Elizabeth POV.
        Everything's been going to place, but today. I needed to know somebody. Somebody's relative that I'm falling for.

Hard!! Jerk, still hasn't asked me out yet. He's been having so many love letters. Hate it, but can't do anything about it. I've informed Owen I'm having a day off and I promised to never skip school again this term!! Cause I can't wait.

I wore my black overcoat and took my backpack and car keys. Then I left.

I got to Diamond, and parked my car.  I was going when I saw someone drive in. I saw the person, Tiffany, and she placed her head on the steering wheel, her morning that bad? I sighed and knocked in her window, her eyes lit up when she saw me and she got out immediately.

"Good....."

"Good morning, i can't reach Toby. I went to his house he wasn't there and I need his help. So where's he?" I asked me.

"I.... I don't know. But, we can ask Stephen!!" She said.

"Where is Stephen?" I asked her.

"I'll show....."

"No, i don't have to follow you. Just tell me where he is!!" I said.

"Okay. He should be in the gymn or....."

"Know what? I can here for Jacklyn Hamilton, do you know her?" I asked her.

"Yes. She's a sophomore here, at Diamond!!" She replied. Urgh!!

"Nooo. I thought she was a sophomore at Audroun." I said sarcastically.

"Anyways, where's she?" I asked her.

"I don't know!!" She said. Right!!

"Okay. Now, I don't want to Know or interfere with you guys issues but if you are the reason Toby's like this? Then you're in big trouble, cause i won't want you hurt my friend!!" I said and left. I entered Diamond and they were all staring at me, I got to the 'Populars' hangout and I barged in.

"Ew, Gross wear a shirt!!" I said and the girl rolled over and the guy shyly quickly took a shirt.

"I'd have love to take a seat but I don't really like seating on semen!!" I said and Kylie, I guess wore her top.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Jacklyn Hamilton, I want you to tell me where she is!!" I said.

"I'm not your spy bitch. You can't just walk in and start spitting shit!!" She said.

"You know you should take pills to relax girl. One, I didn't call you a spy. Two. I'm not a bitch okay, i don't sleep around, I don't do shit k? You might be referring to yourself, i mean, I don't judge but I don't think this is a one time thing and if your name ends with 'ly' I know it should be Riley or Kylie in Diamond. Now let's settle this popular to popular okay? Do you know Jacklyn Hamilton?" I asked.

"Get out!!" She yelled. I rolled my eyes.

"Enjoy your early morning sex, actually good for girls!!" I said and left.

I'm not in a very good mood today and I just need to find Jacklyn Hamilton.

I stopped and I saw their 'class president' Andrew, very cute. I opened the door and he looked stunned.

"Hi!!" I said and sat on the chair.

"H-hi, uhmm, wel- what? I don't, I don't mean to sound rude but uhmm, what.... What are you...."

"Jacklyn Hamilton, do you know her?" I asked him.

"Of course I do!!" He said. Whoa. He even knows sophomores.

"Great. What does she do on a Friday?" I asked him.

"She's not predictable!!" He said.

"Just help me!!" I said.

"Actually, I don't think I should give information to other people other than Diamond students, in fact, I can't give someone else routine to....." I went to his front and sat on his table.

"Look at me Andrew. Please, help me!!" I said and gave him my puppy eyes.

"I....." He said.

"Please......." I begged holding his tie.

"The uniform looks cute on you!!" I said and he blushed.

"T-thanks. I.... I like your uhmm....."

"So, just help me!!" I said, straightened his tie and gave him a flirty look.

"Kay. She comes to school with coffee early mornings, goes to her locker, goes to the back of the gym room and all happens in 7:55. When the bell rings, she goes to first period and she has class, lunch time, she goes to the back of the gym and eat. After that, goes to school and after school's over, she leaves." He said. Whoa. I checked my time, 7:30, I can get her.

"Where's your gym?"

--------------

"Thank you very much Andrew!!" I said and pecked him.

"You're...... You're welcome, I.... Uhmm,...."

"I'll take it from here!!" I said. He nod.

"Okay, uhmm, Elizabeth Nelson right?" He asked.

"Yeah!!" I replied.

"I...... You're very pretty!!" He said.

"Awwn, thanks!!" I said.

"You're cute too!!" I added.

"Thanks!!" He said.

Then I heard a voice. I saw the same picture I saw at Stefan's. Golden locks and grey eyes. She is very beautiful.

"I....."

"I understand. It was nice meeting you!!" He said.

"Yeah!!" I said and he left. I smiled and sighed. I followed her to the back of the gym, whoa. A door? She closed it and i knocked.

"Name?" I heard her voice.

"Elizabeth!!" I said.

"That's new, come in!!" She said. I opened the door to see grey eyes meeting mine! I looked around and saw pictures of cars, guns, wrestles, Dwayne Johnson.

"Wait a sec, aren't you the girl that came to my house looking all stupid?" She asked.

"Ouch." I said.

"You've been the Elizabeth my brother has been obsessed with?" She asked.

