says, I bite the inside of my cheek, so it was obvious. Of course it was. 

 

"No... we're fine." I tell him, and thank him for my dress then I head to the locker room. I come out dressed in my day clothes and sit in the auditorium, so we can go over notes. I talk with Lena for a while as we wait for everyone to come back, but when Jake comes in I excuse myself. I walk over to him hoping he will at least talk to me.  "Hey..." I say quietly. Should I apologize? What for though? I never said I wouldn't talk to Jason... besides I stuf up for Jake, I said I wanted to be with Jake. him not saying anything isn't helping either. He is looking at me, looking down at me, since he is so much taller. But right now I feel like he is five stories taller then me. He isn't giving me any weird or mean looks, but it looks like he is thinking hard. It makes my breath catch in my throat.

 

"I'm sorry." he finally says.

 

"What are you sorry for?" I ask, not sure what he means or where he is going with this. Is he sorry that he is been ignoring me? Is he sorry he's been leading me on... or something like that!? I don't know!

 

"You told Jason off... you told him you wanted me... and here I am ignoring you and being a douche." he sighs, scratching the back of his neck. I shouldn't smile, but I do. I wrap my arms around him squeezing him tightly. "You're not mad?" He asks. 

 

"No!" I reply, and then Mrs. Oliver whistles, and Jake and I take a seat. We listen to her notes, which isn't many since we've been running through this now for almost a week, then Lena has a couple comments. She brings up The last scene with Robbie and I, and how believable we made it look. Ithink about the way he was looking at me, and it sends shivers down my spine. My arms have goosebumps even. It was tottally weird.  Once we get dismissed, I give Jake a quick kiss on the cheek explaining that I have to give Lena a tour and show her around. We decide that tomorrow night, we'll do something together, since tomorrow is tuesday. Then Wednesday night I'll be having dinner with his family. With there being no school I'm going to have a lot of free time. What should I do with Lena tomorrow? 

Chapter 41- Stone

 "Lena! Come on we're going to be late!" I yell laying my hands on the bathroom door to get as close as I can without actually opening the door. She has been in there for two hours now, and the damn shower has been running the whole time! Walking over to my desk again, I play my turn... I've played four games of Chess against the computer and lost each of them. I've been ready for the past three hours, it took her a full hour to get out of bed, and now the past two hours have been pounding on my bathroom door and chess.  "I'm eating breakfast without you!" I yell leaving my room.  

 

Making my way down to the kitchen I grab a package of apple strawberry cream oatmeal. Pouring it into a bowl and adding the water, I click the buttons on the microwave and wait.  I planned on doing a bunch of stuff with her today, but if she takes much longer we wont be able to do much. I really wanted to go swimming and see if we could go riding, but now I don't think we'll have enough time. Maybe just one today, including we have the musical. Once the microwave beeps, I grab my bowl and stir it up. Plopping into one of the chairs, I eat my cereal, while everyone is is busy running around trying to get to where they want to. With school being cancled for the week I'm sure lots people are going out, or throwing parties. Anne and Rachel sweep into the room, and Rachelle makes Anne's breakfast for her. Anne just sits across from me and glares. 

 

"So... you and Jake are going to go out right?" She roles her eyes, but jealousy is leaking from her voice.  A couple people stop  and look at the two of us, listening in. I take a deep breath, this is practically world war three going on now. "What about Jason?" 

 

"Just shut up." I get up, putting my bowl in the sink. Now the kitchen is quiet. "Get over yourself." I add leaving the room. No way am I up for that today. I want a nice fun good day, and causing a war with Anne doesn't sound good or apealing.  I meet Lena coming up the stairs, and I drag her out to my car wanting to avoid Anne. She complains about wanting food, but I tell her she should've got ready faster. 

 

"Well what are we gonna do today?" She asks, leaning against my car. I cross my arms unsure. What should we do?  "We should go see that guy... the tall blonde you're friends with."

 

"What?" I cough. Tall blonde? That's Jake. 

 

"Yeah... you can hang out with red head boyfriend.. and I'll just hang out with blondie." She shrugs with a smile. I shake my head, this is unbelievable! 

 

"Jake ... blondie... is my boyfriend." I say, and she laughs then stops looking at my serious look.  "Seriously." I sigh. 

 

"I thought you and red head had a thing. I mean your kiss was like  holy shit! And the way you too looked at each other!" She places her hands over her heart, and shrinks her knees.  

