Did she really have a say in the matter? The last thing she wanted Jason to do would be to start hinting at her current ‘slut status’, and get Mike suspicious. Besides, the project was important, so working on it together for the afternoon was justified, she admitted.
“Ok, great! Be seeing you, Mike,” Jason said, giving Mike a friendly wave goodbye.
“Oh, uh...you too, Jason! I’ll call you later, Jade! Bye,” Mike responded after a pause, clearly still unsure as to how to react to Jason’s apparent change of heart.
“Bye, sweetie! I’ll be waiting for that call!”

“Why are you treating Mike so nicely?”
“Well, can’t I?”
The pair was now in Jason’s van, driving over to his place, with Jade riding shotgun.
“You used to bully him for fun, asshole! Why the sudden change of heart?” Jade demanded.
“My life doesn’t revolve around beating up that loser nerd, you know. I can do whatever the hell I want. Besides, if I wanted to, there’s plenty of other fucking losers in school to pick on.” Jason replied.
Unbeknownst to Jade, Jason had an ulterior motive for getting into Mike’s good graces, or at the very least, getting Mike to view him as a non-enemy.
However, that is a story for another time...
“Why did my partner for the project have to be you?” Jade grumbled, clearly unhappy about the situation at hand.
