⤷ For as long as they could remember, Brooke and Ryland had hated each other to the very limit. No matter what it came to - sports, tests, social lifestyles - anything the other did gave them a bad taste in their mouths.

GREEK TRAGEDY :: vii. | it lights my fire
It had been two weeks since the college party incident and Ashely was much better. Everything was back to normal, Brooke and Ryland hating each other but just a little less considering what happened. Jake and Ryland were reconnecting, Ashely and Lucas were back to talking, and Chad was finally working up the nerve to talk to Peyton.
Ryland and Ashely were both at their lockers, next to each other when someone was sneakily approaching them.
"I heard someone got roofied?"
The girls both turned at the sound of his voice.
"Jay!" Ryland exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him.
Ashely wrapped her arms around him as well, getting in on the group hug. They all soon pulled away and just glanced at one another.
Ashely spoke up, "How was it visiting the family?"
He simply shrugged, "Oh, you know, family is family." His tone quickly switched, "But like seriously, who got roofied?"
Ashely slowly rose her hand in embarrassment, "Me."
He cupped her face, "My poor Angel."
Nobody noticed luke and Chad approaching them when their backs were turned. Chad tapped jay's shoulder, resulting him into turning around. A smile spread across jay's lips when he saw Chad's face.
The two guys hugged each other with a pat on their backs. After they broke away, Jay passed Lucas a slight head nod. Lucas returned it before going on his way and leaving Chad with the rest of the group.
Jay swung his arm around Ashely and ryland's shoulders, beginning to head to class with Chad following behind. They were all happy to be reunited. Jay was like the glue of their small group — Chad, Ashely, Ryland, Haley, Lucas, and Alexa. They all been really good friends since the beginning and more for others. However, there was one rule in that friend group and that was to not date each other or another person's crush. Obviously, there were already three breaking that rule but no one really knew it except Ryland.

The school day quickly wrapped on that Friday. Everyone were rushing out of the classrooms. Some just left, others were at their lockers. It was a normal Friday, nothing too exciting happening in Tree Hill that afternoon. That's if you count the redoing of Peyton's room and maybe Ryland seeing Jenny for the first time.
