A Hero's Other Half

Exposed

Troy was walking down the hall to meet up with his friends. He wondered why none of them met up with him all day. Even in between classes, they weren't around.

"What are we gonna do? We can't cover this up. She's literally right over there." Noah stated.

"I know.....let's jump her!" Jake suggested, ready to knock her out.

Noah and the girls looked at Jake. They knew Jake could just jump to a main decision, but that was a little violent.

"Okay, we know Selina's a jerk, but let's not hurt her alright? We're rangers, we protect people not hurt them." Emma stated.

She said the last part quietly for no one else to hear.

"Fine. Hey Gia-"

The boys and Emma noticed Gia had left. Fortunately, Emma knew where she was going.

"Oh no." Emma worried a little.

All three of them ran down the hall to catch up with Gia. It took a while when they spotted her. She was about to confront Selina herself.

"Uh oh, there's about to be a girl fight!" Jake shouted, ready to watch.

Noah and Emma turned around to Jake. They both had the "are you serious?" look on their faces. Jake just shrugged his shoulders. Noah and Emma turned back to the hallway.

"You know you've got a lot of nerve!" Gia shouted.

Selina turned around. She saw one of her boyfriend's friends and she was confused. Why did she come at her like that?

"For what?" Selina asked.

"Oh, d-d-don't play dumb missy. We just saw you kissing Eric outside the auditorium. Makes me sick!" Jake said coming from behind to help out Gia. In a funny way.

"Yeah, and you know what, Troy trusted you. He thought he could depend on you to be there for him. And he's always stuck up for you, even when your were wrong and this is how you repay him? That's so low!" Emma yelled at Selina.

"Yeah, way to show your loyalty!" Noah chipped in.

A crowd was forming around the five. Troy saw some people heading down to that same area. He followed, just to make sure nothing serious was going on.

"Okay look, I don't have a clue what your talking about. Your making it sound like I cheated." Selina replied.

"You did cheat." Noah said.

Selina raised an eyebrow.

"What? Why would I do that?" She implied.

"That's what we want to know." Emma said.

Selina shook her head.

"Okay, you guys are crazy." Selina said.

Jake peered at her. He spotted that same chain she had yesterday. It looked different. This time, it had a gold charm on it.

"What's that?" He asked.

Selina glanced at the neon chain. She shrugged. Gia grabbed her wrist and saw the charm. It had Eric's name engraved on it.

"Okay so if your not dating anybody else, then why is Eric's name engraved on your chain?" Gia questioned her.

"Because I put it there. I couldn't get a jersey from the school store, so I just put my favorite player on the chain." Selina explained.

Gia raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah? So, Troy's okay with you having another guy's name on your chain?" She asked.

Selina shrugged.

"It doesn't matter what he thinks. Eric got this for me while-"

"Wait! I thought you said you bought it?" Jake said.

Selina raised both of her eyebrows this time.

"Oh...right! I did buy it." She said.

"And, Eric knows you have this on here?" Noah asked.

Selina nodded.

"Yeah, he's the one that gave it to me." She said.

Noah raised an eyebrow at her. Selina quickly realized what she had said as her eyeballs widened. She looked around at everyone watching. She sighed.

"Fine. Eric and I are boyfriend and girlfriend." She revealed.

"Aha!" Jake yelled.

Selina rolled her eyes.

"But wait, then why are you dating both of them?" Emma asked.

Selina shrugged.

"Because, I want to. Mix it up a little bit, you know?" She responded.

"No!" Noah remarked.

Selina rolled her eyes.

"Look guys, it's not that big of a deal." She assured.

"Not that big...you cheated on our friend." Jake said.

"So?" Selina replied.

"What do you mean so?" Emma asked.

"Come on. Lots of people do it." Selina said.

"Yes. But, I didn't think you would." Emma replied.

Selina shrugged.

"Look-"

"No, you look. I get away with almost anything. I mean, do you really think that Troy would believe the people that tried to spilt him up with the only person he's ever loved?" Selina teased.

Some people glanced at each other.

"And anyway, me and Eric have been together for six years. That's my actual real lifetime relationship. Do I have other relationships? Yes. But, there basically used to help me with my studies. Besides, Troy isn't what you call, important to me." She admitted.

The others glanced at each other.

"Why?" Gia asked.

"Because, he's just the new kid." Selina answered.

Some people were a little shocked at her choice of words. Even the rangers couldn't believe her right now. But, what they didn't know was that someone was standing right behind Selina and he heard everything.
