Chapter 2
Boys, Boys and Even More Boys!
Jada's eyes lit up as the bell to end first block rang. She grabbed her stuff and tried to walk out of the door, but Preston stood in front of her before she could.
"Um, yes Preston?" Jada asked, mentally kicking herself for not being quicker.
"Look, Jada, I know I've asked you out many times before, but I was wondering if you'd like to go to the movies later on this week?" he replied, getting a hopeful grin on his face.
Jada felt like a complete jerk, but she just couldn't. She just didn't like him like that.
"I'm sorry Preston, I can't. I already have plans for the weekend."
That wasn't a lie either, she did have plans to go and see Paula's boyfriend and his friends on Friday. She went to walk around Preston but he moved so that he was blocking her way to the door again.
Preston gave her a sad smile and said," So, what are you doing?"
"Just hanging out with some friends."
"I wish you'd just give me a chance, Jada," Preston sighed," I'm not a bad guy and I would treat you right. I guess I just don't understand."
Ok, now Jada's heart was breaking. She liked Preston, he was a nice guy, she just didn't want to date him. He's not what she was looking for in a guy. She wanted someone who was outgoing and funny as well as sweet and caring. Someone she could feel comfortable with and who she could be best friends with as well as lovers. Preston just didn't have those qualities, she was never comfortable around him, she hated his jokes, and she could never trust him enough to be his best friend as well.
"Preston, I'm sorry, I just don't see you as any more than a friend. You're a great guy, you're just not the guy for me."
Jada pushed past him to walk out of the door and towards Paula's locker where she would meet said person and Lisette. As she got closer to her destinantion, she saw the two girls chatting away without a care in the world and sighed again.
"What's wrong with you?" Lisette questioned," You look like your puppy just got run over or something."
"They're having two office workers a period now," Jada explained.
Paula looked confused," What's wrong with that? I would think you'd welcome someone to talk to in there."
"Oh, I would, if that person wasn't Preston Lewis."
Jada leaned against the locker next to Paula's and slid to the floor.
"Oh, that's tough. That might even be worse than me haveing Tarzan's girlfriend to learn chemical eqautions from," Lisette said.
Paula sighed," I don't see what the problem is. Preston's a nice guy, you should feel lucky that he keeps asking you out. I know lots of girls who like him."
"Then why doesn't he ask one of them? He's just not what I'm looking for, P," Jada said, wrapping her arms around her knees and tucking a strand of her strawberry blonde hair behind her ear.
"See, that's your problem, Jada," Paula said, closing her locker door," You set your standards way too high. I didn't really like Danny at first either but I gave him a chance, and now look at us. I'm in love and I'll never regret giving in to his constant nagging."
Lisette giggled," P, are you forgetting the small fact that your boyfriend is amazing in practically every way, oh and in one of the biggest pop bands in the world?"
Jada sighed as she listened to Lisette talk about Danny. Danny and his friends were in a majorly famous band called McFly and it was only by a fluke that they got to know them. Paula and Jada were out shopping in Time's Sqaure a couple months ago when they ran into Danny and Dougie, another one of McFly along with Tom and Harry, in the Virgin music store. The girls had known them from magazines and from hearing Lisette talk about them all the time, but they weren't really into their type of music so had never taken the time to listen to them. When Danny heard this, he immediately went to the pop section of the store, grabbed one of their albums and put it into one of those preview things so the girls could listen to them.
"You'll never know if you like us until you listen to the music," he had said to them, sitting them down on a chair.
The girls gave in eventually and listened to them, loving them from the instant they heard the first song. After that the band had become some of their really good friends, and Danny began to fall for Paula hard. She went on a date with him after he had asked her out for the hundreth time, or so she says, it was more like the fifth, and she had a blast. That was a month ago and Paula's never been happier. Jada suddenly got pulled out of her daydream when Paula started to talk.
"That's beside the point, Lisette," she said, rolling her eyes and getting frustrated.
"No, it's not," Jada looked up at the two girls," She's right, P, Danny's amazing. God, I would give anything to date someone like him."
Paula scoffed," No matter what you guys may think, Danny's not that perfect."
"He's still better than some of the scum around here," Lisette said, eyeing a guy across the hall.
Jada giggled as Paula rolled her eyes," Lisette, stop it! It's rude to glare at people."
"It's rude to do a lot of things but that doesn't stop me now does it?" Lisette said while turning around and smiling playfully at Paula," I don't see why Danny likes you, you're such a goody-two shoes."
"Yea, and I have no idea why I'm friends with such a sarcastic trouble maker," Paula replied.
Jada just grinned and watched the two play their little game. She loved when they did this, it took her mind off of things like boys and such.
Lisette smiled and wrapped an arm around Paula," Well, you know what they say, opposites attract."
Paula grinned back at Lisette and turned to Jada," C'mon, we're going to be late."
Jada stood up, grabbed her backpack, and wrapped her arm around Paula's other side. The three girls walked off to gym, a class they all had together, and talked about the upcoming weekend with the McFly guys.
"So, what are we doing anyway?" Jada asked, slipping on her tennis shoes and pulling her hair into a ponytail.
Paula shrugged," Danny won't tell me, says it's a surprise."
"Oh, fun, I so can't wait for Saturday. There's no telling what those boys will do," Lisette said.
"That's what's got me so worried," Paula said, she stood up and went to her gym locker, locking her clothes and other belongings in there," Harry, Dougie, and Tom keep saying that we're going to have the time of our lives and it's scaring the hell out of me."
Jada had to laugh at that, but it was also kind of scaring her too. Those boys were known to do some crazy stuff and she didn't want to end up doing something illegal or that would get them hurt.
"Oh, c'mon, it'll be fun," Lisette said," You guys, these boys aren't usually the type to do these things for us. It's a once in a lifetime oppurtunity, and I'm not going to waste it."
Jada stood up and followed her two friends out into the gym, standing on her spot for warm ups and stretches. Their coach was very strict and precise and he never played around, so if you weren't on your spot for stretches by the time he was ready you were most likely going to have to run an extra twenty laps around the gym. The gym teacher, Mr. Hall (or as Lisette calls him, the evil dictator who needs a life), came into the gym and started to give the students instuctions for the day. The girls went through the rest of the day, talking as much as possible to catch up on their lives. When the final bell of the day rang, the girls met up at the front entrance of the school.
"You guys want to do something today?" Lisette asked.
"Can't sorry," Paula replied," Danny's coming over to my house so we can catch up. He hasn't been in town for two weeks."
"Oh, Jada?"
"I have homework already, sorry," Jada said, concentrating more on her books than on Lisette.
"Homework, gah that sucks," Lisette said.
Jada sighed," Tell me about it. Mr. Webb is the spawn of Satan."
"I hate U.S. history, and Mr. Webb just makes it worse," Paula said.
"All of our teachers have something wrong with them don't they?" Lisette questioned," They're either crazy, too strict, or the devil. Something's seriously wrong with that."
Paula giggled and said," Wow, I never noticed that before. That's so weird."
Jada smiled at her two friends and got her keys out of her bag," I guess I'll talk to you guys later."
"See-ya Jada," Paula said, walking in the opposite direction with Lisette, who was waveing good-bye.
Jada unlocked her car and got inside, thinking about this weekend. She was excited and nervous. She just hoped these boys weren't going to get too wild.
