A/n- Okay guys. Thanks for the ton of reviews, keep them coming, and I'll keep the updates coming. BUT. As of Monday, June 15th, I'm going on vacation. So sorry, but I'll return on Friday the 20th. So I hope this will hold you off until then.

"JEFF. JEFF. JEFF." Jeff groaned, pulling his orange blanket over his head. Matt hardy rolled his eyes at the messy room. Clothes, food, cups and empty bowls.

"How do you live in this place?" Matt muttered, making a pile of the garbage.

"Go away." Jeff turned to his side. Matt raised an eyebrow before picking up Jeff's cups and whipping them, one after another at his little brother. Jeff just sat up, looking extremely pissed.

"DO YOU MIND?" He jumped out of bed, almost tripping over a chair he didn't know he had. "You're making a mess!" Matt chuckled.

"It's already messy. You have two minutes to get ready, otherwise your walking to school." Matt hurried out the door.

"I'm sick. I guess I can't go." Jeff shrugged. Matt popped his head in.

"Oh, you're going. Now get dressed." He disappeared.

"I HATE YOU." Jeff screamed before tripping on his way to the closet. He fumbled around, looking for decent clothes to wear. He threw them on and quickly glanced in the mirror before running out the door. Matt honked the horn of his black jeep Cherokee, scaring Jeff half to death. "Neighbors are sleeping." Jeff hissed, sliding into the cool leather seat. Matt rolled his eyes before starting up his car and driving to school, giving Jeff only 10 minutes to think about what he was going to do about Ashley.

Ashley looked at her friends, shrugging at bit. "Guys, I don't think we should do this.." Ashley just received a bunch of blank stares.

"Why not?" Torrie asked.

"Yeah, what do you have to lose?" Trish asked.

"Nothing but.."

"Good. Then get in there, and just walk right passed him, don't even look at him. It'll make him want you more." Ashley rolled her eyes, and before she could reject, all three girls pushed her through the doorway. Ashley stumbled in her heels, but quickly regained her posture. She took a deep breath before strutting passed Jeff, hoping he was watching. He was.

"Damn." Jeff mumbled as he watched a blonde walk by. As she turned the corner, Jeff got a glimpse of her face. "Ashley?!" But she kept walking. Jeff's jaw dropped. Why now? Why was she going to make this so hard for him? He scratched his head and jumped behind a wall, avoiding Randy and John at all costs. He began making his way to English, giving Mrs. J a quick hello before scurrying to his seat. He glanced at Ashley who was writing something on her notebook.

"Oops." Jeff heard. He turned around to see Ashley looking at her pen she dropped. Perhaps it was on purpose? Jeff bent down and got it, putting it on her desk. "Thanks." She smiled. She really did look good. Her hair.. the clothes. The make up.

"No problem." Jeff turned back around. He tapped his pencil on his desk. He could ignore Ashley. Or ignore Randy and John. But Ashley was his friend. He couldn't do that. So what, the guys were going to blackmail him. Maybe people would realize they were the jerks. Jeff grinned. Who cares if Randy's threatening him? He was gonna follow his heart, as gay as that sounded. By the end of the class, Jeff turned to Ashley.

"Hey Ash. Wanna hang out after school?" Ashley smiled, trying to hold back the jumping up and down.

"Yeah. Sure." She pushed a piece of straight hair behind her ear. "Where are we going?" She asked.

"Secret." He smirked. "Wait by your locker at the end of the day." With that, he got up and walked off to his next class.

"YES!" Ashley clapped excitedly which earned her weird stares from kids still in the classroom, but Ashley didn't care. She just made her way to Mr. Perry's sculpture class.

"He really asked you?!" Stacy put her hands to her face. Torrie and Trish snorted. "Ohmigod! That's totally amazing!" Stacy went back to sculpting with clay.

"I know! Thank you guys so much! I guess I was wrong, this" she motioned to her outfit "isn't so bad."

