A/N: hey if any yall have any story ideas you want wrote send them to me and ill see what i can do :)

Showing up the next morning by myself I tried to locate Jana before classes started. I didn't know if she would even go along with this. I don't want to make her think I'm just using her. I found her oddly enough in the dark room.

Ok, now or never.

"Hey, Jana,"I could hear my own voice shaking,"what are you doing in here? I thought you hated it in here."

"It's better than putting up with people you can't stand." She answered with a bit of a snarl.

Walking over, I sat next to her trying to get comfortable. I swallowed so I could find my voice.

"So if I asked you a favor whats the chances you'd actually help me?" I asked.

"Depends on what you ask, so spit it out." She practically yelled.

"Ok, ok. Would you go to the dance with me? As friends?"

"No, I dont want to go at all." She said shaking a bit.

"You wont actually have to go then. Just tell people your going with me. Wait why don't you wanna go?"I questioned.

"Fine. I was hoping a certain person would ask me and they havent showed no signs of doing so." She seemed so hopeless.

Thats when the bell decided to ring signaling the start of class.

"Lets go." I through my arm over her shoulders and we walked into class. I could feel eyes watching our every movement. A part of me wanted to look and see if one of them was Maddy's but I refused to look.

I wonder who Jana wanted to go with? Why didn'tshe just ask them instead? She was usually confident enough to do such things.

Taking my seat next to Maddy, I looked over and smiled, she smiled also but it didn't seem to reach her eyes.

When Jefferies finally told us to work with our partners until the end of class I turned to Maddy to speak, "So what you got planned for this weekend? Wanna hang out at my house, Mrs. Vaughn is doing this movie night thing and she said I could invite a friend."

"I don't think I can make it. Dean and I are going out."she replied flatly not even bothering to look at me. Which in the end was good cause I didn't need her to see the mixture of pain,anger and hatred in my eyes.

Maybe we should see how good Dean is without his legs. Or better yet his hands so he can keep them off of MY girl.

"Jana wanted to come over anyway. Mrs. Vaughn said one of ya could spend the night so that will work out well." I wanted to make her angry or hurt one I wasn't sure which. She couldn't see the black veins running up and down my arms because she wouldnt look up but I could see the ones in her hands turning jet black too.

Maybe I could get Jana to tell me who it os she wants to go to the dance with.

We worked on our assignment by ourselves after that until the bell rang signaling the end of class. As I gathered my stuff Maddy ran out of the class before Shannon could reach her so she waited on me instead. Shannon, Janna, Tom, and I hung out while waiting on our next class to start.

"Jana," I said getting her attention,"you wanna come over this weekend for a movie night?"

"Sure, Rhydian." She smiled. Then I noticed she looked longingly at Tom but quickly turned away before anyone could see.

Ah!

"Students please take your seats." The teacher asked. Well lets see what Shannon and Tom have to say at lunch.
