Chapter 3

Jennifer P.O.V.

"Jen," my mom said, "I'm just going to do some errands, and you're dad is at work. Are you sure you'll be alright staying alone?"

"Mom," I moaned, "I'm seventeen years old, I can take care of myself. Please stop being so overprotective."

"Okay, love," she said as she kissed my forehead.

"Ouch!" I yelped in pain, "Not there!"

"Aw I'm sorry," she cringed as she left my room.

A few minutes later I felt my phone vibrate. I opened up the text message

Jenny, please answer. I have to talk to you. I miss you so much it hurts.

-Joe

I quickly deleted the message and put down my phone.

"Forget about him, Jen!" I thought to myself.

But I couldn't help it, I loved him too much. I began to shed tears again.

Rodrick P.O.V.

I drove my van down the block to Jennifer's house, with flowers in my hand. Chicks love gifts from guys, so I figured that this would make her fall in love with me. I couldn't wait to see her gorgeous face again. As I walked up to her doorstep, I began rehearsing what I was going to say.

Jennifer P.O.V.

I washed all the tears from my face in the bathroom, and told myself to get it together. I had to find another guy to fall in love with to get over Joe. It was for my own good.

I heard someone knocking at the door. I quickly ran down the stairs to answer it.

"Hi, Jennifer," smiled Rodrick as I opened the door, "How are you doing?"

"I-I'm f-fine, th-thanks," I stuttered. I was so lost in his eyes that I didn't know what to say.

"Um, I got you these," he revealed the flowers that he was hiding behind his back, "To make you feel better."

I gasped and smiled, "Rodrick, you shouldn't have! You're so sweet!"

I gave him a hug.

Rodrick P.O.V.

I wrapped my arms around her and took a quick sniff at her hair.

It smelled amazing…

She released her arms from me, I saw that she was blushing and looking down.

Oh my gosh, I think she likes me.

"So, how's your head?" I asked in concern, looking up at her bruise.

"Oh," she said, "The doctor said it's just a minor bruise, it'll go away quickly."

"That's great," I smiled, "Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"So, my whole family and I are going to a skating rink later. It's some event that they're holding for the seventh graders. My parents are making me go, and I don't wanna be alone over there. I need a good friend with me. Wanna come?"

"Sounds like fun," she smiled, "What time should I be at your house?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I'll text you later when I find out."

She held out her hand, "Give me your phone, I'll put my number in."

I handed my cell phone to her, and she started to put her number into my contacts list. I was staring at her the whole time.

My god, she was so beautiful.

She handed the phone back to me, "See you later, Rodrick."

She winked at me and closed the door.

I looked down at my phone. She put in her number and saved her name as "Jenny."

I did a huge grin and started jumping up and down in joy. Everything was going according to the plan.

Five Hours Later…

Jennifer P.O.V.

Be at my house in 30 minutes, cutie :)

-Rodrick

I smiled and laughed. He was so adorable.

I quickly put on some skinny jeans and a dark blue tank top. I went to the bathroom to straighten my hair, and after that, I put on some eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss. I also put concealer on my forehead, to make my bruise less obvious.

I walked downstairs and saw my parents eating at the kitchen table.

"Hey honey," said my mom, "where are you going?"

"I'm just going out to the skating rink a few blocks away from here," I replied, "A friend asked me to hang out."

"Cool, just don't stay out too late."

"I know! Bye guys!"

"Bye Jen," my parents said.

I walked out the door.

Greg P.O.V.

Rowley and I were waiting for my parents to get ready. We were leaving for the skating rink in a few minutes.

Rodrick and my mom walked down the stairs. Rodrick was wearing jeans, a Loded Diper shirt, and black converse sneakers. He sprayed my dad's cologne on his neck. That was unusual. I wondered why he did that.

"Hey mom," said Rodrick, "I invited Jennifer to come with us, is that alright?"

Oh, that's why.

"Oh, of course," my mom smiled, "You know what, Rodrick? She is so sweet! She's the kind of person who you should be friends with!"

"Just friends?" I giggled. I knew that Rodrick really liked Jennifer.

Rodrick gave me a mean look, but I just laughed.

"Who's Jennifer?" Rowley whispered.

"She's the hot new girl in the neighborhood!" I replied.

The doorbell rang. Rodrick screamed, "I'll get it!"

Just as Rodrick opened the door, he gave Jennifer a huge hug and carried her by her arms into the house.

"I missed you so much!"

Jennifer began laughing hysterically, "I missed you too, even though I saw you like six hours ago!"

"You look great," Rodrick said as he put her down.

"Thank you," she smiled.

I turned to Rowley and saw his jaw hanging open.

"She's cute right?" I whispered.

"Yeah," he said, his eyes fixed on Jennifer, "What the heck does she see in him?"

My dad walked down the stairs and threw Rodrick the keys to the car.

"Rodrick," he said, "Me and your mom will be ready in a few minutes. Just start the car, and can I trust you to NOT hit poor Jennifer again?"

Rodrick and Jennifer began laughing, and they both went outside to get the car ready.

30 minutes later…

Jennifer P.O.V.

Rodrick and I found a table in the corner where we could talk. Just now, I noticed his shirt with the letters, Loded Diper, written across it.

"What's Loded Diper?" I asked him, pointing at his shirt.

"Oh," he said, "I'm in a band, it's called Loded Diper. I'm the drummer. We play so loud, that we make people's eardrums bleed."

"Nice," I smiled.

Suddenly, two boys that looked about the same age as us sat down next to Rodrick.

"What's up, man?" One of them screamed.

"Nothing," said Rodrick, looking annoyed, "listen dude, I'm busy can you leave me alone for a while?"

"Who's your friend?" The other one asked, winking at me.

Both of them did the wolf whistle. You know? That whistling noise that people make when they see someone hot? Yeah, that one.

"Hey baby, how about you hang out with us?"

"LEAVE NOW!" Rodrick yelled, as he pushed the two boys of their chairs. They eventually ran off.

Rodrick laughed, "It looks like you have some admirers. But sorry about them, they can be jerks sometimes."

"It's alright," I giggled, "It's just good to know that you're always there for me."

I saw his cheeks turn a little bit red.

All of a sudden, we heard a slow song play on the rink, and couples were dancing. The lights were dimmed.

"Jennifer," Rodrick said as he took my hand, "Will you skate with me?"

"Um, I don't know how to skate," I replied.

"Come on, I'll teach you," he said as he pulled me out of my chair.

We put on roller skates and he took my hand into the rink. I lost balance and he was holding me and trying to help me.

We were both laughing and having fun, until I really lost balance and landed right on top of him, in a weird position (if you know what I mean). I quickly got up and regained my balance.

We were skating for a while, and then he decided to spill his heart out to me.

"My god you're beautiful," he smiled as he looked into my eyes.

I blushed and felt my face turn red.

"Jennifer," he said in a serious tone, "I've been wanting to tell you something."

"What is it?" I replied.

"I really like you, I fell in love with you the second I saw you."

He was so sweet, and I was going to be honest with him.

"I really like you, too." I replied.

I hugged him and cuddled into his chest, and he wrapped his arms around me. I heard his heart beating fast. I wanted this to last forever, it was amazing.

But I knew one thing was for sure. I was totally over Joe, because I found someone a million times better.
