Alex and I were walking out of last period together when his cell phone rang. It was Jen and from only hearing Alex's side of the conversation I could tell that she wasn't happy. I guess I was being nosey but I followed him to his locker so I could try to figure out what was going on. He kept saying "calm down" and "are you sure?" and "don't do that - don't do anything until you know for sure."

As you can imagine, I was very curious. I waited until he hung up and then he looked at me and said, "you don't want to know." But I did want to know! The problem with Alex is that he's very good at keeping things to himself so I couldn't get anything out of him.

I finally gave up. I went to my locker, got my stuff and then headed here to the library. First thing I did was check my email. The usual stuff... Molly's having a crisis over her Valentine's Day plans with Tim, Lauren wants me to watch "American Idol" with her tonight, and Josh sent me a quick "thinking of you" email. But there was one that caught my eye. It was from Lindsay and the subject line was "my side of the story."

I just sensed that it had to do with Jen's call to Alex. I opened the email and sure enough, I was right. It turns out that the other girl in the Terry and Jennifer triangle is Lindsay! Not good.

So Lindsay says that she has never done anything to lead Terry on. She has no romantic feelings for him - never has, never will. She said that she and Terry naturally bonded at school because they both come from the same town and he's always been there for her (as a friend) when she gets sad about James. But apparently, Terry started to have feelings for her and that's why he broke things off with Jennifer. Then he made a pass at Lindsay which she refused mostly because of her friendship with Jen, but all Jen can focus on is that Lindsay is the reason she and Terry broke up.

I feel really bad for them. It's not Lindsay's fault, but I can understand Jen's hurt feelings. I just hope they can work things out. I even feel bad for Terry.

Oh well, I'm just glad the drama doesn't involve me for once!
