"Why are you staring at her like that?" Bianca noticed.

"I'm not -"

"Yes, you are. Make up your damn mind."

"I know exactly what I want."

"Alice, Blake and now Sharon. Doesn't seem to me like you know what you want. Just choose one of them and stop hurting the other two."

"I have chosen one of them, you just don't get it! I mean, I know what it looks like, so I don't really blame you," I sighed. "You are more annoyed than you usually are. What have I done this time, Bianca?"

"You're an ass, that's what you have done. We'll talk later. Now let's go inside. And we're both leaving when I say so."

"There's no point in trying to argue with him, seriously. But I swear I'll try to get him drunk or something, just so that he has to stop and someone else has to take his place."

"Jacob, you're a gift to the world. Thanks dude."

"No problem."

~Caleb's POV~

Usually, when my brother was out there somewhere having fun, I would be working on his homework. Not this time though, I had enough of my own papers and essays. It might have been 10 pm, and it might have been Friday night, but I couldn't care less about that. I had stuff due Monday.

"Last page done," I told myself. "You deserve a break, then onto the next thing."

That's when I logged into Facebook - and when I noticed Angel was online. Should I talk to her? I mean, I want to know if she's alright after today...and surely it doesn't hurt to send a little "hey, are you okay?" message. Except it does. I was getting sick of the mere thought of typing it down.

"Come on, you're ridiculous," I hissed at myself. "What are you so afraid of? Just one word. It won't hurt."

One word, and then maybe she'll answer...right. It's worth a try.

Hey :))

Chapter 2: We Meet Again

"Are you okay?"

Angel looked up. "What are you doing here?"

I told her the truth. Part of it at least. I'm the worst liar under the sun, there's no point in trying. "I saw that guy break up with you. You seemed...you seemed pretty upset. I was just wondering if-"

"Of course I'm upset!" she blurted. Right. Stupid question. "Things were slowly getting worse and I didn't want to see it. It only hit me harder."

"Are you alright?"

I rolled my eyes. "We were just pouring our hearts out and you came in the best moment, Bianca, but yes, everything is perfectly fine. What do you want?" I grumbled.

"I came here with Sharon. I was concerned about how she feels after you dragged her there. Grow up."

"Makes a lot of sense coming from you."

"I'm fine, Bianca," Sharon reassured her. "I'm a little overwhelmed, that's it. I need to go home. Sorry I'm not the best person to hang out with."

"Are you kidding? This was fun while it lasted. And I get it," she said, her stare piercing me slowly and painfully. Not like I wasn't used to it.

"Okay," Sharon nodded. "Thank you for everything."

"See you tomorrow."

"See ya."

[nikatyler]

"Alice? Are you alright?"

"Do I look alright, Bianca?" Out of all people, his sister just walked in with that new girl I'd noticed earlier in Maths. Great.

"Not at all. You look super mad," she said. "What has Tyler done this time?"

She knew it. She could easily realize what's going on. I looked at both girls. The new one nodded, encouraging me to start talking. "You guys...I'm so stupid."

~Alice's POV~

I hate him. I hate him so much. And I hate myself for being so stupid to fall for his jokes or whatever it was supposed to be.

"He's not even good looking," I told my reflection. "He's dumb and he looks dumb and he's an asshole and I hope he pees himself in his sleep. Fuck it!"

"Ugh, is that Look What You Made Me Do playing?"

"What were you expecting? Our local Taylor Swift stan is in charge tonight," Thomas pointed out.

"The LMAO guy? Who let him?" I gasped.

"Did you mean the LOL guy?" Blake corrected me. "That's how everyone calls him."

"Fuck you...I mean, I would."

Pat rolled her eyes. "Keep that for when we're not around, would you?"

"That would be appreciated," Blake mumbled.

I lifted my arms in a giving up gesture. "Alright, I get it. It slipped. Sorry. You know what else would be appreciated? Some good tunes."
