It had been two weeks, school was slow and I had made a few friends along the way. Michelle and Crystal, they were a little bit different like I am. We all decided that we wanted to go get something to eat at the local dinner along with Sarah and her friend Ashley.

As we walked through the door I noticed Jeff and his buddies there seemed to be a few more added to his group. He looked up and me and smiled, that smile seemed to take my breath away. I smiled a little shyly at him as we walked by him and his friends to our table. Who in the world wouldn't be shy with Jeff Hardy smiling at them?

"So what is with Jeff Hardy smiling at you?" Michelle asked.

"Seriously he seems to be looking over here at you a lot." Crystal told me.

"I don't know, I have only met him once and that was only at the bowling alley," I told them.

"His cute, different from most of the guys we go to high school with," Crystal said.

"Yea, well all of the guys in school are almost a year younger than me, and there is the fact that I know he's not going to be interested in me because he is older than I am. He's what 25 or 26 years old. What would I guy his age want with someone my age?" I asked them.

"Well you never know some men like younger women, makes them feel younger" Michelle told me.

I couldn't help but laugh at them, what would someone his age want with someone my age, along with someone still in high school.

"You know he keeps looking over here" Michelle told me.

"Maybe he wants to be friends or something, it's not like we could go out partying and drinking" I told them.

"I don't know you may be under age but he could still party with you," Crystal told me.

"Yea, I can see it now him dropping me back off at home with drunk as hell. My parents would just love that," I told them.

"Yea, yea or could always call one of us and have us cover for you and stay with him," Crystal told me.

"You guys are crazy," I told them laughing.

"Well I guess we will find out since he seems to be walking over here," Michelle told me.

I looked up to see Jeff standing next our table smiling down at me. Him and that damn smile was going to get me in more trouble then I needed. To be honest I haven't even really thought of Jeff in the last two weeks, with trying to get caught up with school and making new friends.

"I see you have made some friends in town." Jeff said.

"Yea, I have seemed to make two friends at least." I told him. Followed by a thump, from Crystal kicked me under the table. I wish that I could have reached over and smacked her. I could hear Jeff laughing at us behind me. To say that I could not get more embarrassed was an understatement.

"How do you seem to like our small town?" he asked me.

"I really don't know, seems like any other town once you get use to it. Smaller and not as many people" I told him.

"Jeff we need to go!' His brother yelled at him.

"Well it seems like every time we try to talk with one another someone is yelling at us." He told me.

"Yea it seems so" I laughed with him.

"Well I'll see you around," he said grabbing my hand and putting something in it. He smiled once more and walked away.

"So what was that they he gave you?" Michelle asked.

"I don't know" I told them looking at the paper folded up in my hand.

"It's his number," my sister told them.

"So are you going to call him?" Michelle asked.

"I don't know maybe," I told them.

Later that night

I was sitting there later that night wondering if I really should even call him. I mean what if this was just some big joke and a good reason for him and his friends to make fun of me. There was no way that I was going to be someone's idea of a joke.

Next Day

"So did you call him?" Crystal asked.

"No, and I am not going to either. Why in the world would I want to be someone idea of a joke. I am a 19 year old high school student what in the world would he want with me" I asked them.

"I think that you are looking to much into" Crystal told me.

"I don't maybe she's right, he does have a girlfriend Beth remember." Michelle said.

"I thought that they broke up?" Crystal asked.

"See it was all a joke" I told them walking away. I knew it was a joke; he wanted to make me the butt of his joke with his stupid buddies. The dude has a girlfriend as it was. I swear next time I see the guy I really thinking about just going off on him. Who does he think he is trying to do that to someone?

Later that night

I was trying to get some homework done so that I could go out with my friends this weekend; my parents had gone into town. I was trying to figure out the stupid answer to a math question when my cell phone started ringing. When I looked to see the number it seemed to be private.

"Hello?" I asked

"So why haven't you called me?" the male voice asked.

"Who is this"

"Who do you think" the male voice laughed.

"How did you get my number?" I asked knowing it was Jeff.

"Your friend Crystal, I saw her in town and she stopped me and gave me your number" he told me.

"Why did you give me your number, when you already have a girlfriend? What in the world would you want anything to do with me? Was I some kind of joke for you and your buddies to get a kick out of? Some high school girl calling some older guy…"

"Wait you think this is a joke?"

"Yea you in your 20's and what would you want with a 18 year old girl?"

"Friendship, plus I thought you said you was 19."

"I said I was almost 19"

"There is nothing wrong with wanting to be friends"

"Seems to be out of no were, you have only talked to me twice and it wasn't even for 5 minutes."

"That's why I gave you my number" he said laughing.