"Of course it's not if you just scored a date with one of the hottest guys in the school." Torrie laughed.

"I can't get this leg right." Stacy pointed to her dog she was sculpting. "You said it would be easy." Stacy pointed accusingly at Trish.

"It's a dog." Trish raised an eyebrow. "How hard could it be? Besides, it's not like your making a tiger." Trish pointed to her own artwork. Stacy sighed.

"Can I have your tiger? You're good at art." Stacy pouted.

"Not as good as Ash." Torrie pointed to Ashley's flamingo. They all stared in awe.

"It's not that good. I guess I'm just having a good day." Ashley grinned.

"Good day indeed." Torrie nodded. "Anyways, I've been thinking. There's this guy.." Torrie gave a secret smile.

"Who?" They demanded.

"His names Dave." Torrie shyly glanced at the ground.

"Bautista?" Stacy asked. "The one on the football team?"

"Sh!" Torrie put her finger to her mouth. "Yeah. Him."

"Good for you Torrie!" Trish looked at Stacy. "We need men.."

"Yep.." Stacy cupped her chin, causing the girls to laugh. "What?"

"Uh. You have clay all over your face." Ashley laughed.

"Thanks for telling me! Shit! It's hard!" Stacy peeled at her face, then glared at her fellow blondes. "Why didn't you say anything?" She took the head off of her dog and separated it into three pieces. "I'd warn you." She threw a piece at the girls, causing them to try to duck. "There's clay on your face!" Stacy laughed. The girls glared at her and looked at eachother, throwing clay back.

"GIRLS! STOP IT!" Mr. Perry screamed. The girls stopped laughing and dropped the clay. "I'm not even going to give you detention. It's punishment enough trying to start over. But you're staying late to clean this up. The rest of you are dismissed." Mr. Perry gave the girls a wet cloth. "Clean." He went back to his desk to finish grading papers.

"Stacy. It's all your fault." Trish laughed.

"No! You didn't tell me. Is it all gone?"

"Yeah." The girls finished cleaning before heading to lunch. "That was funny." Ashley laughed. "We'd get expelled if we did that in my old school."

"Really? I thought we would too." Torrie shrugged.

"Stacy probably slept with him or something." Trish shrugged, receiving a smack from Stacy.

"I'm so not a slut!" Everyone stopped to stare at her. "You guys are assholes." She mumbled before stamping off to their table.

"Stacy." Torrie and Trish ran after her. Ashley laughed and hopped in the lunch line.

"Hey." Ashley turned to face Randy watching her.

"Uh. Hey." She smiled and turned back to get a sandwich and drink. Once at the cash register, she gave her money.

"Sorry, but you only have $1.75. All together it's $2.50." The woman shrugged.

"Oh. Uh." Ashley looked at what she needed more.

"Here." Three quarters appeared. Ashley took them and gave them to the lady.

"Thanks," Ashley smiled at Randy. "I'll pay you back. I promise."

"No need for money. Just promise me we could hang out some time." He winked.

"Uh. Sure." Ashley smiled. "That'd be cool."

"I'll let you know when." He walked off to sit with the rest of his friends. Ashley walked to her table.

"Hey guys.. Randy Orton just asked me out on a date." Ashley smiled.

"What about Jeff?" Torrie sipped her vitamin water.

"Well, couldn't I make him jealous with this?"

"No! You already have Jeff. Plus, he'll think its pathetic. All guys do." Stacy pointed out.

"Shit." Ashley sighed.

"Well. Just try them out. Sample them each." Stacy advised.

"Stacy. We're not all sluts." Trish laughed.

"That's NOT what I meant!" Stacy sighed heavily. "Just see who you like more."

Ashley glanced over at Randy and then Jeff. "Yeah, I guess I could."

"Hey." Jeff greeted Ashley with a quick hug.

"Hi. So what are we going?" Ashley asked, slinging her bag onto one shoulder.

