Tuesday
Jake's POV
"Hey losers." Courtney said sitting down at the table and beside me.
"So how was the date last night?" Keith asked.
"It was good; Hank was ok to hang out with." Courtney said before eating some of her muffin.
"We heard it was an ok date for Shawn and Abigail." Harrison said.
"What?" Courtney asked.
"The date between Shawn and Abby." I said.
"Abby didn't go; she backed out of it after 7th period. She got Maci to agree to go on a date with Shawn. I thought you guys knew that." Courtney said looking at me then at Keith and them.
"No we didn't know she backed out of it." Lewis said and Keith just looked at me.
"Maci and Shawn seemed to have a great time together." Courtney said.
"Was Lena mad Abby backed out of it?" Keith asked looking at her.
"Yeah a little until Abby said she found Shawn another date." Courtney said.
Abby's POV
"Coffee." I said handing a cup of coffee out towards Courtney after I stopped at the table.
"Hey and thank you." She said taking it then I sat down in front of her and beside Keith.
"So how was the triple date?" I asked and she lowered her head then I laughed.
"I would have had more fun if you would have went with Shawn." She said after she drunk some of her coffee and looking at me.
"But Maci probably had a better time with Shawn then I would have." I said before drinking some coffee and she nodded her head.
Just then my cell phone vibrated.
"Let's go; Lena wants to talk to us." I said looking at Courtney as I got up.
She nodded her head then got up. She led the way and I was about to follow when Jake grabbed my left arm.
I turned to face him.
"You lied to me." He said in a mad voice.
"You asked how the date went; I guessed and told you it was fine." I said.
"But you didn't say you didn't go." He said.
"Can I go? I have to talk to Lena." I said.
He shook his head then let go of my arm then I walked away.
"What's up?" I asked when I got to Lena's locker.
"I really like Chance." Lena said looking at Courtney then at me.
"That's a good thing right." Courtney said.
"He asked me to be his girlfriend. I wanted to know what you two think of him." Lena said looking at us.
"That is your choice not ours." I said.
"But I don't want to date someone that my friends hate." She said.
"We don't hate him. So if you want to be his girlfriend say yes." Courtney said and I nodded my head.
"Now if that is over, I want to know what's going on with Jake and you." Courtney said looking at me.
"Nothing." I said.
"Don't give me that; you didn't tell him that you didn't go on that date last night, you haven't been sitting beside him or nowhere near him lately, and then he grabbed your arm to keep you from following me here to talk to you about something. Something is up; what happened?" Courtney asked and Lena looked at me.
"Nothing." I said drinking my coffee.
"Fine then sit beside him at lunch." She said.
"I don't want to." I said.
"Why not? You two are best friends." Lena said.
"We kissed ok." I said very fast then both of their eyes got really big.
The bell rung after that and I walked away very fast.
Lunch
Jake's POV
Not long after my friends and I sat down at our regular table, Courtney and Lena joined us. Lena sat down beside me which was unusual and Keith gave me a weird look but I just shrugged my shoulders then opened my drink.
"Abby and you really need to talk. You can't just kiss her then not talk about it." Lena whispered in my left ear and making sure no one else heard it besides me.
After that she got up and sat down where she usually sits at which is beside Lewis.
Abigail's POV
After I got my food, I walked outside to see Lena and Courtney was sitting with Jake and them.
"Hey Jake, are you coming to the party later?" Jen asked sitting down beside Jake and touching his left shoulder.
Everyone looked at her after that.
"What party?" Jake asked.
"My party." She said smiling and handing him an invite.
"I'll think about." Jake said taking the invite.
"Well I hope you can make it." She said touching his left hand then she got up and walked away.
"I guess we aren't invited to that party." Lewis said.
"Like I would go without you guys." Jake said putting the invite on the table.
"Are you seriously thinking about going?" Keith asked picking up the invite.
"Maybe." Jake said and I shook my head as I got closer to the table.
When Courtney saw me, she saw the look on my face and she knew I saw what happened. She got up from where she was sitting which was beside Keith and she went around the table and sat down beside Jake (since that was the only empty sit for me to sit in before she got up). When she did that, everyone besides Lena looked at her. Lena looked to see me right when I reached the table then I walked around the table and sat down beside Keith then everyone else looked to see me.
"Brandon asked about you last period." I said looking at Courtney.
"Don't care." Courtney said eating some of her food.
"So what's the newest thing on Maci and Shawn? I saw them talking earlier." I said looking at Lena and she smiled really big.
"They are going on another date so yes it's a good thing you didn't go last night. They really did hit it off like you thought they would." Lena said smiling at me and I nodded my head.
"Apparently there's a party tonight." Lewis said.
"You guys should go; wouldn't want to disappoint Jen and her friends by her favorite guys not showing up." I said looking at him.
After that I started eating some of my food but I saw Keith look at Jake who just shook his head.
"You girls should come too if you want to come." Keith said looking at me.
"Pass." I said getting some money out of my pocket to get something to drink then I got up and walked away.
"Abby." Jake said following me as I walked towards the drink machine.
"Come to the party tonight." He said when I made it to the drink machine.
"For so many reasons the answer is no." I said putting my money into the machine.
"Then come for me." He said leaning against the machine.
"Abby we need to talk about what happened and the party will be the best place to do that." He said looking at me as I made my selection of what I wanted to drink.
"No." I said grabbing my drink then I walked away.
"Why not?" He asked following me.
"You sound like it's so simple but what you did…" I started to say.
"I might have been the one that started the kiss but you kissed me too." He said when he caught up to me.
The people around us heard that and looked at us. I shook my head after that and walked away but not in the direction of the table. Instead I went towards the building and directly to the library. I went to the very back of the library and just sat down on the floor then leaned against the wall. I had my head back against the wall when Jake sat down beside me 3 minutes later.
"We can't run away from it." He whispered.
"I know it ruined our friendship or changed it forever because neither one of us can take it back." He whispered as he turned to face me.
"I don't know where we go from here." I whispered.
"Abby just come to the party with me tonight." He whispered.
"You are my friend Jake. Why can't we just forget it happened?" I whispered.
He gave me a look before shaking his head then he got up and walked away.
The next couple of weeks Jake and I didn't hang out. I did my best to avoid him at school. Our mutual friends didn't like it but they kept their opinions to themselves.
