Dared goes to Shailene's house and she's outside already. She's sitting on the porch.
"Today was rough." Daren said sitting next to Shailene.
"What were you doing that you could come pick me up?" Shailene asked ignoring his comment.
"I was with my friend, Chris."
"Girl or boy?" Shailene asked looking at him.
"Don't do that. It was our friend Chris. I've slept with other girls, you know I have." Daren mentioned getting to the point.
"I didn't know siblings were going to tell me stories of how my boyfriend and their sister got caught doing whatever."
"I'm sorry. They should have a tad bit more respect for you."
"They don't. I asked you one question and you couldn't tell me the truth."
"I didn't know any girl Bakers except for Emily. I know she's got some step sibling because of her step brother Kyle."
"It don't matter anymore." Shailene said rubbing her face.
"I'm sorry. My past is hurting you and I don't want it too."
"I'll be okay."
"You shouldn't be okay with it."
"I am. You're day was rough?" Shailene asked changing the subject.
"Yeah, sorta." Daren nodded.
"Let's go watch a movie. I'm tired so I might fall asleep."
"I'll be right along with you." Daren said standing and helping her up without giving her a kiss.
"I love you." Shailene smiled.
"I love you, too." Daren said taking her hand as they walked into Shailene's house.
With Jordan and Vanessa on the phone.
"You like sports?" Jordan asked surprised.
"Of course. I like volleyball, basketball, softball." Vanessa said excited.
"Those are girl sports. I'm talking about real sports. Like football."
"You don't even like football." Vanessa laughs along with Jordan.
"Yeah, but I watch it sometimes with my dad."
"Oh, you do?"
"Not really," Jordan laughs. "I don't like sports."
"You don't? Or do you not like the jocks?"
"I don't like jocks."
"I'm a cheerleader." Vanessa confessed."
"You haven't cheered in how long?" Jordan corrected.
"Once a cheerleader, always a cheerleader."
Jordan laughs, "Well, I don't talk to cheerleaders."
"Because they don't talk to you." Vanessa joked.
"True."
"Why are you classified as a 'nerd'?"
"I don't know. It's because I don't go to all the parties and have sex with everyone."
"That's who I'm classified as." Vanessa joked again.
"Sorry." Jordan apologized.
"Don't. It's fine."
"Did you actually enjoy just having sex with Chris?"
"Not really. I liked the relationship better."
"I don't see how."
"Why don't you like him, well, besides all the stuff with him and Monica?"
"He beat me up our sophomore year."
"Really?" Vanessa said shocked.
"Yeah, him and Daren. He probably don't even remember me."
"I don't know. He doesn't exactly beat up a lot of people."
"He did, then."
"He was an asshole."
"Compared to now?" Jordan laughed.
Jared, Chace, and Beth walking down the street after they got a coffee.
"So, you're still with that chick?" Beth asked wrapping her arm around Jared's neck.
"Ashley, but yes. We weren't together for a while then we got back together." Jared told her.
"Good. I kind of did like her." Beth said jokingly.
"I did, too." Jared sarcastically pointed out.
"When do I get to meet her, again?"
"Uh, I don't know."
"How about now?"
"I don't know what she's doing tonight."
"Last I heard she was with Hayden for the night." Chace mentioned for the first time.
"Oh, see. Our girlfriends are with each other." Jared smiled.
With Chris.
"Sorry, I'm late boys," Monica called out as she came in, "What are you doing?" she said walking into the living room and Chris and Anthony was standing there. Anthony was holding presents.
"Happy Birthday, mom." Anthony smiled.
"Thank you." Monica said hugging him.
"We got your presents. Me and dad made you cupcakes."
"Thank you." Monica gave Anthony a hug and kiss.
"Dad did somethings too," Chris joked as Monica hugged him. "Happy Birthday, baby."
"Thanks. Now, let's open these presents." Monica smiled. Monica got a picture of her, Chris and Anthony from Anthony. Chris got her a bracelet. Anthony is in bed and Chris and Monica are eating cupcakes.
"Did you like what you got?" Chris asked watching her eat.
"I did. Thank you." Monica said kissing him.
"Anything for you." Chris smiled.
"Want a bite?" Monica suggested.
"Sure." Chris said leaning over for a bite and Monica smashed it in his face. Monica starts laughing.
"Did I miss your mouth?" Monica giggled innocently.
"Yeah, just a little." Chris smiled standing.
"Oh, no." Monica mumbled standing up as well.
"Yeah, oh no is right." Chris said chasing her.
Chace is alone with Beth while Jared went to get pizza.
"You know, you're girlfriend isn't all that good looking." Beth blurted looking at pictures around the apartment.
"I think she's beautiful." Chace shot back.
Beth smiled at him, "You love her?"
"Of course." Chace shrugged.
"She's the cheerleader type? So that means you were the jock. What, you were the perfect cliché?" Beth giggled.
"We are not." Chace told her.
"Yeah, you are. Every love story ends that way."
"What about you? Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Beth smiled at him.
"I would. You make fun of my girlfriend but yet you can't tell me if you have one or not."
"I have tons of sex buddies. Maybe I can make one mine." Beth said moving toward Chace.
Chace steps back when she traps him against the wall, "Jared can come in and this isn't exactly the perfect moment."
"Jared will get over it." Beth smiled.
"I love Hayden." Chace said.
"And?"
"I'd like it if you.." Chace started before she kisses him.
