I allowed Stephanie inside and she quickly wrapped her arms around me, I calmly spoke, "Hey, it's okay. What happened?." "Well..." She trailed off as she noticed Bryce in my living room, she stormed past me and walked up to him, "Of course you'd run right to Cherry," he apologetically spoke, "Stephanie, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to," "Yes you did! You purposely did it," "I had to! You don't understand," "You made it look like I cheated on my boyfriend." I spoke up, "Guys! What happened?" Stephanie quickly spoke, "He kissed me! And Nancy took a picture and showed Steve," "He what?!?." Bryce looked at me sadly, "Cherry, I didn't want to...but I had to," "What does that even mean?" "Nancy was gonna black mail me if I didn't do it," "How was she gonna black mail you?" "Look that doesn't matter-," "Yes it does! I can't believe you would do something so stupid and immature, do you realize that you just ruined Stephanie's relationship? She loves him Bryce!" "I didn't ruin it, my sister did," "You helped her! How could you help your platonic evil sister do something like that?" "What about you Cherry? Your best friends with her," "We both know that's not true," "So what? You were just fake friends with my sister?" "That's not the point Bryce," "She knows Cherry, she will do anything and everything to get back at you," "And I will fight it! She doesn't just get to come to Tulsa and steal one of my friend's boyfriends, so yeah. Maybe I fake friended her to put an end to her evil plan of taking Steve away from Steph, but it's not even half as bad as what you did."

I sat on the front porch of the Curtis's house with a cold sad feeling upon me. I didn't know what to believe, in my mind...my Stephanie Curtis would never kiss another boy...but in reality, she did, and there was a Polaroid of it. The screen door opened and Nancy stepped out, she had a giant bruise forming on her cheek from where Stephanie had hit her. I sighed, "I'm sorry about what Steph did, she's...never violent," "She was just upset, because I revealed her secret," "Her secret?" "The fact that she's been cheating on you with my brother since she got here," "W-what?." She put her arm around me and softly spoke, "You know all those times she said she was busy? That was her excuse for her to go see Bryce," "T-that can't be true, she loves me," "If she loved you, she wouldn't be two timing you." I sadly put my head down, Nancy looked at me, "Hey, she's not worth it. You can do so much better than Stephanie," "I don't think you understand Nancy, Stephanie...is my life, I would do anything for her," "Find someone else to love...like me," "What? You're my best friend's girlfriend," "That may be...but I love you Steve." Nancy quickly pulled me close to her and kissed me, I immediately pulled away and looked at her exasperated, "What the hell?! You have a boyfriend!" "But I love you Steve! I do, I've loved you since the first day I laid my eyes on you," "Nancy...I don't and never will love you, I love Stephanie and only Stephanie...I'm sorry, but you need to stay away from me."

While Steve was outside, Nancy went out to check on him. I pulled Ponyboy and Johnny out of earshot from everyone else, "Guys, we need to do something. We all know that Nancy coaxed a plan with Bryce to make it look like Stephanie cheated," Ponyboy sadly spoke, "Yeah, and nobody else is going to believe it because Nancy is such a suck up." Johnny scoffed, "I say we just call her out for who she is," "You saw Stephanie do that, and nothing changed! Sodapop is still heavily convinced that Nancy is basically Jesus Christ," "Well, we gotta un-convince him," "And how do you plan on doing that?" "I actually...have an idea."

2:45 pm

Cherry made me leave her house, and I didn't blame her. What I did to Stephanie was cruel, and I knew it was wrong...but I couldn't take the chance of my sister exposing me. As I walked throughout town with my hands in my pockets, I couldn't help but wonder, why is Nancy the way she is? My thoughts were disturbed when 3 figures stepped in front of me, Ponyboy, Johnny, and Kylee. I sighed, "Look if you're coming here to yell at me, I don't wanna hear it," Kylee glared, "What you did was fucking cruel, do you understand that?" "Of course I do, but I had to do it." Ponyboy scoffed, "Had to? You ruined my sister's life you moron," "Look, for some reason my sister has...pictures of me that I am not trying to have anyone else see. She said that if I didn't help her with her plan, she was gonna show everyone." Johnny confusedly spoke, "What kind of pictures?." Kylee shushed him, "Not now Johnny, now listen here Bryce. Your gonna help us, your gonna get your sister to confess about what she did and your going to guarantee me that  you will make sure Steph and Steve get back together, understand?" "And how on earth do you expect me to do any of that?" "Find a way, or else you and Cherry will never happen," "Well, we won't anyways. I went over and told her what happened and she's furious," "As she should be, but hear me out...she will forgive you if you do the right thing, which is making ur bitch sister confess." I looked between all 3 of them and sighed, "Okay, I will do everything in my power to get my sister to confess, even if that means I have to destroy my own twin sister."
