A/n: I do not own the Clique.

Due to college, work, and my personal life I will not update this story ever single day but don't worry I am not taking a break from it either. I will update when I have free time to and when I become very inspired to write which may be during a hetic time or a relax time it all depends. Thanks for the reviews everyone!

Love,

It has been a month since Derrick and I went on our date and I can't say that it was horrible but it just didn't feel right either. Luckily for me though the date had brought Derrick to his senses that we shouldn't go back out with each other. A lot has happened since we dated and we have both changed and moved on.

"Are you ever going to talk to me again?" I asked Kemp as he walked ahead of me towards our art class room. Ever since my date with Derrick, Kemp hasn't been the same and now he doesn't even talk to me anymore.

I don't get it, I mean three years ago he was fine with using me as bet when we were dating but now all of sudden I can't go on dates with other guys even though we are not a couple? Boys, I don't think I will ever understand them.

"Fine Kemp have it your way like you always do," I said as I had a tantrum in front of the other students that walked by to their next class, but at that point I really didn't care what people thought of me. All I wanted was for Kemp to acknowledge me and when he didn't, I had no choice but to walk away. "I guess I'll go find a new best friend since you hate me now. And to think I thought you were different but I was so wrong. You are the same old Kemp."

I didn't feel like going to art class or yet alone to school at all after that spat I had with Kemp so instead I walked out of school and drove home. My mom was there as usual, but she could tell by my face that something was wrong. I don't know how to tell her that I don't love Derrick and that deep down I still love Kemp because my parents have always hated Kemp.

"Do you think that you really can just fall out of love with someone?" I asked her because I need to know if this is just a phase with Kemp or if my feelings for him are the real deal. I had come to the realization that I was still in love with Kemp on my date with Derrick and he realized that he loved someone else as well.

Flashback:

Derrick had taken me out to eat at Slice of Heaven because it was the first date that we had gone on with each other, but it was also the first place that I met Kemp at. 'Ugh I shouldn't be thinking of Kemp right now' I thought to myself because it isn't fair to Derrick.

"Mass, I think that this date has shown me that we aren't the same people we were before." Derrick said as we waited for the check to come to the table. The rest of the time before we hadn't really talked about anything really except for the weather and school, but those aren't the topics you should be talking about with your date.

"I know what you mean. We were so in love before, but people change," I told him the truth of how I felt but I left out the bit that during our whole entire date, I couldn't stop thinking about Kemp. "Derrick, why did Kristen go to California to see you? I really am curious to know the truth." I didn't mean for it spill out like that but deep down I have always wanted to know.

"I asked Kristen to come to California because I wanted to know-no I need to know how you were handling the break up," Derrick paused and looked me directly in the eye and if this were three years ago then this would have been the part where we would have fallen madly in love with each other. "I didn't ask you because I knew you would never want to speak to me again. I didn't know it back then but now I do, that is when I started to fall for Kristen but now she is with Cam." I felt sorry for Derrick because the girl he is in love with is in love with his best friend. If it had been three years ago then I would have been pissed at Derrick but I have grown up.

"Oh I see and Derrick sorry that for keeping you away from Kristen for so long," I said which surprised Derrick because I never apologized to anyone for anything even if it was my fault. Derrick's eye-brows furrowed together as he tried to make sense of what I am trying to say. "If I had known that I was still in love with Kemp all this time then you could have snagged Kristen before Cam did." It was the honest truth.

Derrick paid for the bill and we left our old hang out spot with a new outlook on the past. Derrick and I seemed as if we were forced together while Kemp and I seemed as if we were meant to be together naturally. I want to help Derrick but it is useless because Kristen won't talk to me and she and Cam are so in love with each other. It is the kind of love that no one will ever be able to break up.

End of Flashback:

"I don't think you ever do fully fall out of love with someone, but you do learn how to live your life without them in it," My mother told me her opinion on love and it does seem to be true because I did date Derrick and during the time I never thought about Kemp. However deep down there was a part of me that felt as if something was missing. "Now sweetie, why are you asking me this question?" that was the question I was dreading for her to ask.

"Mom, I think that I may still be in love with Kemp." I said as my voice shook because I was scared of how she would react to the truth. At the same time however I felt as if it shouldn't be a huge deal to her because of the fact that Kemp and I dated for so long.

"Honey, I don't think that you are the only one that still loves the other. Kemp has changed a lot since the last time you dated him and I think it is because of you." My mother said certain that she was right about the whole situation. I didn't expect her to say that and yet again, I didn't expect her to be so calm when I told her that I love Kemp.

If my mother is right and Kemp still does love me and I am the reason of why he has changed then I am so incredibly stupid. I should have known that Kemp still loved me, I mean for Christ sakes he flirted with me in art class all the time. I know why he doesn't talk to me now, it is because of the fact that I went on a date with Derrick! That's it he thinks that Derrick and I are getting back together because I didn't have the time of day to tell him about our date.
