Can Lead to BIG Mistakes!
Jada yawned as she walked up to Lisette's locker the next Monday morning.
"Long night?" Paula asked, concerned.
"Yea, I totally forgot about a paper I had due in History today, because of our fun weekend at the boys' place," Jada sighed.
Lisette noticed Jada's binder and grabbed it from her hands," Oh, hey you them developed."
Jada smiled at the pictures that she was talking about. After the obstacle course, Harry had grabbed Jada's digital camera and went nuts with it. There were pictures of her with Tom and Lisette jumping around and of Danny and Dougie pouting in the grass, watching the winners celebrate. There was also one of Lisette and Gabe hugging, still in their messy clothes, but Jada's favorite had to be the one of her and Dougie. Jada had been teasing him ruthlessly and after a minute Dougie had started chasing her around the yard. She ran as fast as she could but he had caught up to her, pushing her to the ground and straddling her waist. He was holding on to her wrist and trying to get her to take back whatever she had said, when Harry came up behind them, called their names, and snapped the picture as fast as he could. The end result came out perfectly to Jada, both of them smiling and the picture being of them in their natural states having fun and not caring who saw them. She loved that picture and spent a good part of yesterday afternoon staring at it, after it was developed.
"Aw, they're awesome. Can we have copies?" Paula asked, looking over Lisette's shoulder.
"Yea," Jada said," Of course. I'll make them tonight."
"Cool," Lisette said," Anyway, Paula you look tired too. What's up?"
"Are you kidding me? You honestly don't know why I'm so tired?"
Lisette shrugged her shoulders and Jada shook her head no.
Paula yawned again and said," It's all this slave crap I've been doing for you guys. It's gotten way out of hand. Tom actually had me wash his own hair last night."
"Are you serious?" Jada said," Wait a second. He wasn't actually...naked, was he?"
"NO!!" Paula screamed, then lowered her voice," I wouldn't let him take his clothes off, but God knows he tried. Danny almost had a heart attack and chased him around the house screaming 'I'm gonna kill him! He's so dead!'. Tom barley made it alive."
Jada was laughing hysterically and Lisette said," Aw, poor Tom."
"POOR TOM!?!" Paula screamed," You mean poor me! I'm the one who had to wash his hair and then keep Danny away from him!
Lisette laughed a little and said," Ok, Ok, sorry."
The three girls got ready for class and walked their separate ways as the bell rang. Jada was dreading first block and seeing Preston. When she walked into the office, he was sitting at the desk, impatiently tapping a pen against his knee. He smiled a big smile when he saw Jada and dropped the pen back into the round cup that Mrs. Talbott kept them in.
"Morning, Jada," he said, cheerful as ever.
"Preston," she replied quietly.
"How was your weekend? Did you have fun with your friends?"
"Yea, it was great," Jada said then sighed and sank into her sink.
Afterwards, an awkward silence filled the office until Mrs. Talbott came in and they started to work. Half way through the class though Preston spoke up again.
"Um, Jada?"
"Yes, Preston?" Jada asked, concentrating on the absent people she was marking down.
"Um, I was wondering," at this, Jada looked up at Preston, hoping he wasn't about to say what she thought he was," If maybe, you know, you wanted to go out with me this weekend?"
Jada sighed for the hundredth time this day and set her papers down," Preston, we've been over this a thousand times. I don't want to go out with you. I'm sorry."
Preston looked down at his hands," I just wish I knew why."
Jada was getting frustrated now and said the firth thing that came to her mind," Because I have a boyfriend, Preston!"
Preston looked up at her, shocked at, not only her raised voice, but the fact that she had a boyfriend, and somehow not really believing her either.
"Who?" he asked. skeptically.
Jada got nervous and looked around the room, her eyes landing on her binder and then the picture of her and Dougie. Knowing it was a stupid thing to say, she continued to let the words come out of her mouth.
"Dougie Poynter, I'm dating Dougie."
Preston's eyes landed on the picture on Jada's binder and his face fell, actually believing the two were dating.
"Oh," he said, quietly and in a voice Jada had never heard before," I didn't know. I'm sorry."
Jada looked to the ground, feeling bad, and said," It's ok."
The two didn't say another word to each other for the rest of the period. When the bell rang, Jada watched with a heavy heart as Preston hurriedly got up and left the office. She felt bad, but she was also panicking. What if he told someone? What if this got out and people started to actually think she was dating Dougie? Oh, God, she was seriously in for it now.
