Chapter Two

The final bell of the day rang.

"Thank God." I thought to myself. I gathered up my books, and walked to my locker, where I was greeted by Nicole.

"Thank God it's Friday!" Nicole said.

"I know. This week went by so slow."

"It did. Hey, you wanna go to the mall now?" Nicole asked? I looked at her and laughed. "What?"

"Is that all you think about? Shopping and boys?"

"And don't forget Joey." I smiled at Nicole's last comment.

Nicole had a major crush on Joey, and Joey had a major crush on Nicole. Why they don't get together is beyond me. Joey mad up the excuse that he was too busy with the gang, and Nicole made up the excuse that she was just too busy. I think I'll make that my mission this year. To get Joey and Nicole together.

Nicole and I walked out the doors of school, and towards the parking lot.

"Hey Jacqueline, wait up!" I turned aorund to see Meg running toward me. Meg was a senior and a sweetheart. Jason had a huge crush on her, and that made a lot of the other girls hate her. A lot of the senior girls had crush's on Jason, but when Jason looked at Meg, it was like his whol face lit up. Meg was the sweet, innocent, quite type. I think that's what attracted Jason to her. She didn't throw herself at guys. Actually Meg, was very shy. She liked Jason a lot too. Whenever I see Jason approach her, it's just so...cute! It's like the rebel and the school girl falling in love.

"Hey Meg, what's up?"

"Hi! Hey Nicole."

"Hi!"

"Um...I was just wondering if you could..."

"Jacqueline!" I turned around and noticed Jason calling me, from the other side of the parking lot.

"What!"

"I can't find my keys! Did I give them to you this morning?!"

"What?! I can't hear you!" I couldn't hear a word Jason was saying on account of everyone leaving school, and car radio's blasting.

"Do you have my keys?!" Jason yelled again. I turned to Nicole and Meg.

"I can't hear him, I'll be right back." I started to walk across the parking lot, when I heard the screeching of tires. I looked to the left of me and saw a car coming toward me head on.

"Jacqueline look out!" Nicole screamed. This caused Jason and the members of Blood, who were surrounding him, to turn their heads.

"Jacqueline!" Jason screamed. Just then, I felt two strong arms around me and pull me out of the way. I fell to the ground with someone on top of me. The car just kept going and sped on by. I opened my eyes to see these amazing brown eyes looking into mine. I then heard foot steps and running. The person rolled off of me. The next thing I knew, I was being picked up off the ground.

"Jacq, are you ok?" Jason asked with concern written all over his face. My mind felt like it was in 10 places at once. I couldn't think straight. There were too many people around me. I looked beyond the crowd of people surrounding me, to find my savior. Ray was helping him off the ground. Nicole and Meg the pushed through the crowd, and ran up to me.

"Are you ok?" Nicole asked worried. I just looked at Nicole. I felt my whole head get incredibly lite and my body get heavy. The last thing I remember was falling back into Jason's arms.

"Jacqueline. Jacqueline." I opened my eyes slowely to see Joey hovering over me. I started to pick myself up.

"Where am I?"

"In the nurses office. Would you lay back down. Dad's coming to pick you up."

"How'd I get here?"

"Jason carried you in." The school nurse, Ms. Zelers then walked into the little room Joey and I were in.

"Oh good your up. How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine." I stated to get up.

"WOuld you please just lay down til Dad get's here?" Joey said, while trying to push me down.

"Joey I'm fine." Just then my dad ran into the office.

"Hi Ms. Zelers."

"Hi Mr. Catalano. Don't worry, she looks fine. Doesn't have a fever or any cuts or bruises."

"Thank you." My dad walked over to me and kneeled down in front of me. "Are you alright? Does your head hurt or anything?"

"Dad I'm alright. Look no cuts or anything, see." I said while holding out my arms.

"Dad don't worry. She's fine. Her head's a little screwed up, but no major damage." Joey said. I hit Joey in the arm and he laughed.

"I think she'll be fine Mr. Catalano" My dad looked at Ms. Zelers and smiled. He then got up from kneeling in front of me.

"Thank you so much for taking care fo her. I really do appreciate it. Come on guys." Joey. my dad, and I then left the nurses office.

"Hey Joey, where did Jaosn and all of them go?" I asked.

"Oh, Jason and Ray took Meg and Nicole home. Nicole got really upset after you fainted, so they decided to take her home.

"Oh. Well, we're eating there tonight right?"

"Ray and Nicoles? Yeah. Dad are you going back to the office?"

"Nah. I'm gonna go home and get changed." My dad started to loosen his tie.

"Awww daddy you look so handsome today." My dad smiled at me.

"Oh yes daddy you look so handsome." Joey said in an imitation gay voice. My dad laughed and we all got into my dad's car.

"So where are you guys going?" My dad asked.

"Can you drive us home? I wanna change. My skirt and shirt are all dirty, from when I fell."

"Sure." My dad started the car, and the three of us headed home.
