Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters expect Marissa.
"I told you I don't want to talk to anyone," Marissa said Kevin and Jinx. "And no one could change my mind!" Marissa sank lower to the ground with each word and put her head between her legs.
"What about me?" Chia said after a while. Marissa had wondered how he ended up there. She raised her head to see if anyone else was there, it was just Chia.
"You promise not to tell Jinx?"
"As long as you tell her what you're going to tell me," Chia said.
"I guess."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"I think the only reason Jake is going out with me is to make Kevin jealous."
"I thought they were friends, why would he do that?"
"I think they were friends, until I came along. I ruined everything," Marissa cried.
"If their friendship can't stand you coming along, then they truly aren't friends."
"You think so?"
"I know so, believe me. It's happened to me many of times."
"Did you have a friend before Jinx?"
"Yep."
"Are you two still friends?"
"Yeah, but I don't know about you and Jinx. It seems to me that since Jake and Kevin came into your girls' life you girls haven't been hanging out a lot."
"That's true. But don't say we didn't try. We had a girl's slumber party, but Jake and Kevin ruined it."
"I heard about that, the thing at the mall. Jake is a jerk. What if I make it up to you?"
"How?"
"I'll lie off of Jinx for the next week or so, so you can get reacquainted with her. She told me that she had been missing you."
"She has?"
"Yep," Chia said as he helped Marissa up. "And if I were you, I would reconsider going out with Jake. Talk to him and see if that's the reason he's going out with you, if it is, dump him. And if it isn't stay with him, maybe he can change," Chia said as they entered the theater. Marissa noticed they were running a scene that she wasn't in, so she went over to talk to Jinx.
"Jinx, can I talk to you?"
"Sure, what's up?"
"I think the only reason Jake is going out with me is to make Kevin jealous." Marissa said in one breath.
"What?"
"It's true, I think he is."
"Whoa, did you tell Chia this?"
"Yep! And he told me he was going to lie off of you for a while so we could get reacquainted. What do you say?"
"I say… where have you been girlfriend?" Jinx said hugging Marissa.
"So I guess we're cool?"
"More than cool," Jinx said.
"Great, now I have to talk to Jake, oh great!"
"Have fun," Jinx said as Marissa walked away to find Jake. She found him talking to Kevin.
"So you're saying that you saved her?" Jake said.
"Yes, I did! How many times do I have to tell you that?"
"Do you still having feelings for her?" Jake said. Kevin paused as Marissa gasped.
"What was that?" Kevin asked, hearing Marissa. "Who's there?"
Marissa silenced herself, but then Chia walked past and said hi Marissa and disappeared.
"Marissa, is that you?" Jake said. Marissa came out from behind the curtain she was hiding behind.
"Yes."
"How long have you been back there?" Jake asked.
"Long enough," Marissa said. "Jake, we need to talk…"
"About what?"
"In private."
"What is it Marissa?" Jake yelled.
"About us okay?" Marissa cried.
"What about us?"
"It's over!" Marissa cried as she ran off.
"Okay that's enough for tonight," Ms. Pipers said. "You may all go home."
"Can you give me a ride home?" Marissa asked Chia and Jinx.
"Sure," Chia said. "Hop on board!" Chia said as he flew off with Jinx and Marissa in his arms.
"Wow! You're really strong!" Jinx said in awe.
"Thanks," Chia said. "Marissa, did you tell Jinx?"
"Tell me about what?" Jinx asked.
"About Jake? I did."
"Good, she needed to know," Chia said as he flew down to Jinx's house. "Marissa do you know the way to you're house from here?"
"Yeah, I can walk a block or two," she said.
"Great!" Chia said as he flew away.
"Wouldn't someone notice him?"
"Nope, no one in this neighborhood notices anything," Jinx laughed as she went inside. Marissa walked down the street to her house, when she got there Jake was waiting at her doorstep.
"What do you mean we're over?" he yelled.
"I mean we're over. I can tell that the only reason you are with me is to make Kevin jealous, and I don't want to be apart of it. Now excuse me, I need to do my homework," Marissa lied, pushing him inside and going into her house. She quickly locked the door and ran upstairs to her room.
