"What day is today?" Morgan demanded as she slid into the kitchen.

I gave my sister a look, pushing a piece of toast into the toaster before answering, "Friday."

She looked like she was going to faint. "Oh, I was right. Tomorrow is Saturday."

"What?"

"I'm getting married tomorrow," Morgan blinked, and I couldn't help but smile at how excited she was. "I'm actually getting married tomorrow. Tomorrow's the day that everything is going to change."

I smiled at my sister. "Are you happy or worried?"

"I'm definitely happy!" she nearly shouted, and the way she was acting almost made me laugh. This was not like usual Morgan, so I knew that she was really nervous about the next day. "I just can't believe that it's actually happening tomorrow after so long!"

I couldn't do anything but keep smiling at her. I was so glad that she was happy, and I was glad that my parents hadn't done anything to stop her from doing what she wanted. She was a grown adult now, unlike me, so she could do whatever she wanted without my parents' permission.

"So, I'm spending the night at Blake's tonight, but we'll both definitely be at the wedding tomorrow," I informed my sister now as my piece of toast popped out of the toaster and I grabbed it. "Thanks again, for letting him come."

Morgan giggled as I buttered my toast. "I would have invited him even if you didn't want him to come! I seriously love that guy. He's perfect for you."

I smiled. "Yeah, he is."

"If only Mom and Dad could see that," Morgan now sighed as she sat beside me at the kitchen island. "Mom still thinks I'm making a huge mistake marrying Kyle, but at least she's not stopping me from doing so. But it's different with you and Blake, because I'm pretty sure she won't ever be okay with the two of you together."

"It's because you never had someone like Sean," I sighed angrily, slashing at my toast now and jabbing a huge hole through it. I merely dropped it onto my plate, done with it now. "You never had another guy that mom thought was perfect following you everywhere you went. Mom will always want me to be with Sean or even Derrick."

Morgan shrugged her shoulders. "Well, at least we know that she's only acting that way because she loves us and just wants to best for us."

I couldn't help but make a face at her. "Yeah, sure."

Morgan smiled at me, ruffling my hair before turning away from me and heading out the kitchen door. I looked down at my ruined toast, my appetite now completely gone. I guess I could have just gone to school early, then...

When my phone started to ring, I almost jumped because I wasn't expecting it. I looked down at the caller ID to see that it was Blake, which only confused me even more because I didn't think there was any reason for him to call me right then.

I blinked as I answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Come outside."

This caused me to blink again. "Why?"

"Just come out and you'll see."

I didn't hang up the phone as I got up from my seat and slowly made my way to the front door. I opened it, and much to my surprise, I saw a shiny new car right in front of my house, Blake in the driver's seat.

"You got a car?" I asked, still on the phone as I made my way toward his car.

He chuckled. "Yep."

"How did you get it?" I questioned now.

He shrugged. "My dad got it for me."

I was up to the passenger's side window now. "Seriously?"

"Yep," he said with a nod.

"Why are we still on the phone?"

Blake laughed. "I don't know, why don't you tell me?"

We both hung up, now both of us laughing for our behavior. I still couldn't believe that Blake's father had given him such an expensive car. I didn't even know Blake could drive, since he always walked almost everywhere he went.

"Why did your dad get you a car?" I asked him now as I got into the passenger's seat, placing my backpack by my feet as he started the car. "I thought you said you and your dad don't have that great of a relationship."

Blake shrugged as he turned a corner. "I told him I walk almost everywhere around town and he said that that wasn't safe. So he got me a car so I could drive everywhere now instead of walking."

"Oh. For a second I thought I missed you birthday," I sighed, relieved that that wasn't the reason why Blake had gotten the car. "I would have felt absolutely horrible if that was the case."

"You did miss my birthday," he laughed now, and if I had been driving I would have slammed on the breaks. "But it's not a big deal."

"Not a big deal?" I demanded, the thought of missing my own boyfriend's birthday almost making my heart stop. "It's a huge deal, Blake! I don't even know when your birthday is!"

