The rest of the day went smoothly; they boys kept a close eye on Kate to make sure she was okay. Kate looks at the clock on the wall, "Jasmine, it's time to close up the shop!" Kate puts up her apron and starts to wash the dishes. "Kate are you sure your going to be okay? One of us could walk you home." Jake asks Kate and dries the dishes with her. Kate shakes her head and turns the water off, "Jake I'm fine. You don’t have to take care of me like I’m your sister." Kate grabs her backpack and a few books she bought, "See you tomorrow Jasmine!" Kate walks out the door and down the street. Jasmine walks out, "Boys have you done something to Kate? She didn’t seem like herself. Whatever has happened I hope that you try to work through it." Jake and Ian say at the same time. "We are." Jasmine nods and shows the boys out. "Jake we have to do more then just talk to her. We have to do something to show her that we can work thru this." Jake agreed, "We should brainstorm some ideas, pull the ideas together tomorrow." They went they're separate ways and walked home.

What happened to me at the store? I don’t like either of them, so what was that feeling when Ian caught me?? Kate sighs and walks into her house. "Mom, I'm home! Kayla's coming over at six, I'll be up in my room. Call me if you need me!" Kate walks up to her room, she stops at her little brothers room. She pokes her head in, "Hey Jamie. What are you doing?" Jamie looks up from his notebook, "Writing. Why?" Kate walks over and sits on his bed. "What's it about? Or is it something you don’t want your older sister reading?" Jamie looks at her like she's crazy, "I guess you can read it . . . its about a girl I met, the problem is that she likes Mark." Kate looks at the notebook, and realizes it’s almost like what she's going thru. "Jamie have you told her that you like her? It might help, but you should talk with Mark to see if he likes her. If he does then you should find someone else." She hands her brother's notebook back to him, "Do you really think that any girl might like me?" Kate smiles at her brother. "Of course! I bet she's out there right now and you just don’t know it! Who wouldn’t like you?" Kate ruffles his hair and gets up. "If you need any answers, you can come to me." Jamie picks up his pencil and starts writing again. "Thanks Kate. See you at dinner." Kate goes into her room and sighs. I can believe that it could have happened to him. Well when I was twelve I had a crush on Jake . . . so I guess it could happen for anyone. Kate sits down by her window and starts reading one of her books.