"I told you, it's a secret." He grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the school. They walked down the street, him still gripping her hand.

"So, are you glad you moved here?" Jeff asked, trying to strike up conversation.

"Yeah, People are actually nice here."

"You mean some people. Some are just huge bitches." He shook his head as if to say 'It's a shame.'

"Yeah, but if you stay away from them, it's not so bad."

"True." Jeff smiled at her. Ashley then realized he was taking her to her spot on the beach. The one she thought no body knew about. Jeff sat on top of the boulder she always leaned against. "Come, sit." He patted the spot next to him. He pointed to the water. "Very rarely, you can see dolphins from here. I've seen then about two times, and I come here just about everyday."

"Really? That's so cool." She wrapped her arms around her legs.

"Hey, Max." Jeff clapped his hands together. Ashley looked down, the golden retriever from last time was wagging it's tail happily.

"Your dog?" She asked.

"No, This is Max. His owner died about a year ago. Ever since he wanders the beach, looking for him. He doesn't bother anyone, people actually take turns leaving food out for him. Isn't that right Max?" Jeff ran his hand down his shiny coat. Ashley watched the dog, realizing how much she wanted a dog.

"I wish I had a dog." Ashley sighed.

"Me too." Jeff shrugged. "But Matt's allergic apparently." Jeff sighed.

"Really? My mom doesn't think I could take care of one."

"What about your dad?" Jeff asked Ashley, staring directly into her eyes.

"Oh.. uh. My dad.. he left me and my mom when I was 4 and just died recently." Ashley looked away.

"Oh. I'm sorry." Jeff put a hand on her knee. "I know how hard it can be, living without a parent. My parents both died when I was little, didn't really know them. Me and Matt stayed with an aunt and when he turned 18 we got our own place."

"So you just live with Matt?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah, He's not so bad, for a brother." Jeff gave a goofy smile. Ashley wondered how he can act so happy when he just told her about his parents. After an uncomfortable silence Jeff stood up. "My ass hurts." He then sat on the sand, leaning around the boulder. Ashley did the same and watched as Max trudged away to find his dinner.

"You know Ash.." Jeff began, putting an arm around her.

"Yeah?" Ashley looked up at him.

"I just wanted to let you know.. That I really like you." Jeff refused to look at her while he said it. "You're a really cool chick to hang out with. I feel like.. I don't know. We get each other." Jeff began picking up sand and watching it slip through his fingers. "You're probably the only girl I can talk to about things. I know I can come to you whenever you want, and you can come to me when you need me. I want you to know I'm always going to be here for you and tha-"

"Jeff, you're babbling." Ashley smiled.

"Am I? Sorry. But some people just don't get me. They think that my life is perfect, but it's really not. And you can probably relate because-"

"Jeff. Shut up." Ashley giggled.

"Huh?" Ashley sat up at looked at him for a second.

"I really like you too, as if it wasn't obvious enough. You're really funny, and can make me smile when no one else can. Although you tend to tease me a lot, I like when you joke around, and how you know when to be serious.."

"Ash. Shut up." Ashley raised an eyebrow and went to look up, but just as her head moved, Jeff's lips touched hers. The two sat there on the beach, sun setting, kissing eachother for the first time. After a minute, Ashley pulled away and watched him. Jeff pulled her closer to him and hugged her.

"I have to go. I have to help Matt with dinner. But maybe we could do something tomorrow." He smiled. Ashley nodded.

"Yeah, I'd like that." Jeff grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

"Bye Ash." He leaned in, giving her one, last passionate kiss.

"Bye Jeff." Ashley murmured when they came up for air. Jeff smiled before whispering "Goodbye." In Ashley's ear. He then began walking off the beach, kicking sand up. Once he was off the sand and out of view of Ashley, he smiled and punched the air.

"Yes!" He couldn't help it.

"Yo Jeff." Jeff spun around and gasped.

"Randy!"