He laughed again. "Because I never told you."

"Why didn't you ever tell me?" I nearly squawked.

I felt like a horrible girlfriend for not only missing, but also not even knowing my own boyfriend's birthday. I couldn't remember if he knew mine or not, but that wasn't the important right then since it wasn't coming for a few more months.

Blake shrugged. "It passed by when we weren't that close to each other."

"Well?" I demanded as he now parked the car in the school's parking lot. "When's your birthday?"

Blake rolled his eyes at me. "November twelfth."

"I'm going to get you something amazing next year," I promised as we both got out of the car. "It'll be your eighteenth birthday, so I'll definitely make sure it's something great."

Blake laughed, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "Alright."

"Did you hear all the rumors about Mr. Meyers and Ms. Norton?" was the first thing I heard when we walked into school later that morning, though the voices saying it weren't talking to me. "Everyone's talking about how they've been flirting ever since Mrs. Norton got here. Don't you think that's adorable?"

"Not really," the girl she was talking to denied, her face scrunched into a disgusted look. "That means Mr. Meyer's is off limits, which totally isn't fair. We didn't even have the chance to have him yet!"

That meant these girls were either freshman or sophomores, since Mr. Meyers taught juniors only. But the only thing that was running through my mind was what they had been saying about our two teachers. If Carrie and Mr. Meyers were seeing each other, that meant he'd probably stop liking me... Which was definitely a good thing!

I'd talk to Carrie about it after school. There wasn't any reason why she wouldn't tell me the truth, anyway... But it was weird to think that she was with Mr. Meyers after everything that had happened between him and me. And I was also surprised that she didn't rub it in Blake's face the second she and Mr. Meyers started dating, since he always made fun of her for being single.

"Hey, hey!" a new girl now shouted as she ran up to the two gossipers. "Come on, we're going to miss it! Two seniors on the football team are fighting over some girl! Come on, we've got to go now so we can see it!"

The three girls scampered off, and I was glad because now I didn't have to listen to them talk any longer. For a moment I was almost afraid that it was Sean that they were talking about, but I knew he wouldn't fight any guy over a girl that wasn't me.

When we got to my locker, I opened it before turning toward Blake. I smiled at him, but he seemed almost... troubled. He was different now than he was before. Without even thinking twice, I asked him what the matter was.

"These rumors about Carrie and Mr. Meyers," he told me stubbornly, and it almost made me laugh. Of course he was worrying about something like that. "It's weird, because Carrie's pretty much like my sister, and you know how protective I am. Not to mention the guy she's supposedly seeing was a guy that was after you, and might even still be."

"You worry too much," I couldn't help but coo, reaching up and pinching his cheek like an old woman would. I let go when his cheek turned red, and I wasn't sure if it was because of my pinching or because he was embarrassed. Either way, it was still adorable.

"Not to mention Jane and Elias seem to be getting pretty close as well," Blake muttered unhappily, staring down the hallway at the two people he was talking about. I turned to look at them as well, and couldn't smile when I saw how close the two of them were walking as they laughed and talked at her locker. "There's something I just don't like about that guy."

I rolled my eyes at my boyfriend. "You don't like him because you thought he wanted to date me."

"He asked you if you were single not even five minutes after you met."

"You were eavesdropping on our conversation."

"... That's not important."

I looked back down at Elias and Jane. They were so cute together, and I couldn't help but wonder if they had become a couple yet or not. They'd always sit next to each other and talk at lunch, but neither of them had said anything to me about the other. I was going to have to ask one of them about it later.

"That's not important?" I laughed at him now, and he looked away from me out of embarrassment. "You didn't want him at your party last week because you thought he wanted me. Just admit it, Blake. You love me so much and you're jealous because of it!"

Blake crossed his arms over his chest, leaning up against the locker next to mine. He said nothing, but he didn't even have to. I already knew the answer without him even having to say it, and it made me feel really happy.

