JAKE'S POV!
I was happy Kevin and I made up. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. When I got home I wanted to see Alyssa like crazy. I decided to go in the tree house to relax for a while. When I got there Alyssa was sitting there. I was so happy to see her. She stood up and I put my hands on her waist and leaned in and kissed her. Well, more like made out with her. After awhile, we pulled away and she sat down, I sat down next to her and held her. After a long while, my dad came in to tell me it was time for dinner. When he left, Alyssa gave me one last hug and kiss and ran home. At dinner, some things just felt uncomfortable. Dad kept looking at me awkwardly. I guess he told Mom because she was doing the same. Sarah seemed really happy, a big change for that morning. She seemed to be off into a dreamland of some sort and just played with her food. Come to think of it, everyone was acting weird. When I went upstairs, the phone rang. I answered it and it was Audrey. She said that Sarah and me were invited to come over tomorrow night for a get together. She didn't say much more and just hung up. I wondered what was going on. She sounded really excited and happy. I went and knocked on Sarah's door. "Hey Sarah! Can I come in?" "Yeah." she said. I walked in and the first thing I saw was a big hole in the wall. "What happened there?" Sarah glanced over at the wall. "Nothing..." "All right..." I said not believing her. "So what do you want?" she asked impatiently. "Audrey invited us over on Friday." "Why? I thought she hated me..." "Well apparently she doesn't..." I told her. "Ok, you can leave now..." "Sarah? What's wrong?" "Nothing... why do you ask?" "You're being kind of rude... I didn't do anything to you." Sarah glanced down for a second. "You know what... you're right. I shouldn't be acting like this to you. You didn't do anything. I've been kind of upset lately because I've made everyone mad and I've hurt people. Jake... I'm sorry." This surprised me. Sarah was also one of those people that never apologizes. "It's ok Sarah..." Sarah then got up and came over and hugged me. "Tell Audrey we'll be there..."
!KEVIN'S POV!
After I left Sarah's tree house I went home. I was thinking about so many things. But I thought a lot about Audrey. She just kept coming to mind and I think... I think I was getting a crush on Audrey. The next day I woke up really early and went outside. I walked around the neighborhood a few times when I saw Audrey. She was taking a walk so I ran up to her and pulled her to the lake to explain everything. When we got there, I explained everything to her and she forgave me. At that moment, I leaned in and kissed her and it started to rain. After I kissed her, she looked at me for a second taking in my whole face. Then it looked like an idea popped into her head. "Kevin... do you want to come over Friday?" "Friday? Why?" "Because I have a plan, but I'm not going to tell you, just come over Friday. 5:00. Ok?" "All right..." "Well I gotta go home." "I'll walk you." "Ok!" I got up with her and grabbed her hand and walked her home. When we got to her house I kissed her one more time and she went inside. How could I have never seen it before? I liked Audrey... a lot. And I think I have for along time.
!SARAH'S POV!
After I lay down, I fell asleep almost immediately. When I woke up the next morning, I got ready for my date with Kyle. I got dressed and got completely ready and headed down to the movie theatre. I got there to see Kyle looking totally great! He looked happy to see me. When I walked up to him, he hugged me. He smelt really good! We went and bought the tickets to see Van Helsing. He picked out seats in the back. The movie was great! Even though I didn't really pay attention to it. We held hands for almost the entire movie and he even put his arm around me. When the movie was over he walked me home and gave me one last hug and kiss. I went up to my room and flopped down on my bed. Kyle had made me so happy. I started to daydream when there was a knock on the door. It was Jake. He told me about Audrey inviting us over for Friday. I was surprised. But I apologized to Jake and then I hugged him. After he left my room, I called Audrey. "Hello?" "Hey Audrey, it's Sarah." "Oh, hey." she said. "Um, what's this get together thing on Friday?" I asked. "It's a surprise..." She said mysteriously. "What kind of a surprise?" I asked impatiently. "A good one." "Oh. Ok. Also... I wanted to apologize... for everything. For the dare, for hurting you, just for everything." There was a pause for a little bit, then Audrey spoke. "It's ok Sarah. You can make it up to me by coming on Friday." "All right, I'll be there..." I hung up the phone. This was great, I technically had a boyfriend, my brother was talking to me again, and everything was good with my best friends.
!ALYSSA'S POV!
When I got home, I lay down on my bed; I was so tired and was drifting off but was awakened to a knock on my door. I moaned and rolled over and Audrey walked in. " Alyssa, I invited Sarah, Kevin, Jake, and Kyle over tomorrow night." I sat up, " Are you crazy?! Remember what happened last time?" "Relax, it won't happen again, I swear", she said comfortingly " OK", I said. " But what are we going to do?" " That's for me to know and u to find out!" I rolled my eyes and lay back down. I drifted asleep until around midnight. I heard something hit my window. I got up and looked out to find Jake standing there. I sighed and opened the window. "Jake, what do you want at 12 o clock in the morning?" he answered, " I couldn't sleep, so I decided to come get you and I don't know we could hang out." Hang out? At midnight! I was supposed to be asleep! "Jake, not tonight I am dead tired. Sorry." Jake gave me " The Face" I couldn't say no to "The Face" Ever. I rolled my eyes and said, " Jacob Baker you owe me for this" I got up, got my coat, grabbed some flip-flops, and headed down the stairs and met Jake. I yawned as he took my hand and led me to the park. When we got there he laid down his jacket and sat on it. I would've done the same but I had a tank top on underneath and it was cold out. I sat down next to him and leaned my head against his shoulder. We sat there looking at the stars for a long time until we heard footsteps. We both looked up and saw Kyle standing there. Apparently he came there when he couldn't sleep. And apparently he didn't know Jake and I were together. He looked quizzically at us and asked, " Are you guys together now? I've seen you together a lot lately" Jake answered that, " Yeah, for about a month or so." " Oh..." I think he was startled that an " outcast" was going out with a " popular girl". I didn't care about labels. Kyle left soon after that which left Jake and me. We stayed there a while and then Jake walked me home. At the door he gave me one last kiss and I headed in and fell back asleep until morning.
!AUDREY'S POV!
I couldn't believe it... Kevin kissed me. And he said he liked me too. That was probably THE best moment of my life; even if my wrist was broken in two places... everything was all good. I looked at Kevin as the rain was pouring on our heads and then I had the best idea ever. Lately I had been thinking about everyone being labeled. Alyssa was the "popular girl". Jake was the "outcast punk". I was the "shy, weird, awkward girl". Sarah was the "tomboy". Kevin was the "pretty boy", and Kyle was "the jock". But we all seemed to get along. And everyone seemed to be with their "opposite". This intrigued me. What if we were all in the same room having a good time... just being friends (and more) I thought maybe all of them could just come over and hang out and maybe a little bit of seven minutes in heaven. I asked Kevin if he could and he said he could. He walked me home and then I got right to calling everybody and I told Alyssa. But I haven't told anyone my idea. But I'm hoping this get together will have everyone friends again. And everything will go back to the way it used to be, when we were happy and when we were friends. But each of us... just a little more. Thinking back on it, a lot had happened the past month, it was kind of mind blowing. But hopefully this will be a good idea and everything will work out.
