Katie's POV.
"There's that million dollar smile. " Dylan says.I laugh.Dylan is my brother's best friend.
"Hey Dyl." I say hugging him.
"Did you hear?" He asks.
"What?" I ask confused.
"Carter, Jack and Aaron are back in town.
"Oh that's cool." I say.
"They're coming here." He says.
"You're funny." I say hitting his chest with a laugh.
"I'm serious." He says.
"Stop." I say.
"Have a look for yourself. " he says spinning me around pointing at the three guys.
"Fuck." I mumble.
"Hey baby girl.Haven't seen you in a long time." Carter says touching my bum.I slap his hand.
"Fuck off." I say.
"Got somewhere to go?" Jack asks stepping infront of me.
"Move the fuck out of my way. " I say.
"Sorry, but I can't do that." Jack whispers in my ear.His breath is cold and heavy.Sending chills down my back.
"Hey bab-" Matt says.
I push Jack off me.He laughs and looks at Matt.
"Hey Espinosa." Carter says.
"What the hell are they doing here?" Matt whispers.
"I can't do this." I say.I walk off.
"Kat! Wait I didn't get my hug!" Matt says his voice trailing behind me.
I turn around and our faces meet.
"Sorry." I mumble. I wrap my arms around him.
"Hey, don't let them change your mood." He says rubbing my back.
" It's just..you know how it is." I say.
"Hey.Don't stress yourself. "
"I'm not."
"I love you babe, have a good day." He says.I smile and walk away.He grabs my wrist.I turn my head.He pulls me close to him.
"Huh?" I say.
"I love you." He says and kisses my forehead.
"Love you too." I say.I kiss his cheek and go to class.

"And that's how America was discovered. " Ms.Jackson says wrapping up our lesson.The councilor steps in.She talks to Ms.Jackson. "Students, we have a few young guys joining us." She says.The door swings open.

Jack.
Aaron.
"Welcome Carter, Aaron and Jack." I lean my head down."There's an empty seat next to Katie, Katie raise your hand." She says.
"Oh, no need for that.I know exactly who she is." Jack says.I mentally curse myself out.He takes the seat.Carter and Aaron glance at me and smirk.
"So..we meet again." He says brushing his leg against mine.

I open the front door to be greeted by Lucas aka the step father from hell.
"Where were you?" He asks.
"Oh I went to Africa, then swung by Australia to say hi to Luke Hemmings." I say with a smile.
"Very funny, I called you twice." He says.
"I know, and I ignored you twice. "
"Why can't you be like Jacob?" He sighs and walks away.
I laugh.
"Hey sweetheart! " my mom says greeting me.
"Hi." I say smugly.
"Someone by the name Carter called, he asked to speak to you."
I groan.The fuckboy knows my house number. .great.
"Hmm..doesn't ring a bell." I lie.My mom shrugs.
"Well, I made you a sandwich, kitchen. " she says.

"Don't worry about them. " Cam says.
"They fucking taunt me." I say.
"Well you always have us to protect you." Nash says.I shrug.
"So did you talk to your parents about moving?" I ask.
"I mentioned it.They didn't say much other than "if you wanna do something like that..then you all better have a job." And left it at that." Nash says.
"Did they agree to Hayes going?"
"They said it would be fine as long as Hayes doesn't get influenced in any way by us."
"Hayes is 16." I laugh.
"Cam?" Dani asks.
"Well she said she didn't mind as long as we aren't careless and stupid. " he says.I nod.
~
"Truth or Dare." Hayes asks Matt.
"Truth." He says.
"If you could ask Katie to marry you..would you?"
"Any day of the week." Matt says with a smile.
"Alright, truth or dare Katie? "
"Dare."
"Sit on Matt's lap." I shrug and get up.
"Hey there. " Matt says with a smirk. I hit his arm.
"Hurry up so we can move on." Hayes says.I flick him off.I sit on Matt's lap getting comfortable.
"Cam,-"
"Dare." He says.
"Kiss Katie. "
"Okay why is everything surrounded by me? There are like 4 other girls in here." I say.
Hayes laughs. Cam bends down and kisses my cheek.
~
"Aaron." I say.
"Katie." Aaron says.He walks over to me and gives me a hug.
Long story short I've been talking to Aaron ever since he's left town..soo..a year.
"Do they know?" He asks.I shake my head.
"They think I hate you."
"And why is that? " he asks.
"I never talk about you, I'm always calling the three of you fuckboys and I always say I hate you." I explain.
"But you love me right. .?" He asks getting behind me.
I nod.He pulls me close to his body and hugs me.
