"He was a boy she was a girl can I make it any more obvious? He was a punk she did ballet what more can I say?" Paige sang along to the radio. "I don't know what more you could say but I say you can shut the hell up." Paige said as she clicked off her radio. "God I despise Avril." Paige continued on to curl her hair. Paige heard the sound of Jay's system outside. "Paige I think your ride is here!" Her mother yelled up to her. "Ok I'll be down!" Paige hurried up and curled her last bit of hair. After a few spritz of hair spray she was on her way down stairs. Her mother was peering out the window. She turned around when her daughter entered the room. "Honey, who is that? That doesn't look like Spinner." Paige knew there was going to be an investigation. "That's because it's not. It's this guy named Jay." She said as she walked to the door. "Paige you know I don't like you running off with boys I don't get to meet." "Mom, please don't do this right now. You know I make good judgment, So please just let me go with out further more questioning." Paige pleaded. Her mother was silent, she gazed out the window one last time before speaking. "Ok, dear just be careful. I want to meet this boy another time though." Paige smiled and gave her mom a quick kiss and hug. "I'll be home later." Paige left. Her mother watched her get in the car .

"Finally, You're mom has been casing me out from the window. I was waiting to be surrounded by the police squad." He said as he turned down the music.

"Sorry about that, my mom is a total paranoid." Paige said, she glanced over at Jay. He was wearing a dark blue sweater with a white collar shirt underneath and jeans."Well don't you look nice." She said with a laugh.

"What's so funny? You picked out this stupid outfit."

"No it looks good, you just need to fix your collar you can't have it all bunched up like that." Paige leaned over and popped his collar up. "There much better." She said looking at him. Jay rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"What difference does it make I still look like a chump."

"Stop, you do not. You look good. You got admit you feel good too." She said looking up at him. He knew she was right but once again he couldn't let her know. He looked down at her then looked back to the road.

"Seems like you planned on us matching tonight." He said looking back at her outfit.

"I so didn't plan this but I guess it works in our favor eh?"

"Yea works in our favor of looking like 1 of those cheesy couples who wear matching outfits might as well get those shirts with our pictures on them" Paige laughed. "Fine drive me back to my house I'll go change since you find me utterly disgusting in this outfit."

"Paige you know you don't look disgusting and you never could look disgusting you are just fishing for compliments."

"So is that a bad thing?" she said raising an eyebrow.

Jay sighed and gave a half smile as he shook his head.

"So how long do we have to be at this oh so fun bash?" he said as he pulled up to Ashley's house.

"Why do you have other plans?"

"Mayyybe I do Mayyyybe I don't." he said teasingly as he parked his car.

"Just for a little while ok? If you feel uncomfortable just let me know and we'll leave." She said giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. They got out of the car. As they walked up Paige linked her arm with in his. He looked down at her and she smiled. Before she rang the door bell Jay spoke. "You remembered how you said a minute ago if I feel uncomfortable to let you know and we'll leave?" "Yea?"

"I feel uncomfortable." She looked up and saw that he was nervous.

"I never expected a guy like you would be nervous. People fear you why would you be nervous."

"I just feel like I'm going to feel suffocated here. I don't like to be suffocated." For a brief moment Paige saw the sensitive side to Jay.

"We'll just go in have a look around, if you still feel that way we'll leave I promise." She patted his shoulder then rang the door bell. Jay sucked in a deep breath and exhaled as Ashley answered the door.
