Jeff smiled at the former diva, "I can't believe Jack had the nerve to call you a bitch."

"I know!" Maria glanced at Jack and Candice talking in a corner.

"Anyway, what are you doing this Friday night?" Jeff smiled.

Maria looked back at Jeff and smiled, "Um, nothing."

"Do you wanna hang out or something?" Jeff asked, biting his lip.

Maria smiled big, "Oh, sure!"

Jeff smiled, "Cool, I'll see you later!" He gave her a hug and quickly walked off.

Candice walked back over to Maria, "Hey."

"Hey, how'd it go with…that thing?" Maria said looking at Jack.

Candice shrugged and looked at Maria.

Maria hugged Candice and glared at Jack.

Melina was sitting in the gym during forth period when someone stood in front of her.

Melina looked up, "What do you want?"

"Look, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to leave you alone forever," Cody told her, "Yeah, you basically told me you hated me, so…yeah."

"Cody…" Melina stood up, "Look, I thought things over a—"

"Melina, I know, I know, I'm the biggest jerk on the planet, I've heard it all before…" Cody shrugged.

"What? Wait, let me finish!" Melina looked at him.

Cody sighed, "I don't think I can handle more insults from the girl I'm in love with, okay?"

"Cody! I love you!" Melina yelled.

Cody's mouth dropped open.

…

Randy shooting baskets when Candice and Maria walked in the gym. He tossed the basketball to his friend and walked over to them.

"Hey," He smiled at Candice, "Um, sis, can you go over there so I can talk to Candice in private?"

Maria smiled, "Do I have much of a choice?" She gave Candice a quick hug and walked to the other side of the gym.

"So…" Candice looked down at her feet.

Randy looked around and then back at her, "I'm really sorry, I didn't you know, mean to mess things up with you and Jack."

"No, it's totally fine, I mean he was a jerk anyway," Candice gave him a small smile.

Randy smiled back, "You sure? I feel really bad."

Candice smiled, "I'm positive!" She gave him a big hug.

Randy wrapped his arms around her and smiled.

…

Maria was busy playing with her cell when Trish walked up.

"Um, hi?" Maria said looking up at the blonde.

"I heard you're going on a date with Jeff this Friday," Trish put her hands on her hips.

Maria raised her eyebrows, "Yeah, I am."

"Bitch," She glared at the red-head, "He's going to do the same thing he did to me to you."

"Excuse me?" Maria glared back at her.

"He's going to convince you to have sex then dump your ugly ass!" Trish flipped her hair and walked off.

Maria felt her heart stop as she watched the blonde walk out of the gym.

…

AFTER SCHOOL

Candice walked inside her house and checked her cell. She had three new messages. All of them from Melina.

"Candi! OMG."

"Candi...ah..CALL ME."

"OMFG WHERE ARE YOU?"

Candice laughed and called Melina.

"Hello?" Melina answered quickly.

Candice smiled, "Hey wh-"

"I told Cody I loved him!" Melina screamed.

"You what?" Candice almost dropped the phone, "I thought you hated him?"

"No…it was all an act to try to get myself to hate him," Melina sighed, "I didn't just want to be another girl he had sex with and dumped."

"Awh, hun, why didn't you tell me this?" Candice laid down on her bed.

Melina bit her lip, "I didn't tell anyone. I mean I was trying not to like him, and then my big mouth ruined that."

"Well, what'd he say?" Candice replied.

Melina laughed a little, "He kinda just stood there in shock. Then the bell rang and I ran away…"

The Go-Daddy Girl smiled, "Oh, nice."

"Yeah, well, I gotta call Maria," Melina smiled, "I'll text you."

"Mkay, have fun, Cody Lover!" She hung up the phone before Melina could say anything.

…

Randy walked inside his sister's bedroom, "Hey, can I ask you something?"

Maria glanced up at her older brother, "Depends."

Randy plopped down on Maria's bean-bag chair, "Um…would you get mad if I told you I was basically in love with your best friend?"

Maria's eyes went wide, "You're in love with Candice? I knew it!"

"What? How could you have possibly known?" Randy raised his eyebrows.

"Psshh, I can't believe you just asked me that," Maria threw a pillow at Randy's head, "Anyway, no I wouldn't get mad. You two are adorable together."

Randy gave his sister a look, "You scare me sometimes."

"What the hell? I gave you a compliment, jackass!" Maria laughed.

Randy smirked, "Suuuree. Alright, just making sure." He threw the pillow back at Maria's head and walked out her room.
