jake waved his good byes and made promises of going with them as well as driving a couple of them. he looked for his locker and opened it, shoving all of his stuff in it except for the few things he needed for his classes before lunch. he closed and locked it. the boy stared at the locker and took a deep breath. he had his first class with jasmine. he shook his head and went to find his class. when he did, he noticed the name tags but made eye contact and nodded to the teacher before looking for his name. he quickly noticed jasmine already sitting and the name next to her was...

him? whoa. back up a step. she was his lab partner? oh goodness. she hated him. this was not going to work. he turned to protest the seating, but stopped as he opened his mouth. it was quickly shut. maybe he could make amends now. maybe he could bring out that girl who used to play with him in the tree house or the girl who rescued him from the wardrobe. jake adjusted the books in his arms and walked over to her. what to say?

"hey." wow. how lame was that? he was mister popular with the girls begging just to talk to him and he couldn't muster up something to say to jasmine. his eyes didn't meet her's as he sat down and placed his books on the table. "so, we are lab partners." what a conversation starter.

Jasmine looked up as Jake had walked into the room. Her eyes immediately dropped back down to her paper, her hair falling around her face like a halo. As Jake walked closer and sat down she closed her eyes, her heart thumping out of her chest. "hey" she heard him say and she looked up at him through her hair. He's just being nice don't be so naive "So I guess were lab partners" he added. Jasmine bit her lip and nodded "I guess so" she said in a hushed voice, unable to talk any louder from lack of talking to people. She looked back down at her drawing and shut her notebook not wanting to be rude. "So you um doing ok?" she asked in the same hushed tone as if she were telling him a secret. Why can't I just speak up. Tell him I have missed him? She asked herself Because he will think your a freak who is stuck in her past. Her mind felt like it was fighting her heart and she just wanted to pour out everything that was on her mind.

She blinked a few times still looking at the desk remembering one of there late night chats.

Jasmine sat alone waiting for Jake in tears. He had run up to her quietly and climbed up sitting next to her "What's wrong? What happened this time?" he asked in a worried voice "They got rid of him Jake, they got rid of Jasper" she said and started sobbing into his shoulder. Jasper was Jasmine's dog, her only friend at home that she could talk to when Jake wasn't there for her. "They said they were sending him to the pound and at school today, when I wasn't home they got rid of him" she sobbed into his shoulder. Jake had wrapped an arm around her trying to calm her down. They had sat there for an hour, her just crying into his shoulder as he shushed her and rocked her back and forth. When she stopped crying she sniffled looking up at him "Promise you will be here always" she said with a course voice. Jake had nodded "I will be here no matter what" he told her and hugged her close. After a while of saying nothing they both fell asleep in the tree house together, when her parents found them the next morning Jake's parents had come over and ripped him away from her.

To that day they hadn't talked, and that was over five years ago and he probably remembered none of it. A tear slipped down her face and she blinked coming back to the present. Jasmine wiped away the tears and the one that fell on her notebook and sniffled, looking up at the board trying to get her mind off of Jake



"I am not a dork and you know that sweetheart" he said finishing his bagel up. When she handed him the money back he sighed "Really Kace? I am paying you back and you won't take the money" he said with a mouthful and swallowed. "Ugh thats like no classes though. We have all my nap time classes together Kace" he said and grabbed her arm before she could get out of the car "We don't have to go today Kacey. Come on please? I wanna go on an adventure. A last day of freedom kinda thing!" he said and smiled at her. "Come on you know you wanna" he said letting go of her wrist and got out of the car. He walked around grabbing her hand and pulled her to his car and opened the passenger's side door "Your choice. You either come have fun with me or leave and go to boring school" he said and motioned from the door to the school. "One simple little choice" he said getting into the drivers seat. Under his seat was a necklace that was his mom, in a pretty little case. He planned on giving it to her today if she came with him. He gave her puppy dog eyes and faked a whimper "Please Kace? I got a picnic all packed up for the two of us" he said in a very childish voice

i guess so... so you, um, doing okay? he wanted to say no. he had all the friends anyone could ever want. he had it all, right? the one thing that mattered was sitting right next to him, untouchable. she was right there. right in reach. and yet he couldn't touch her. he wanted to make some comment about it. maybe 'no. i can have anything in the world, but i can't have the one thing that i truly want.' but then what would she think? it was cheesy, right? no, he would have to lie for now.

