Prologue

"Stop staring at them you're making yourself look ridiculous." Marshall whispered to his best friend, leaning on the table.

Lucas quickly got out of his thoughts and frowned to him.

"Mind your own business."

The words had came out of his throat despite himself, and he immediatly regretted them. If only the girl he liked wouldn't have chosen one of his friends, instead of him, maybe he wouldn't have to be so rude with everyone. He didn't want to put on Josie's shoulders his weakness, so he quickly thought about Vaughn, and decided he was the one responsible for his misfortune.

"Fine man, I just wanted to help." Marshall sighed, laying his back on his chair.

"I'm sorry." Lucas sighed. " I've just been in a really bad mood lately."

"And I understand that. But it's time you get your butt off that sad situation and start over. There are plenty of fishes in the sea." Marshall said, shaking his head.

"Thank you for the advice, Marshall, and especially for your third grader quotation." Lucas said sarcastically.

"No problem." he decided to only answer, even if Lucas' bad mood reflected on their friendship.

Lucas' eyes left briefly the girl of his dreams and he decided to get out of the room so he wouldn't have to see her and Vaughn getting at it again.

"They make me sick." he allowed himself to think.

Marshall ran after him and stopped at his level. It was getting harder and harder to stay friends with Lucas, because of his mean behavior, and even though he wanted their friendship to last, it seemes like it was not reciprocal.

Ever since Josie and Vaughn had let everyone know they were in love, Lucas had lost it, and after being really rude to the two lovers, they had decided to ignore him and anyone that was around him. Marshall had stayed by his best friend's side, but Corinne, on the other hand, had had a ahrd time to chose, so she kept switching from a gang to an other.

Not only was Marshall seeing the girl he loved in secret less and less because of Lucas, but he was also really tired of being treated like crap, and hearing how Josie was fantastic, and how Vaughn was such a "stupid git".

He had thought over an over again about how he could tell his roomate that he would end up friendless if he kept acting this way, but he couldn't resigne himself to being such a bad friend.

"You don't have to follow me. I know you don't want to hang out with me anymore." Luvas said, not sending a glance to Marshall.

"You're wrong. I just want to help."

To a certain degree, it was true, but Marshall missed the days where all of them were friends, and had fun all together. he competition between Lucas and Vaughn could somehow be exhausting, but at least it was less painful for everyone's friendship.

"No one can help me." Lucas said, letting himself fall on the nearest bench.

Marshall sat next to him, looking at the trees surrounding them. They had waled outside the school where everyone normally was. But most importantly, where Josie and Vaughn were not.

"I'll find a way. I promise I will."

Little did he know that he would find a way to bring Lucas' smile, without even knowing it.
