Thanks for the comment guys, and keep it coming, lol!

"A Date?"

"I-it's y-you," stuttered Keely.

"No duh!" the person said, "Who else can it be?"

Keely stood up, her face was still wet from the mentioning and the pain of Phil. Keely had walked closer and hug the person. The 5'3'', black hair, Asian girl hugged Keely back.

"I miss you, Tia."

"I had missed you too, girlfriend!"

Keely and Tia hugged one another. Keely had not seen Tia for over two years; she was the first friend she had in Pickford. Ever since Tia had moved to New York, Keely was depressed and due to that, Phil had to be the replacement of her (as for in girl stuff) and then Via took place. Keely was first shocked to see Tia back.

"Tia, when did you– why did you come back?" surprisingly I said.

"Well that's isn't the expression I expect, especially, when an old friend comes back!"

"Oh, sorry. I'm just surprise..."

"...Well my family and I had a really bored time over there, so loud and so crowded. My dad finally realized how we missed Pickford, so we decided to move back to this simple, yet, memorable city." Tia stopped silent and had realized the face on Keely.

"Hey, Keely, your face... why were you crying?"

"Oh, nothing that matters, I had a fight with my now ex-friends over something stupid what they had said..."

"Who was these ex-friends of your's"

"Just a girl and her boyfriend, they are nothing now. I had thought them to be better, but we had moved long time ago, though."

"Oh, so I guess a lot had happen since I was gone."

"Yeah it did, and I really had want you to be here with me to deal with this."

"Keely, didn't you have Phil for this too?"

"What, Phil...?"

"Yes, Phil. You know the cute dark hair boy that was so smart and was our friend that we met in freshman year."

'Wait, she doesn't know does she. I hadn't talk to her for a while, and she didn't know that Phil had left six months after she had moved.' -Keely had thought to herself.

"Tia, you may not know, but Phil...he moved a while back ago. Not that long after you had left."

"Oh sorry, Kelly, I didn't know..do you still talk to him or saw one another since then?"

Keely was silent, she knew the both answers were "no", but she had really wanted it to be true.

"No...

He left me knowing...

he didn't bother to...

contact me...

or-or tell me that he had left..."

Keely had almost began to cry, but she force herself to hold it together and said to herself, 'stop it, get over him' She looked back up at Tia and she looked at her with the look of giving pity.

"Keely, are you alright, I know how you two were close, as friends and more–"

"It's okay, Tia...I'm fine now. Oh look at the time Tia, we're going to be late, we will talk later," she said wiping her tears and smile.

"Late? When did you care of being late?" Tia had questioned.

As she about to walk inside the school, Keely turned around and smile with her red-eyed face to Tia and said,

"I had changed too, Tia."

"Oh...lemme guess... you're now those smart, geeky kids that gets A's, huh?" Tia jokingly.

"No, I'm not, I am one of those kids that gets A, and I don't mind it" Keely said jokingly back, and ran inside.

Tia stood in astonishment, things had changed since she left. But she shrugged and went inside the school.

"I can try to change you back to your original self, the Keely the one we know and loved."

Tia smiled and kept on walking to class.

It was already 12:00. Who knew that time could have flown so fast. All of my major classes was over, the only class I have left is study hall and Video Broadcast Lab, which of course, I was looking forward to. Well, it's lunch time now and I was planing to see Tia there and decided to talk to her, to catch up on what had happen to her. But, wow, if I knew this was going to happen...

I just got my sandwich that I made at home and started to look for Tia. I had really missed her, as she was my first friend that I had. She knew me longer than anyone, except, Mom and me. But the problem is that, she doesn't know me, anymore. But, I couldn't let her go too. Then I walked past by a few tables and saw Tia listening to her mp3 player, while sitting next to that tree...that tree...

"Hey Tia." I said when approaching her.

She looked at me and smiled. I had not saw that perky, snobby, arrogant-like smile, for since a long time, since I had smiled like that, before I had cared for school, when I was popular, and before I had met him...

"Hey Keely!" She took off her headphones and told me to sit next to her, and I did.

"So why had you choose to sit here?" I asked her. I was wondering why of all place to choice from, why did Tia had choose here.

"Well I like the scenery here, look at the cute boys, the flowers and look at the..." she looked around and had notice that sign on the tree. The thing that I had try to avoid outside in the tree. The thing I knew that it was all a lie

She continued, "...look at this sign... 'Keely and Phil...friends forever."

My heart had skipped a beat. I didn't want to hear what see had said. The expression on Tia's face was puzzled, yet she knew what's happening presently and stop talking. She knew that my heart was weigh down.

She then smile and we began chatting about our lives to avoided the topic. I loved her, she cared for me, not to hurt me. Yet, somehow from her conversation of shopping for shoes had changed into me having A's and my personal life. (As long time ago, we had done this, not surprise.)

"So when you told me that you were an A student, you weren't kidding me. And you're clothes girl, what happ– " Tia said while looking at me, up and down. But she had stopped.

"Yeah.." I had started to feel uncomfortable. She can tell I was uncomfortable so she had stop talking.

"Well, we can work on it later, I still love you girl," she laughed and I pretend to laugh.

"Well, you sure did change, what's with the change of heart, why are you so into academics?" she said.

I didn't really know the answer but I muster to say,

"I don't know, maybe, since I wasn't distracted anymore by friends, and had nothing to fill my ..."

I paused. I didn't want to go on. But she said,

"Your what?"

"My empty heart..." I felt ashamed and also embarrassed. So I said in laughter, "...well, at least, I am not hurting myself, like other depressed teens– "

"Hmm, keely, I got an idea" She began to hug me. She looked at me. "How about, we get some boyfriends to make life more fun and less drepressing!"

"What! No, I'm not interested," I said.

"What, a gorgeous girl like you, don't want any boyfriends?" she said and I shook my head, yet, she still continued. "come on, Keely, someone to help take your mind off"

'Take my mind off, that sounds good, yet, I'm not ready'

"Hey you two!" shouted Tia. She was talking to the cute boys that she had mentioned. Both of them were really tall and manly-like. One of them was blonde and the other had dark black hair. The two guys stared at both of us and smiled. I faked a smile, yet, Tia was all excited. The guys had walked toward us. I didn't believe she had done this, but I wasn't surprise. It was so like her.

"Well you may not know us, but–" Tia had said but she was interrupted.

"You're Tia" said the blonde and the black hair guy said "and you're Keely Teslow."

"Wow, you know us?"

"Well, of course, you two were the most popular and the most cutest girls in the 9th grade." Both of them said.

The blonde said, "too bad you moved, Tia, because I had the biggest crush on you" and the black hair guys said, "and you're famous, Keely, who don't know you in Pickford."

I began to blush while Tia began to smile like a little girl.

"Well, my friend here and me, of course, are free for tonight, and we were wondering. If you want to go to the movies tonight?" she said in a flirting way.

'Oh my God, what did she just said...I am so embarrassed, I wish wasn't here...'

"Well, sure!" the guys said in excitement. "We'll meet you at the movies at 8:00?"

"Of course," she said.

"Sure," I said when I was still in surprise.

The guys walked away talking to one other about us. I still sat there. Then Tia turned her head to me and said,

"just like, old times, huh?"

"Yeah, the old times..."

The bell rang and I ran to study hall, just to clear my thoughts for a second. I have a date, a date? I haven't have one for a long time, especially with noone that will protect my heart...

Well recently, i have felt my story is getting duller, but i'm trying to add more plot twist into it, such as, a new boy that keely had met in the next chapter im working on, "the new boy". So bare with me until, something interesting happens. NuNu
