A/N: I'm back from my long vacation. This is going to be a long chapter; I promise it will be at least 1,000 words. I hope you like this chapter it's the rest of the date and the aftermath of it.
We arrive at the ice cream parlor called The Cream. It was bursting at the seams, as usual. It may sound a little bit strange but apparently this is "The Hangout Place" in this town, or at least that's what Wanda told me.
I order the kind birthday cake and chocolate while Jared gets moose tracks and vanilla. Jared, of course, paid for them, even I wanted to pay for my own but he insisted on buying it. We sit down at a table for two towards the back by the window. He pulls out my chair for me and then goes sits in his own.
"Thanks." I said, blushing a little. He gives me one of those smiles that make my heart beat just a little bit faster than normal. This just made me blush even more. I take a bite of my ice cream and it just melts in my mouth. I can definitely see why this is "The Hangout Place" of the town; it tastes amazing, it's not that expensive, and the place has some kind of homey ring about it.
"Do you like your ice cream?" Jared asked me just before he took a big bite himself.
"Do I like it? I love it!" I exclaim. He chuckles a little bit to himself. I eat another spoonful of ice cream feeling the same way as the first one.
"I thought you say something like that." Jared admitted smiling just a bit.
"Oh yeah. Why do you think that is? Is it because you know me so well?" I tease as I place my elbow on the table and lean towards him.
"Yeah, that's it." Jared said.
"Well, if you know me that good, then what's my favorite color?" I question.
"Yellow." He replies so confidently I couldn't help but laugh. "That's not right, is it?"
"Nope, not even close." I manage to say through a laugh. "Looks like you don't know me as well as you thought."
"I guess not." He says pretending to be sad. I take another bite of ice cream smiling.
"Do you want to know what it actually is?" I asked.
"Sure." He says.
"My favorite color is a tie between mint green and turquoise. What's yours?" I tell him.
"Brown… just kidding, its red." He answers.
For the rest of the date we eat or ice cream and ask each other questions about ourselves. I learned that his favorite food is pizza, his favorite animal is a shark, his favorite season is summer, his favorite subject is math, and a bunch more things like that. When we were done, he drove me back home and walked me to my door.
"I had a good time tonight." I say as we came to the door.
"Yeah, me too." He said. He raises his hand and places it on my cheek and slowly leaned his head down to kiss me. The whole world seemed to stop and it felt as if we were the only people on the planet. I didn't know how long the kiss lasted but it was the best moment in my life and I was sad when it came to a stop.
"I'll see you at school on Monday." He said as he turned and walked to his car.
"Yeah, okay." I reply back. I could that I was blushing and it was probably was bright red, but I didn't even care. I walked inside and got ready for bed. I went to sleep dreaming of Jared and that brilliant kiss.
The weekend passed by fast. I did all my homework and did my chores but I couldn't really focus on anything because I could only think about Jared and the kiss. The date was perfect. From me losing at bowling to him dropping me off and kissing me.
By the time school arrived on Monday I was on cloud-nine. No one could ruin my mood… well only one person could and she just happens to be walking in my direction right now. As she passed me she bumped into my shoulder causing me to drop all of my books. I hurried to pick up my books and get to my first class. I ran into Wanda on my way there.
"Hey Melanie." She said.
"Hi Wanda." I replied.
"How did your date go with Jared? I hope you had a good time." She added.
"It was amazing. Don't worry I'll tell you everything about it in art. But I don't think Lacey is very happy about it." I assumed.
"Oh, yeah. She told me about the break-up. But don't worry about her, she may seem very mad and upset about it but she'll get over it very fast. I'm surprised she's even this upset, I mean she was cheating on Jared with Aaron." Wanda stated and then her eyes got really huge like she said something she wasn't supposed to.
"Wait, what? Lacey was cheating on Jared… and with Aaron?" I questioned.
"Umm, yeah. But please don't tell anyone. Lacey would kill me if she knew I told anyone, especially you." Wanda pleaded.
"What about Jared? He deserves to know about this." I said.
"Yeah he does. I just don't know how to tell him." Wanda said looking down at her feet. "Well, I have to get to class." Wanda started walking away really fast. Melanie couldn't believe that Wanda knew about this and didn't tell Jared.
Her classes went by in a blur. She couldn't focus on anything but what Wanda said. So when it was time for lunch Melanie didn't know what to do.
Jared was waiting for her by her locker. After she put her books away it was her turn to walk hand-in-hand with Jared to the cafeteria. She bought her food and sat between Jared and Brandt. When Aaron sat down she could barely look at him. She tried to just pay attention to Jared and the conversation that was being talked between them.
Lacey POV:
Look at her, being happy, sitting where is should be sitting, holding the hand that I should be holding. God, she looks so happy. Well if I have anything to do with her I'll make her the complete opposite. And trust me I will have something to do with her.
A/N: I hope you really liked this chapter. This should be the only time I switch POV's but you never know. Review and tell your ideas of what Lacey should do to Melanie. This story only has a couple of chapters left. Oh, also review and tell me if you want an epilogue or not.
