"This is such a good story. I love it... Now go and write more now!!!" by Grace
":) I <3 THIS!" by Mollie
“Uh hi….?” I said staring at my family. I was smiling, uh duh! I just got kissed by the hottest most popular guy in school, of course I was smiling.
“You kissed him?” Kasey asked. “That’s…disgusting.”
My jaw dropped.
“You were watching me?” I asked.
They are nodded.
“Where’s Dad?”
“Sleeping…” My mother replied.
My Mother walked up to me and gave me a big hug.
“Don’t grow up too fast,” She said. “Alright kids, leave Kasey and Aria to talk. Time to go to bed,”
There was a lot of complaining but after a short while they all went to bed, it was just Kasey and I on the couch talking with coffee in one hand.
“I’m not sure if I really trust him though,” I said, “What if I’m just another girl?”
“I think you can trust him,” Kasey said, “I have seen him kiss other girls but the way he kissed you was just…I can’t explain it in words, special?”
“Yeah it was special,” I said blushing. My smile faded, “Jacob came at the wrong time.”
“Oh come on, seriously?” Kasey said, “Don’t worry about Jacob, he’s just jealous,”
“But I told him we were just partners nothing else,”
“I know,” Kasey said.
“It’s my entire fault that our friendship is dead and gone.”
“And oh, I’ve been driving on this road too long, too long,” Kasey sang, “Trying to find my way back home, the old me is dead and gone, dead and gone.”
I laughed and smacked her.
“That’s not how the song goes,” I said.
“Close enough,” She replied.
“I love that song,” I said.
“That song was so last year.” Kasey said.
“Why were you singing it then?”
She shrugged. I glanced at the clock it read; 11:45PM
“I have to get to bed,” I said, “I’m really tired.”
“When’s your next date?” Kasey asked.
I shrugged.
“I don’t know,” I said, “He invited me to see Oliver Twist in
“That’s my idea of the worst date ever.” Kasey said.
I rolled my eyes.
“I think it’s…romantic.”
This time Kasey rolled her eyes.
Here is the Twenty-second chapter but first SOME great comments :)
"
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"OMG I LOVE THIS SOOO MUCHHH! I want to know what happened between Jacob and Marcusss!! I have to know more!! Write girl write!" by Kristenn...
“Billy?” I shouted from outside Billy Madison’s house, “It’s Aria, are you there?”
Silence.
“Billy?” I whined, “Are you there?”
I was starting to get worried; I had been knocking on the door for forever.
I picked up my cell and dialed Jacob’s number.
It rang and rang.
“Hello?” Jacob’s voice said.
“Jacob it’s me…”
“Ha-ha you fell for it,” Jacob’s voice said, “I’m not here right now if it’s you Aria I’m too upset at you for even calling so I won’t call you back, so leave a message after the beep.”
“Jacob it’s me,” I whined, “I’m at Billy’s house he’s not answering, I’m getting worried. Please call me back as soon as you can I know you hate me but please.”
A minute later my phone buzzed, it was a text from Jacob.
To: Aria
September 30th Sunday 2010, 2:00PM
Chill, Billy’s with me. And stop pretending you care about him; I’m the only one who does
I sighed. Why was he acting like such a jerk? Couldn’t we get along for just two minutes, the truth is I really do care about Billy honestly…how come Jacob didn’t say something like only Cindy and him care for Billy…did she do something stupid too? It was Sunday; Marcus had invited me to the park I happily accepted. I was actually on my way to the park when I stopped at Billy’s; I slowly turned around and headed down the driveway. It was a beautiful day; the sun was out no clouds covering it. Which was perfectly fine to me…this date was going to be the second best date ever. It was close to 2:30 by the time I arrived at the front gate of
“Aria,” He said, “Again, you look absolutely amazing!”
I blushed, and smiled.
“This is what I always wear,” I said.
“Exactly,”
“Are you saying I always look amazing?” I asked.
He nodded, pulled me close, and our lips met each others.
A couple seconds later I pulled away from him.
“Walk me,” I said.
My arm went through his and we started walking.
“How’s your Dad?” He asked, as we started to walk.
“He’s the same,” I said, “Still no memory!”
“I couldn’t forget you even if I wanted to,” Marcus said.
Would he just stop!?
“Okay,” I said, taking my arm out of his, “You have to stop!”
“Stop…what?” He asked.
“Stop small talking,” I said, “Stop complimenting me all the time, what do you want?”
He didn’t answer.
“I want you to love me back,” He said.
“I love you,” I said, leaning closer and kissing him on the cheek.
“Not good enough,” He said under his breath.
Why was he acting like this? What is up with guys I know acting like jerks?
“I’m going home,” I said.
“W-what…?” He said, “Why?”
