Jackson's POV

"Snow, I need to talk to you." Luke says when we walk to PE, "What's up Rain?" I ask him.

He looks serious, like he knows something or wants to know something. "I need your help." Okay, now I'm getting serious.

"What do you need?"

"It's Summer. She's hiding something, I know it. It has something to do with the name Ice." I look at him, he's worried. I should've known, he wants to find out so he can help her.

"I saw something. You remember the first day we met Leah and Summer's friends?" He nods before I continue.

"Whenever we had first asked who Ice was, Darkness had yelled at Spring for mentioning it and Spring was about to say a name other than summer, she changed it at the last second.

But she didn't get rid of half the name of the first one she was originally going to put down, almost like she wanted to tell us something. Like she wanted us to know the truth of something."

He looks shocked that I remembered, "What was the first part of the name?"

"It sounded like Crys but if she was talking about a girl aka Summer then it can't be that, maybe Crystal?"

We both went quiet, it wasn't until the bell rang that Luke had suggested we skip the rest of the day.

"Jackson.. the meaning of the name Crystal is Ice. I heard Leah call Summer Ice once." Luke says when we get to his car.

He starts driving to Summer's house once school ends for the girls, her car is already there.

We get out of the car and knock on her door.

Luke's POV

We get out of the car and knock on her door, I can't believe she kept something from us. Who is Crystal?

"One second!" We hear Summer call from inside the house, she finally opens the door and I blush.

She's wearing a sports bra and biker shorts with her hair in pigtails. Me being the protective boyfriend I am, take my hoodie off and push it in her hands.

"What are you doing by answering the door dressed like that?" I say with jealousy, watching as she laughs and puts my hoodie on.

It's too big for her, she looks so cute. Wait- I'm getting off track, "We need to talk to you." I say seriously making her nervous.

"Oh, um, okay. Let's talk in my room." She says, leading us to her room. There's music playing from it.

When we walk in, there are plants and flowers everywhere. There's also so much sunlight.

"So what's up guys?" She asks, closing the book she was probably reading and sitting on the bed.

Jackson takes her desk chair and sits down while I sit down on the bench underneath her window, I can't believe I've never been to her house before.

"Who is Crystal?" I ask quickly, unsure if she heard me.

She's quiet. Too quiet. "Summer, Who. Is. Crystal." I say slower.

"How do you know that name?" She says quietly.

Summer's POV

He knows. He knows. He cannot know. No way. No way. No. No. No. No.

"Summer, Who. Is. Crystal." Luke says slower.

No. No. No. No. "How do you know that name?" I say softly.

"Ice is the meaning of Crystal, Spring almost said Crystal, so I ask again who is Crystal?"

Spring. Crystal. Ice. He knows. "Me." I mumble, he looks confused.

"What did you say?" Jackson asks.

"Me! Crystal is me!" Luke looks at me weirdly, "What do you mean by that?"

I look down, tears threatening to fall from my eyes, "My real name is Crystal Flores. My real nickname is Ice."

I grab my phone and start calling someone, "I'll give you proof." Angel, CJ, and Avi answers.

"Sup Ice."

"Hiya Crissy! What's up?"

"Hey Icicle."

I force a smile real quick so they don't worry, "What's my full name, how did we meet, and what did I do to make me change my name?"

"Oo! Me first! Your full name is Crystal Flores, we met in 6th grade and during lunch. You accidentally hurt someone and left to protect everyone" Avi said.

Angel pops up next, "Well full name is Crystal Flores, we met in 6th grade by Leah sitting with me and you following her, and what Spring said.

"Guess it's my turn, Your name is Crystal Flores, 6th grade when you were dating Jacobi and what Spring said."

I smile again, "Thanks guys, I'll talk to you all later."

We hang up and I look at Luke and Jackson who are still surprised, Luke finally gets up and hugs me.

"Thank you for telling us." Luke says into my hair, I smile when he pulls away.

"No problem. Let me know if you want to know anything else about the past."

... They know the truth now. Someone knows the truth. People know the truth. Or at least what they thought was the full truth.
