A/n: Writers block is killing me. I don't know what to do. Ideas are WELCOME! Please. I'm begging for help. This chappie will have a change in POV Btw.


I held the bowling ball in my hand, concentrating on the pins at the end of the lane. Ok, yeah. I didn't know how to bowl especially well but it was fun to pretend. I took a few steps, swung the ball back, and then felt two hands on my back. I was pushed forward. Slipping on the lane I let the ball go and tried to catch my balance. Which didn't work. I reached up grasping only air as I slid.

"good job Nikki. You got a strike." Jason was bent over, hands on his knees laughing. I growled trying to get back on my feet. I finally stood, but slipped again this time catching myself on Jason's arm and dragging him down with me. I couldn't help it. I started laughing.

"your turn." I looked over at him. A few people were staring at us. We're used to it. Jason shook his head and helped me off the lane. Bowling had been a good idea. I walked back to the table to watch Jason. We were putting up with so much lately. True it would have been better if Dylan was here, but I didn't mind spending time alone with Jason. Wait, did I just think that? Bad thoughts, Nikki, bad thoughts. Jason is your friend. He threw the ball and smirked as it curved towards the pins and then walked back towards me. I grinned.

"gutter ball." I said. He spun around and looked at the board. Zero. I laughed.

"great job Jas." he just rolled his eyes.

"why don't we go home? Its getting late." he said. He was right. It was already 9:30. Well not that late but it had been a long day for us. I took off my shoes and took them up to the counter.

"I have come to a conclusion." I laughed as we walked out of the bowling alley.

"and what would that be?" Jason asked.

"next time, we play laser tag."

"that's a great idea."

"really, your a terrible bowler." he pretended to glare at me.

"When are your grandparents leaving?" I shrugged.

"Friday I think." We neared the school. Coming around the corner I noticed Bryan.

"Great." I heard Jason mutter. I took a step closer to him, as we continued to walk. He glanced at me from the corner of his eye. He was planning something. 14 years of friendship had proven that. He was always planning something. Bryan's face lit up when he seen me. Of course. He started walking towards me.

"Hey angel!" he waved. I scowled.

"what do you want?" I asked coldly.

"how would you like to go see a movie with me tomorrow?" he asked. I seen Jason smirk.

"she can't." he said. Bryan glared at him.

"and just why not?" he asked. I smiled, silently cheering to myself.

"because she's going out with me tomorrow." I almost tripped over my own feet. What! When did I agree to that? Because I don't remember that. I tried not to let Bryan see my surprised face. He coughed.

"I don't think her boyfriend would appreciate that." he said. Obviously he wasn't expecting Jason to say that I was going out with him tomorrow. Oi. Him and his stories.

"Oh I don't mind at all." Jason shot back. Ha! Take that Bryan. Wait. What! I glanced at him. He had a satisfied look on his face.

"Nicole?" I looked over at him.

"Angel you're dating that loser?" I didn't reply. I just smiled and wrapped my arm around Jason's waist.

"later Bryan. We have to go study." Jason waved. He put his free arm around me and glanced back at Bryan who had stopped dead in his tracks. His mouth was hanging open as he watched us walk off. We continued to walk for a few minutes when I pulled my arm away from him.

"And when did I agree to go out with you tomorrow?" I asked.

"the same time you agreed to date me." he smiled. I rolled my eyes.

"by tomorrow the whole school will think we're dating. You know Bryan can't keep his mouth shut." I looked down. His arm was still around me. He noticed at the same time I did. I blushed a little. What was with me lately? Me and Jas had been friends forever. We walked into the school. Just as we did, Jason's cell phone rang.

"Hello? Yeah. We're just getting home from bowling." He shrugged.

"we needed a little fun. No problem. I'll talk to you later. Mmhmm. Bye." I glanced at him.

"that was dad. He stopped by the factory. Dylan's gonna go to school on Tuesday. Jer and Aelita are calling him off for 'family' reasons." he said answering the unasked question. I nodded.

"More like 'xana' reasons." I muttered. He laughed a little.

"boy are we gonna have some good stories when this is over." he sighed. We neared my room and I switched my backpack onto my other shoulder, and dug in my pocket for my key.

"I'd rather not have any thank you." Jas shook his head as I tried my other pocket. He became impatient with me.

"You put it in your back pocket." I grinned.

"oh yeah." after finally getting my door open, we went in.

"so," he started. "are we gonna attempt this studying thing again? Or just blow it off?" he asked. I dropped my bag onto the ground.

"uhm, I say blow it off and play cards, but my science grades say study." He pulled out his notes.

"study it is." I smiled. Of course. Why have fun when you could waste your life on science notes? We spent the next 2 hours quizzing each other and reading over notes. Around 11:30, my cell phone rang.

"Nicole, get to the factory, we have trouble." It was Jeremy.

"what's going on?"

"Xana's activated at tower, is Jason with you?"

"yeah, we're on our way." I hung up and looked up at Jason.

"Fun time." we bolted out the door, sneaking off the campus unnoticed and headed for the park.
