After Crystal leaves AJ looks at me and smiles.
"You know you didn't have to come tonight. I thought you were going to stay home and study, what happened?" AJ asks
I say, "I realized that I can study all I can with that test, I've been studying all week. And I wouldn't be able to get any good out of it when I know that I haven't spent enough time with you."
AJ smiles and says, "Aren't you just sweet."
Sarah walks up to us and asks, "Suzy what are you doing here? I thought you had to study for that test."
"I realized that I had more important things to do." I say with a smile.
"Well, I know this sounds bad, but could I pull you away from AJ for just a minute? I really need to talk to you." Sarah asks. I look at AJ, he smiles and nods his head. So I walk off stage with Sarah. Just then Heather, a girl from AJ's and my History class walks up to AJ.
"Hi AJ. I didn't know that you would be here. How are you and Suzanne?" Heather says trying to sound nice.
"We're fine, why do you ask?" AJ asks confused
"Well I've noticed that you guys don't spend much time together, even in the halls. And I just thought you might have broken up with her or something." Heather says
AJ gets mad and says, "I'd never break up with her. I love her and I always will."
"I was just wondering, you don't have to bite my head off." Heather says starting to walk away.
AJ feels kinda bad about snapping at her, so he says, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Don't leave."
Heather turns around and asks, "Are you sure, I mean, won't Suzanne get jealous?"
"No, she'll be cool with it." AJ says. Heather and AJ go on talking for awhile.
Then Heather says, "You know, your a really nice guy; I hadn't talked to you that much before. I was wondering, would you like to go across the street with me, I meeting some friends at that taco bell?"
"I better not, Suzy will be here any minute." AJ says
"Are you sure, I mean, she left you this long. What if she's not back in any minute?" Heather asks
"No, I better wait." AJ says
"Well, OK. You know where to find
me if you change your mind." Heather says walking away. "Bye"
AJ says, "Bye"
"CUT!!!" the director yells "That was great you guys. I guess that's a wrap for today, I have some things that I really have to do. I'd bet money that you guys are going to go to the river or something."
Sarah looks at the guys and they all nod
their heads. Then she says, "Well I guess so."
------------------------------------------------
(At the river)
Everyone is there, even my cousins, Derek, and...Heather. AJ and I tell the guys that we are going on a walk, then we leave. As we walk down the river bank, AJ holds my hand.
"Can you believe that the last time we were here, you couldn't even tell or show me how you felt?" AJ asks
"No I can't." I say shaking my head "I really can't. This is so right, how could I even think it could be wrong?" We keep walking and decide that we should go back to the gang and goof around. So as we walk back we notice that something is going on between Sarah and Heather. The are off behind some trees, so the guys can't see them. But we sure can, they look like they are having a argument.
"I better go check it out, you go join the others." I say
AJ gives me a little kiss and says, "OK" Then he runs and jumps in the water.
I sneak up on Heather and Sarah, and then I jump out and ask, "Do we have a problem here?"
"Oh hi Suzanne, how are you doing?" Heather asks
"Don't try sucking up, it won't work. You know your not too high on my list of likeables. Actually your low on my list of hateables, so don't mess with me. NOW WHAT'S GOING ON?!" I snap
Sarah says, "She's getting too close to Brian, I don't like it and neither does he. I tried to tell her nicely to stay away but she won't listen."
"NICELY!!! You call that nicely, yelling at me as soon as you get me alone?" Heather snaps
"Well it's a lot nicer than what I'm going to do to you if you get near him or any of the guys again. Got it?" I say in a stern voice.
"Yes." Heather says
I say, "Now I think you better just leave before someone gets in to trouble. If they ask tell them that you remember that you have a doctors appointment or something." Heather nods her head and leaves. Sarah and I walk back to the river's edge and just sit there.
AJ swims up to me and asks, "So what was that all about?"
"Nothing I couldn't handle babe." I say in a sassy tone.
"Well, can you handle this?" AJ says
as he pulls me into the water. I scream for Sarah to help me, so
she dives in and starts to pull me from AJ's grip. Then everyone
get's involved, AJ and Howie have taken me hostage. And everyone
else is after Sarah. I pull myself underwater and slide out of AJ's
arms, then I start swimming for Sarah. I start splashing Kevin, Brian,
and Nick; so they can't see Sarah get away. Then I make my get-away,
underwater. I swim right between AJ's legs and he doesn't even know
it until I'm already through. I join Sarah on the river bank, and
we run for the car. As I run past my towel, I grab my keys and get
ready to unlock it. We reach the car and I start to unlock it, I
unlock it and I jump in; Sarah jumps in on the same side and shuts the
door and locks it. But I had forgotten about the sunroof, Brian grabs
Sarah and pulls her through it.
