I figure, it's been two years, may as well post twice.

I didn't understand why Jade was so mad at me... She's cancelled on our plans before, why shouldn't I be able to do the same while remaining innocent. I know Jade doesn't like Maya. Practically every day she talks about how she's dull and uninteresting and idiotic. She's not. Maya's a sweet girl. She transferred half way through the year and had so much trouble that now she has to take summer school. Math isn't her favorite subject, to put it lightly.

I was never a math wiz, myself. However, Jade had been tutoring me for years, and I quickly became an A- student without having to try. I couldn't turn Maya down like this, but at the same time, I feel awful about ditching Jade. She said she'll be there anyway...

I studied with Maya for a while, but I could see she'd be fine. Maya had asked me out a few weeks beforehand. I was used to this at that point, but she was really sweet, so I figured... why not? The problem seemed to be that she was kind of... well, she was sort of... boring.

As much as I hated to admit it Jade was right... again. Not that she needed another confidence boost to add to her big head.

That was rude of me, I know better than anyone else that the real Jade, behind her image isn't cocky like that...

"Um Beck?" Maya said, interrupting my thoughts.

"Yeah, Maya? What's up?"

"I don't know, you just seem very distracted. Are you alright? Can I get you a snack or something?" I was touched at her care.

I smiled at her. "Maya that's completely unnecessary. I just blew off plans with Jade tonight and I think she might be mad at me."

Maya's face hardened at the sound of Jade's name. I knew she didn't like her just about as much asJade didn't like Maya. I mean, Maya didn't know the real Jade, she thought that I was making a mistake by subjecting myself to her.

"Well, if you want, just go..." Maya said, sadly. This girl was everything Jade wasn't. She was selfless, and outwardly kind, and it was boring me out of my mind... but I couldn't just ditch Maya...

"Well, Jade was planning on going to Lazer Tag, would you mind coming with me?"

I saw Maya's face light up at my offer. "I'd love to."


When we arrived at Lazer Tag I immediately scanned the room for my blue-streaked best friend.

I almost gave up when I noticed her on line, waiting to get into the play-area... standing next to a tall blond guy who... had his arm around her? I immediately was overcome with a strange feeling, one I hadn't felt in years. I didn't quite understand it but all I knew was that my friend was in trouble.

I forgot about Maya and rushed over to Jade and this guy. When I got over there, though, I realized that I had no idea what to say. I cleared my throat to get their attention and Jade turned around, without the guy's arm leaving her. She looked surprised to see me, then she looked over at my shoulder and her gaze hardened.

"Hey... you okay?" I said, my eyes flitting back and forth between her and this guy.

"I'm fine... What are you doing here?" She replied, cooly.

"You said that... So I figured I'd come..."

"Oh, you though I was being sincere? Ha. No. But since your here, why don't you and your little girl friend wait on line to join the other team?" Again, her cold politeness both shocked and disturbed me. She was never like this with me." I called Maya over and we waited... and I watched.

I threw my phone against a wall.

I couldn't believe he was going to blow me off like that. But whatever. Screw him. I don't need that jerk to have a good time. I'm Jade West, if he thinks for one second that he controls my life he is mistaken.

With that I grabbed my phone and keys and drove to Lazer Tag myself. When I walked in to buy my ticket... I realized that going to Lazer Tag by yourself is... awkward. But I wasn't alone for long.

"Hey Gorgeous" I heard from behind me. I turned around to look up at a sandy haired guy... the kind that you know is a jerk from one look. Usually I refused to play games with these guys, but hey, one guy blew me off tonight, may as well have a little fun.

"Hello to you too. I'm Jade."

"Eli. What brings you here?"

"I like shooting stuff." I told him, honestly. He looked a bit taken aback by my response, but also kind of entertained by me.

"I like that." He started to flirt with me and well, I flirted back, pretty shamelessly. Hey, if Beck was gonna ditch me for some skank, why shouldn't I have some fun with this guy. This went on for a while and eventually I gave him my number... well, it was a fake, but hey, he wasn't gonna know that. All of a sudden I heard someone clear his throat. I was shocked when I turned around and saw Beck, and I started to feel guilty about Eli, he had started to get comfortable with me, and had put his arm around my shoulders. But then I started fuming when I realized he brought her.

"Hey... you okay?" He said, his eyes flitting back and forth between Eli and I. I realized that I could make him mad.

"I'm fine... What are you doing here?" I replied, as cooly as I could manage.

"You said that... So I figured I'd come..." He sputtered.

"Oh, you though I was being sincere? Ha. No. But since your here, why don't you and your little girl friend wait on line to join the other team?" At least I could beat him tonight, and that little twit on his arm.

I was confused, this guy wasn't the type that Jade usually did anything with other than scare them. I didn't like this, not at all. Jade and the guy joined the red team, and I obeyed her wishes so that Maya and I ended up on the green team. When we got in their I made it my mission to take down this A-Hole. I didn't even know why I had to... I just did.

As the fight began I ran and found the guy trying to shoot some little kid. That figures... I started shooting at him from above so he wouldn't see me coming. I was doing pretty well until he found me, I ran back to the base to find Jade finishing off Maya. I was able to sneak past them and reload my weapon before getting back to destroying this guy. I almost did it, too. I almost destroyed him. That was when she got me. Jade. She had found my hiding spot.

I tried to get the guy but I was too late. Jade killed me.
