Lizzie's POV

It was a normal morning in the Mcdonald-Venturi household, normal except Edwin acting mopey.

Lizzie had listened in on the phone conversation last night; she wasn't trying to be nosy, she just wanted to make sure everything was gonna be okay. Okay fine, maybe she was being nosy but she was just curious.

The whole bus ride to school, Edwin didn't say a thing he looked far off and in thought. Lizzie was sitting next him but said nothing.

As she was getting off the bus, she saw Edwin rush towards homeroom obviously to talk to Nicole.

Nicole's POV

Nicole was sitting in her car that was currently parked in front of school. Her mom dropped her off everyday as soon as school opened so she could go to work because they didn't live on or near a bus route.

It had never bothered her before but now she knew Edwin was gonna come and find her regardless… So there was no use in hiding…

She had spent most of the previous night crying. In all honesty, she was falling for Edwin hard. It broke her heart when Edwin said that they were breaking up. She threw the phone at the floor breaking it, not believing what her ears were telling her. She lied about the reason for throwing it down stating it simply was not working right and it was pissing her off. She got lectured about keeping her anger under control but not punished

She had no idea what she was going to say to him, but she was still kind of mad nonetheless.

The bell rang alerting them that school was open.

"Bye sweetie. Have a nice day." Her mom said as she exited the car.

She put on a fake smile and said "I will you do too mom."

She left the car and went straight to homeroom sitting in the back not bothering to delay the inevitable.

Edwin's POV

He hauled ass to homeroom knowing that Nicole was almost always there way before 1st period started.

He stopped a few feet away from the door of his homeroom classroom to catch his breath.

I just will have to explain it to her… Its not that I don't care about her it just that I love Lizzie…

Edwin entered the classroom slowly instantly noticing Nicole sitting in the back.

He approached the desk and sat next to her.

"Ummmmm hi… Nicole." He asked hesitantly.

"What do you want?" Nicole snipped.

Edwin was a bit taken back by Nicole's reaction he didn't expect them to be all hunky-dory but Nicole was being a straight up bitch.

"Nicole…" Edwin said softly "Look I'm sorry for calling you last night like that I wasn't thinking…"

"That's great to know. Now are you gonna stop wasting my time?" Nicole replied bitterly

That hurt it felt like Edwin had just got slapped in the face.

"Nicole…"

"I mean I fall in love with you and now you dump me for another girl?"

"You love me?"

"Duh…. Now Just leave me alone you asshole."

Edwin was getting a bit pissed at himself… She was in love with him and he basically dumped him for another girl. He took a deep breath.

"Nicole…"

"You're still here?"

"Yes Nicole I'm still here; I care about you….just not like that…I want you still to be a part of my life. It's just not fair to you that I like another girl and am going out with you. I do feel kinda bad but…"

"Who's the other girl?" Nicole said interrupting.

"What?"

"The other girl, who is she?"

"You don't know her…."

"You know Ed you are a pretty good liar but not that good."

"It's…" Edwin started slowly

"Who?"

"Lizzie…"

"I thought so…"

"Huh?"

"Oh don't play dumb, I caught you a few times shooting her those looks."

Edwin blushed a little and looked away embarrassed.

"At least you're not leading me on…" Nicole sighed, she had a dreamy look in her eyes. " It was good while it lasted."

She touched his cheek softly. "M-may I?" she asked hesitantly

Edwin nodded knowing what she was asking.

Nicole placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"I love you Edwin…But I respect your decision… it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt… but I'll get over it." Nicole said sadly. A lone tear streaked down her face. Edwin took his thumb and wiped the tear.

"I'm sorry." He said softly…

"I know you are…" She replied.

And like that it was over.

Lizzie's POV

Lizzie had been watching the whole exchange. Lizzie felt kind of bad actually… because Edwin broke that poor girl's heart because he loved her…

The kids filed in filling up the classroom. Chatter arose and the teacher took roll. Soon afterward the bell for first period rang.

She sighed collecting her things before heading to class.

Edwin's POV

Edwin left the classroom telling Nicole they could talk later if she wanted. He went to the first period, which he happened to have with Lizzie. He sat next to her in the back.

"How did it go?" Lizzie asked knowingly

"Okay I guess… But I still feel bad… I mean I broke her heart…"

Lizzie sighed, "I'm sorry that well you had to make that choice because of me."

"No no Lizzie no its not your fault…"

"Edwin, I'm a big girl…. I know it was… I mean if you hadn't fallen for me you wouldn't have broken up with her…"

"But… I was the one who fell in love with you so it's my fault.."

"Mr. Venturi, is there something you would like to share with the class?" The teacher asked

"No sir."

"Then I suggest you shut your mouth and pay attention."

"Yes sir."

"I feel kinda bad anyway." Lizzie continued in a hushed whisper.

"Liz don't, I love you and I hate it when you're sad."

"Right back atcha." Lizzie replied.

Edwin smiled.

"So does that mean we're official…?" Lizzie asked softly.

"If you want to be my girlfriend."

"Of course I will Ed." Lizzie said smiling.

She pecked him because no one was looking.

"So who are we gonna tell?" Edwin asked cautiously

"Everyone… their no point keeping it a secret if people don't like it too bad… Because we are not brother and sister…"

Ed smiled pecking her right back.
