I walked into the cafeteria and waved to my friends before sitting down with Austin and his friends.

"Dallas found me last night," Austin glanced at me. "I don't know what he was trying to accomplish."

"What'd he do?" I groaned.

Austin chuckled, "nothing. Just rambled on about you."

I huffed, "im sorry. We got in an argument after school."

"Did you wanna hang out after school? I think there is a party tonight at Curly's." Austin suggested.

I shrugged, "I suppose. Pick me up?"

"Of course." He smiled.

"Ah, young love," Kip teased. "Never think of seeing Austin and Winston fighting over the same girl."

"I aint fighting, he is," Austin laughed.

"I heard Jenson Peters talking about you, Elena." Mark butt in. "And Blake. He's your brother, right?"

"Yeah one of my brothers." I nodded. "Jenson was talking to Blake?"

"Yeah well it was in Gym class. A fight nearly broke out so it was more yelling than actual talking." Mark shrugged. "Your brother was not happy."

"Fuck," I sighed and glanced around.

"What happened?" Austin asked.

"I slept with Jenson when I found out Dally was cheating on me. One night stand kind of thing but my brothers never found out."

"Didn't you sleep with that Curtis boy too?" Kip asked.

I raised an eyebrow at him, "how do you know about that?"

"Word gets around, darlin'." He chuckled. "Especially among us greasers."

"Well Soda and I didn't work out." I shrugged. "And my brothers knew about Soda but not Jenson so I'm in deep shit."

"Well your brother just walked in," Austin nudged me.

I glanced over and seen Blake walking towards me. He walked to the edge of the table and stared at Austin, who's hand was on my leg before looking at me.

"Elena I need to talk to you."

"About?" I played dumb and took a bite of my food.

"Your secret love affairs." He rolled his eyes.

"Jenson was more of an act of revenge than he was a secret love affair but-"

"Whatever, Elena, come here."

I laughed and shook my head, "you and Sam will just scold me at home anyway why do you gotta do this now?"

"Because Jenson is going around gloating about sleeping with you because word got around that you and Dallas aren't even going on anymore, Elena. I'm sorry if I don't want all of Will Rogers high to know your sex life, especially because then I've gotta hear all about it."

I rolled my eyes, "fine. I'll talk to Dally. He'll take care of it." I stood up and made my way for Dally's table.

"Hey, Elena," Steve waved.

Dallas turned his head but looked back at his food to ignore me.

"Hey guys." I waved.

"Going to the party tonight?" Two-bit nudged me.

I chuckled, "yeah." I turned away from them and put my hand on Dally's shoulder. "Can I talk to you?"

"No."

"Dally please?" I sighed.

"No." He muttered again.

I moved so I was more in front of him and kneeled down to his level, placing my head on my hands on the table. "I'll be your best friend?"

He stared at me then looked away, "no."

"Okay well please Dal?" I glanced away. "I don't know who else could help me."

"How 'bout your little boyfriend?" He glanced back towards Austin.

"It has nothing to do with him." I stood up. "If you won't help me fine." I walked away from him. I sat back down with Austin and looked at Blake. "There is nothing I can do about it Blake. Talk to me at home."

"Whatever," he huffed and walked away.

-

I stood at my locker talking to Austin when we heard yelling coming down the hall. He grabbed my hand and pulled me along to see who was fighting. When we shoved to the front of the crowded hallway, I seen Dally having Jenson shoved against the lockers.

"Oh and there's our shared interest," Jenson laughed.

Dally glanced at me then punched Jenson again. I flinched as he did it because of how hard he hit him. I didn't want to stop Dally. I had no reason to. This is what I wanted him to do in the first place.

Others who knew the situation were looking at me waiting to step in and try to stop Dallas but there is no way I could do that on my own, and no way I wanted to.

Steve and Two-bit ran up to see the fight, and seeing it was Dally they jumped in to get him off of Jenson. I saw Blake standing there watching too.

Dally wiped his nose and glanced at me. He looked at Austin then pushed through the crowd and walked away.

I looked at Jenson and laughed a little, then took Austin's hand and walked away too.

"I thought you said he wouldn't do anything about it?"

"He wasn't going to. I didn't even tell him what I needed help with so he must have found out on his own. That was probably a mix of payback for when I slept with him because he never found out who it was, and a warning to get him to stop talking about me."

"A warning? He kicked his ass, what left is there to do?" Austin chuckled.

I stared at him for a moment then began laughing, "nothing legal."

"Right," he put his arm around my shoulders and chuckled. "You've got quite a bit of chaos in your life."

"Always on my toes," I laughed and he walked me to my next class.
