"It's okay, Deuce." Cece tried comforting him as her and Rocky sat across from him at his uncle's pizza place.

"It's not okay." He sighed. "I love Dina, I don't know why she would think we were together."

"Beats me." Cece shrugged and took a drink of her soda.

Rocky's eyes widened as if to say "You really don't know?"; She's noticed for awhile that Deuce and Cece have been getting closer and closer ever since they were kids. Cece's even confided in her that she used to have a little crush on Deuce.

"This isn't fair." Deuce whined. "She didn't even let me fully explain. Now, I don't know how to get her back."

"Don't." Rocky said. "There's no sense in it if she jumps to conclusions like that."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Deuce put his hands up. "Whoa. I thought you liked Dina. Why are you bagging on her?"

"I'm just saying." Rocky tried to calm him down. "You and Dina are perfect for each other, BUT relationships are based on trust, and if she can't trust you, then don't try and get her back."

"But, this whole thing was a misunderstanding." Cece butt in.

"Exactly!" Rocky said. "Deuce, you said it yourself, she didn't let you fully explain the situation, so she doesn't trust that you wouldn't cheat on her."

"But he wouldn't."

"Thank you, Cece!" Deuce jumped up and gave her a hug. "SOMEONE understands." He glared at Rocky.

She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Whatever. I'm getting more soda." She got out of her seat and walked away.

Deuce rested his head on Cece's and looked down at her phone to see her texting. "Still into that one guy? What's his name? Derek?"

"Not really." Cece admitted. "We're just good friends."

"Hm." Deuce couldn't figure out why it made him feel better to know that Cece didn't like that guy anymore.

Dina had walked into Deuce's uncle's pizza place with the intention of apologizing and asking for him back, but when she saw him and Cece looking like a couple, she blew up.

"So, you're NOT a couple?!" She yelled at him.

"Dina?!" He was surprised.

"You said you weren't a couple, but you're together like…this!" she gestured to their position.

"Dina, we can explain." Cece tried. "We're not-."

"Save it!" She held a hand up. "I can't believe this, Deuce! I was coming to apologize and see if we could get back together, but not now!"

"What?! I was just…I was…what?!" Deuce shot up from his position with Cece, who, surprisingly enough, he hadn't let go of, despite Dina walking in and making a scene.

"You heard me! There is NO WAY that's going to happen now!" Dina stomped out of the pizza place and Deuce plopped himself into his seat again.

"See?" Rocky said, coming back from the soda machine and sitting in her seat, making Deuce glare at her.

"What do I do?" Deuce whined to Ty as they sat on the steps of the apartment complex.

"I don't know, man." Ty sighed. "You could always get yourself another girlfriend."

"I don't want another girlfriend, I want Dina."

"How am I supposed to help you if you keep shootin' down every suggestion I make?"

"I shoot down stupid suggestions."

"What do you want me to suggest? Make her jealous?" Ty laughed, thinking it was a ridiculous idea, until Deuce snapped his fingers and smiled.

"That's it!" Deuce said. "I'll make her jealous!"

"I was joking." Ty pointed out.

"I'm not." Deuce jumped up and ran down the steps, bumping into Rocky and Cece.

"Hey, Deuce!" Cece greeted with a smile.

"Can't talk now, gotta figure out who can help me." He walked past them.

She grabbed his arm gently. "Help with what?"

"I want to make Dina jealous."

"Whoa, Deuce, isn't that a little too far?" Rocky asked, unsure of how all of it would pan out.

"Of course not." Deuce laughed. "It's perfectly reasonable."

"No, it's not." Rocky argued.

"I'll help." Cece agreed. "I mean, if you're gonna fake date someone, why not fake date me? She already thinks we are."

"Yeah, you're right, Cece." Deuce smiled and gave her a high-five.

Deuce what are you thinking?!

:P