I started walking back towards the gate, he ran after me.
“Leave me alone Marcus,” I said, “Please…”
“Aria,” He said, catching up with me, “Tell me what’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong,” I said, “I’ll tell you what’s wrong the one guy friend that I always knew he’d be here for me when I needed him is no longer talking to me, he doesn’t like you.”
“I’ve noticed,” He said, under his breath.
“Why do you think he doesn’t like you?” I asked.
Marcus just shrugged.
I was just about to walk to the gates again when Marcus spoke.
“I’ve changed; I’m not the guy I used to be.”
“Tell him that,” I said.
He sighed.
“Maybe I was wrong about this relationship thing,” He said.
He walked right past me and started walking to the gates.
“No…wait!” I ran to him and hugged him. “Please, I want this!”
“I do too!” He said, “But you need to work harder, I mean we both do!”
I nodded; he lifted my chin and kissed me.
“Shall we walk yet again?” He asked.
I smiled, and he grabbed my arm and we started to walk again. We walked past young and old couples, couples that just met, and couples that have been together for decades, I was thinking; that could be us. I hoped it was us. We walked to this big, beautiful fountain and sat down at the ledge.
“Here,” He said handing me a small wrapped gift.
My eyes widened.
“What is it…?” I asked.
“Just open it…” He replied.
I opened it up, and slowly lifted the box inside was the most beautiful necklace imaginable.
“Oh, it’s so beautiful!” I exclaimed, “Thank you!”
I kissed him.
“I knew you would like it.” He said.
I smiled and did this really awkward nod, it was one of those times that your body just took control of you.
He laughed.
“What was that?” He asked.
I shrugged; He put his hand in the fountain and splashed me.
“Hey!” I said, “What was that for?”
I admit I wasn’t happy.
He was laughing hysterically; I couldn’t help but to smile. I splashed him back, and before we knew it we were soaking wet by the time we reached the front gates.
“Good-bye,” I said kissing him, “I had fun, thank you for the necklace!”
“No problem,” He said kissing me back.
“You want me to walk you home?” He asked.
I shook my head.
“Thanks but no thanks,”
I knew that if we walked home Jacob or one of his friends would see us, it would just lead back to Jacob either way, he would either see us or one of his friends then they would tell Jacob, pretty much he'll know by the end of the day, Little did I know, that was a smart move.
Here is the Twenty-Third CHapter but FIRSt...well you know!
"It was pretty funny. This was a good chapter. I think Jacob should stop being such a jerk... I would hate him with my gut if that happened. I would probably punch him in the gut too... *looks around at the staring faces* What? I have anger issuse." From Grace
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!! Jacob just got dissed!!!
I LOVE THIS!!! :)" by Mollie
As I was walking home from the park, I noticed a lot of kids riding there bikes. I didn’t think anything of it until I reached the street I lived on, those kids were Jacob’s friends, I should’ve known, thank God I didn’t let Marcus walk me home it would have been horrible. I tried not to make contact with any of them, but it was so hard. They all knew me as ‘Jacob’s girlfriend’ which wasn’t true they just couldn’t understand how a guy can be friends with a girl. A few of the boys just stared at me, why were they staring? Did Jacob tell them that he hated me and asked if they could all put me on the hate list just because I am dating a guy Jacob doesn’t approve, who is he my father? My father, what would he say about me and Marcus when he gets his memory back, well, if he get’s his memory back is more like it. I heard them whisper as I walked past them.
“Aria,” Damon said running up to me, “What’s up?”
Damon is one of Jacob’s friend’s brothers. He’s seven and just as cute as can be.
“Hey Damon,” I said, “I’m doing alright, you?”
“Getting picked on by Ryan’s stupid friends again,”
“Oh…”
“Can you do me a favor?” He asked, “Can you tell them to stop?”
Should I or not? Come on, would it hurt to help this poor kid?
“Fine,” I muttered under my breath. We were all the way on my side of the street so we had to turn back and walk across the street again. In the mist of all the boys riding there bikes there was girl…one girl only one girl talking to a couple of the guys.
“Look who it is...” The worst of the bunch, Ethan said.
“Shut your mouth,” I said, “And listen to me.”
“Why would I listen to you?” He said, “A friend of Jacob’s is a friend of mine, a ex-friend of Jacob’s is an ex friend of mine,”
“Dude,” I said grabbing his shirt, “Shut up!”
“What do you want?” The only nice one of the bunch, Kyle said.
“Who’s been picking on Damon?” I said looking around at the bunch.
They are started laughing hysterically.
“I said who has been picking on Damon?” This time I raised my voice.
“You have guts for coming across to my street,” Jacob said, coming out of his house.
“Have you been picking on Damon?” I asked.
