Nikki woke up, streched and looked at her phone. It was only 6:15, so she could go back to sleep for a little bit, but she decided to get up and take a shower. She scrolled through her contact lists and found the name "bad boy." She clicked on his name, and sent a text.

"Good morning cutie pie." The text read, and she hopped into the shower. When she got out there was no reply. "He's probably just taking a shower, I shouldn't worry too much." She thought to herself and went to grab some breakfast. Her phone beeped as she was walking down the stairs. Nikki got excited and fumbled to open the phone up.

"We have a code-BAD!" From an anonymous number. Nikki quickly texted back asking them who they were. "It's Madison! Hurry up and get to school NOW!" The text was urgent. So, Nikki did just that. She looked out the window, both of her parents cars were in the driveway.

"There is no time to wait for the bus." She thought, and grabbed the keys to her dad's SUV. She got in the car and sped off to school.

"Uh where are you?" She texted Madison back as she arrived at school, a little earlier than she had wanted to be there. Just as she hit send two girls popped up and ambushed her.

"Ohmigosh Nikki!" Madison yelled, her red hair bouncing from side to side. "Ohmigosh Ohmisgosh!"

"What happened?" Nikki whipped around, wondering what was going on. Lauren creeped up on the otherside.

"Adrian and Ben slept together." Lauren blurted out.

"Uh who? Do you guys keep forgetting that I'm new here?"

"No no! Ok, quick run down." Madison began telling a story in her frantic state. "Ricky and Amy had a baby, right? Anyways, Amy met Ben while she was pregnant, and the started dating. Ben is the son of the sausage king, so he's like the sausage prince or something. Anyways, that's not the point. After that, Adrian got with Ricky, and she was like in love with him, you know? And then Amy and Ben broke up, and stuff."

"Ok?" Nikki was confused. "So if they're broken up, and Adrian isn't with Ricky, then what is the problem?"

Lauren and Madison both looked confused. "Everyone knows that Ricky and Adrian are together, and that Ben is still in love with Amy, duh." Madison blurted out.

"He told me that Adrian is obsessed with him and that they aren't together." Nikki crossed her arms.

"Oh no, they're together almost everynight. They might not be dating, but they're, doing other things." Lauren looked embarrassed and locked eyes with the cement. Nikki's face got red with embarrassment. How could Ricky have not told her this? He kissed her, and led her on, what was he going to do next? Try to get her to sleep with him? Men really are disgusting.

"So, what does this have to do with me?" Nikki was starting to get mad.

"Well, first, we have to make sure that Amy doesn't find out. That would be really bad, so if you hear people talking about it, tell them it's not true. Got it?" Madison stuck her pinky out for Nikki to shake on.

"Got it." Nikki locked pinkies with Madison.

"And now we have to somehow get a hold of Ricky."

"What do you mean?" Nikki looked immediately confused. "Where is Ricky?"

"Nobody knows." Lauren chimed in. "After he found out about last night, he just took off. He won't answer his cellphone, he's not at his apartment."

"This is all too much for me to handle right now." Nikki stuck her hand up and stormed off. She was walking fastly into the school when Grace popped up stopping her in her tracks. "Excuse me, but you are kind of in my way." She motioned for Grace to move aside.

"No I want to talk to you." Grace stuck out her hand. "Come on lets get out of the doorway so people can walk past." Grace carefully moved her to the side. "Did you hear?"

"That Ben and Adrian had sex? Yeah, and I'm already annoyed by it." Nikki rolled her eyes and tried to push past Grace, but Grace stopped her.

"Whoa, What! I was going to ask you if you heard that people were calling you a slut. I didn't hear about that. Is it true?" Grace's mouth turned as wide as a manhole.

"Look, I don't even know who Ben is, so don't say you heard anything from me. THe plan though is to keep the information away from Amy. She's not supposed to find out. But seriously who said I was a slut?"

"Doesn't matter right now. I'm the one who should be upset. Me and Ben just started hanging out. Are you sure anybody didn't try to keep it from me?" Grace started panicking. "I wanted to go out with him!"

"Look, I didn't know. I don't even know who this guy is. I'm so sorry about all of this. I really am. But I have to go, I need to get something to eat for breakfast. Just don't say I said anything, ok? I don't need any trouble." Nikki patted Grace on the shoulder and was once again on her way into the cafeteria, when suddenly she realized she forgot where it was. She was looking around for signs, but there was nothing, until she saw Amy huddled at her locker. "Amy!" She called out, and Amy turned in her direction. "What's up?" Nikki walked towards her.

"Oh nothing, I'm just super tired. Ben came over last night, and John didn't want to go to bed. I didn't even get time for breakfast this morning because of him. So I'm starving."

"Do you want to head up to the cafeteria?" Nikki suggested. "I was rushed out of my house this morning so I didn't get a chance either."

"I'd like that." Amy smiled, and the two girls headed to the cafeteria. When they were heading upstairs, a weasley looking boy was watching them. Like hardcore staring at them. Nikki was just about to ask who he was and why he was staring at them, when Amy said "Hey Ben." With a shy smile. Ben immediately looked away and began walking towards the bathroom door.

"Well that was just weird." Nikki shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah I know. I mean I don't want to go back out with him, but I would like him as a friend."

"I don't think that's the best idea, Amy."
