I could say my laptop crashed (because it really happened) and it has be the reason I haven't update this story. But the true it I'm going through a writer's block (as I never said it) and it has been hard to know what to write next.

Thanks to everyone who read last chapter and thanks too to everyone who left a lovely review. They help me to convince myself I have to keep going with this story because people read it.

I hope you enjoy the new chapter.

Read and Review

When Chris closed his locker's door a presence at his side made him jump of surprise. His heart started beating faster. He wasn't expecting to see Katie Lea standing at his side.

- Did I scare you? - Katie asked in an innocent tone of voice. Her eyes were glued on Chris, who was still recovering from the surprise. It had been a while since he had seen or spoken with the girl who presented herself with a, very dark, mascara around her blue eyes.

- No - Chris answered and put a convincing expression on his face. A smirk was formed by Katie's lips. She hadn't believed him. - If you don't mind, I have to go...

- I want to speak with you. - Katie wrapped one of hands around Chris' wrist. - It's about those strange things you found inside your bag. I discovered who has been doing it and I already told her to stop with it

- Thanks, I guess - Chris stuttered. Feeling very surprised with Katie's revelation, Chris didn't remember to ask who was. If it wasn't Katie, who was? - Is that all?

- Yes - Katie said and let go his wrist. She turned around, but before leaving to her classroom, she glanced over her shoulder and spoke: - You owe me one.

- You didn't need to walk me home. It has only been a week since you got sick. - When classes ended, Stacy made question of accompany Candice until her house. After their small discussion a couple of weeks ago, they only changed greets and gave small answers as "yes" or "no". The blonde wanted her relationship with Candice to return to the way it used to be

- Yes, I needed because I want to apologize for my insinuations - Stacy said. Even if I think that flirt with a taken guy is wrong, I'm your friend. I have to stay at your side and support your decisions.

- Just because we are friends it doesn't mean you have to forget your values and accept every single action I do. - A smile appeared across Candice's lips. - I'm really into Phil. I know he has a girlfriend, but I don't know how to convince my heart that I have to forget him because he is taken.

- It's not your heart you have to convince, you have to convince your hormones. Love is a chemical reaction.

- Do you mind to not destroy romance?

- Well, I'm losing faith in romance - Stacy grumbled with a disappointed expression on her face. - I have been talking with Randy again. - The statement caught Candice off guard. - The other day we went out in a friendly date which turned out in a real date. I was going to take him back, but then this boy showed up and punched him because he slept with his girlfriend.

- Why did it stop you from taking him back?

- Only after having sex with some girl, Randy decided that wanted me back. - Stacy thought that if he wanted her as he was saying, he would never get involved with another woman. - Randy told me he loved me, but how can you love someone and be with another person?

- Probably it was a one night stand. He doesn't have feelings towards the girl. I bet that after having sex with her, he realized you are the owner of his heart.

- If Randy only understood he wanted to be with me after being with another girl, I don't think I want to be with him - Stacy stated without dugouts. She wasn't going to date a guy who needed to be with another girl to discover his real feelings. - Shouldn't you be telling me how dumb I'm for thinking to get back with Randy?

- I follow my heart not my head. I know a lot happened between you two. I even know you are hiding from me and Torrie things about your relationship. - With a comforting smile, Candice held Stacy's hand. Whatever Stacy's decision was, she would support her. - If your heart tells you to be with Randy again, I think you should give him an opportunity.

Locking her bedroom door, Ashley lied at Punk's side on the bed. As the girl's parents had gone to spend the weekend out with a couple of friends, they had the all house for themselves.

The blonde leaned her face against his chest. - I can't believe they hid it from me. I thought we were best friends and we could trust each other.

- I don't think Trish wanted to share with the World that she cheated on Jeff.

- She wasn't going to share it with the World. - Ashley replied a little mad. At the moment, she was mad with the girls she called best friends. There shouldn't be secrets between them and Amy and Trish hid it from her. - She was only going to share it with me, one of her supposed best friends. If weren't those girls gossiping inside the bathroom, I would never know about it.

- I think I would have told you. Breaking up Jeff from Randy was a hard task. I found weird how Randy didn't try to hit him.