"Is there a problem with me being jealous?" he asked stubbornly after a minute or two of silence. "You're my girlfriend, not anybody else's. After everything with Sean, I just get worried. I still find it hard to believe that you're with me."

I couldn't help but smile at him, moving closer and wrapping my arms around his neck. I just didn't understand why he was so worried that someone was going to take me away from him. I hadn't ever felt the way I felt with him with anyone else, and I knew I wouldn't feel this way toward anyone else for the rest of my life.

I pressed my lips against his, smiling into the kiss once he responded. I didn't care if we were right in the middle of the hallway, and I didn't care that people were staring at us. The teasing and harassing had gone down immensely since Cassie and Sean had started dating, but there would still be an occasional asshole that would give me a hard time.

"Ahem," a new voice suddenly coughed from beside us, and I pulled away from Blake to glare at Cassie. I hadn't spoken to her since she started dating Sean, and I didn't think that I'd ever have to deal with her ever again. I guessed that I was wrong.

"Cassie," I greeted, wanting to make it obvious that I wasn't happy with seeing her. "What a surprise it is to see you."

She rolled her eyes at me. "What a surprise it isn't to see you and Blake Solo making out in front of the entire school."

I ignored this. "What do you want, Cassie?"

"I'd just like to know if you were planning on going to your sister's wedding tomorrow," she informed me now.

My eyebrows furrowed at her. "Of course I'm going to my sister's wedding. It's my sister. Why do you even ask?"

"Because," she grinned now, and I didn't like where this was going at all. "Sean and I are going."

This could not be happening. They were the last people that I wanted to see at my sister's wedding! They were definitely going to do something to ruin the entire thing for me, and maybe even Morgan! Why the hell were they even going?

"Why are you going to the wedding?" I voiced my thoughts, except out loud I was a lot nicer.

She shrugged. "The groom is Derrick's brother. Derrick invited Sean and me, along with Leslie. I just wanted to let you know that we're very excited to see you there."

She turned away from us then and walked off down the hall, and I had no idea what I was supposed to do or say. All I knew was that if Cassie or Sean somehow ruined my sister's wedding, I was going to kill them no matter what.

"Well," Blake said right after the bell had rung. "This is going to be fun."

All I could do was continue to look in the direction Cassie had left in. "More like a total nightmare."

The school day went by quickly, just like it usually had been the last few weeks, but it was definitely something I was happy about. Instead of waiting after class to talk to Carrie, I went to my locker to put a few of my books away so I no longer had to carry them. After I was finished, I quickly scampered back toward the art room to ask her about Mr. Meyers.

As I made my way to the art room, I couldn't help but wonder where Blake had gone off to. If he wasn't in the art room, he had to have been at his locker...

"Hey, Carrie, I was just wondering if I could ask you about--" I started once I opened the door to the art room and stepped inside, but I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw what was going on in the classroom before me. Carrie was sitting on her desk, a tall figure standing over her and pinning her to the desk as they made out. This was definitely not something I was expecting.

I was about to apologize for interrupting her and Mr. Meyers, but then I realized that the guy she was with wasn't Mr. Meyers.

It was Elias.

"I'm, uh..." was all I was able to say at first when the broke away from each other to stare at me, the shock way too hard for me to handle. "I'm sorry for interrupting!"

I quickly scurried out of the classroom, not believing what I had just witnessed. Carrie and Elias were making out on her desk. A teacher and a student were making out on the teacher's desk. Two of my friends, who I thought were in relationships with other people, were making out in a classroom!

I was surprised to see Blake right outside the classroom once I barged out of it, slamming the door behind me and clutching onto my chest as I breathed in and out heavily.

Blake gave me a look that asked me what was wrong, and I nearly shouted, "What is wrong with the teachers at this school?"

Blake's eyebrows furrowed at me. "What are you talking about?"

I turned back toward the classroom, grabbing onto the door handle and pushing the door open. I stepped back inside with Blake right behind me, only to see Carrie and Elias still making out like they had when I barged in on them the first time.                                    

