Sorry it's kind of short! -Caitlyn (Niam'sSuperhuman)


I hoofed it home just as i said i would, God, i really dislike him. Why is he so weird? And moody? I wonder if he takes medication. Wouldn't surprise me. He's a strange one. I locked the door behind me and headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water, It's hotter than a bitch out there. I kicked off my sandals and went into the living room to watch TV. I flipped through the channels not seeing anything i like until i saw one of my favorite movies, Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, When Nature Calls. This movie always makes me laugh and that's what i need right now. I was about 15 minutes into the movie when my phone rang. It was Bayleigh.

"Heyyy." I answered.

"Hey what happened with you and Tristan?" She questioned.

I frowned, "How'd you know about that?"

"Tristan is here at the bar swearing up a storm about how you flipped out on him after lunch. So Chris and Joey are trying to calm him down."

I stood up from the couch, a little too fast as i got light headed. "What the actual hell?! He is the one who started it Bay! He ignored me the whole time at lunch so i went and sat with some random guy, we actually got along and he gave me his phone number. And then Tristan was all like "I don't like him, I don't trust him." I said mocking Tristan's voice.

I heard Bayleigh Sigh, "Well whatever happened has got him heated up Soph."

"You said that like you don't believe me." I answered.

"Its not that i don't believe you, it's just Tristan is telling a different story."

My jaw dropped to the floor, "What?!"

"Yeah, he said that as soon as you two got to lunch you bailed on him and sat with some other guy, and was all over him."

My temper was at 100, i was done. "I'm coming over." I hung up before she could say anything else. I put my sandals back on and grabbed the keys to the car.

I pulled up, and slammed the car door shut. Joey was standing outside on his phone.

He looked surprised to see me. "Uh hey i need to call you back." And he hung up his phone and stood in front of me, "Whoa, hold up there angry pants. And put his hands on my shoulders.

"Joey move out of the way now." I growled.

"Not until you calm down." He answered.

"Don't make me hurt you Joey, my beef is not with you. It's with that stupid, lying, son of a cocks-"

"Whoa okay, I get it. But we can't have two mad ass people in the same room."

"Jesus, he has no reason to be mad! He's been lying to you guys about what really happened!" I yelled, throwing my hands in the air.

"Well it doesn't matter what really happened, you guys are toxic to each other. So it's best to stay away from one another."

I crossed my arms, "Not until i confront the little bast-"

"Okay i get it, stop swearing it's weird hearing it from you." He interrupted again.

"Joey please move."

He stood there watching my face for awhile. And finally stepped aside, but before i could move he grabbed my arm, "Be careful what you say to him Sophia, he lets his anger get the best of him." He then let go of my arm.

I marched through the doors, the first person i saw was Bayleigh, she was sitting at the bar talking to Ryan while holding some sort of drink. Both of their eyes ended up on my face. Bayleigh stood up from her stool, and Ryan walked around the the counter.

"Sophia, not a good time." Ryan spoke up.

I grabbed whatever Bayleigh was drinking from her hand and downed it in one gulp. It was Dr. Pepper. I was not expecting that. But i gave the glass back to her.

"What are you going to say?" Bayleigh asked.

I slammed the car keys onto the counter, "Whatever the hell I want to. I am so sick of-" But before i could finish my sentence Chris walked around the corner from the bathrooms and into my view, he stopped dead in his tracks, his mouth agape. But before he could say or do anything I glared and walked over to him.

"Where is Tristan? We have some bullshit to discuss." I could just feel my blood boiling by the second.

"Sophia, please just calm down, whatever happened between you two I'm sure was a misunderstanding and can easily be fixed without violence or yelling. Just discuss it like adults."

"It was no misunderstanding Chris, he flat out lied to all of you about what happened and I want to know why."

Chris sighed, "Well if you can talk to him calmly and as an adult I'll allow it."

I rolled my eyes, "I'm not a child, so please don't speak to me as if i am one."

Chris crossed his arms and took a step closer to me, "Well seeing as I practically raised Tristan, he's like my little brother and i know everything he went through growing up. I've seen what he is capable of doing when his temper gets the best of him. I'm only looking out for you."

I just stood there unsure of what to say, I sighed, "Okay, fine, I'll talk nicely to him."

Chris just raised his eyebrows at me, "Really?"

"Yes, I promise." I looked at the ground.

He uncrossed his arms and held out his pinky, "Pinky promise?"

I cracked a smile, "Yes, pinky promise." And wrapped my pink around his. "Now where is he?"

"In the bathroom." And he walked over to the bar.

I took a deep breath and walked to the door marked 'Mens'.
