Belle's Pov.

I hurry towards the the empty classroom that no one uses. As I open the door I step in to see Sydney sitting ontop of the empty desk.

Her usually mini skirt that shows off her smooth brown legs. Her hair straight and not in her kinky curls I love. She never wears her natural hair at school no matter how many times I suggest her too. She hides behind this facade, like it's her armor.

She smiles at me before hopping off the desk. Strutting over too me. I stand back keeping our distance. Because even though I usually love to see the sight of her. I am still angry about our fight over break.

She seems to think I will get over it like I have in the past, but I won't contine to live my life in the closet just for an ounce of her love and attention.

I can't do this anymore it's not me.

She comes into my space, her usually smell of Jasmine and vanilla intoxicating. My hands ache to place them around her hips and pull her closer to me.

Yet I refrain, "I thought you would never come." She smiles seductively at me before placing little kisses along my neck.

I could feel my nipples pebbling into buds at her body so close to me.

But I push her away. "Syd stop. I told you I can't do this anymore."

She huffs with annoyance, as she places her hands on her hips. "Really, this again. I told you I will eventually. I just can't right now. "

I roll my eyes, "Yeah because of your mom. So you say. You have been saying that since the beginning of the year. We have been messing around for almost five months. I had to watch you play straight with Sin might I add who is like my brother."

She glares at me, the tension in the room now thick with anger.

"Isabelle, you have to undestand."

I shake my head refusing to listen. She always gets me to see her side of things until I cave. Then I will be back where I was. Aching for her to love me like I do her. While also hating the fact I gave into her.

"No, you have to undestand. It kills me to see you with other guys. What if you saw me with other girls."

Her eyes flare with jealous just as I thought it would. "You wouldn't dare."

"Try me." I state.

She sighs, while biting her glossy lip lost in thought.

"Stevie knows about us. She saw on Halloween. And guess what she doesn't care. Know one cares, but you."

Her brown eyes snap to mind, jealous and anger at the mention of Stevie.

"Well if Stevie doesn't care then it must be alright." She seethes out.

Her hatred towards my friends hasn't gone unnoticed by me, but I kind of understood why Sydney seem so jealous of Stevie.

"Say what you want, but she doesn't have anything to do with this. I know you told Chad and Trenton to do that to her locker. She has done nothing to you."

She smirks, before shrugging. "I didn't tell them to do anything. All I said is what I was told." She shoots an accusing glare at me.

Yes, I told Sydney about Stevie, but it was under complete confidence about my friends unsual relationship. I didn't know Sydney would blab to everyone about it.

"I told you that in secret. I have all your secrets as well." I threaten.

Her eyes widen in surpise as I threaten to tell everyone about her. I love her I would never wish to be the one to ruin her, but she has taken her jealous towards Stevie to far.

"So this is it then, you would take her side over mine." Her voice breaking slightly before she controls the wavering.

Her head up high, while looking at me. Her eyes glassy, but no unshed tears.

My eyes soften because I don't want to hurt her, but I can't sacrifice my happiness to appease hers in secret anymore.

"I am not taking her side. I am taking mine. You are only jealous of her because she is herself truly. You both are from Agusto yet you lie and say you are from here. You hide who you are behind a a group of people who wouldn't care if you lived or died. Titles aren't everything Sydney and I can't be your secret anymore." My tone steady, but my heart breaking.

A small tear trails down her face before she quickly wipes it away.

"Please, don't leave me." She begs. The first time I have ever seen her break. I walk slowly towards her. Placing a small kiss on her forehead.

"I'm not leaving you. I'm still here, but I can't play apart of this lie anymore."

Before I leave to small classroom, that we spent many times skipping class to hook up in I watch as she seemed so lost and broken. I just wish I didn't have to be the one to do it for her to finally open up to me.

"Find out who you want to be Syd, because I know this isn't you."

I step out of the classroom my heart heavy, but my shoulders stress free.