"Well, I .... I won't say obsessed cause...."

"Yeah right. He's not for sale for people like you!!" She said.

"You know you shouldn't judge people!!" I said.

"Not to sound pathetic but if you've been me for all your life, you will!!" She said.

"Jacklyn, I..... I know what you've gone through!!" I said.

"Get out."

"But if you just please let me....."

"If you want to date my brother, you can. But I don't care!!" She said.

"Well I care!!" I said.

"Why?"

"Because I want to be friends with you!!" I said.

"Well I don't want to!!" She said.

"Then I won't force you. But I'm always there!!" I said. I wrote my number in a sheet.

"You can call me anytime!!" I told her.

"Just leave!!"

-------------------

"Is she always like that?" I asked him.

"Well, let's just say Jacklyn don't trust easily!! Since she was little, she always had a mind of her own. And a very different one at that!!" He said.

"Crazy, I mean, I just want to he friends and she just cut me off!!" I said.

"Muffin, Jacklyn Hamilton isn't an easy person. And you guys are quite the same, just that she's hundred times stubborn, always does things her way and she's not FRIENDLY." He said.

"Then she's nothing like me!!" I said.

"Believe me, you have things." He said.

"Whatever!!" I said, smiled, i looked up and saw Zach. Oh no, I blew him off.

"Uhmm, Jace, I'll talk to you later!!" I said.

"Sure. And I must say, it's so good smelling the great air. I hate hoodies for life!!" He said. I giggled.

"See yah later." I said and he left. I walked to Zach's locker.

"Hi!!" I said. He looked at me.

"It's been 195 hours, six days and thousands of seconds!!" He said.

"Zach. I'm sorry. I really am." I said.

"Can i make it up to you? Maybe tomorrow we can have fun?" I asked him.

"Are you dating him?" He asked.

"Who?"

"Jace? The girls crush now?" He asked.

"No, I'm not!!" I said. But I wish too.

"Okay, I'll pick you up at 5!!" He said.

"Thank you. Hug?" I asked. He smiled and hugged me.

"Great. See you!!" I said and walked to my office.

"ELIZABETH Nelson!!" Owen said.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry." I said and sat on my chair.

"Fiona's got everything covered up!!" He said.

"Thanks Fi!!" I said.

"I work hard when I'm paid!!" She said and I smiled.

"Okay, so Fiona, prepare the cheeseburgers!!" Owen said.

"We have a meeting!!"

-----------------

"Welcome back sis."

"Hey Betty, how's been your day?" I asked her as I carried Honey.

"A lazy one. Dad's traveled, gone to Africa, gonna stay for two weeks or so and I'm needed at Chicago for the grand opening of my friends company." She said.

"How many days?" I asked.

"Three. But don't worry, I'll be back before you know it." She said.

"Ohkay....., I'll see you soon then." I said.

"I'm having a night flight, would you see me off?" She asked.

"I'm pretty busy." I told her.

"Please." She pleaded.

"Okay." I said and I went to my room.

"How was your day to Honey?" I asked.

I patted her back and I went to the bathroom, I had a bath and went to my closet, wore a nice blue top and black sweats. I ate lunch, did homework and all planning. Met with Fiona, to do all work and when I was done.

---------------

I turned off the ignition and looked at the  house in front of me. I got down and knocked. And a beautiful woman opened.

"Elizabeth." She said. I smiled.

"Hi Heather." I greeted. I hugged her and we chatted for a while. After eating apple pie, and saying my goodbyes, I left.

----------

  I was at rock island and smiled looking at the beautiful blue sea. I remembered the first time i came to this place. I was scared of falling, I was annoyed with Jace and I was dating Kelvin. Where is that dude anyway?

I sighed and took and inhaled that fresh air.
I started reminiscing.

A lot of things had happened however, I couldn't believe I did all what i have done. I cheated on my boyfriend, I broke up with my boyfriend, I started falling for another boy, I went on adventures with him, I tried to make his aunt like me, I played cupid and got my friends together. I did a brief 'operation get him jealous.' I went to see my  beloved sister. I settled my differences with my sisters. I became vice president.

Damn!

  All these weren't part of my plans. I never wished for all these. But they just happened.  I guess Serendipity happened. It's part of life anyways. I noticed that my once less perfect life had become bearable.

I had sisters who still want to be a part of my life. And i vice versa. I had a father. I had friends who will be by my side forever and i had a wonderful guy who showed me another part of me.

A larger part of life. And a larger of my life. I smiled.

For goodness sake,  i had always focused on the bad side of my life that i forgot the blessings i had. Well, now. I've learnt also that part of life. And it was time.

It was time to focus of the good,  large part of my life. It was time to live and find happiness. But then again, i don't have to look for happiness. It had always been there.

I smiled and closed my eyes. After a minute, I stood up and left.

------------

When i got home, Fiona and I played catch with Honey, and when it was night. I saw Betty off and I went home. Ate dinner, texted Jace Goodnight and cuddled Honey to sleep.