"ya. i guess." he said, almost a whisper. then he looked at her. she was crying. "hey, don't cry." he murmured before adding in a softer voice, "it doesn't suit you." oh no. that was one of his comforts the last time they talked. he looked at his books, hoping he spoke soft enough that she didn't catch the last sentence. he couldn't help it, but his eyes were full of pain and sorrow. he knew they were and refused to let jasmine see them. truth be told, he refused to let anyone see them right now.

his mind ran through every time they had comforted each other. the memories went in reverse chronological order, starting with the last time they talked five years ago. as he neared the end of the memories, he forced his mind to completely stop working. he couldn't remember that now. he couldn't think of it. he had to stay alert. he couldn't have a break down right in the middle of a class room.

Jasmine looked at him "It doesn't suit me?" she said shocked. "Who are you and where did my friend go?" she said and got up leaving her stuff on the desk. Jasmine said something to the teacher and they sighed letting her leave. Jasmine chocked back sobs as she left the classroom and slunk to the floor in tears. I'm stupid for thinking he was even the same person she thought to herself. She hugged her knees to her chest and bit her lip trying not to cry more. Her little bit of make up dripped down her face and she wiped it away on her arm What did he mean? That I look strong when he knows I'm not? That I am truly weak and he knows all my secrets and what happened in my life. I am a crier and I always have been. I always have needed someone and he knew that she thought and got up going to the nurses office.

Ten minutes later and after a lot of crying Jasmine walked back to the class room. She opened the door as quietly as she could and handed the teacher a note. She walked to her desk grabbing her things and bit back the tears. The nurse said to have someone drive her home and Jake was the only one who knew where she lived. She didn't bother looking at him "Can you drive me home?" she asked almost silently. She heard some snickers and sighed "forget about it" she mumbled and walked out the door with her stuff. She had left her notebook behind with all her drawings behind though. She wiped away on coming tears and sighed going to her locker. She rested her head against the cool metal door and closed her eyes.

After a few minutes Jasmine opened her eyes again and put her stuff in her bag. She looked in the tiny mirror noticing her face was no longer red and puffy from crying. And the rest of my worst year ever started today. she thought and took out her phone texting her mom to pick up aspirin and Dr. Pepper if she could

She smiled back at him. "Yes, really. Now take it," she said, her tone sounding playful, yet forceful. She heard him sigh when she read off the classes. Nap time? He could not nap for one class to talk to her? She shrugged it off, thinking nothing more about it. She had gotten into the car to get her phone, when Ryder grabbed her arm. She felt as if she had been kissed by an angel. She had gotten goosebumps at the very touch. He had pulled her out of the car, and led her to his car. She liked when he called her "Kace", as if they were a couple. He gave her a decision, school or freedom. She wanted to spend more time with him, but the school may call her parents, then she would be in deep trouble and would never be allowed out of the house. She wanted to go, and if her parents were not an issue, then it would be a no-brainer. She wanted to go along with him and never return. She wanted him to drive and they could be stargazing at night, hand in hand. She wanted him to pull her close and kiss her like he had never done before, but that would be too much. Plus, she didn't even know if he liked her as much as she did. If she proposed her love to him, would he be weirded out? Never speak to her again and pretend like he did not notice when she called his name? She took a step back. She was about to turn away, when it hit her. Maybe he did like her back? She turned around and embraced him. What she wanted to say was, I will follow you anywhere, but refrained. "Yes, of course I will."

