Alex chewed her bubblegum loudly, following Paige follow Dylan who followed Marco who followed his father around the school.

A father who DID not accept anyone nor his son being gay, but that was one secret he didn't know yet, that Marco was gay and Dylan was his boyfriend.

"Marco, ever since you won that president vote, you've made me so proud." his father said, shaking his shoulders.

Marco rolled his eyes smiling, "Well Dad, your huge posters of my face really helped." he nodded to Alex, "And so did my partner. This is my VP."

His father nodded at Alex, "I remember you at the rally. You made a good fight!"

Alex bit the end of her tounge, remembering that day.. last year. She had told Marco she'd tell everyone he was gay so she could win school president. It wasn't the right way to win so she didn't, plus..who was she to judge when she had confusing thoughts back then too?

Geez..how ironic and bad karma was that?

"What's with you?" Paige whispered to Alex as they again started to show Marco's dad the rest of the school.

"nothin." shrugged Alex, lied Alex.

She nervously put her hands in her pocket, her fingers gripping her phone tightly. What 'A' wanted her to do...god Paige would kill her.. plus Marco would hate her.

'A' wanted her to tell Marco's father he was gay.

Alex stopped walking and Paige looked concerned, "Hon, are you okay?" she softly asked

"I-I gotta go." Alex turned and ran off. She heard her phone beep and cursed, running harder but she knew she couldn't run from it.

She paced back and forth in the bathroom and leaned down by the sink, splashing her face. She finally opened her phone up...

'You'd rather everyone know your gay and think Paige is, then tell Marcos dad sooner than later that his son is gay? You got one more hour to decide-A.'

Alex leaned on the wall and slid down it, putting her head into her hands and shutting her eyes tight.

What was she suppose to do?

Meanwhile, Emma worked on a project in the library by herself, and she put some art around a bristle board, glueing it on.

Behind her, in the book shelves, somebody watched her.

Nobody, not even the Liberian was in there, and as the figure got closer to Emma, she was clueless.

"AH!" Emma yelped, standing up when someone tickled her sides and she shot up, jumping and slapped a laughing grinning Jay, "Not funny." she snapped.

"Pretty funny." he noted, smirking down at her as she glared and caught her breath

She looked around and eyed him, "When'd you get in here?"

"I skipped third and came in here, fell asleep at the computer." he informed.

"Ofcourse." Emma taunts, rolling her eyes but smiling, "Now if you excuse me, I actually have work I'd like to finish."

"Am I a distraction?" he asked while sitting beside her project on the table and she tried not to smile, god he was such a little jerk with all his charming lines.

"Not at all." she declared sitting down and he grinned, shaking his head until Emma's phone beeped.

Emma looked at it and reached for it as it sat on her bag and Jay watched her open it, and slowly look up at him

"What?" he asked. Why'd he stop breathing ? he didn't have to worry. It was probably one of her friends.

Stupid god damn 'A' was gone.

She/he had to be.

Emma slowly turned her phone to let him see her text message..

'There's something in the air...do you feel it? -A.'

Jay stared at it, and his stomach turned. No. No it couldn't be, it had to be a sick joke. Why now!? FUCK. That means she/he was still watching.

"Got to go." Jay said, getting off her table but she grabbed his arm and he frowned sadly, seeing the hurt in her eyes as he looked down at her.

She didn't think this hurt him too? He couldn't let her find out though, nor get hurt. Least this way she wasn't as hurt as she would be finding out he did what he did to Rick that almost got her killed.

"I'm going to go out with Peter." she admitted to him, sadness in her eyes and kinda wishing Jay would fight for her.

Fight for what they could have.

Hurt now flashed over Jay's face.

Emma looked down as she explained, "He.. doesn't make me feel uneasy. He's around and he's there for me. Hes.."

He's her mission on trying to move on from Jay.

She couldn't handle the lies or secrets anymore.. or not being around him.

"He's good for you." Jay found himself saying, swallowing his hurt. What? It's not like he could just..date Emma.

Even without 'A' he couldn't..she was too good, he wanted clean cut like Poin Dexter himself, he couldn't make Emma happy.. look how miserable he made her now.

Jay looked away, coughing slightly, "You should date him." he looked at her phone with a stone cold face.

And if A was back.. Emma would be safer with another guy.

But why'd his heart feel like it was being tossed into an office paper shredder?

He closed his eyes as Emma grabbed her project and stormed passed him, "great." she snapped, leaving.

She was so sick of his hot and coldness, he was probably the damn inspiration of Katy Perry's song, Hot and Cold.

Emma madly now sat in her room as Manny came down.

"Hey Em." she greets, jumping on her bed and said louder, "HEY EM!" she blasted music, the one and only Katy Perry to be specific

I should know
That you're no good for me

Emma completely ignored Manny, painting her toe nails with nail polish and Manny smiled, shaking her head.

She waved her hand infront of Emma's face who snapped out of it and her nail polish fell.

"Crap!" Emma exclaimed.

[Chorus:]
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really wanna stay, no
(you) But you don't really wanna go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down-

Emma hopped off the bed and went to the radio, shoving it to the ground instead of just turning it off.

"bad day?" Manny blinked, staring at the broken radio.

Emma scowled.

She came back and sat with Manny on the bed, "I'm done. Peter Stone, I'm into it. Let's do this." she nodded, trying to convince herself it'd work.

Even Manny passed her a small sympathy smile.

"What happened with Jay? What'd he do now?" Manny knew too well.

Emma sighed, shaking her head, "Doesn't matter.. I'm done with him and his secrets." she stared off and sadness washed over her.

Manny sighed, leaning her head on Emma's shoulder, "We all say that.." she insists.

Silence.

"I'm dating Craig again." Manny confessed.

"MANNY!"

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride
