I walked to the spot where Levi usually runs on Tuesdays and I saw his cloths at the usual spot. I walked up to the them and picked them up; it was only his uniform pants and a white t-shirt, but I could smell his expensive cologne—Levi many thing, but not cheap—and like for the past to days, the feeling of loneliness and missing him returned.

The breeze picked up and that usually happened when Levi was on his run. I heard his paws hitting the ground strong and hard from miles away and I turned to my side, watching his blonde and brown wolf makes his way towards me.

I turned to my side and when he was closer to me, he slowed his paced and when he was only a few feet. He shifted back and he was panting. Long run.

I held his cloths out to him and he grabbed them, slipping them on.

"I'm sorry.", I said to him when he threw his shirt on. "I get it, I'm a bitch. I can't help it, it's who I am. But...", I trailed off, looking down at my black nails, pecking at them.

"But?", he questioned.

"I miss you.", I mumbled.

"Huh? I'm sorry, I didn't hear that.", he said, even though I know well enough with his hearing he did. He just wants me to say it again.

I hesitated, but looked up at his bluish-purple eyes, "I miss you, Levi.",

"Well I never thought I would hear that coming from you.", he said, walking past me and I walked behind him as we made our way out of the woods.

"Tomorrow my birthday.", I said.

"I know, how could I forget?", he asked, never stopping. His voice sounded blank and emotionless. "It was suppose to be the one of the happiest day for the both of us.", he said to himself.

When stepped out of the woods and he went over to his bike.

"Levi, please," I said. "You really hate me, don't you?"

He sighed heavily and looked at me, "I don't hate you, Andria. I'm just...mad. Hurt. You know how hard that is for me of all people to admit? "

And I'm upset. Sure, I was wrong and bitch, but he said he couldn't believe he got stuck with me. That hurt me now that I realize it. "Well your not the only innocent one here. Do you still wish you were going to be with someone else?".

"I only said that cause I was hurt and mad.", he said. "Look, I have to get home and get a shower. Uncle Joe wants me to come over.",

"Why?", I asked. "Something happen to Kaden or Jesse?".

He shrugged, "No, but whoever knows what he wants. When he calls me, it's mostly to help him with something. Probably being lazy again and wants me to cut the front and backyard.".

"Well," I said. "How about I come over later and—",

"You parents aren't going to let you come over.", he said.

"I'm practically eighteen already, they can't control what I do.", I said. "And when have I ever done what my parents say?".

"True.", he said. "I better get going though, I'm already thirty minutes late and I'm sure I'm going to hear it."

I ran my hand threw my hair and nodded, "Okay, sure. Bye.", I said, leaning in for a hug but he slipped on his helmet and started his bike,.

I watched and bit my lower lip. I must've been a real huge bitch to him.

I heard pounding down the steps and I turned my head around, confused. I saw Angelo talking to himself in Greek about 'it's going to be fine' or 'just going to hang out' and crap like that. He was nervous. Why?

"You alright, Angelo?", I asked, getting up.

He jerked, "Oh Lexi, yeah.", he said, shrugging casually.

I crossed my arms across my chest and looked at him questionably, "What's going on?",

He shrugged again, "Nothing.".

I looked at him closely, eyeing him. He looked back, trying to keep call but I can smell nervousness and excitement from a mile away. And telling form his good blue jeans, white beaters, and black and white plaid shirt and his hair all done up, there is something. Does this have something to do with a boy name Dallas who Angelo has been catching with the last two days?

"You got a date.", I said, pointing at him.

He at first looked like a deer about to be hit by car headlights before he fixed his face and chuckled, "What? No, of course not. You have lost your mind, my friend.",

I walked up to him, "I can smell bullshit a mile away, Angelo. Remember who I am? You don't have to lie, it's a good thing.", I said, smiling at him and a huge smile appeared across his face. "Where are you two going?".

"Hey mentions the mall.", he said.

"The mall, that's good.", I said. "You two have fun, someone should at least.",

He frowned, "He hasn't forgiven you?",

"You know what's weird?", I questioned.

"Huh?",

"He punched you flat in the face and you want me to still be with him?", I said really confused.

He shrugged, "I'm a forgiven person, what can I say? But I do plan to get my revenge at one point.", he said. I opened my mouth, but he spoke before me, "And I'm not telling you.",

I closed my mouth and grinned, "Knew you wouldn't anyways. Have fun, but hey, remember: he's really interested in you if he kisses you on the third date.",

He rolled his eyes and leaned down, kissing my forehead, "Lexi, Lexi, Lexi.", he repeated tiredly as he turn and walked over to the door.