it doesn't suit me? who are you and where did my friend go? he watched her leave he had been about to say your friend is still here. where is the girl i played with? he sighed and attempted to pay attention to the teacher, but his mind was too intent on her. suddenly the one memory he didn't want appeared in his mind in livid detail, like it was happening all over again.

they had just read the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. well, it had been read to them. there was a wardrobe in jake's room during that time, so, why couldn't there be narnia as well? jasmine had been over and, so, jake suggested they played hide-and-seek. when it was jake's turn to hide, he hid in the wardrobe. being a young arrogant child, he closed the doors completely. while in the darkness, he got wrapped up in a blanket and a couple articles of clothes somewhat like how he woke up today. he couldn't see, he could barely breath with the blanket over his mouth. he panicked but couldn't move. by the time jasmine opened the doors, jake had managed to get himself out of the trap, but he was breathing heavy and obviously panicked.

anytime jasmine asked about what happened, he would mumble something about finding narnia. he knew she knew he was not being serious, but this was the one thing he couldn't talk about.

in the real world, jake's lungs tightened and he was having a hard time forcing his heart to work. he was sweating underneath his clothes. his eyes were zoned on the open book on the desk, but they seemed to take in nothing. someone would have to know jake extremely well to notice these signs, but no one seemed to notice. can you drive me home? jasmine's voice pulled him out of his attack. he didn't hear the snickers, but he was heartbroken when she said, forget about it. how could he?

it was too late when he was able to move his head and body. she had left. that didn't stop him though, he stood up and collected his stuff as well as her notebook. he mumbled something to the teacher then walked out of the room, flipping quickly through the drawings. not wanting to be caught made him not take long or stop on a picture. he closed the notebook within a minute of opening it and went to her locker.

she was there. his heart fluttered with joy. he held out her notebook. "you forgot this and something else." he said. "i'll give you a ride home. it's only fair." his voice was still shaky from his moment of claustrophobia and he prayed she didn't notice. he wanted to make things right with her. fix all of his mistakes.

Jasmine jumped hitting her head off the shelf in her locker. "Ouch" she muttered and looked up at him. She took the notebook from his hands, her fingers brushing his lightly. Her heart began to race and she looked down "You don't have to. I know your reputation is important and I'm just some looser you shouldn't be seen with" she said quietly. She put the notebook in her bag and looked up at him "You're having an attack aren't you? To many people" she said and bit her bottom lip. "Don't think I don't remember Jake. I do. I remember that day" she said and her jaw clenched. "I remember almost all of them" she added quietly

She finished gathering her things and slung her bag over her shoulder. "If we're going to leave lets go. I have a headache" her voice cracked as she spoke. She sighed looking down at the ground hoping he hadn't seen the last of her pictures. In the very back on the cardboard. They were of them as little kids and he would probably think she was dwelling on the past. She wanted to hug him and cry into his shoulder and sit in the tree house and talk all night. She glanced back at him Later. she told herself



Ryder bit his lip when Kacey began walking and let out a sigh of relief as she started to walk back toward the car. He was a bit shocked when she embraced him, but hugged her back slightly. "Just shut the door and get in" he said with a chuckle and smiled poking her nose. "Lay low and they wont see ya. Trust me they don't bother with role call anymore" he said and peeled out of the parking lot and turned up his music. 'It Ends Tonight' by All-American-Rejects was playing and he bobbed his head up and down singing loudly, and awfully. When the song ended he turned down the music and glanced at her "I got you a present Kace, you have to wait a bit though" he said with a smile and turned his attention back to the road

her light touch as she took the notebook made his heart jump into his throat. you don't have to. i know your reputation is important and I'm just some looser you shouldn't be seen with. jake chuckled slightly at that and looked down. how wrong was that? "that's another thing you forgot. my rep is based on how nice of a guy i am. you of all people should know that." he said softly, leaning against the lockers and staring across the hallway as she spoke again. you're having an attack aren't you? to many people? don't think i don't remember, jake. i do. i remember that day. i remember almost all of them she noticed. he met her eyes and smiled softly. a smile he had only shared with her when ever they got into trouble.

