Joanna's POV:
Brook texted me that he was going home. Why? I thought we were gonna go home together. Well, anyways. Ashley Fisher. How could a person be that rude? How could a human treat another human like this? I suddenly got a flashback that I didn't really wanna remember.
--Flashback, about 2 years ago--
"Joanna, I'm leaving. You'll be fine. Don't act like a baby." said dad.
"Dad! How could you just say that? How can you just expect me to wake up one morning, and tell me you're leaving and I'm supposed to be fine? I'm supposed to not have any questions?"
"Joanna. You know, Emily." my dad said. Emily was Ashley's mom. "Emily Fisher?"
my dad nodded and added "Emily has money. Emily has love."
"Dad, people can still talk to their dad even though you're gonna marry someone else. We can't even talk?"
"Ashley doesn't like you. Emily wont marry me unless I let you go. Emily told me that she wont marry me unless Ashley gets what she wants."
"Wow. You're letting me go? Just like that? Just because Ashley wants you to let me go? And this seems to be so easy for you."
"Well, its not like I ever really loved you. Its not that hard to let go of someone you don't love."
"Dad! No! I love you! How can you leave me?!" I yelled while my dad was getting his suitcase and walking out. "What's so good about the Fishers? What's wrong with mom and me?" I yelled while sobbing. "Don't compare Emily and Ashley to you and Abby. I hope you know that I married your mom because I felt bad for her. I hope you know you weren't born because of love!" My dad yelled and then kicked and slapped me. I fell to the ground because of the kick and slap and was crying while watching my dad get farther and farther from me.
--End of Flashback--
After that terrible memory, I got out of the bathroom stall and slowly walked back to my place. When I got to my room after hugging mom, I texted Brook.
Brooklyn's POV:
I was laying in bed when I got a text from Joanna.
--Text--
From Joanna:
Hey Brook. Get home safe? what happened? I thought we were gonna go home together. but anyway, how did you like your first day? haha text me back when you see this! (:
What the heck? Is Joanna trying to act like my friend again? I can't believe I actually thought that Joanna wanted to be my friend. I was getting angry, and then I called her.
--On The Phone--
"Beckham! What's up?"
"Joanna please stop. I know what you're doing. I know you don't like me for me. I found out your little secret. If you actually have a conscious and you feel bad, well don't worry because people are always faking around me."
"What? Brooklyn what the heck are you talking about? I'm not faking. We are friends. I like you for you. How could you even think that?"
"Good bye Joanna. I really had fun hanging out with you even though you were only doing it for attention." then I hung up.
--School the next day--

Maram's POV:
I saw Joanna walking to homeroom, so I ran to her and gave her a hug. "Hey Joanna." She smiled, but I could tell something was wrong. "Joanna, what's wrong?"
Joanna's POV:
Maram's my best friend. She knows me. She also knew I was feeling sad. After she asked what was wrong I told her what happened when Brook called me. She looked at me confused and said "What? How could Brook think you're using him?"
"I really don't know. Now he's super mad at me, and I don't know what to do." Maram looked at Ashley who was listening to our conversation from far away and then said "Ashley." she walked to Ashley and then I went to homeroom because my teacher arrived.
Maram's POV:
I walked to Ashley and said "Hey president of Brooklyn's fan club."
She looked at me super rude and said "Yeah. Exactly. I am the president. What do you want?"
"What did you tell Brooklyn about Joanna?"
"Nothing. Well, I just tricked him a little to make sure he doesn't fall in love with some lame girl."
"She is not a lame girl. She's my bestfriend and what you did to her is not okay."
"What are you gonna do about it?" she said smiling. Ashley Fisher is honestly the most annoying person ever. I walked away and went to class because my teacher came. After class, I came to Joanna's classroom and saw her doing homework. "Joanna, I know why Brooklyn thinks that." Joanna's eyes widened and she said "Why why why? Tell me please!" I smiled and took my phone out. Before I talked to Ashley I pressed record on my phone. I played it for her and she looked so happy! "Omg Maram how did you know that you should record?" I laughed and said "After being around Ashley it seemed like just the thing she would do. So I just needed the evidence." Joanna hugged me and said thank you and that she had to go to tutoring class. When I got home I attached the recording on a text message and sent it to Brooklyn.
Brooklyn's POV:
I was teaching Romeo some cool skateboarding techniques, when I got a text.
--Text--
From Maram:
Open the recording. How could you even believe her? How could you even think that Joanna would do that? I'm honestly disappointed that you believed Ashley, but here's proof. Your apology better be good to Joanna tomorrow.
I listened to the recording and felt like such an idiot. People always fake around me, but with Joanna it felt different. It felt real. And now I know that it is real. I thanked Maram and wondered what to say to Joanna the next day.