"What's wrong with you two?" I couldn't help but shout at them. This sure made them pull apart. "You two, a student and a teacher, just got caught, but then go back to making out like nothing even happened?"

Elias chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head. "Well, we kind of assumed you weren't going to tell anyone..."

I wouldn't tell anyone, considering both of them were such good friends of mine. The last thing I wanted to do was get the two of them into any type of trouble.

"But I thought..." I swallowed, unable to speak for a few moments. "I thought that you were with Mr. Meyers! I've heard a bunch of rumors about kids seeing you together..."

Carrie giggled, and I would have felt stupid if I wasn't in complete and total shock over what I had just witnessed. I guessed that it was better that there were rumors about her and Mr. Meyers being together than her and Elias being together...

"There are a lot of rumors about Mr. Meyers," Carrie shrugged. "I don't think anyone would actually believe anything they heard about Mr. Meyers and me."

I still felt like I had just been slapped in the face with a fish. "Well, sometimes rumors can be true!"

Carrie smiled at me slightly. "I guess you're right. You would know, right? With Mr. Meyers and everything, considering you two have a... history..."

"What?" Elias nearly shouted, and I was in too much of a shock from what Carrie had said to really react to him at first. "You were in a relationship with the teacher all the girls are after? Hypocrite!"

Without even denying it, I turned toward Blake and glared at him. There was only one way Carrie could have known about what happened between Mr. Meyers and me, and that was Blake. Did he really have to tell her about something like that?

"She was never in a relationship with that teacher," Blake snapped now, taking a protective step toward me. This made me a little less annoyed at him for telling Carrie. "He told her he liked her and she denied him. That was all that happened between them."

Carrie blinked, as if she didn't understand. "But you told me they kissed."

"Blake!" I couldn't help but snap at him. "You weren't supposed to tell anybody!"

"Well, I thought it was fine if Carrie knew," my boyfriend shrugged, and the redhead smiled at me when I glanced over at her. "I didn't think that she'd ever step foot into the school, so I didn't think it was a problem. I didn't know she'd become a teacher here and then end up spilling it in front of another student."

My head was starting to hurt. This was just so much information that I was not anticipating. I did not think that I was going to walk in here to see a student and a teacher kissing each other, especially when I thought both of them were in relationships with other people.

Speaking of which...

"Wait, I thought you were dating Jane!" I practically squeaked to Elias now. "You two are almost always together whenever I see you!"

Elias laughed nervously, scratching at the back of his head. "She's a great girl, but we're only friends. Not to mention she's crazy about Thomas."

I nearly fell over, and it seemed like it was the same for Blake. "What?" I demanded, not expecting him to say this to me. "Jane likes Thomas? How do you know?"

Elias blinked. "She told me."

She told Elias that she liked Thomas, but not Blake or me? Why would she tell Elias something like that and not me? Or even Blake? She had known Blake longer, and I was a girl! But instead of telling either of us, she told a guy that she'd only known for a couple of months!

As if he could tell how ticked off I was, Elias laughed nervously again and took a step away from me. "She didn't tell you because she thought you'd tell Blake, and she knew Blake wouldn't be happy with her liking his wanker of a brother."

Damn him and his stupid English accent. It made me feel a little less annoyed about everything, but it still didn't make me feel any better about one of my friends not telling me that they liked another one of my friends. Well, if you could call Thomas my friend.

I rubbed at my temples now, not believing this was all happening. "My head hurts."

"We should probably go," Blake sighed, his hand taking mine as he turned toward Carrie. "Leah's going to be at my house tonight, so it'd be much appreciated if you didn't use your cock-blocking powers tonight."

Elias looked at Carrie as if she was insane, but she only giggled as she waved us away. "Fine, fine. I'll see you both on Monday."

Blake had to practically lead me out of the classroom and all the way to his car. Once we got out of the school, the shock was starting to go away and I wasn't as angry as I had been. I just had to have a relaxing night with Blake so I wouldn't feel horrible at Morgan's wedding...

Now all I had to do was hope that Cassie and Sean didn't make it horrible for me.
