Amber
"I still can't believe it." Jacqui said tearfully. She had just been at Kellie’s to meet Lacey, Scott and Melanie and she'd seen Sean there with a tall leggy blond who was at least 17. After seeing them she'd run to Amber's house, since she lived right near Kellie’s. "It’s gonna be alright Jac, If he can find someone new so can you." Amber said trying to sound cheerful. "Let's see who's available. There’s Justin?" "No" Jacqui said. "David? Matt? Nicky?" Jacqui shook her head to all of them. "I want to try dating someone who's been a friend of mine for a while. Maybe then it'll work out better than with Sean. Maybe I'd ask Scott if he weren't taken. Or Abs. Abs isn't taken and he's real sweet and everything." Jacqui said her face lighting up. "Maybe I'll ask him out, I noticed he was looking at me one day in class." She continued. Oh no. This was NOT good. Amber thought to herself. Jacqui was very popular. Why did she have to pick Abs out of all the guy friends she had? This was horrible. If Abs found out that Jacqui was interested who knew what could happen. She hated herself for what she was about to do. Jacqui was one of her best friends but nothing would work out with them anyway even if they did get together they were way too different. "Didn’t you hear about him and
Lauren Moore?" Amber lied. "Don't tell me he's taken!" Jacqui complained. "Sad ain't it?" Amber congratulated herself on her quick thinking. Just then the doorbell rang. Amber opened the door. It was Abs. She had to get him out of there before Jacqui saw him. "Abs this isn't really a good time for me." Amber began. "Why?" He asked. "Oh I get it." He said as Jacqui came into the room. "No It's ok Amber he can be here." Jacqui said calmly. "Amber was just talking about how you and Lauren got together." Jacqui explained. "What?" Abs looked confused. The doorbell rang again. Amber went to answer it. It was Mel, Scott and Lacey. "Hey Amber is Jacqui here?" Melanie asked. "Yeah." Amber said letting
them in. "Jacqui what happpened? We saw you run outta Kellie’s." Scott said. "It's cuz Sean was there and ya didn't wanna talk to him isn’t it? I'm so sorry that you 2 broke up." Lacey sat down next to Jacqui and put her arm around her. "You don't have to be, After all I was the one who broke up with him." Jacqui told her. Amber’s mind raced. It had been a lucky break for her that Lacey,Scott and Mel had come when they did-before Jacqui and Abs got a chance to talk, but her friends would probably leave soon and she had to get Jacqui away from Abs. "Ummm guys, I hafta study for the algebra test tomorrow." Amber said. "So I guess we should get going." Melanie said. "I guess." Amber said walking them to the door. She closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief. That had
been close. Now all she had to do was keep her two best friends away from each other…
Katie
"I can’t believe Jessie isn't here yet." Katie said to herself. Her parents of course had gone off to talk to her weird aunt Belinda who was unmarried and lived in a house with 16 cats. Her whole family was screwed up. Her cousin Ronan said he was gay but always had girlfriends for some reason, Adrienne was getting married with a baby at 17. Her cousin Andie was 19 with 5 kids and unmarried. Jessie’s dad had run away when she was 5. Come to think of it Katie was the only normal one in her family. And Jessie of course was also normal. And she still wasn't there. Katie rummaged in her purse for her cellphone and called Jessie. "Jess, where are you? I'm dying of boredom here." Katie said as Jessie picked up. "Sorry Kate I'm still getting ready and so is Mom. We'll be there in about an hour k?" Jessie said. "Ok the important thing is that you'll be here. I’ll just go mingle with the weirdos till you come." Katie said. "Bye Katie." "Bye Jess." Katie hung up and looked around again. Zach and Adrienne were getting married in this really beautiful church. Very fancy. But no one interesting was there. She decided to go outside and sat on the stairs there. She could sit there till Jessie came. It wasn't like there was anything better to do. She could really use a cig right now even though she'd stopped smoking last year. She shivered. She'd forgotten her jacket inside and she really didn’t feel like going back inside. "Ya cold?" a voice asked. Katie looked up and saw a gorgeous blond guy. A gorgeous older guy. "Excuse me, do I know you?" "No baby but you could. I'm J." "Katie." "Want my jacket?" he asked offering her his leather jacket. "Sure." She said as she put on the jacket. "say have ya got any cigs?" She asked. He looked like the type of people who smoked. "Ya smoke?" J asked obvioussly surprised. "Nah, I quit but I feel like smoking right now." He pulled a box out of his pocket and Katie took a cigarette. "So why ya here if you're so unhappy?" J asked. "Well my cousin Jessie is supposed to come soon and she lives pretty far away so I hardly see her. Mostly we chat on the phone and email. My mom says I was good friends with the bride. And we go way back together. She’s my third cousin by the way." Katie said. "What are you doing here?" "I'm best friends with Zach." J told her. "Oh. Wouldn't you rather be inside with Zach?" Katie asked. "Zach isn't as cute as you." J said in his sexy voice. "Thanks. I bet ya say that to your girlfriend all the time." She was fishing and it was pretty obvious. "I'm single and free. Does your boyfriend know you flirt with other guys?" He smiled at her. Damn he was so sexy. "I wouldn't be flirting with you if I had a boyfriend. Pretty desperate huh?” Katie laughed.

Dear Diary,
I almost died today! I CAN’T believe what happened with Jacqui,Abs,Lace,Mel and Scott(mostly Abs and Jac) I’ve gotta come up with a plan to keep them away from each other. Now Jacqui's started to look for a new boyf. I mean she's my best friend(besides Abs) but can't she wait a little. Sometimes I get a little jealous of her(Ok make that a LOT) cause Abs has a crush on her. I wish he had a crush on me. But that’ll never happen we're "Just Friends" that sux.
