Chapter 8

POV London
Page 61.
After the party, Len has been acting so weird and no one has been really talking to me as much.  It's been a couple weeks and no one has really texted and is acting really dry towards me. About a couple months later after Clark's party, I noticed that Len had hung out with my friend group more often and sometimes me if I decided to join them but they don't ever really invite me to anything anymore. While walking, I noticed my friend group hanging out by the tree with Len. I walked over and waved hi but once they noticed me, they all started to get quiet. "Uh. Hey guys. What's up?" Len never really made much eye contact with me anymore and would look at anyone or thing she possibly could except me. "Hey babe, you want me to walk you to your next class?" I knew that babe was only a little friendly nickname Clark had for Len but it always got on my nerves.  "Uh no it's okay Clark. I'll just g-" I looked over to see some guy walking over towards Len. "Hey Darling, are you ready to go?" He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her head. I felt my blood run cold as I looked at them in shock. "Yeah, let's go babe. I'll see you guys later!" Babe?.. This can't be right. Is that her boyfriend? I'm so confused. I watched them walk away as the guy held onto her tightly.

I felt my fist tighten. I looked over at clark. "Who the hell was that?!" Clark glared at me with disappointment. "You still don't know. You know, you're one of my closest friends but what you did was shocking and let all of us down." I was so confused at that moment but I knew none of this was a joke from how sad everyone looked. "Can someone please just explain to me what's going on?! I don't understand. Ever since the party, you guys have been avoiding me, Len has also been avoiding me and hanging out with you guys more than anything, and now she has a boyfriend?! I'm so confused. Last time me and her talked, everything was going perfectly and she even admitted that she liked me!" They all started to get a bit confused and a bit worried. "London.. Do you really not know what you did?" Clark asked with concern. "No!!" I sigh heavily then put my hands over my face. I felt someone grab my wrists and slowly pulled them down off my face. I looked to see Vivian looking at me with such sorrow before asking, "do you remember.. What happened at the party right before Len left?" I raised an eyebrow while trying to refresh my memory. "Uhm. We separated when she went to walk out with her friends because they decided to leave and I went to get us some drinks and waited for her to come back but she never did."

She started to get even more confused and a bit upset as well. "What about in between those moments.?" I was a bit confused then sighed with sorrow as I remembered. "Silvia had come out of nowhere and pulled me to the side then-" "you guys kissed." Clark interrupted with hate. My eyes widened with disbelief and disgust. "God no! She kissed me then I had to push her off me. I made it VERY clear that I didn't like her and she ended up running away leaving in tears. Honestly... I didn't even feel bad that she cried because I was so annoyed after everything she had done because she thinks I'll fall in love with her. " I inhaled deeply before continuing. "After that, I went looking for Len but she was nowhere to be found. She was gone.." I frowned while looking down. I heard a sob then looked up at Vivian as she started to cry. "Hey hey.. Are you okay?" She shook her head no then hugged me tightly "We're so sorry! We thought you kissed her and Len had caught you and told us and w-we.." I smiled softly but on the inside I was heartbroken. Len saw Silvia kissing me and now she is with someone else.  "It's okay. I'm just glad you guys don't hate me anymore. I'm sorry that I made you think I hurt Len by getting with Silvia. I promise you; Silvia will no longer be a problem for any of us."

Slowly, one by one, everyone joined in and created a group hug and started laughing at how cheesy we were acting. The rest of the day, we all hung out every chance we got then had a sleepover at my place. After a while we all just lounged around in the living room.  I looked over at Clark as he was sitting upside down on the cough. He rested his arms along the butt cushions with his head hanging off the edge.  "Yo, guys.. You know that big exam coming up in like.. Two weeks?" He said as he shot his head up and rolled around to lay across the couch. Some said yes as others nodded in response. "Well... what if we throw a little celebration party after everyone finishes the exams? No one has been throwing any parties for like the past several months." He wasn't wrong but after the last party, I haven't been wanting to host or go to another party since all because of what happened. Now that I think about it, Len still thinks that I kissed Silvia. How am I going to tell her if all she does is avoid me and has a boyfriend now? Who even is this guy? How long has she known him? How long has shen been with him? Is she dating him to make me jealous or does she actually like him? So many questions running through my head and I only get more worried and scared of the future. I can't lose Len to some.. Street. Rat. "Hey uh. Clark.. So this guy that Len is with now. Who is he?" He glances at me before looking away with a smirk. "The name is Tom Marley. He's a junior here.. I think. Pretty sure he's been stalking Len since they met."
