Here's chapter 10! The drama's not over yet!

Xoxo,
Charlotte

Ps- Sorry it took me so long to update! I wrote & rewrote this chapter like three times cause I got stuck. If you have any suggestions for what should happen next, feel free to review!

*Evan's POV*

Everything seemed perfect. I got my Patrice back, and there was nothing left to worry about. But of course, not everything is what it seems. Patrice quickly pulled away from me.

"Oh my god, I-!" She yelled.

I put my hand over her mouth. "Did you forget that we're sort of ditching class here?"

"Oh, right, sorry," she said. "But what about Brianna and Archie?"

"What about them?"

"Well," she paused. "Evan, while we were broken up, Archie told me that Brianna hates me and that if he wants to date her, then he can't talk to me anymore." She looked down. "And guess who he chose." Her eyes started watering and she tried to hide it by smiling slightly.

"Patrice," I took her hands in mine. "I'm gonna kill them."

"Evan," she said.

"I'm kidding. But it's really not okay. If someone hurts you, I hurt them."

"Well thanks," she smiled for real this time. "But that's not what I'm worried about right now. I'm worried about Archie. We can't let him suffer because of Brianna's crazy ways. If we don't do something, he's going to get hurt."

I groaned because I knew she was right. The drama never ended! Maybe I really could write a book about my life...

"Well?" She asked impatiently.

"...What?"

"My gosh, you need to keep up with my thoughts!" She grabbed my hand and lead me outside.

"Okay, do what class do you have next period?"

"Spanish," I said.

"Alright, I have Health with Brianna, and you have Spanish with Archie."

"So, what should I do?"

"Talk some sense into the kid!"

"Trice, he's whipped! What am I supposed to say? 'Hey, Archie. So basically, your girlfriend is an egotistic maniac who's out to get my girlfriend, plus she's using you. You should dump her'?"

"No, of course not, he would never believe you. Right now, all we need is information. Then, we attack." Patrice squinted her eyes and grinned, thinking about revenge. It was really cute. I smirked and kissed her cheek.

"I still don't understand what you want me to do," I said.

"Ask him as many questions as you can, and I'll do the same with Brianna."

"Are you sure that's-"

"Trust me on this," she said. "I have a plan."

A few minutes later, the bell rang and Patrice and I went our separate ways. When I walked into the Spanish room, Archie was already sitting there, playing some game on his calculator.

"Hey, Archie," I said, dropping my backpack next to the desk across from him.

"Evan," he replied flatly.

"So, uhh, how are things going with Brianna?"

"I dunno, good, I guess," he said, not taking his eyes off the calculator. "Why?"

"No reason, no reason..."

"Oh, really? Cause last I heard, you were making out with my girlfriend at your house."

"WHA-?"

"Okay, everyone, take a seat!" The teacher barked, then started rambling on about something or other.

I leaned to my right. "Archie!" I whispered.

"Oh, sorry, does the player boy have something to say?"

Did Archie just call me a player?

"Yes! Archie, I didn't-"

"I'm sorry, am I interrupting something, boys?" Mrs. Shock was staring straight at us with her arms crossed.

"Umm, no, carry on," Archie said. I made sure Mrs. Shock was facing the board before I turned to Archie again.

"Archie, I didn't kiss your girlfriend, she-" I stopped myself, remembering what Patrice said about strictly getting information. Mrs. Shock gave me a 'second warning' face. "Look, we'll talk later, okay?"

"Whatever hovers your spaceship."

Man, this kid was weird.

*Patrice's POV*

I walked into Health class, and Brianna was already sitting there, surrounded by cheerleaders... Good job, Brianna, every guy's dream. Hahaha, good one, Patrice! Anyway, right when I walked in, everyone went silent and all heads turned towards me.

"Well, well, well, look what the bitch dragged in," Brianna sneered, and almost everyone laughed. Charlotte gave me a sympathetic look.

"Umm, I don't understand," I said, clutching my books tighter.

Brianna stood up and started slowly walking towards me. "Remember that fun little conversation we had in Archie's basement?"

I was silent.

"Yes or no?"

"Yeah, I guess," I replied.

"So you remember what I told you, yeah?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, it seems you didn't stay away from Archie, so I did exactly what I said I'd do. I don't break a promise."

I just stood there, staring at her.

"Leave her alone!" Charlotte stepped forward, then immediately regretted it.

"Umm, Char," Lucy stood up. "You're not actually defending her, are you?"

"Oh, uhh, no," she gave me a look that said 'I'm sorry' then sat back down.

"That's what I thought," Lucy gave me her signature eyebrow raise. "So I guess your shot at fitting in ended up backfiring, huh?"

"I have no idea what any of you are talking about. I haven't talked to Archie for weeks!"

"Likely story!" Brianna stepped even closer to me. "If you even think about saying another word to him, I'll-"

"Alright, class, settle down!"

Thank God for teachers. Even though class had begun and no one was allowed to talk, I couldn't avoid all the death glares I was getting. Was Brianna off her nut? As much as I hated it, I had stayed clear of Archie for the past 2 weeks, except for the time at the park. I did nothing wrong and she still wanted to kill me. I couldn't wait for the bell to ring so I could talk to Evan. As soon as it did, I practically ran out of the classroom and bumped straight into Evan in the hallway.

"That went well!" We both said at the same time. I swear, we have some type of brain connection. We better not be related...

"Wait, what happened with Archie?" I asked him as we walked to lunch. He told me about how Archie was convinced that he had 'made out' Brianna.

"So, how'd it go with Brianna?"

I explained her little outburst before class.

"So I guess everyone hates you more than they already did," Evan said.

"Oh, wow, I'm so glad I have such a supportive boyfriend," I said, dripping with sarcasm.

"Sorry, sorry," he said. "So what do we do now?"

"I honestly have no idea. I hate to say it, but if Archie won't listen to us, then maybe he deserves what's coming at him."

Just then, Archie sat down at our table.

"Hey, guys," he said.

Evan gave him a look and I rolled my eyes.

"What's your problem?" He asked.

"Are you seriously asking that?" Evan said. "Archie, ten minutes ago, you were accusing me of making out with your girlfriend, why are you talking to us all of a sudden?"

"I'm still accusing you of making out with my girlfriend, but you said you wanted to talk, so here I am," Archie replied.

I shook my head and got up from the table. Evan grabbed my wrist.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"Anywhere but here! I'm not allowed to associate with Archie, remember?" I pulled away from him and left the cafeteria. I felt like screaming. My life seemed to be made up of nothing but drama, caused mostly by other people (cough, cough, Brianna). This time, I had had enough. And it wasn't like me, but this girl had to be taken care of. Maybe, the hard way.

Alright, that's chapter 10! Sorry it was so dull, it's kind of a filler chapter. Like I said, if you have and suggestions for what should happen next, just leave a review! Thanks for reading, and I PROMISE this story will get better :]
