I grab her arm to make her stop walking. People walk around us, "Smarter than what?"

"Smart enough to know, once a cheater always a cheater." Kyla says.

I let go of Kyla's arm, "Well, Kyla, you know I was a cheater before I went out with Lily, right? And now look at me... I haven't cheated on her within the past two years. Cheaters never change huh?"

"I'm not talking about you." Kyla says.

"You're talking about her and... I don't want you to."

She sighs, "She did something wrong, she's allowed to be talked about."

I open my mouth then close it, "I don't wanna talk about this right now. Just worry about yourself when Derrick is inching his way in you pants." I walk away from Kyla, leaving her fuming... I hope.

I hate it when people butt in to my business, especially when they're trying to give me advice on something. I know I'd be better off taking their advice but I'm hard headed and I like it that way.

After storming off, away from Kyla, I run into Hunter... like I knew I would. "Where are you going in such a hurry?" he says grabbing my shoulders because he's a built boy and almost knocked me over.

"Why do you have to be so huge?" I say to him.

He laughs and takes his hands away from me, "Jealous?"

I roll my eyes and smile, "You know it."

he laughs, "So where you going in such a hurry?"

"Lunch."

"You're never this eager to go to lunch. Skipping?" he asks.

I roll my eyes, "No... I don't think so. And plus I don't even have my car because mom's psycho."

"She is isn't she?" I nod, "Well, she gets it from granny."

I laugh, "She's living in the house right?" I ask.

He nods, "Yes, until tomorrow."

"Well, I won't be home tonight."

"I don't blame you. If I was you I wouldn't wanna go home either. Grandma hates lesbians." Hunter says not being as timid Jeremy.

I laugh, "Finally, one of my siblings that actually understands."

He smiles, "Yeah, well I cannot tell a lie."

I roll my eyes, "Uh, yeah right. I think you can." We both laugh and continue talking to each other until his "friend" Emily puts her little, fragile arm on his shoulder.

"Hey, you ready to go?" she says being all skanky and flirty. Emily Wessler is pretty smoking hot though. Her and Hunter have been dating on and off since we got here. He told me that she said that she would give up her single life for him. But my brother doesn't know a good offer.

Hunter looks down to Emily because their height difference is extreme, "Yeah, you know Roxy, my sister, right?"

She looks at me then smiles, "Hey Roxy." I smile and wave at her then she looks back to Emily, "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, one second, kay?" he says to her. She nods and walks off.

"So..." I say wiggling my eyebrows, "What's up with that?"

"I decided why not, you know? And plus Kyla seemed more interested in what you were doing then what I was doing." he says looking in the direction of Emily, "But we're together. I'm gonna try and she's gonna try."

"What do you mean Kyla was more interested in me?" I asks.

"I don't know. She was just really always worried about you—but hey, I'm gonna go to lunch. I'll see you later. Love ya, Rox." he says then walks over to Emily's beautiful red convertible. I would date her just to ride in that car but wait—Kyla was more interested in me? My brother doesn't have a gaydar so I cant really trust him. Life would be so much easier if I was back in Ohio, I know I'm a crybaby about this but.. fuck it, no one judges me but me.

I decide that I'm not really hungry today so I sit out in the parking lot on a bench. Quiet moments like this, I would text Lily just to see what she was doing... even if she was right next to me. Then she would call me ten minutes later with the response. Our school didn't care too much about cellphones as long as we did our work.

"You in Spanish?" she says to me over the phone.

I lean back in my chair watching my more than attractive Spanish teacher roll her R's, "Si." I say.

She giggles, "Having fun?"

"I guess... I'm just sitting here watching Ms. Rodriguez roll her R's."

I hear her suck air through her teeth, "She looking hot today?"

"Always."

"You know you're making me jealous, right?"

I smirk, mission accomplished, "I had an idea."

"She hotter than me?" Lily asks.

I hesitate just to make her a little bit angry, "No."

"You hesitated, is she?" she asks quickly.

I laugh, "No, no. Calm down. What were you gonna do, go Kim Possible on her ass?"

she laughs on the other line, "Yeah."

"You should come to my class, it's hella boring." I say.

"Um... that could be arranged. We have a sub today." she says.

That seriously brightened my day, "So you gonna ask her?"

"Him, Mr. Gray is our sub today." she says correcting me.

"The cute guy? Well, damn, maybe I should go there." I say laughing.

She giggles, "You can be so gay one moment then the next moment you're all over guys."

"Isn't that what you love about me?" I say.

"No! That actually sucks." she says laughing.

"You know I suck too..." I say acting quite flirty to change the subject.

I imagine her dimples turning red as I hear her laughter, "I know you do. So are you coming here or am I going there?"

"I'll go there if you want, who's all in there?" I ask because I don't want to be hanging out with any nerds or exes.

