Dakota's POV

      It was only until the end of Jacob, Vera and I's interview until Tanner's girlfriend, Zion Heard, pulled me aside.

      I couldn't help but seem to notice Jacob look at me in worrisome as Zion pulled me to the side.

      I fear what Zion may have to say.

      "I-if this is about Tanner, Zion, I apologize. I had no idea that he had a girlfriend." I say as fast as I could.

       Zion chuckled. "Dakota, don't worry. I'm not upset, okay? I just wanted to make sure that there's no bad blood between us. Maybe Tanner's an exception, he's a piece of shit."

       I couldn't help but smile at her kindness. How could such a sweet person ever get cheated on?

      "Yes, of course! No bad blood. If I knew from the beginning, I wouldn't have allowed him."

      Zion shook her head. "Did he really never mention anything about me?"

      I sighed. "No.. he even had the audacity to be upset at Jacob for being exposed."

      "What a jerk!"

      "You're a wonderful person, Zion. You'll find someone better." I touch her upper arm.

      She smiled. "You too. Someone looked a tad bit protective over you." Zion winked.

I turned around to see Jacob already staring at Zion and I, but he immediately looked away as he entered the restaurant.

I blushed.

"It was great speaking to you, Zion. Care to join me at the restaurant?" And with that, Zion accepted my offer.

Jacob's POV

I was seated right across from Tanner. Just fucking great.

My night was okay until fucking Vera claimed I was her boyfriend and now I'm right across from Tanner. Bitch can't even look me straight in the eye.

To make it even worse, to my right is Vera, but thankfully, Peyton's sat to my left. She's a lifesaver by humbling Vera.

I wonder if Dakota's done talking to Zion Heard. She's been gone for a suspiciously long time.

"Jacob, you'll be my boyfriend again, right?" Vera asks. To be honest, her voice sounds like a bratty girl who's forcing her voice to be high-pitched. Fucking annoying.

"Vera, if anything, anyone here would rather vote take their helmet off in outer space than listen to your fake ass voice." Peyton rolled her eyes.

Vera eyed Peyton down. "If anything, my boobs are real."

"Girl, what boobs?" Xolo chimed in, but I laughed as Hannah hit his arm right after.
