Sell Me Out (a 5SOS Fanfic)

16: Storytelling and A Group Divided

BREE'S POV
"Bitch I'm fabulous!" I boasted, flicking my ponytail with my right hand.
Zoe started laughing at me, "Pfffft yeah sure, whatever you say Bree." She said while patting my head like a dog.
I gasped, still being dramatic.
"How dare you?! I am amazing!" And another hair flick from my fabulous self.
"Ok ok! I'm sorry, Queen Bree, your fabulousness." She plays along by doing a little curtsy.
That's when I noticed it.
"Zoe?" She stopped curtsying and looked at me, still laughing. "Your parents had a huge fight yesterday, right?"
She nodded cheerily.
"Ok, so... Why are you so happy? I mean, if I were you, I probably wouldn't have come to school today." I admitted, "Let alone be this happy and smiley!"
She suddenly went bright red, and tucked her hair behind her ear, looking down at her black vans.
"I don't know, I guess I'm embracing the situation." She mumbled, trying to cover up the fact that she was now giggling like a 4 year old.
"Uh huh. Sure." I replied skeptically. "So where did you go yesterday? Because I'm pretty sure you didn't go to Jade's." I asked.
She turned an even brighter shade of red.
"Oh. My. GOD!!!" I did my best impression of Janice from Friends, causing Zoe to cover her face with her hands because she knew that I'd figured out why she was so chirpy.
"What happened? Tell me absolutely everything!" I kept pestering her until we were nearly at the table. And she finally cracked.
"We kissed." She abruptly blurted out.
I immediately stopped dead in my tracks, and slowly turned to face my best friend. She was standing there with her bright eyes looking straight at me, waiting for my response.
"Are you serious?" I started with.
She nodded slowly.
Before I knew what I was doing I jumped up and down for a bit before jumping into a hug.
"Awwww Zoe! You're all grown up!" I cooed.
"Dude I'm a month younger than you." She replied, irritated that I'd implied she was little.
"Yeah I know, sorry..." I apologised, "But tell me everything! Well maybe skip the whole kissing bit, you don't have to go into detail with that." I shuddered jokingly, causing her to punch me lightly in the arm.
"Oh shut up you." She laughed.
I waved my hand signalling her to start her story.
She nodded again, "Right! Well, it started with some Vegemite..."

When Zoe finished her adorable story that turned out gross because yuck! I don't need to know what happened in the kiss! Ew!
Well anyway, she finished her story and we walked the last 20 or so metres to the table where we were met by Ashton, Michael and Calum.
Luke and Jade were nowhere to be seen.
"Hey guys!" Ashton greets us, looking up from what looks like an intense conversation.
"Sup bitches!" Zoe responds cheerily.
Michael and Ashton look at her strangely.
"Uh, what's got you so happy?" Mikey asks, looking kind of scared.
Zoe blushed once again before mumbling a small 'nothing'.
I raised my eyebrows in shock, "Wait, he didn't tell you guys?!" I ask, receiving more blank looks from Ash and Mikey.
"Ooooooh this is brilliant!" And I take a seat between the two of them, leaving Zoe room to sit next to Calum.
"Soooooo...? You gonna tell them? Or should I do it?" I tease getting excited.
Calum and Zoe sigh in unison both looking embarrassed.
"Oh alright I'll tell them!" I announce, "Our two lovebirds here kissed this morning." I explain to the still very confused boys on either side of me.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh." They both say, cheeky grins creeping onto their faces.
Michael, who is on my left, turns to Calum on his other side and says, "Soooo? Was there tongue action or-"
"Ok Michael stop talking." Calum interrupts him, and we all notice that Zoe has her head buried in Cal's shoulder.
"Zoe I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Wait are you? Laughing?" Michael asks astounded.
Zoe lifts her head up and her face is bright red from trying to hold her laughter in, but she gives up and just bursts into a fit of giggles.
"Sorry, it's just that I can't believe the first thing you say when you find out your friend just kissed a girl, is was there tongue action?"
Michael shrugs, "Well I want to know what happened. Like who actually kissed who, were you clothed..." He trailed off, letting Calum step in.
"Yes we were clothed, jeez." He says shaking his head in exasperation.
"And he kissed me." Zoe adds, pointing to Cal.
My phone buzzes in my pocket, so I fish it out and check it.
"And that's the end of story time I'm afraid." I tell the group.
Ashton looks at me confused, "Whyyyyy? I like story time." He whines.
I direct the next part to Zoe, "I just got a text from Jade. You probably did too, you just didn't notice because your phone is in your bag, and you're too busy holding hands with your boyfriend to care." I say, causing her to go bright red, yet again.
"She's- We're not- I'm not-" Calum tries to spit out.
"Ok don't hurt yourself Calum." Michael laughs at him.
I laugh along, shaking my head.
"As I was saying, we need to go." I tell Zoe.
She replies with a quick okay before letting go of Calum's hand to grab her bag and folder.
"Aw, not even a goodbye kiss for poor wittle Cal." Michael mocks.
So, Zoe being Zoe, turns around and kisses Calum right then and there. When they (finally) break apart, they're both smiling like massive idiots.
"Ok ok we get it, I wasn't being serious." Michael complains, making a disgusted face. The rest of us just laugh at him.
"Bye guys." I say, dragging Zoe along with me to where Jade said to meet her.

ZOE'S POV
"Soooo...?" Bree prompted, causing me to look at her blankly.
"What?" I ask confused.
"What was that back there with Calum?" She raised her eyebrows questioningly.
I tried to play it off with a simple, "What do you mean?"
But apparently she's smarter than that.
"I mean, you haven't had a serious boyfriend before, and now you're holding hands and just kissing him out of the blue! Zoe you can't tell me you don't at least think this is gonna go somewhere."
Damn. I hate when she has a good argument.
"Well it could..." I smiled shyly, just at the thought of having Cal as my boyfriend made me blush.
"But that's not the present issue!" I reminded her, "Where is Jade exactly?" I asked, just following Bree to somewhere unknown to me.
"Near the music rooms." She told me.
I came to an abrupt halt.
"The music rooms?!" I asked in shock, Bree nodded, "That's at the other side of the school!" I half shouted.
"Yeah...?" She replied, not seeing where I was going with this.
"Bree." I took a step closer to her and lowered my voice, "You don't find it the slightest bit strange, that Luke wasn't with the boys, and before we got there they seemed to be talking about something pretty serious, and now, Jade is at the other side of the school?!" I began to raise my voice out of worry.
It wasn't until I saw the shock register on Bree's face, that I knew I was right.
"Luke and Jade are avoiding each other."