I began walking around the couch to sit down when Angelo opened the door and I heard a familiar voice, "Opps, I'm sorry. Andria home?",

I looked up and saw her familiar wavy chestnut brown hair and petite look. My eyes lit up at the sight of Jesse and her eyes did the same thing when she was me. "Jesse!", I did but cry out in excitement as I ran around the couch and over to he

She squealed, "Andria!", she cried and we hugged each other. We hugged each other tightly before we unhooked ourselves. "My, my, my, look at you!", she said, running her fingers threw her hair that has gotten so long. "I almost didn't recognized the same biker chick rebellious girl I use to know.".

"Well I easily recognized you.", I sarcastically said.

She pursed her lips and grinned, "Same attitude I see though.",

"Well you know me.", I said. I looked at Angelo and saw him trying to look friendly, but he looked uncomfortable. "Jesse, this is a good friend of mine from Greece, Angelo. Angelo, this is Jesse. She has been my friend since I moved here to Hayden even though she left me to go to Boston to become a history teacher.", I boringly said.

Jesse chuckled, "Yup, four months gone and you haven't changed. It's nice to meet you.", she said, holding her hand.

Angelo put his hand in hers and shook, "It's nice to meet you to Jesse. Amazing that Lexi became friends with someone so nice and friendly as you. She's a shark.".

"I couldn't agree more!", Jesse said.

Angelo leaned down to my cheek and kissed it, "I better get going though. I'll be back later.",

I nodded, "Have fun.", I said as he walked out.

Jesse looked confused, "Um, Levi would have murder if he was here to see that.", she said.

"He's gay.", I said and she looked surprise. "Long story, but like I said he's my friend from Greece. You know Europeans with kisses on the cheek. He came over for my birthday and right now, he has a date with the school team soccer star player, Dallas.",

"Oh!", she said. "How does Levi feel about him though?",

"Like I said, long story.", I said. "So were is meat head Kaden?", I asked, chuckling.

"At his house with his family. Levi over there.", she said. "I thought I'll come by and surprise you. Where's Helene?",

"Did I just hear my name?", my Yiayia asked as she walked down the steps. She had a big smile on her face, "Jesse, glyka,", Yiayia said as she walked over to us and they hugged tightly. My Yiayia placed her hand on Jesse face, "Beautiful as ever, still.",

Jesse smiled, "Oh Helene, you haven't aged a bit. I have missed you're homemade special tea you make for me."

Yiayia chuckled, wrapping her arm around Jesse and hooked my with her, "My girls.", she said.

After getting a cup of tea, we were sitting at the kitchen table.

"So, your turning eighteen tomorrow.", Jesse said. "You must be excited. Both you and Levi.",

Yiayia and I both made the same look; sad.

She looked confused, "Did I say something?",

"I kind of messed things up over the past couple of day.", I honestly said. "I mean, bigger than I usually do and now Levi mad at me."

"So she finally comes to her senses.", Jesse said and I looked down at my cup of tea. "Kaden and I knew you would, just wish it didn't take that long. Seems like I won the bet still.", she said, smiling in victory. I looked up at her confused, "I said you'll realized before you birthday and Kaden said you would after. I won.",

"I'm turning eighteen tomorrow though.", I pointed out.

She shrugged, "It still didn't pass.",

I rolled my eyes and took a sip, "Anyways yeah, he's mad. I feel bad now.".

"Have you told him that?", she asked and I nodded. "Oh wow. And you apologizing? Must been big. Do you know what your going to do?",

I shook my head, "No.",

She nodded slowly and she looked like she went into thought. "Well, the only way is to show your sorry.",

I looked at her confused, "Huh? What are you talking about? I have tried, but he's being stubborn.",

"I said you have to show him, not tell him.", she said, grinning.

I looked at her confused for a moment, then realized what she was trying to do. I got up, "No, stay out of it Jesse!". I never like her plans cause it always involves something I know I won't like. "Keep you and Melanie ideas away from me.".

She got up, "Oh come on! Knowing me, you know I'm going to want to have to help! Do you own any dresses—",

I covered my ear, "No, no, no! I'll do this myself!",

She pursed her lips, "I don't care, I'm helping. I got this really cute dress I packed that'll go perfect and these really cute sandals—".

"Jesse, I'm not wearing any dresses!",

"Oh yes you are.", she says. "You want Levi to forgive you, right?",

I didn't speak.

"Good. Even, a little lip gloss and Halle Berryperfume is not going to kill you.", she said. She brought her hands up and clapped excitedly, "Tomorrow is going to be so fun!",

I looked at my Yiayia and gave her a look of help, but she just placed her chin on the palm of her hand and smiled.
