"So."
"Soooo."
"Stop staying so!"
"Well," I stressed, glaring at Mia playfully, who in return flicked me off. I rolled my eyes, spinning myself in the computer chair beside her black and red bed.
"We have school tomorrow."
Mia rolled her eyes, flicking Bridget on the forehead, "State the obvious much, idiot?"
Bridget grinned, shrugging shamelessly, "Just sayin'."
"Right."
I looked between the two, sighing, my shoulders sagging. "I hate my life," I moaned, frowning, bright blue eyes entering my thoughts.
Mia cocked an eyebrow, "Emo princess," she said, her lips lifting a bit. I banged my head onto a desk inwardly, she was teasing me. Bitch.
"Oh, well, y'know, I'm kind of a home-wrecker now. Seeing as I made out with a guy who has a girlfriend and I'm probably going to be in some deep shit tomorrow."
Mia and I both stared at Bridget with out mouths wide open, who shrugged.
"You didn't know? I'm starting up my own business! It's going to be call, "Bridget Barnes Spread 'Em Open! 4AM to 10PM! Better hurry and place your order now! Refunds are not available!"

Normal POV
"Well, my brothers," Pogue grinned, flopping in between Caleb and Tyler with a bag of chips in his hand, munching on them soundly. "Here we are." he laughed loudly when Reid threw the remote at him from his sprawled out place on the other couch.
Tyler gave him a disinterest look, Reid looked very interested in what was under his fingernails, and Caleb?
"ImadeoutwithBridget."
"Huh?"
"Whut?"
"You made out with Bridget?!" Pogue, the only one of the brothers who seemed to understand, exclaimed with wide eyes.
"…Yes?" Caleb said weakly, shrugging, where did THAT come from?! He hasn't sounded like that since the seventh grade where his voice cracked with every other word. "It was an accident…?"
Reid snorted from the couch, "Yeah right, golden ass!" Honestly, though, he wasn't making a big deal out of it. Even he knew things weren't exactly working out between Sarah and Caleb. Plus, that Bridget…well, she was hot. So he was with whatever his brother decided.
Tyler pursed his lips, "Y'know, Caleb, that's bad…what about Sarah, man? You just cheated on your girlfriend."
Reid rolled his eyes with slight affection, trust Tyler to state the obvious at all times.
"I know," Caleb said quietly, not meeting his brother's eyes. "I know, okay? But she's so different, y'know? She's not like Sarah at all. And she makes me…happy. I don't have anything to worry about when I'm with her. And…I was going to break up with Sarah?"
Reid snorted, Tyler raised an eyebrow, and Pogue laughed slightly, patting Caleb on the shoulder.
"Naw, man, I think you just have a thing for blondes."

"We're back."
"We are."
I sighed, breathing in the soft smell of rose petals from our dorm room. God, who would have thought I missed this place?
"We have class in an hour."
"Thanks, really, Mia. You just ruined my happy minute."
"You mean happy hour?"
"No, happy minute."
She gave me an odd look over her shoulder, sighing, rolling her eyes before straightening out her required uniform.
I smooth down my blazer, tying up my converse as I did so, my palms suddenly sweaty.
"OhgodMiaIdon'tthinkIcandothis."
She slapped me upside the head.
"Isabella, my dear, forget Tyler, okay? Forget him. There are plenty other guys out there. And y'know? His girlfriend? Yeah. She's ugly."
I gave her a thankful grin, knowing in the back of my mind his girlfriend was not ugly and that there was no other guy that could possibly compare to Tyler.
But I'll believe Mia for this moment.
Because she's my best friend and you always got to believe your best friends because if not than who are you going to believe? And best friends know everything so I'm going to smile and hug her and than she's going to fake-frown and softly push me off of her and than we're going to head off and find Bridget who's going to greet us with a bright smile and some weird saying, but that's okay because we're best friends. And best friends are just like that and they make everything sad better.
So, for this moment, I'm going to be okay.