he ran his hand through his hair, a nervous tick that he barely noticed doing. "the people are fine. i've gotten better about that.." he mumbled. "i'm just getting over one... woke up with the blankets around me today..." he didn't want to admit he had been thrown into an attack by remembering the first one. he shook his head and dropped his hand as she finished. if we're going to leave, let's go. i have a headache.' he nodded and considered giving her one of his mischievous comments, but choose not to. he didn't want what happened earlier to happen again.

he held his books in one arm and walked to the entrance of the school. he watched her out of the corner of his eye, figuring she would settle in behind him rather then next to him. his mind wandered over the question of 'is the tree house still up?' at the doors, he opened one up and stood out of the way so jasmine could walk out first. "i drove the land rover today, hopefully that's okay with you." he said with a slight smile. at least it wasn't the lamborghini. her parents would have recognized it and possibly told his parents, then his life would be hell. he wouldn't be allowed to drive, walk, or use public transportation. what that left was his parents driving him.[/b]

Kacey felt happy when he hugged her back,even if it was slight. She had gotten in the car ducked down a bit, playing along with this ditching school thing. Adrenaline pulsing through her body, she became excited. She had never done this before, and it was all new. She was so used to be under her parent's foot. She had always had done what she was told to do. She had always been a stiff stick-in-the-mudd. When she met Ryder, her whole life changed. She was going to his parties and staying out late. Which, of course, her parents disapproved of. She had been seeing him less and less these days, and she does not want to be the goody-too-shoes all the time. It was a great change doing this, but this would be the first and last time. She had noticed Ryder playing one of his rock songs. She never did like them, but she could bear three minutes of the stuff. She smiled and laughed when she heard hum singing. She did not mean to, but it was funny. After his song he announced that he had a present for her. The only time she had ever gotten presents, it was only for Christmas. And even then, it was only one or two small things. She was curious and excited at the same time. "Okay," she said, containing her excitement. She watched as he turned back to the road. She wanted to say something, but she did not know what to say, so she took off her bookbag, and let down her wavy, dark brown hair. Her bun was falling out anyway. She fiddled with her thumbs as she patiently waited, curiously wondering where they were going.

Danny's alarm went off at its normal time, the loud beeping enough to elicit a groan from him. Reaching blindly, his hand beat at his nightstand until the noise stopped. A satisfied sigh escaped him as he rolled to the other side of the bed, slowly sitting up. It took him a moment to wake up enough to move, but he slowly stood and stumbled to his closet. It seemed to be a nice day out, so he pulled on a pair of khaki cargo shorts and a t-shirt. After slipping on his favorite pair of shoes, he turned and headed downstairs.

His father had been out late last night, so he thankfully wasn't awake yet. Another sigh escaped him as he moved to the cupboards, grabbing himself a cereal bar for the road. It joined his cell phone in his pocket as he closed the cupboard door and stepped through a side door into the garage. Both him and his father had cars, though his was, of course, of worse quality. His father owned a rather nice Honda, while he had an old Saturn. It worked, though, so he had no complaints.

He quickly slipped into his car and headed off to school for another boring day of classes. Upon arriving in the parking lot, he went towards his normal spot. It was open, so he took it of course. He quickly climbed out, grabbing his bag and heading for his first class of the day. Sadly, he shared no classes with Liz, but it was probably better than way anyway. Danny was always distracted by Liz, so it would be hard to pay attention with her in class.

The day flew by quickly, much to Danny's enjoyment. He wasn't sure what he planned on doing after school, but he hoped to find Liz and chill out with her in the field as normal. He could either give her a lift or meet her there, though meeting there was probably better. After his last class was dismissed, Danny headed back out to his car.
