I HATE YOU :: viii. | round one
It was the Friday before the dance. Rachel had her whole plan cooked up. Though it was to make ashely jealous, she was also looking for a little fun as well.
Since the game, Ashely has been spending lots of time with Jake. She didn't know what it was, she just found him fascinating and he was obviously a lot different from Lucas. She was always able to move on pretty quickly but Rachel, she just couldn't. Maybe it was because she didn't love Lucas, she didn't— that's why it was so easy to go on to the next.
She still deeply cares for Lucas, she doesn't regret the last couple of months she spent with him but she changed since the coma. Being with Lucas would just remind her that change is not possible. She didn't want to be tethered to her past, she was looking in the future — the present and right now, for her, that's Jake.
Rachel had gotten back into school so it was no surprise that she was walking alongside Brooke, heading to the entrance. As they walked, she saw Lucas talking with some of his buddies. She left Brooke's side and began to head over to Lucas. Just in time, Ashely was walking from the parking lot with Jake.
"Lucas, hello." The redhead stood in front of him with a slight smirk, too easily missed to see.
"What do you want, Rachel?" He wasn't too pleased to see her.
"I might've heard Ashely broke up with you and perhaps I can help." Her shoulders did a slight shrug.
"With what?" He still looked very unamused.
Rachel leaned in and whispered in his hear, "To make her jealous." As she was coming back into his sight, she quickly gave him a small peck on his neck. She didn't even have to assume Ashely was looking because she knew she was. It always did come easy for her to catch Ashely's eye.