"Wow, uh, shit."
I glanced towards my left, Bridget, who seemed to be picking at her breakfast right now, blushed.
My gazed went up.
There they were - all four of them. Like gods, really.
I force my gaze down, my stomach churned. I don't think I can do this, I thought, wiping my palms on my skirt. God, can't he just go away?
"Baby!"
The loud voice belonging to Reid Garwin broke my out of my gaze, and I looked to my left to see him practically tackling Mia in her seat.
"I've missed you so!" he laughed, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, she glared at him.
She didn't shove it off, I noticed, shaking my head inwardly; watching from the corner of my eye I saw Pogue and Caleb take a seat on the other side and Tyler sit right beside me.
"Hey," he smiled, flicking his bangs out of his eyes. I tried not to drool, no really, how could one person be so, so, so…gorgeous?
"Erm, uhm, hehehe, whut?" I could have laugh. Seriously? Bridget spluttering? That was a first…oh shit. Wait.
I looked between her and Caleb. Bridget looked lost, looking down at her lap with a hint of red on her cheeks and Caleb seemed to avoiding her eyes at any cost.
"I'm going to go…uh…get that thing! For over that place thingy! So yeah, to the thingy!" and with that Bridget hurriedly jumped up, her blond curls bouncing all the while as she quickly ran out of the cafeteria, Caleb looked a bit flushed…
This was funny. Yet, sad at the same time. Because Caleb did cheat on Sarah and Bridget went right along with it. I felt bad for Sarah, I did, she was such a good girl.
And at the moment I wanted to lean into Tyler, whispered into his ear, laughing, as I pointed out the obvious couple, but I couldn't. I didn't.
He had a girlfriend.
And that changed everything.
"Hey, hey, Bella," I blinked, swallowing, as I looked up to Reid waving his hand in front of my face and I felt everyone eyes on me.
"You okay, kid? You look like you're about to cry."
I sucked in a breath before standing up and storming out of there.
Thanks, Tyler, really, thanks for making me fall in love with you.

Normal POV
"Awkwaaaaard."
"Did they really just leave me here with idiots?"
"Indeed they did, Mia dear."
"Reid, I'll fucking kill you."
"And I don't doubt it."
"Charming, you are."
"I bet."
"Y'know I can choke you without much effort, right?"
"I know."
"God, go jump off a cliff."
"God, I love you."
"…Shut the fuck up."
"Only for you."
Pogue, in the midst of their argument, glanced over towards the lunch line, nudging Caleb, forcing him to look who was coming over to their table.
"Sarah, man," he whispered with a frown, "What are you going to do?"
Caleb, for once, actually looked a bit panicked. "Uh…"
"Hey boys!" a familiar voice enter and the two sons looked up to find Kate and Sarah taking their respected seats across from the two.
"Kate," Pogue says with a wide grin, leaning over to kiss her softly, and Sarah smiled - she looked sad, he noticed - while Caleb inwardly was trying to kill himself.
"Hey," Kate smiled, looking in between the two curiously. Okay, she's know all of the sons since her freshman year and she liked to think she was their best female friend outside of each other and so therefore she knew everything that basically went on between them.
"Are you two okay?" she lifted a perfect eyebrow, her lips turned into a frown, "Do you guys know what was with Bridget this morning? We ran into her as she was running out of the caf. We said 'hey' and she just kind of mumbled all over the place and left."
Caleb put on his best poker face, shrugging, he picked at his food, "No idea. That girl has always been weird, y'know." Secretly though, he wished he could chased after her.
"So, how are you?"
Oh yeah. He had a girlfriend.
"Fine," he put on a sweet smile, "Great. You?"
He hated their conversations. It just wasn't the same anymore and really, he hasn't felt a connection with Sarah in a long while.
"Same old, same old," she smiled that sweet Sarah smile, shrugging casually, "You think after classes we can talk to each other? Privately?"
Beside her, Kate shot her a look.
Caleb fork shook a bit; "Sure," he gave a stiff smile, "Sure. Uh, my house?"
"Yeah."

Bridget didn't like to spy, not really.
…Okay. Maybe that was a lie.
But as she sat under the big oak tree during lunch - because she was kind of a coward no matter how many people thought she was this really out there, crazy person (which she was, just not with things like this) and she really didn't want to face Caleb right now.
But yes.
So, when she saw Reid Garwin and Tyler Simms walking up the stairs of the school her eyes perked up. Not only because they were her friends, but y'know, they were kind of sort of maybe totally hot, too.
But when she saw Tyler pushed Reid playfully down the steps and his arm turn this nasty black-purple color with blood slowly cascading down his arm and than his eyes turn pure fucking black and his arm looked like it was completely new she didn't know what to do.
So she screamed.