“You know me,” He said, yeah I did know Jacob he would never do that, “Of course I do,”
Wait! What? I thought to myself.
“You’ve changed Jake,” I said, “Too much!”
“Who are you?” A voice said, I turned around to face the girl, the only girl who had spoken.
“My name is Aria!” I said, “What’s yours?”
“Lucy,” She said.
“Okay, first thing I should tell you, I’m as normal as my kind get’s to your kind so I think we’ll do fine with the whole friendship thing, frankly, I think not one human on this planet is normal, Ethan is a great example!”
I smiled, turning to face him, he smiled.
“Friends…?” He asked, putting out his hand.
“Friends,” I said shaking it.
“W-what…?” Jacob asked, “Guys you can’t be friends with someone I hate!”
“I’m the leader,” Ethan said, “I changed the rules.”
I smiled.
“Just stop picking on Damon, okay?”
I looked around, they were all nodding. I turned to Damon.
“Problem solved, little guy!”
With that I crossed the street, the face on Jacob was memorable.
Here is the Twenty-Forth chapters but first...
"That was sooo clever of you to put a KP book in your own KP book hahahaha! I love this so much, it always is reallllllllllllyyyyyyyy good!" by Emily~~The romance writer
"I <3 THIS!!!" from Mollie
I walked through the front door of my house Kasey was looking frantically out the window as if she were watching me then lost me. I walked over to her, she didn’t notice me come in and I patted her on the back.
“I am so proud of you,” I said, “Your pursuing your career of being a spy!”
She slowly turned her head and gulped.
“Yeah lost me didn’t you?”
She nodded.
Kase,” I said, “You really have to stop with the whole spying thing, okay?”
“A,” She said, “Listen to me, like you said I’m trying to pursue my career,”
She was dead serious but I knew she was kidding; I laughed and smacked her across her head. Her nickname for me is A don’t ask me why, I don’t know. But then I remembered something, a memory formed in my head.
Kasey the fourth grader and I the 6th grader were walking hand in hand down the street with our Mom holding hands with David and Lucy ahead of us.
“You need a nickname,” Kasey said flat out.
“Aria is short enough to be a nickname,” I said, “So I don’t need a nickname,”
“No you need a nickname,” Kasey said.
We were walking to the park and Kasey was thinking up a nickname for me.
“How about Ria…?” Kasey asked.
I just stared at her, Ria, I would change my name if that were my name.
“How ‘bout no…?” I said.
She sighed.
“I give up!” She said throwing her hands up.
We arrived at the park and sat down to eat lunch, My Mom had brought a cooler with her for the food and drinks. One by one my Mom emptied the cooler; the first thing that came out was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
“Here David,” She said, handing the sandwich to him.
The next thing she brought out was an apple.
“Matthew, a is for…?”
“Apple!” young Matthew blurted out.
“Good Job!” My Mom said handing the apple to Matthew. Kasey laughed and turned her head to me.
“Aria,” Kasey said, pinching my cheeks, “A is for…?”
Of course she was making fun of my Mom.
Before I could answer, Kasey spoke.
“I got it!” She said jumping up and down, “A is for Aria, you nickname is A,”
“How creative,” I said in a sarcastic tone.
Kasey was so excited, I just rolled my eyes.
“Hello?” Kasey said, snapping her fingers in my face, “Earth to Aria!”
“Oh sorry,” I said, “I just remembered the day that you came up with A for my nickname,”
She giggled.
“How was your date?” She asked.
“Fine,”
“Just fine…?”
I nodded.
She went over to the couch, picked up a book and plopped down on the couch.
“What are you reading?” I asked.
“The best story ever,” She said, “I have to read it for school.”
“What’s it called?” I asked.
“Well, its part of the Un-dead trilogy by M. Holden, it’s called The Visionary!”
"Is it good?" I asked
“You have to read it to find out!” She said waving the book in front of my face.
I grabbed it and walked upstairs. I opened the door, and I sighed. It was so messy! I laid the book gently on my bureau and started cleaning. The only time I stopped cleaning was when it was dinnertime, I quickly ate and went back upstairs to clean. By the time I was done it it was nine ‘o clock, it was a school night so I told everyone good-night and went upstairs. For some reason I couldn’t sleep, maybe it was the fact that it was only nine ‘o clock. I finally got so tired of the fact that well…I wasn’t tired so I got up and grabbed the book that Kasey gave me to read. I opened the book I fell in love with it, I just read and read, I stayed up until three ‘o clock in the morning just reading that book, I finished it in less than twenty-four hours, that’s a record for me! I fell asleep wondering if Clark and Amy could pull it off, couldn’t Marcus and I pull it off? That question roamed my head a while, until I finally fell asleep.
