Hey guys! So here's chapter 5 of JAY.

Chapter 5

When I read that I panicked. I don't' know why I panicked but I started sweating and freaking out. I calmly shut my phone and got dressed. Maybe getting out in the city would calm me down. I changed into some denim capris and a cute tank top. I dabbed on some cherry lipgloss, grabbed my pocketbook after I shoved my phone in it and left my room. Down the hallway, Squid was leaning against the wall, hands jammed in his pockets. Boy he was cute. His head was cocked like he had a suspicion that I was freaking out.

"You ready?" He asked. I nodded and told my mom we were going out. She said good bye and we walked down the street to the bus stop. Along with us there was a gothic girl, a guy who looked like a massive druggie and this thug. I glanced at them nervously, I had always been afraid of strangers. Squid knew this and put a protective arm around my waist and pulled me towards him. It caught me off balance and I laughed really hard, causing the people to look at me weird. When I finally had snuggled into Squid, they looked away and the bus rolled up. We got on and took our seats. The bus was pretty crowded and among the many people, one person stood out from me and that was Lianne. I didn't know why she was on the bus and I didn't really want to know.

"Hey guys!" She said, bouncing into the seat in front of us. She turned around to Squid.

"Hi Lianne." I mumbled.

"Oh you don't sound happy to see me!" She said surprised. "So where are you two headed?" She asked us. Squid shrugged.

"Around I guess." Squid answered.

"That's cool. I'm going to my daddy's office. Maybe we'll end up getting off at the same stop!" Lianne said happily. She was so perky and it annoyed the crap out of me.

"Hopefully not." I mumbled. The bus driver slammed on the brakes and opened the doors. Lianne looked out the window as did I. She jumped up.

"Here's my stop toodles." She waved at us, flounced off the bus and it got going again. I looked outside and saw a billboard for the Tower of Americas. I tugged at Squid's sleeve.

"Squid, when are we gonna get off?" I asked, well more like complained.

"In a second geeze. I know where we are…" He stood up. "STOP!" He yelled. The bus screeched to a halt, sending Squid forward.

"Are you crazy?" I asked Squid as he pulled me off the bus. In front of us was a park. It was cute, with sidewalks and a fountain and benches and flowers.

"Oh it's beautiful." I said, as we stated walking in it.

"Look Shorty, I think we really have to talk about the future and us." Squid said pulling me over to a bench. My facial expression died and I sat with him on the bench.

"I'm guessing this is about college and stuff?" I asked.

"Yeah, I know we both started to send our applications and junk to places, and we've sent a lot to the same places, hoping to get into the same place, but what if that doesn't happen?" He asked. He was so serious about this. He looked to sad and worried. It was a side of him I don't think I'd ever seen. Instead of his usual hard exterior and interior, his interior was melting and becoming soft.

"Well, I don't want to break up with you at the end of this year, I really don't." I said, my heart fluttering and beating hard as I said this.

"I know I don't either. But do you think this, this whatever we have, will be able to withstand miles?" He asked.

"If it would last Camp Green Lake, I think it could last a couple of hundreds of miles." I said, hoping to get a smile out of him. He smiled but weakly. "I think our love will be able to last." I said more confidently.

"Our love…I like it." Squid said and I rested my head on his shoulder as the cool September breeze blew leaves at our feet.

Sunday went by fast and before I knew it, Monday was back and so was school. That meant homework, boring teachers, hanging with Squid in between classes and girl talk with Amber in biology. We usually got about 15 minutes before homeroom to hang out and stuff, which was usually the time when Amber and ZigZag were making out on my locker, yeah my locker. I usually either scrambled to get some last minute homework done, or just walked around with Squid. This morning was no different. After prying Amber and ZigZag apart for 5 sec, I opened my locker, put my books away and grabbed the ones I needed and I scurried away. My locker was in the hallway known as "make-out hallway", which was not the best location in my opinion.

"Hello there." Someone whispered in my ear, hugging me from behind. I turned my head backwards to see who it was. Squid was standing there.

"Hiya!" I said, giving him a quick kiss. He smiled as we walked around.

"So whatcha been up too since Saturday?" I asked as we leaned against the wall outside my homeroom. That was where we usually stood and chatted; to make sure I wasn't late, since I had a knack of that last year.

"Not much, just hung out in the empty house, got a job, and watched some TV…" I stopped him from talking.

"Say what? A job? Really where?" Squid laughed.

"Sam place as your brother, he hooked me up. With less hours though, so I have time for more important things like…" He kissed me.

"So what are your hours?" I asked, puling out of the kiss.

"Well, usually it's after school until like 6 except Wednesday's it's from 6 until 9. But the weekends I have off." Suddenly someone pulled me away from Squid. I whipped around to see Amber on the verge of tears.

"Amber, are you alright?" I asked, taking her arm.

"I think that Ricky's is going to break up with me." Amber said.

"Why do you think that?" I asked, confused, considering that the fact that they seemed very happy together.

"I don't know, I heard him talking on his phone when I was over his house, and he said something like 'She is being so stupid' and then this other time I was looking at his phone and he got a text message and it said something like 'Sorry dude I don't know what to tell you, sounds like you two never meet eye to eye'." Amber looked at me terrified.

"How do you know he wasn't talking about his mom, grandma, sister, you know he does have two of those." I said, trying to liven her spirits a little.

"You're right, maybe it's Jessie or Lisa or maybe it is his mom, he's been complaining about her a lot…" She walked away, muttering to herself.

"What was that all about?" Squid asked, walking over to me.

"Amber thinks ZigZag's gonna break up with her." I said, looking at Squid. "Do you know anything about it?" I asked.

"Oh geeze." Squid said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"Squid, is he going to break up with her?" I asked, giving him my 'what do you know' look.

"Well, he was thinking about it…" Squid said, shrugging.

"Zig's gonna break up with Amber!" I yelled at Squid as the bell rang.

Ohh dun dun dun. What's gonna happen? Review and find out :)
