~Four months later

It's now August, so Alaina, Antonio, Jewel and Ben have moved to LSU. Jewel and Antonio have become close friends, but Ben doesn't know that. He doesn't even know she's at LSU. Jewel and Alaina are at the Nupes back to school bash. They are standing to the side of the dance floor, having a dumb argument. (Their outfits are in the external link.)

Alaina: I told you to wear something sexy.

Jewel: Bitch I am sexy.

Alaina: No bitch you look like death.

Jewel: Your shirt says hello my name is Barbie, but you look like Bozo the Clown.

Alaina: Patty caking ass bitching.

Jewel: Scally wagging ass hoe.

The girls stared each other down until Feelin' Myself came on. (Play the video at the top.) Alaina grabbed Jewel's hand and pulled her to the middle of the dance floor. The girls started dancing and grinding together. Soon, a crowd formed around them, so they decided to give them a show.  Alaina bent over and started twerking on Jewel while Jewel held on to her waist. The girls were going at it until Jewel and Alaina were separated. Jewel looked up to see Antonio and Jewel smirking at her.

Jewel: Why are y'all smirking at me like that?

Alaina: Don't worry about it, just keep dancing.

Jewel furrowed her brows together. She knew they were up to something, but she forgot about that when her part came on.

Kitty on peak, pretty on fleek

Pretty gang, always keep them niggas on geek

Ridin' through Texas, feed 'em for his breakfast

Every time I whip it, I be talkin' so reckless

He said, "Damn, Nicki, it's tight, " I say, "Yeah, nigga, you right."

He say, "Damn, bae, you so little, but you be really takin' that pipe."

I say, "Yes, daddy, I do, gimme brain like NYU."

I said, "Teach me, nigga, teach me. All this learnin' here is by you."

Jewel started dancing again while Antonio and Alaina watched someone come up behind her. The person grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. She immediately stopped dancing and turned around to see who was on her. She was prepared to curse the person out, but when she saw Ben nothing came out of her mouth. Jewel looked over to where Nana and Tone were standing, but they were no longer there.

Ben: How come you didn't tell me you were coming to LSU?

Jewel: We're not friends, so I didn't feel like I was obligated to tell you anything. We were really close, but you just stopped talking to me.

Ben: Look Jewel, I'm sorry about that, but I miss how things used to be. Please forgive me so we can go back to how it was.

Jewel thought about it while looking into his brown eyes. She finally accepted the fact that she liked him. She hid her feelings very well, but being around him would only make them show.

Jewel: I forgive you, but we can't go back to how things used to be.

Ben: Come on Jay bae you know you miss me.

Ben winked at her and she laughed. He called her by the name he made for her when they were cool. Jewel gave in and sighed.

Jewel: Ok Ben 10

Ben: Did you just make that up?

Jewel: Yep

They laughed and went to look for Alaina and Antonio or Alonio as Ben called them. When they found them, Alaina just had to say something.

Alaina: Hey love birds.

Jewel: Wassup Alonio.

Alaina: Ooo I like that. But anyways, are y'all together?

Ben: Not yet.

Jewel: Not ever.

Ben laughed and looked at Jewel.

Alaina: Um JD since we share a room and Ben and Tone share a room, we wanted to know if you can sleep in their room with Ben tonight.

Jewel shook her head at the two.

Jewel: Y'all are the freakiest couple I know. If Ben 10 doesn't mind, then I don't mind.

Ben: I don't mind Jay bae.

Antonio looked at Jewel, remembering what we told her months ago. She knew what that look meant. I told you so.

Jewel: I need to get some stuff from our room. I have a class at 8 and then I'll be free the rest of the day.

Alaina: Don't worry I packed a bag for you. There's clothes, shoes, toiletries, books etc. Everything you need is in there. It's in Tone's car.

Jewel: You had this all planned out huh? What if I had said no?

Alaina: I knew you wouldn't say no because you love me too much.

Jewel couldn't help but laugh at her friend. Alaina was a trip. They left the house and went to Ben and Tone's cars, which were side by side. Tone grabbed the duffel bag and gave it to Ben so he could put it in his car.

Ben: Y'all better use protection because I'm too young to be an uncle.

The couple laughed and got in the car and drove off. Jewel reached for the door handle, but Ben slapped her hand away. He opened her door and she climbed into his Escalade. She buckled up while Ben got in. The thought of her being in a room alone with Ben made Jewel nervous. She was worried he would figure out that she likes him. Jewel's last relationship was a disaster. All her boyfriend did was play games and toy with her heart. After that she built a wall around her heart so nobody could get in. Jewel bit down on her lip while she continued to think. When they got to his room, Ben grabbed her bag and led her inside. He sat on his bed and said four words everyone dreads hearing.

Ben: We need to talk.
