With a sigh I slammed my locker door shut. I had to find Pheobe. I had to hear her version of the story. Not because I wanted to dig into her and Dakota's previous relationship, but maybe she could give me some advice about how I could tackle my criminal minded boyfriend Jason?

With my history books in my arms, I walked down the hallway, toward the library. Pheobe used to be in there. Not because she hadn’t anyone to be with. Pheobe was cute looking and clever. She just hated High School intrigues.

"Pheobe?” I whispered as I walked into the library. I went down to the sofas, which stood in the back of the library, but she wasn’t there.

"Pheobe?”

"Shhhhhh!” A librarian hissed at me, looking accusingly at me behind her disc.

"Sorry.” I muttered before someone tapped my shoulder.

"This way.” Pheobe whispered with a smile, and pulled me into another department of the school library. We sat down in some red chairs, surrounded by the books with the theme ”Love & Lust".

Pheobe had a stack of books in her arms, which she sat on the table beside us. She took one of books, and pretended she was reading the back of it. She knew why I was here.

"Pheobe...” I said in a serious note.

"Yes?” She smiled sweetly.

"When were you going to tell me that you had been dating Dakota Jackall?” I said, raising my eyebrows. Pheobe just shrugged.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She muttered indistinctly. I pushed her arm.

"Pheobe, Jason told me about you. You were quite popular in their smelly house?” I smiled, trying to get her to open up for me.

"Well...” she smiled to herself and took off her glasses. ”It's a long time ago.” she sighed, and wiped her spectacles in her shirt.

"Why didn’t you tell me about him?” I asked quietly. I was actually a bit disappointed about the fact Pheobe had kept a secret from me. That she had never mentioned it.

"Oh, polish your hola, like you don’t know how it is!" Pheobe hissed. ”You don’t think that it’s annoying that people think it’s oh so weird that you’re dating Jason McCann?”

I leaned back in the beanbag and looked over at her. She shook her head.

“I'd rather just forget about it all,” she said with a sigh.

I stretched myself and stroked her arm.

”Hey, it's okay. Remember, you can always come to me if you want to talk about it sometime.” I said trying to sound supportive, and remembered how Jason had told me about how Pheobe’s parents had threatened her to stay away from Dakota.

She smiled weakly at me. ”Thank you.”

“Can I ask you something?” I asked after a few minutes of silence. She turned her head, and looked sadly at me.

“Now that you've tried to have a... criminal boyfriend. You might have some advice?” I asked hesitantly.

Pheobe looked slightly confused, but nodded. ”Well, what kind of advice are you thinking about?” She replied.

"Oh well...” I said with a sigh.” Jason is starting to become overprotective. Very overprotective...” I said, and remembered earlier today when we sat in his car this morning.

"Come to my house after school, okay?" I said and kissed Jason on the cheek.
