. He sighed and grumbled something. "Um, sorry you guys, but I gotta go. My aunt could think I've been kidnapped and sent to Japan! Bye." Bradin got up from his seat and walked out of the kitchen and out the front door.

Jasmine looked curiously at the empty seat at the table, and got up and followed Bradin. "Bradin blew up." Tyler whispered to Michelle. "Ya think?" she hissed back.

Bradin walked through the front door, without stopping, and stepped onto the porch. I HATE ALEX! I swear if Michelle didn't stop me, he could've gotten a bloody nose by now! Bradin mumbled in his head. "Bradin! Wait!"

He whirled around, and saw Jasmine standing in front of him. "Look, you don't really have to go. Please don't." she begged. He blushed, for that they were really close to touching each other. "I'm sorry, I really do have to go. My aunt must be pretty worried by now." He regretted saying this to her. He truly wanted to stay with her.

She looked really disappointed. "Oh. Its okay….." she trailed off, but Bradin placed his hand on her shoulder, making her flinch. "Hey, here's my number and address. Maybe you can call me and visit sometimes." He handed her a piece of paper. She took it, and smiled. "Yeah, here's mine, too," as she handed a paper to him.

She looked up into his eyes, and almost got lost in them. Wow, his eyes are gorgeous! He is pretty sweet……

"Well, I've got to go. Bye Jasmine." Bradin waved to her and left, before she got a chance to say anything to him.
