Angela's POV





Suzie and Jack are talking about something important because I can tell they look serious. Jack glanced at me and then looked back to Suzie. I tried to listen wondering if it's about me but it's too hard to hear. I looked back at the tv and started flipping through channels for a good show. I tried so hard to pay attention to the show but I wanna know what they're talking about.





They suddenly stopped talking and Jack moved next to me. "Hey do you wanna go to my house tomorrow to watch a movie?" he said nervously. They were talking about me. I'm guessing Suzie gave him tips to ask me out. I looked at her and shot her a glare and she didn't seem to notice.





"Sure, what movie?" I asked.





"We can choose tomorrow. I have a lot of dvds." he said.





"Okay, is Suzie coming?" They looked at each other for a minute, Jack hesitating and Suzie nodding. They left after that and I started thinking about what happened a few hours ago. Three college guys tried to 'flirt' with me and Jack kissed me to prove that he's my boyfriend, which is a lie. I know he did that to save me from those maniacs but just now, he invited me to his house. And he was nervous asking me. What do those facts prove? He probably likes me. If he does, I'm permanently forgetting Ryan.





Suzie keeps asking me if I like him and I keep denying that it was only a small crush. But I lied because they would think it's stupid for liking, possibly loving, a guy you've known for years but don't know a single thing about him. I am stupid, as hard as I try to forget about him and move on, I can't. It all goes back to those years of elementary school I had with him. Even though we're in the same school, we live in different worlds. I'm a loser and everybody loves him. He has tons of friends and I have a few friends I hang out with but barely talk to except Suzie and Jack. This all goes back to Jack whom I've met a few days ago and felt like I've known him forever. Is he really the right guy for me?





People say 'Opposites Attract'. Is that true? Am I supposed to be with Ryan or Jack? I need to stop saying that Ryan's perfect for me because I kept saying that for years and still nothing. "ANGELA!" My mom's voice echoed through the whole house. I stood up and ran to her at the kitchen.





"What?" I asked irritated.





"Who is that guy?" she asked curiously, losing her loud voice.





"What guy?" she stared at me. "Oh, Jack Martin, I told you that already right?" Great, now my mom wants to butt into my life.





"Yeah, tell me everything." she said excitedly. I sighed. Aren't moms supposed to say something like,"You can't have a boyfriend yet!"





"He's a new kid at school and he's my classmate." I finished. She rolled her eyes and I raised my eyebrows. "What?"





"I said tell me everything." she demanded.





"First day of school, I met him, well, bumped into him in the hallways. I offered to show him where his class is and we have all classes together. So now I guess he's my friend since I hang out with him all the time. He's nice not like those other good-looking bas- I mean idiots."





"So you like him? He seems like a nice guy. You two are so perfect together. Now she's like Suzie. Telling me what's to do. I'm so torn between two guys: Jack, nice, respectful, and well, a gentleman; Ryan, stupid, bitch-loving jerk. All I ever heard in 6th grade from him while evesdropping is telling other guys about having sex. That's all he wants and then like little toys, he throws them away when he doesn't want them anymore. Even though he's a jackass, I can't stop liking him. It's impossible since I'm secretly like one of his fans.





The next day, I walked to Jack's house since it's not that far away. When I knocked on the door, Jack opened the door and Suzie got up from the sofa. "So what movie are we watching?" I smiled. "I prefer comedy, drama, or romance." I said firmly.





"Can we watch a scary movie? My brother watches a lot of scary movies." he said hesitantly, waiting for my response. My eyes widened.





"Umm..." I gulped loudly. "Sure," I lied. Scary movies frighten me. I know it's not real but what kind of girl doesn't scream when they watch scary movies?
