They ran out in the night, Jessica following behind Nate and Lexi who were giggling to eachother. Jessica rolled her eyes and caught up with them.
"You guys are laughing when people just DIED in there?" Jessica snapped.
Lexi tried to stop laughing, "Sorry... he... just...told...me somethin really funny." She said, finally calming down.
Nate smiled wide and shrugged.
Jessica sighed, "Well, want to go to Dairy Queen?" She asked, hopefully.
"Dairy Queen? AT 11:30 Pm?" Lexi snorted.
Jessica felt a little taken aback and she murmered, "Its open 24/7..."
"Yeah, she's right. Come on, Lex." Nate encourged lexi, making Jessica smile warmly at him.
"Well..I guess. I'm sort of craving for an oreo blizzard." Lexi giggled awkardly.
The quickly ran through the night to their local Dairy Queen. Lexi and Nate stopped at one point,
making Jessica turn back, "Why ya guys stopping?" She asked.
"I'm cold." Lexi shivered. Nate took off his jacket and wrapped it around Lexi. Lexi smiled cheerfully at him and leaned towards his lips.
Jessica's heart dropped and she couldn't bare to watch as they shared their first kiss. She looked towards the bright Dairy Queen sign glowing in the night and yelled, "Hurry up, guys."
Lexi and Nate deattached, Lexi blushing, and Nate looking embarressed knowing that Jessica had noticed.
Lexi took Nate's hand and they rejoined Jessica to Dairy Queen.
-
Lexi mostly stared at Nate the whole time in Dairy Queen. Jessica mostly stared at Nate the whole time in Dairy Queen as well.
Nate started to feel uncomfortable and started to make conversation, "So. Jessica Lopez right?" Nate asked.
"Yes!" Jessica smiled, happy he knew her WHOLE name.
"Cool. You have History 5th period right?" He replied.
"Yep. We have it together." Jessica smiled, cheerfully.
Lexi played with her spoon, mixing her blizzard all around. "That's cool."
Nate looked over at Lexi, "You tired?" He chuckled.
Lexi sighed and nodded, "Yep." She looked over at Jessica and gave her a look and then nodded again, "Jessica?" She murmered.
"Yeah, Lexi?" Jessica said, confused why Lexi was looking so miserable when just a few seconds she was smiling nonstop.
"Can you come to the bathroom with me?" Lexi asked, getting up from her seat.
"Why didn't you ask me?" Nate joked, his face dropping low.
"Because I didn't know you were a girl. K, whatever relationship we had is OVER." Lexi giggled, took his hat off his head and dragged Jessica to the bathroom.
Once they were inside, Lexi looked in the mirror, adjusting Nate's hat on her head while speaking,
"Jessica, I miss being friends. I know your all popular and stuff. And I'm all THAT quiet girl but whats wrong with what people think of us being friends?"
"Lexi. You are not THAT quiet girl. Don't you see the way boys look at you? Your pratically dating Nate Watson! Lexi, i really miss being your friend too. I dont care what people think anymore.
I miss our friendship. Now that Abbie's gone...My popular status has dropped. If it wasn't for Abbie, I would never have been one of the IT girls. I sort of wish I never became one of them because I was away from you." Jessica sighed, looking Lexi right in the eyes.
Lexi now began to dab a few tears away, "Oh Jessica. I'm so happy we could work this out. You don';t know how badly I missed you. Sitting in the cafeteria alone, was the worse thing ever." She sobbed and gave Jessica a tight hug.
Jessica hugged her back, now feeling tears spring to her eyes too, feeling really guilty. "I'm sorry I was such a bitch."
"No, I was the bitch. I could've stayed friends with you but I just hated Abbie so much." Lexi sighed.
Jessica pulled away and looked at Lexi, "No more about this. Lets just pretend nothing ever happened. Best friends forever? And this time I PROMISE." She slightly smiled, holding up her pinky finer.
Lexi smiled back, putting her own pinky up, "Through thick and thin. I promise." She murmered,
and locked her pinky with Jessica's.
