and Jeff both staring at me . What?” I say.
    “How come you look so pissed off?” Amy asks.
    I wish that there could be something between Jase and I, but there’s no way I’m going for a one-night stand.  “Adam is trying to tell me that Jase has the hots for me, but there no way I’ll do anything about it. Heather told me that he’s just like my brothers.”
    “Really, Maggie, since when have you ever listened to what other people say?” Jeff said. They’re right, but I’ve seen how my brothers are.  
    “Yeah, maybe, but she’s telling the truth and I don’t want to get hurt.” 
    “Whatever. Anyway, what are you doing tonight?” Amy asks.
    I look at her , wondering what she’s up to. “Nothing, why? What’s up?”
    “There’s a bonfire over at Sarah’s tonight. Want to go?”
    “Sure,” I say, just as Mrs. Mills walks in.
     
     
     

Chapter 4 (Jase)
     
    As soon as Heather and I got home from the Summers’ ranch, Mom and Dad ask us about our first day of school and our new friends. “We had a great time with Adam and Maggie, and school was good,” Heather says.
    “Yeah, I got to play football with them and some of Adam’s friends, and their mom is an awesome cook. You and Dad should go out there some time,” I say.
    I can’t stop thinking about Maggie. She’s not like girls from New York, that’s for sure. She likes getting down and dirty, and she doesn’t care what anyone thinks. I’ve got to say, that’s refreshing. When I saw that gorgeous girl covered in dirt and found out that she helps her dad on the ranch, I was blown away. I didn’t think girls did stuff like that.  I’m guessing that most of the girls here do the same thing. I know that I will never be good enough for someone like her because I don’t date and, as hot as she is, I could never try anything with her. I like her and respect her too much.
    “We are so happy that you two had a good time. Maybe you’d like to invite them over here one night this week so we can get to know them,” Mom says.
    We hear footsteps on the stairs, and see April and her friend, Tina, come down. “‘Bye, Mr. and Mrs. Jacks.” She glances at me and then looks again. “Oh, wow, April. Your brother is hot.” We all stare at her, shocked.
    “And he’s too old for you. Besides, I think he has his eyes on someone else,” Heather says and grins at me. Damn, shut up, Heather. Now Mom and Dad are going to ask questions. It doesn’t matter, though. Once she finds out about my rep, she’ll steer clear of me.
    “Heather, seriously, why can’t you keep your mouth shut? Anyway, I’m not the only one. I seem to remember someone not being able to take her eyes off of a certain boy,” I point out.
    Mom and Dad look at both of us and are about to say something when April’s friend says, “She means Madison High’s sweetheart, Maggie, and I’m guessing that the boy you’re talking about is her brother, Adam, right? I’m telling you right now that Maggie doesn’t do one-night stands, and that’s all Adam does.  I’ve known them forever.”
    I really want to tell her to shut up . I look over at April and give her a look that says she better get her out of here. Just what we need is this brat saying stuff like that to our parents. I mean, come on. What the hell is this girl’s problem? Is she just that jealous of Maggie?  I look over at Heather and she looks just as pissed off as I am. “This isn’t any of our business except to say that I really hope that you’re both careful,” Mom says. I say goodnight to everyone, and head upstairs for a shower and bed.

    When I arrive at school the next morning, I see Josh walking towards Maggie so I step in front of him.  Was he so dense that he didn’t get that she didn’t want him touching her? Adam gives me a small nod of thanks, and Maggie touches my back. I would really like it if she touched me more. Damn, no, I can’t think like that. “Keep bugging my sister and see
