"You see what you did?" Charlie yelled at Connie, "You split up the whole team! This was a bad idea Connie!"
"Don't yell at her man!" Portman said, standing up to him, "She's been crazy worried about what was going to happen when everyone found out."
"Yeah, well, maybe you both should have thought about that before," Russ shouted. Suddenly everyone was yelling at each other, stepping up and shoving.
"You guys stop!" Connie said, tears were starting to form in her eyes. "This isn't fair, I just, I can't do this." she shook her head and ran away.
"Nice going guys," Portman said, "Connie!" He shouted after her and chased her.
"What about you Banks?" Goldberg looked at him, "Where are you on this?"
"You guys are being stupid." He said, and started walking away.
"Come on," Charlie laughed meanly, "You know better than to ask the cake eater to choose sides, he never could do it." Adam turned around. "It's true right? I mean, going all the way back to District 5. How are the Hawks doing these days?"
"Watch it Charlie," he said, "I'm serious. Look, what they did sucks ok? But its between them and Guy and Julie. It really doesn't have anything to do with us."
"What's going on here?" Julie walked over and raised her eyebrows. "Why did Connie just run into our room crying?"
"Ask Charlie," Ken said.
"Julie'll be on our side," Russ pulled her over.
"What side?" She looked at him, "Is this about Connie and Portman?" she looked at all of them, they nodded. "Which side are you?"
"The side that doesn't want them to be happy," Fulton glared at Charlie. Julie was taken aback, she didn't ever think that would happen, Fulton taking a side against Charlie, but then again, split between Charlie and Portman, it wasn't too hard to figure out wear he'd choose.
"Where are you going?" Ken called after her.
"To talk to Guy," she shouted.
"Hi," Julie said, stomping into Guy's room. "So, did you tell them to choose sides?
"Hey," he said, looking up. "No, Charlie and Russ just said they would be on my side. And the rest of them, just, I don't know, it's just so weird, I don't know how to react to it,"
"I laughed in their faces," Julie said, he looked at her, she nodded, "They told me and I just started laughing. I don't know why, there's nothing particularly funny about it, but it just came out that way."
"I threw up," Guy said. "So your reaction, actually much better than mine."
"You threw up?" She said, "Really?" She bit her bottom lip.
"You're going to laugh again, aren't you?" He said, his own eyes starting to sparkle.
"No," she stifled a giggle, he burst out laughing, and then she followed, "See, it's like it's the only thing I can do when I think about it."
"It's just so," he sighed, "I mean, he's so,"
"He's a really great guy," Julie said, trying to reassure him, "really great."
"Why'd you guys break up?" Guy asked.
"Because," she shrugged, "I wanted to be in a serious relationship, he didn't. Why did you guys break up?"
"She wanted to," he shrugged, "something about me always looking at her like she's still ten or something. I don't know, it just sort of happened. At least with you guys it was mutual."
"It wasn't mutual," Julie shook her head, "I broke up with him."
"You did?" Guy stopped. "I just thought that, I mean, you two were always just so cool with each other."
"Like I said, he's a really great guy," she smiled, "he knew that if everyone knew I broke up with him, I'd be that bitch who broke up with the bash brother. So the details of our breakup remained sketchy."
"That is great," Guy nodded, "Does Connie know?"
"Connie always knew," Julie smiled, "Fulton too probably. She thinks you wanted to break up too, by the way. She's dead convinced that you guys just split mutually."
"Oh," He stopped and thought for a minute, "So you think that they're just what?" Guy said, "Fooling around or whatever?"
"I don't know what they're doing," she said, "that was a year ago; I don't exactly know what he wants anymore."
"How did he react when you told him about Banks?" Guy asked, he was now remembering that Portman had been in his situation.
"He didn't throw up," she laughed, "as far as I know. But I also didn't hide it from him for however long they've been doing this."
"Why aren't you mad?" He said, "I mean, you of all people,"
"I'm a little more mad then I'm letting on," she shook her head, "I mean the truth is, my best friend has been hooking up with my ex boyfriend for god only knows how long, and they've been keeping it a secret from me, and from all of our friends, and it was a shitty thing to do. I'm pissed, but, I care about them, I want them to be happy. And if they knew how upset I was, they wouldn't be."
"You're such a better person than I am," he said, "I feel like I'd rather she be miserable, because I am."
"Well, she's miserable now," Julie said, "Charlie made her cry."
