"We could skip today.", Kaden said when he parked into the school parking lot. I looked at the entrance of the school and sighed heavily.

"No, lets go. I can deal with Tabby, just maybe not Melanie.", I told him and looked at him. "Promise you wont pick a fight with Logan?",

"Yes, but I make no promise about picking one when we're off school ground.", he said.

"Deal.", I said, but I was hoping my voice sounded sarcastic. I was actually kind of hoping Logan will get a little beaten. Does that make me horrible?

He took my hand, "Just try to get threw the day and how about I take you to the mall and to your favorite store. I think they shouldn't have put in a bakery in the mall since my wallet seems to be empty by the time we leave.", he said, chuckling.

"And I swear theirs magic in the chocolate cupcakes to make my want more.", I said and chuckled along with him. "And thanks, I'll like that.",

"And then dinner tonight with your parents and let them know about us.", he said and I nodded. He leaned over and kissed me.

We got out of his car and he quickly grabbed my hand and pulled my closer to him and wrapped his arm around me. I couldn't help but giggled and blush. I did my best to ignore the strange looks I got from guys who knew Logan and the evil looks I got from girls. Kaden and I decided to just forget about taking a few weeks. We're sure Tabby and Logan will tell people I cheated on him with Kaden and how much of a horrible girlfriend I was.

I wonder if he even remember what he did Saturday night.

We walked into the school and I instantly saw Melanie. She was leaning on the stair case of the sophomore hallways and she was talking to Jason. I saw in her hands she had a container with something in it.

Her head turned to look at me and her eyes sadden. She said something to Jason and he nodded before he left as we walked over to her and she turned her whole body to look at me.

"Hey.", she said and gave me a small sad smile. She looked at Kaden, "Can I talk to Jesse alone?",

He nodded, "Yeah. I'll see you at lunch.", he said and I nodded. He kissed my cheek before leaving down the hallway.

I turned back to Melanie with my cheeks pink. She lifted her arms and held the container to me, "Chocolate chip. I placed a braid over them last night, so they should be chewing.",

"Thanks...?", I said, taking them. Melanie makes the best at making cookies and she knew I liked them when they were soft and chewy. I was confused though on why she made them.

She bit one side of her lower lip, "How many sorry's do I have to say before I gain your forgiveness?", she asked. "What I said to you the other day was totally wrong and horrible of me. I shouldn't have said it and I spoke before thinking. It's just you know how I am with people who are with someone already and do that kind of stuff. I'm a horrible friend and I just want you to know what I said was a lie. Your not like Tabby--you way behind being like her! So please, don't hate me.",

I looked down at the cookies before back up at her. I couldn't stay mad at her. "Just once.", I told her, referring to her 'sorry'. She smiled and we hugged at each tightly.

"I'm so sorry, Jesse.", she said. She wrapped her arm around mine as we walked up the stairs and bumped her hip into mine and grin, "Soo, were you ever going to tell me you had a thing with Kaden?",

"Soon after I was going to break it off with Logan.", I told her. "I just wanted to wait a few weeks after so it doesn't look weird but I guess it doesn't matter anymore.',
