CeCe's POV
"So... that's why Logan ditched you?" I asked nervously.
Ty and I stood there, shocked. Ty was too surprised to speak.
"Yes," Rocky replied, "It wasn't because of a stupid picture."
I laughed awkwardly to lighten the mood. "I bet you feel bad about dumping food on his head now, huh?"
Rocky glared at me.
"Too soon?" I asked.
Ty shook his head. "I would say that the fact that he got a girl pregnant makes me not trust him, but I feel too sorry for him."
"No. You can't feel bad for him," Rocky snapped.
Ty and I looked confused.
Rocky sighed. "I mean, you can't show it. It'll just make him feel worse. All we can do is pretend this whole Alicia thing never happened, and let everything go back to the way it was."
Ty nodded slowly in agreement, and I made an awkward thumbs-up to show Rocky that we would try.
Rocky nodded back and let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, so, I'm gonna go hang out with Logan. You guys just go do whatever you were going to do today."
"Wait, so are you back together?" I asked.
Rocky shrugged and gave me a tired look before picking up her purse and walking out the door.
"Well, let's go," Ty said, and we walked out the door.
Tinka's POV
I looked at my watch. Where were Ty and CeCe? They were supposed to meet Gunther and I at "One-of-a-Kind" twenty minutes ago.
I walked out of the store and looked left, then right. Finally, I spotted them across the mall and waved.
Ty saw me and waved back, running towards me. He pulled me into his arms andI smiled in his embrace.
"Ahem," CeCe said, clearing her throat. She scoffed. "Teenage love is SOOO overrated."
"Hello, Baybee!"
"Gunther!" CeCe yelled, leaping into Gunther's arms.
"Yeah," I said, "You obviously think teenage love is overrated."
"Well, it is," CeCe replied. Gunther looked confused, until CeCe continued, "Unless you're soulmates."
"And we are," Gunther said, hugging CeCe from behind.
I rolled my eyes as we all walked into the store, with Ty holding my hand.
Deuce's POV
I sat in Crusty's, holding Dina's hand. Rocky and Logan sat across from me, staring into each other's eyes as if they had never broken up. Ty was feeding Tinka a bite of her salad, and Gunther was relaxing with his arm around CeCe.
I sighed, and everyone at the table looked at me.
Rocky leaned forward. "What is it, Deuce?"
"Oh, it's nothing," I replied. "It's just that I realized something."
All of my friends motioned for me to go on, and Dina nudged me in the arm, nodding.
"I just realized that everything worked out. And not just for me," I began.
I looked around me as all of my friends smiled. They were all so happy, and as I looked at Dina, I knew that I was, too. So, I continued.
"For all of us."
