~The Next Monday at School~
"I just still can't believe that you and Ty were making out." Rocky said as she leaned up next to Cece's locker.
"I told you, it was the haze of booze, I've realized that I don't actually have feelings for Ty, I'm so sorry Rocky."
"I forgive you." Rocky said hugging Cece.
"I still like him." Cece thought to herself.
"No, I can't, stop thinking about him!"
"Come on, let's get to English." Rocky said, dragging her along.
"I love you Cece." Ty said caressing her cheek.
"I love you too, Ty." Cece said sealing their conversation with a lingering kiss.
The meadow around them was captured by the wind, pushing Cece's hair in her face but it didn't matter, the glee she felt was far beyond any amount of hair could destroy.
"Cece?" Mrs. Green said," Would you like to answer the question?"
"Uh, sure, um… What was the question?" She said.
"What do you know about Romeo and Juliet? Remember, we're just starting the book study?"
"Well," Cece started, suddenly starting to be reflective on her own life," I know that they shared forbidden love, and when they realized they couldn't be together, life didn't matter anymore, or for the more positive people, maybe they just realized that with each other's love, dying didn't really matter at all."
"Very good Cece, very good." The only reason she got the answer correct is she was thinking about Ty.
The one thing she wanted, taken away from her by the other person she loved the most, her best friend.
"So," she concluded to herself," If I choose Rocky, I have to get rid of any thoughts of Ty and forget about him as a person, and regard him with respect, but if I choose him, I lose Rocky, I have been friends with her since we were toddlers, it would be unfair to her."
Because of her constant thoughts about him, her notebook ended up being her haven of 'Cece + Ty' or 'Cece 3 Ty' notes, whether Rocky liked it or not, but considering she didn't know, it was fine with Cece for now.
She would get him back, Rocky just wouldn't know.
"Rocky!" Cece screamed outside the Blue's window.
It was locked, which was extremely unusual for them, as usually they left it open to let in the air (and Cece).
"Rocky!" She said rapping at the window.
"ROCKY!" She screamed.
"God, would you quiet down." Ty said as he emerged from the hall.
"I'm sorry. Is Rocky there?"
"No, she's shopping with our mom."
"So…"
"So" Ty replied.
"I'm so sorry about the other night." Cece said looking down at her feet.
"I'm wearing converse…" She thought to herself, trying to push the thoughts of Ty out of her head.
"It's aight." She said shoving his hands deeper into his pockets.
"I… I really would… I just wish… Bye." Cece said trying to flee, being stopped by a warm hand, perfectly locking in her hand.
"I know, I do too," He said before brushing her lips with his.
"Love you." She said letting go of his hand.
"Back at you." He said going back into his apartment.
"Hey Deuce." Rocky said bounding up to Deuce.
He looked up from twiddling his thumbs.
Ever since the party, he had been avoiding her, trying to get out of every conversation they had.
"Oh, hey Rocky, I think I have to… I think I have to go see that guy." He said trying to scramble away.
"No," She said grabbing his hands," You have been avoiding me ever since the party, what's going on."
"Seriously Rocky, I have to go…"
"No, you won't."
"Rocky, let me go."
"No, I won't let you leave until you give me a valid reason why you haven't been talking to me."
She was met in response by a pair of lips, for only a brief split second, then he left, leaving her there on the school bench to think.