"Um... Sabrina, Jeremy... and I don't know. I only talk to Sabrina and Jeremy." she says.

"You talk to my brother? Don't leave me for him." I joke.

She laughs, "I could never leave you... I've tried on more than one occasion."

I laugh, "You think you're so funny."

"Well, I am... I get it from my girlfriend."

I blush then smile, "She must be pretty hot... and funny... and totally smoking."

"Actually no, she's just cute, I'm hotter than her."

"Hey! Well, you are pretty hot." I say and she laughs with me.

"So you would do me?" she asks.

"Yeah!" I screech and I catch Ms. Rodriguez's attention

"Excuse me, Roxy. Could you answer this question?" Ms. Rodriguez asks.

"Um... si?" I say taking a guess.

The teacher giggles in Spanish... if that's even possible. If it is, she's doing it, "No. Please pay attention and say goodbye to whoever you're talking to--"

"Okay." I talk into the phone, "I gotta--"

"On speaker please. Hopefully, you're talking to someone in Spanish so I can give you extra credit because you know talking on the phone in class is only for emergencies." she says making her G sound like a H so it sounds more like e-mer-HEN-cies.

"Um, adios mi amour?" I say questioning my wording.

"Adios, mi amiga. Hasta luego." Lily says saving my life as I hang up the phone. She only knows Spanish because I'm the best teacher in the world and maybe because her mom hired a Spanish maid... and her four years of Spanish.

I've always felt so comfortable with Lily, that wasn't even after a year of dating. That was around our nine month, yeah, nine months. Without hesitation I would take her back, maybe it's only because of guilt though. I feel like her car accident was all my fault, if I hadn't yelled at her or broke up with her we'd be fine, right? No matter what everyone else tells me, I'm still gonna feel like it's my fault. I'm always to blame. How emo of me.

A car pulls up in front of me and honks. I look in the driver's side seat to see a vision of beauty to snap me out of Lily mode, "Hey." she says.

I stand up and smile while then walk over to her, "You're actually early... too early. I have two more classes left."

Erika turns off her car and looks up at me, "Well, that must mean you have lunch now?" she asks.

"Yeah, did you bring me something?" I ask and step back so she can get out.

She opens her door then closes it, "What could I get you?"

"McDonald's, Arby's, Chick-fil-a, Starbucks. I could go on." I say being a smart-ass.

She rolls her eyes, "No need. Next time I decide to be nice and surprise you, I'll bring you food, okay?" she asks.

I smile then nod, "That's just fine." she laughs then looks away from me, I assume she's blushing. "So I guess we're gonna eat lunch here?" I ask her.

"Because you wanna show off your college friend." she says.

I roll my eyes and sarcastically say, "Yep, you're right. I mean, no one else knows college people, I'm the only one."

She lightly hits me on the arm, "Okay, cut the sarcasm. Is there any good food here?"

I begin to walk away but then I quickly wrap my arm through Erika's arm and we walk, "The food here is just like the girls here. Looks appetizing but don't ever touch it."

She laughs, "Did you make that up?"

"Yeah, something I noticed while living in Hollywood." I say smiling.

"So you're saying that everyone in this state has no chance with you?" she asks.

I approach the table I see Kyla sitting with Rachel and Jeremy... Spencer and Carmen have to be somewhere around here, "Yeah, pretty much. Everyone here is all over the place."

I stop walking and so does she, "So that includes me?" she says looking at me.

I look at her then look away. I don't wanna tell her she basically doesn't have a chance with me but she doesn't. She's cute and all but... Lily. One word answer. I don't like crushing people unless they tick me off and Erika has done nothing... except for flirting with me nonstop.

I open my mouth to say something but Spencer walks up just in time, "Hey, Roxy." she says brushing her hand by my shoulder as she walks by.

I direct my attention to Spencer, "Hey, Spence. What's up?"

She sits beside Kyla, "Nothing, waiting for school to be over." she looks at Erika, "Who's you friend?"

I look at Erika and she's just smiling away, "This is Erika. She works at Pac Sun with me." I look back at Spencer, "She's a college student so don't say anything stupid around her."

Erika rolls her eyes at me playfully, "I'm sure you're all smarter than me, I only got into college because my dad paid them off."

Everyone laughs, "Well, everyone this is Erika, and Erika this is," as I say their names I point to them, "Jeremy, my little brother. Rachel, my twin, if you couldn't tell. Kyla, the smartest of us all and Spencer, my Ohio lover."

Spencer smiles and scoffs, "She means Ohio lover as in we both lived in Ohio... and we're still very much in love with it."

Erika nods her head and smiles, "Okay."

"Don't I get an introduction?" Carmen says walking up behind Spencer.

"Sorry." I look at Erika, "That is Carmen, the newbie to the group or Spencer's girlfriend but I prefer newbie.
