Jackie stepped outside and closed the door. She really didn't want to speak to him, but because of the nice mannered girl she HAD to be, she had no choice.
"Make it quick, what do you want?" Jackie said crossing her arms over her chest and knealing against the wall.
"I just want to say that I really think that your making a big--"
"A big mistake? Why is everyone so worried about this anyway?"
"Because I lover you but you push me outta the way all the time!" Jackie saw the sadness and plead in his eyes, but she didn't want to go through this all over again.
"How many times have you told me that, Lock? And how many times do I have to say that I'm not interested?"
"At least once more. Plus, the one thing you havent told me is that you don't care about me." Jackie was puzzled, in her mind she was screaming "I don't care!!!" but she couldn't bring herself to say that outloud. Lock changed his forwn into and enormouse smile.
"I knew it... I knew you cared about me!" he pointed at Jackie and looked as is she was a pile of gold, which she was, to him.
"Go away Lock." Jackie slammed the door behind her and marched into the kitchen.
"How was Lock?" Both Jackie and Sally asked. Jackie shook her head, giving the expression "do i look bovvered?" it fooled Jack, but not Sally. Jackie went to her room and was looking over her speech. Now that she had more time to work on the speech she thought she bettere make a start on giving and effort, she was disturbed by Sally walking in and sitting next to her, staring.
"What?" Jackie asked.
"Just thought I'd come in, see how you are, ya'know."
"Well I'm fine, I'm just doing my speech... in private." Sally finally got the hint and walked out. Obviously Jack was listening and got the idea that Lock had said something.
Jack ran to LSB treehouse and slammed their door. He heard somebody comming yelling.
"You didn't have to knock the whole door down ya--" Shock looked at Jack in suprise.
"Jack. What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I'm hear to see your no-good-stinking-bother of a friend Lock."
"LLOOCCKK! IT'S FOR YOUUUU.." Lock came to the door and decided quickly to shut the door behind him.
"Hello Jack, how may I help you?" he asked casually.
"What did you say to my daughter?"
"Why nothing that offended her I hope."
"Well you must have said something, she hasnt said anything since you left!"
"I didn't leave, she slammed the door in my face," Jack had enough of him stalling, he grabbed his collor and pushed Lock to the door, hearing the thunk that must have been his head.
"I'm asking you again, Lock, what..did..you..say??"
"Nothing. Do you like Moogie?"
"What?"
"Moogie. Moogie Boogie. Do you like him?"
"Well, no not really, he's a Boogie h-- What has that gotta do with anything?"
"I can help you"
"What?"
"I can help get rid of Moogie, stop him from being with Jackie!"
"How?"
"Come in, Jack. Make yourself comfortable.
