Jace's POV
"Fine Jace." Ellie said moving my hand and buttoning her pants back up. I don't know what came over me but shit I couldn't help myself and If I don't know shit I know how to get a female to listen to what I'm saying. I looked around the class to see if anyone caught what was going on.
Of course I look in Amber's direction and she's staring right at me. I've never seen that girl look so mad it look like she had steam coming out her eyes fuck the ears. I shot her a look and sucked the tip of each finger and mouthed "Delicious." Wasn't even shit on my hand though she had on like a full body shirt, I think they call that shit a bodysuit. This bitch needs to just get over herself. I don't want her.
I went back to paying attention to the teacher for the rest of the class or at least attempting to, I wanted to take Ellie to my car and get in the backseat if I'm being honest. But, I could tell by how she reacted that she wasn't used to being touched like that which was weird cause she was previously a stripper.
Before I knew it the bell rang, hell I don't even know what today's lesson was even remotely about. I got up and grabbed my things. "You gone let me walk you to class shorty?" I said holding my hand out to Ellie. Hell I'm single I'm bout to do my big one.
"Nope. Just cause I said I'll let you make it up to me doesn't mean I'm not still mad." She said rolling her eyes, grabbing her things , and heading out. She must want the chase. I followed behind her. "Ellie, can you at least tell me what I did so I can properly apologize."
"Later." Ellie said, walking into the class leaving me in the hall. I didn't even respond, I just started making my way to my second period. I had second period with Nick and since the party shit was definitely weird as fuck. I left the group chat , I didn't walk with the whole group no more, Practice we can't even communicate on court I want to throw the ball at the nigga dick honestly fuck up his kid maker.

NEXT WEEK THURSDAY
"Jace Let me Talk to you and Nick before we load up for the bus." Coach said, leading both Nick and I away from the team. It was finally time for the overnight trip, everyone was packed up and although the coach said we were to go to first period none of us did. we stayed our asses right in that gym til after.
Ellie was still half way ignoring me. I was only getting a Hi, Hello, Goodmorning, And bye from her. I was still blocked and all. So I just decided I'll wait till she's ready to talk because I don't wanna be no tender ass nigga. I was tender about Crystal at some point but I really never had to Chase the girl.
"So. I'm just going to act like I didn't see that video of y'all arguing about who's having sex with who and tell y'all . Do not let a female break up the group. Y'all need to either talk the shit out or drop it while on court." Coach said giving us both a disappointed look.
"Coach with all Respect. And excuse my language. Fuck Him. He got my first real Girlfriend and my best friend pregnant. Ain't no coming back from that I'll drop it while on court . But honestly be glad I ain't beat this nigga up yet." I said locking eyes with Nick . This nigga gone know I'm not no pussy nor the one to fuck with.
"And with all due respect Coach I don't even regret it Imma take care of mine regardless." Nick said sizing me up then walking away. It took me everything in my power not to cut this nigga lights out.
"Wow." Coach said walking back to the bus.
"Just... Wow."
I got on the bus and the first thing I noticed was Nick sitting by Ellie looking up at me smiling. I think this nigga think I'm playing. I walked to the seat Ellie and Nick were sitting in and the whole bus got quiet and directed their attention to us. Coach on the other hand was saying bye to his wife and kids.
"You sure?" I said, questioning them both. I don't care who gets up but somebody gone have to make their way to another seat or I'm definitely finna turn this bitch up. I stared at them in silence while they returned the look. Ellie looked compelled as if she didn't know what to do in this situation. I dropped my bag in the aisle.
It seemed as soon as I did that Ellie stood up. "I'll move." She said getting up, stepping over Nick's legs and into the aisle. I went and took my seat towards the back quickly putting my headphones in. Everything and everyone was blowing me .
I'm to a point where I'm finna just leave Ellie ass the fuck alone cause I'm chasing her more then I chase the ball at this point. I just don't want her with Nick he gone fuck up her mental. Ellie moved to the seat across mine. She put her legs up in the seat and a blanket over her head. I hope she was good. She probably felt like the monkey in the middle.
I zoned out the rest of the trip.

Ellie's POV
Jace these last few days he was so different towards Nick and I didn't know why everyone was acting like his new aggression towards him was normal. I felt as if there was something that I didn't know that everyone did. I sat underneath my blanket as a signal to leave me alone and because I was anemic I'm cold hell. I felt the seat weigh down as if someone sat down next to me. I took my blanket off my head taking a peek. "Hey Bestie, You okay?" CJ asked, talking low I'm guessing so no one heard him. I nodded in response. "I don't know if they fighting over you or fighting over Nick fucking Crystal but I really wish you weren't in the middle." He said, causing me to choke. "You said he did what?" I said a little loud, causing the coaches to look back. I'm Sorry." I said quickly apologizing I'm glad everyone else had they're headphones in.
"You didn't know?"
"Bitch obviously not." I said. That's probably why he was so standoffish. "Ellie. Where have you been? The night of the party Nick announced that shit and the video is all over the school." He said, looking at me. I was definitly not the biggest social media person. The only people I had on social media from the school was the small group and none of them posted it.
"Yeah no. I didn't see it, and I left the party early, remember?" I said now looking at Jace. He looked like those sad men in the 90s music videos staring out the window. CJ nodded. "Yeah he ain't been himself at all." He said, turning his attention towards him. He didn't even feel us looking at him. I got up and slid past CJ and into his seat.
He turned his attention to me. "You okay?" I asked, laying my head on his shoulder. I felt so bad. I've been such a bitch to him lately, yeah I feel like it was valid to be mad, but if I knew he was going through some shit like this I definitly would've put my bullshit to the side. "Yeah I'm cool. You ight." He said laying his head on top of mine.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I should've put the bullshit aside. I didn't know you were going through shit with Nick and your girlfriend." I said looking at the back of the next seat rubbing his arm. "My ex. And yeah I'm good though it ain't my baby so I don't have to live with the hatred of my baby mama." he said with a dry tone. I knew he didn't hate her, he just hated what she did.
--------------------------------------
AN: Goodmorning as I promised, This will be the calm before the storm Imma try to spit one more out. But I have questions that need answers.
Do y'all want Crystal to disappear for a bit?
Do y'all want a Nick POV about the situation?
Do Y'all want the other memebers to have more to do with the story if so who exactly do y'all wanna see more of?
