Jade's POV:
"I Can't Believe We Made It!"
Allison yelled while jumping on her bed like a little kid.
"I
Know!" I yelled but not as loud as she did, "Now calm down, I
mean seriously, you're yelling louder than Tatiana!" I said
pulling her down to sit normally.
"Sorry," she said sounding
a little embarrassed, "I just can't help it, I never thought I
would make it through to the next round." She now said in a calm
voice.
"Well, neither did I," I said honestly, "but I'm
really glad I made it along with Adam." I said and then froze.
"What do you mean Adam; did you forget about me and Kris?"
She said looking me straight in the eye with a curious look on her
face.
"No! Of course not! It's just that I, uhh, had to take
a breath and when I was going to say Kris and you, you started to
talk." I said making me sound truthful. I was really hoping she
would buy it.
"Is that the best excuse you can come up with? I
mean I might be 16 but I know about crushes, and I can figure out
when someone is lying or not."
"It's not an excuse it's
the truth!"
"Oh My God!" she yelled suddenly happy again.
"You like Adam!!"
"What?! No I Don't!"
"Denial,
that's the first stage…" she said trying to sound smart. "You
totally like Adam! I can't believe this, I mean at first I thought
that you liked each other, but then I thought you were just friends,
and now I know the real story! Just admit it, and if you don't that
will mean you're embarrassed and that is also another stage!"
"Well
since you're my friend, I'll be honest and tell you. Me and Adam…
ARE JUST FRIENDS!!"
"Oh ya sure you are, listen I'm young,
loud and never stop talking. I can keep on bugging you about this for
the rest of your life."
"Fine for the sake on my not doing
suicide, I'll say it. I like Adam, there happy?"
"Even
though you sound like you don't like him, I know you like him.
C'mon Jade, were both close friends and I promise not to tell him,
cross my heart!" She said truthfully.
"Ok, fine," I finally
gave in, "I kind of like Adam, I mean he's been really sweet to
me, but one thing for sure, I'm not going to date him."
"Well
why not?"
"That's not important, now can we please get some
sleep, we have to get ready for group week starting tomorrow and from
what I've seen on T.V, I'm going to need all the sleep I can
get." I begged her.
"Ok, fine, good night!" she said closing
the lights and getting under her blanket."
"Good night." I
replied and for some reason fell right asleep, usually it would take
me about an hour.
Adam's POV:
After dropping off the girls in their room, we made our way to ours. The second I closed the door of our hotel room, I locked it, looked Kris straight in the eye which kind of scared him, and started asking some questions.
"How the hell did you know?" I asked
practically yelling at him.
"Know what?" Kris said with a smug
look on his face.
"That whole thing with Katrina, you know
about me having someone in mind!"
"Oh, that." Kris said with
a huge grin on his face, "c'mon man, I might be a guy but I know
when a dude likes someone."
"Ok fine, but I have some
questions."
"Shoot!"
"Just to make sure I know who
you're talking about, who do you mean? How long have you known? How
do you know? Did you tell anyone? And finally, why did you have to
mention it at that time?" I asked as if he was a suspect in a
crime.
"I'm talking about Jade, I've known ever since I
first saw you guys talking, I know because you always look at her in
this weird way, you always try and help her out, and you are always
hugging her every chance you get. I didn't tell anyone so calm
down, and well I mentioned it then because it never really came up
until then."
"Oh, well good answers, just promise me you'll
never tell her."
"Don't worry man, I promise." He said in
his humble voice.
"Thanks, and that reminds me, what was up
with that whole Katrina thing; I mean she is starting to like, freak
me out and stuff!" I said just to change the subject.
"I'm
not really sure why she came up to us, but she obviously thinks that
were both hot!"
"Well, at least she's got good taste!" I
said, and we laughed a little.
Kris noticed that I wasn't
laughing as much as I should and decided it's time to ask me some
question instead.
"What's wrong man? Doesn't it feel good to
get that whole Jade thing off of your chest?"
"Well ya, but
that's the problem."
"What do you mean?" He asked seeming
really confused.
"Promise you went tell anyone this?"
"Promise,
now tell me?"
"Ok, the truth is… I'm gay…" I said
sadly because that meant Jade would never date me.
"Really?" I
nodded, "So, I'm guessing that because your gay, you think that
Jade won't date you?" I nodded again. It was like Kris was a mind
reader. He always said the right stuff! "Man I think your
exaggerating, Jade would never hate you because your gay, that's
something you should trust me on." For some reason I did trust
him.
"Ya I guess you're right. Well anyway, let's get some
sleep."
"Ya your right, we got to get ready for group week.
Good night."
"Good night." Kris said yawning and then
falling fast asleep. I never knew how he did that, he would just fall
asleep, meanwhile I would toss and turn until I would finally fall
asleep after 1 hour. I knew I had to sleep a lot to get ready for
group week so I copied Kris and fell asleep in less than 30 minutes.