 

"No." I say wanting to clear it all up. "Robbie is just a friend. Jake is my boyfriend.  Now what do you want to do today?" I begin naming of things we could do. She doesn't seems interested in any of it unless it involves seeing boys. Although it's illegal for her to have anything to do with any of the boys here, I'm getting the feeling that isn't going to stop her. 

 

"Let's throw a dance competition!" She says, pulling out her phone. "You make sure people show up, and I'll do the rest!" she walks away texting a mile a minute. I lean against my car scratching the top of my head. She dances Juiliard, why does she want to do more dancing? I send out a mass text to all my contacts. We walk around the school grounds while she keeps pulling her strings to get a Dj and  drinks. This isn't going to be as fun as I thought it would be having her here.

 

After another three hours are wasted planning we go back to the dorm for lunch. I make macaroni with hotdogs in it, we play a couple cards games and chat about boys. Mostly about Jake. I grit my teeth unhappily at all her questions. It's almost as if she doesn't care I'm with him, I'm actually assuming she doesn't care because she is trying to get as much information out of me as he can.

 

"Paige!" Jayla yells running in and squeezing me. I almost choke on my food as she squeezes me. "What are you doing? Why aren't you with Jake?"

 

"I'm eating.. and I have a ... friend here. I didn't want to be rude. What are you doing here?" I explain sitting up. Lena is looking Jayla up and down, I don't like the look on her face.  "Oh.. Jayla this is Lena. Lena this is Jayla .. Jake's little sister."

 

"Oh hey! You look just like your brother Jake!" Lena shines, and it automatically turns Jayla off. She doesn't like the way she said Jake's name either.

 

"No.. I think she looks like me." Jason rounds the corner. I look down at the table, rubbing my eyes. What in the world is going on? Jayla and Jason? No word from Jake...? "Paige.. a word." He says, I get up and leave Jayla alone with Lena. Hopefully they wont kill each other. But what on earth does Jason want from me?  Stoppping outside on the dorm stairs, he looks out at the yard.

 

"What?" I ask, leaning against the railing.

 

"About yesterday." He begins. "I didn't mean to piss you off or anything... but Paige Jake is bad news. You know that. What are you doing getting involved with him?"

 

"It's a long story..." I say, not really wanting to talk about this. "To long to explain to you right now... and frankly it's none of your business." I add. He stands up straight giving me a stirn teacher like look.  "Oh don't even try to pull that you're older and wiser crap right now." I mumble shaking my head.

 

"Have you guys had sex yet?" He asks, and now I give him a stirn face. 

 

"No.. but if we had it would really be none of your business!" I scold, walking down the stairs away from him. I'm lying but he doesn't need to know that. "What is Jayla doing here?" I ask, lets change the subject. 

 

"Turns out she is still out on break... so our parents thought she should come here and spend time with her brothers. I know how much you like each other.. and Jake is missing in action so.. I heard you're having a party."

 

"I'm not.. Lena is. She just wants me to invite a bunch of guys." I role my eyes.

 

"Like Jake?" He catches on.

 

"It doesn't matter."  I shake my head. "What do you want Jason?" I ask.

 

"I want you to understand Jake is dangerous. You need to drop him, and forget about him Paige. He is just trouble. I'm being serious, I haven't said anything to your brother yet but I will if I have to." He threatens.

 

"You're threatening me now!" I growl, standing up straight. He just nods. "You wouldn't."

 

"Oh so you do care if your parents know... so.. you do know Jake is bad news." He says

 

"Jason.. It's just to early for our families to know..." I try to reason with him.

 

"My family knows." He raises his eyebrow.

 

"Yeah.. well I get the feeling that's your fault." I say hotly. He nods, I shake my head again. "What ever. This conversation is over." I turn heading back inside.  

 

"You know I'm right... Jake has been awol since you two came out officially. You've fought, and hell Paige I'm guessing he hasn't even said a word to you since musical practice yesterday!" I walk inside not replying. He is right. Jake hasn't said a word. I sent him a goodmorning text this morning, and he never replied.  "You're only going to hurt yourself in the end!" He yells as I make my way upstairs, but he doesn't follow me. Why is it that everything he has been saying makes sense?!

All damn day I've been running around setting up for this dumb party. Now finally getting a slight break, I look at all the work. It looked good the split second before people arrived which was like two minutes after it was completed. I can't believe the teachers were okay with this. Apparently they think it's