- Well, those girls inside the bathroom said Randy was on a date with his ex-girlfriend. Maybe he wanted to impress her and decided it was better to not hit Jeff - Ashley explained to her boyfriend point of view. If Randy had stood up and hit Jeff, the smaller boy probably would have ended up the day inside a hospital.

- Why the hell would he want to thrill someone who cheated on him with a guy he hates?

- I don't - Ashley answered. She wasn't men expert, but Randy didn't seem a guy who would crawl back to a girl who gave him a pair of horns. - Randy is a guy. If any of us has to know the answer it is you, not me.

- I'm a guy - Punk said -, but I'm different from guys as Randy. I have no idea of what is going on inside his head.

- Why are you talking about Randy?

- Because you brought him up in the conversation we were having about Trish.

- Well, then let's forget Randy and my traitorous friends - Ashley said and kissed his chin. - The house is all ours. Let's do something funnier. - With those words, Ashley caught her boyfriend's lips.

Not only Ashley was left alone with the house all to herself. Kelly had been left with the house key, while her parents went to an important dinner. They would only return next day and she took the opportunity to invite her two best friends, the Bella Twins, to spend the night over her house.

- So, what do you think? - Kelly asked with a big smile covering her face. At the afternoon, she had gone to shop. She felt her closet needed to be recycled not only because she felt her clothes weren't fashion anymore, but she wanted a wardrobe to call John's attention.

- I wish my parents were yours - Brie said with her eyes fixed on the clothes Kelly had bought. The only blonde from the group of friends has brought with her from the mall at least ten full bags of clothes. - These look expensive.

- Well, daddy gave me a new card and I went to use it - Kelly said falling into the bed at Brie and Nikki's side. The twins were sat on the pink mantle that was covering the king size bed.

- You missed the practice to go shop. Why didn't you invite us to go with you? - Nikki complained. Once a while, Kelly was a real pain in the neck, but going to shop with her was always fun. They would get into every single store and try on clothes until a big pile was formed.

- I'm sorry. - The blonde played with her prefect blonde locks. Not only she made a big trip to the clothes department, but she went to the hairdresser too. - I have been very distracted with everything that is going on.

- Are you talking about John? - Kelly nodded with her head to the question made by one of the twins. - I think you two should take a moment to speak with each other about your relationship.

- Forgive us for telling you this, but you have a very strange relationship - the other twin said to Kelly's dismay. Of course they had a strange relationship; they hadn't a relationship at all. - We already heard girls saying you aren't and had never been together because he despises you.

It may have taken Kelly a while to make up a lie, but she made up a great one. It was going to be easy to her friends and everyone who was talking behind her back to believe it.

- We are just going a rough path because of his father. He doesn't want John to have a girlfriend. We are trying to keep everything quiet until John can have a serious talk with his father about me.

- That's hard - the Bellas said at the same time and then looked at her blonde friend. They gave her a sorrow glance for the situation she was. It must be really hard to like someone and can't be with her or him because your parents don't accept it.

- I and John have been struggling to be together. - A smirk was formed by Kelly's lips. She knew they would believe her story. - But I know at the end, we will make it and John's father is going to accept me as his girlfriend.

Lied in her bed, Trish was making desperate calls to the boy who used to be her boyfriend tough she knew he wouldn't answer them.

The blonde's eyes were red and swallow of crying so much. It had spent a week since her eyes didn't return to their normal colour.

Trish fought her conscience during weeks. At the end, it won and she told Jeff the truth. She had to do it or would never more be able to look at her own image in the mirror.

Everything that happened had been a mistake. She hadn't meant it to happen. It was a big mistake and she regretted it. If she could back in time, she would make everything different. She and Randy would have met in a public library and not in his bedroom; she would resist his charm and wouldn't cheat on her long time boyfriend; she wouldn't fall in his bed.

A few weeks had spent since she had been with Randy and everything that happened between them it still was a very vivid moment. The petit blonde didn't know if she remembered it because she had become a cheater or because she had was feeling something towards Randy. Those thoughts only made more tears to run from Trish's hazel eyes.

With her painful eyes fixed on her cell phone, hoping a return call from her ex-boyfriend, because it was what he was now, Trish fell asleep.

I'm sorry for the spelling and grammar mistakes. English isn't my first language.
