Anastasia begins to fix her hair and clothes, unlocks the door, and walks out of the closet.

Have fun? Luis smirks we didn't hear much talking.

Adam looks up at Dean Portman and Anastasia waiting for the answer.

Dean stands behind Anastasia yep it was fine we talked and got to know eachother. Portman goes to sit next to Fulton.

Anastasia goes to sit by Russ not meeting Banks' blue eyes burning a hole through the side of her head.

Averman gets closer squinting his eyes and points Hickey!

Adam gets up and leaves the room after sending daggers to Portman and then to Anastasia.

Anastasia looks at Dean then looks where Adam Banks left.

Connie snickers.

Great thanks Averman Anastasia rolls her eyes and gets up trying to catch up with Banks.
Anastasia catches up to him grabbing his hand and tried to turn him around.

Adam I'm sorry.
Yeah well sorry doesn't cut it. He looks at Anastasia while snatching his hand away from her. When I said I was fine with you playing seven minutes in heaven with Portman I didn't think you would come back with a hickey.

Anastasia looks down it's n...
Don't even try to tell me it was nothing when the evidence is on your neck.

Anastasia stays silent taking Banks' hand. I'm sorry I.. Banks pulls his hand away again as a tear slides down Anastasia's face. She begins to rub circles on her hand.

You tell me you like me and then you make out with Portman. Now, it all makes sense thats why you let go of my hand earlier. It wasn't that you weren't ready it's that you didn't want him.... He points in the direction of Portman.. to see.

I actually like you Banks. I never lied to you about that. I may not have told you about Portman but I didn't lie. Anger and sadness overcomes her looking at him I can like whoever I want.

Banks glares at Anastasia that doesn't work for me either you want him or you want me. You can't have both. And you better choose cause I won't wait forever, he says turning around to walk upstairs.

Ten seconds later a slam of the door echoes through the house.

Anastasia walks into the living room looking at Portman and then to the floor. She takes a breath looking at the Ducks as she hears Bitch come out of Connie's mouth.

What did you just fucking say Anastasia begins to pull up her hair into a bun as the anger inside her boils over. Dean gets up blocking her way.

You heard me I called you a two-faced bitch. Connie gets up as Luis and Guy stand. Way to break Banksie's heart. Julie and I told you this would happen if you weren't careful.

Anastasia had never been in a fight before but she was not gonna back down.

Get the fuck out of my way Dean, Anastasia snarls.

No, we aren't doing this right now. You need to calm down. Portman says looking at her.

Anastasia rolls her eyes and tries to side step him to get to Connie.

You're the bitch trying to act like you weren't supporting this before. Even Julie was there when I told you I had feelings for both of them. No, I'm done talkin Anastasia looks up get out of my way Dean.

No you need to calm down now he looks at Anastasia sternly and picks her up taking her outside.

Dean puts Anastasia down, she bee-lines it to the door feeling Dean pick her up again.

Let me go Dean, I'm not gonna let anyone just call me out my name.

No you are going to sit down and behave! Dean looks sternly at Ana. It's not gonna look any better if you try and fight Connie.

Fine Ana folds her arms sitting on the steps.

Can we just grab our stuff and leave Anastasia huffs.

The door swings open with Fulton, Russ, Julie, Luis with their stuff and Ana and Dean's bags.

Fulton looks at Ana, we may not agree with you flirting with Portman and Banks but Connie had no right to call you a bitch. Her, Banks, and Charlie are best friends so she's pissed. We thought it was best half of us stay with Banks and Connie, and the others go back to the dorms with you and Portman.

Sounds good thanks guys. They begin to walk back to their dorms.

Oh shit Anastasia quickly pulls out her phone.
What? The Ducks stop and look at her.
I forgot to text my dad about staying over.

Hi dad, Im sorry I forgot
to text you. I got invited
to sleepover with Julie Gaffney.

Dad:
That's okay honey have a
good time and no boys.

Okay it's all good now. Told him I'll be over Julie's. He's fine with me staying over.

The ducks begin the walk back to Eden Hall as Dean protectively holds her hand.
