~Clementine's POV~
-Wednesday

I wake up and get dressed. I wear a gray tank top and a knit white sweater over it. I wear dark blue jeans and put on gray knit boot socks. I redo my high ponytail and put a white bow on it.

I nudge Nicole so she can wake up.

She gets dressed and I put on the same amount of makeup which is a little amount. I grab my white/tan Ugg boots and walk downstairs.

I grab an apple from the fridge when I get a text from Tristan saying...

"Good morning beautiful."

I smile at my phone.

Nicole comes tramping down the stairs.

"You ready?" She says.

"Sure, let me just get my boots on."

I put my boots on twirling in a circle like a complete idiot. Nicole laughs at me.

"We can take my car today." She continues to laugh.

"Ok." I say still struggling.

"Why don't I just sit down. It would make this so much easier."

When I finally get them on we walk out the door.

When we get to school Nicole goes straight to her locker so I head to mine.

I'm walking to my locker when...

*slam*

I turn my head to see Ashton slamming Tristan over and over again. I bolt towards them.

As I'm running to them Tristan pushes him off.

"What is wrong with you man!" I hear Tristan yell.

I see Tristan push Ashton off.

"What the heck is wrong with you two?!" I scream.

"I'm sorry Clementine. I didn-" I interrupt Tristan.

"No. I want to hear it from him." I snarl.

"Did he kiss you?" Ashton asks in anger.

"Wh-" I pause and shut my eyes.

"Why does it matter?" I open my eyes.

"You did! Didn't you?!" He yells in my face.

"Ashton. What is wrong with you?" I snap.

"Nothing. My question is why did you kiss him?" He says more calm.

"Maybe... Maybe because I like him. Is that okay? Am I allowed to like someone else?!" I say.

"As long as it's okay if I can do this." He growls and pushes me against the lockers.

He gives Tristan a dirty look before kissing me.

He looses his grasp and walks away in irritation.

I stand there in anger.

"Why did I let him kiss me? Why didn't I push him away or something."

I walk to Tristan putting my hands on his shoulders.

"Hey are you oka-"

"I understand that you may still like him. But..." He sighs.

"I know. I'm sorry. I screwed up. I should've pushed him away. I guess it just happened all to fast." I pull my hands away.

"Well, doesn't everything?" I hear the hurt in his voice.
