The Love Diamond

Telephone

Sage POV

I was slowly walking through the halls trying to avoid getting to class. I was good at sneaking around these halls, especially in the 500 hallways. No one walks around here. But this time I did hear footsteps. I turned around, and saw Zikomo slowly walking behind me.
I just knew it was him.

" Hey Rudo... need something?" I ask sarcastically.

"Hi Sage." he said shyly, almost in a way that I felt bad for him. I wonder why Novembers boyfriend was talking to me. I mean, we are cool and all, but we do not really talk much unless November and Brooklyn were around.

"How do you know I want something?" Zikomo questions.

" I am psychic. Hahaha, Brooklyn texted me that you were looking for me." I answered.

"So I was wondering if you would go to formal with a certain someone?"

" Huh? I am alrea- " I begin to say but he cuts me off.

" He is kind of- special. Its Dustin Kracer. "

" RUDO WHAT?"

" Oh c'mon I am starting to feel bad for this kid."

I have never wanted to puke so much in my life. Dustin? That crusty white snitch. He tells everyone's secrets. Wait- Why would Zikomo do this unless-

"Yes or no, Sage?'

"HELL NO!" I screeched "Why would you think I would go with, him?

"Please for me." Zikomo pleads.

"Sorry Rudo but I can't. Plus I'm going with Noah anyways.

He sighs. He looks like he wants to argue more but we both see a security guard about to head our way. So we both walk our separate directions.

Brooklyn POV

My notifications were blowing up, and I forgot to put my phone on silent. Mr. Banter started to yell at the whole class. Everyone either looked around or checked their phones. I was able to sneak a look to see that Sage was sending me text after text. I got a pass to the bathroom and met Sage by our normal meeting place. It was like our daily routine.

"You almost got me in trouble." I scorn her. But she seemed to anxious to mock me.

"I have something serious to tell you." She says while shaking.

"Dan and Phil are coming to New Jersey for TATINOF!!!" I squeal.

"Lmao I wish." she says.

" Damn it those pricks. Is it about Noah?"

"No. Zikomo is hiding something big." Sage's face gets serious.

"How do you know? He's like a big fluffy pillow. He seems too innocent." I suggest.

"He asked me if I would go to formal with Dustin." She cringes.

"Oooooooohhhhhh. That makes sense. Ha! You and Dustin! I ship." I say making fun of her.

" Gross. Do not speak of it." she says holding her hand up in warning.

" But I don't think Zikomo is hiding anything about November. I mean at least I don't think." I look up and ponder. But we both shrug and open the door.

We walk around the halls and theorize some more.

Dustin POV

I hope Zikomo gets Sage to go out with me. I have it all planned out. I am going to get her a big bouquet of roses and her favorite hazelnut chocolate. I'm going to make sure that she has the best night ever. I have been watching her since seventh grade. We were friends for a little bit but somethings got in the way. But I found a way to keep watching her from the sidelines. I made sure that no matter what nothing would get in the way. Until Noah came around. I was gonna get the girl of my dreams, but of course he had to show up then and there. Now I must find a way to get to her heart and that is where Zikomo comes in. I walk down the hallways knowing that she will be-

"Hey dude I tried as hard as I could but she doesn't want to go with you she's going with-" Zikomo claims.

"Don't say his name." I cut him off. "Figure it out by formal or else everyone finds out."

I walk away before he talks. Man, this whole devil thing is fun.

Noah POV
" Noah! We almost didn't see you oh my god." says Sage.

" Story of my life." I reply

Sage and Brooklyn then come running to me with disgusted faces on them. They are screaming and squealing something about Zikomo and a secret. I try to listen in but they are spitting out theories way to fast. Like he is cheating on November or he is a drug dealer. Maybe he killed someone or he did something. Its hard to follow them sometimes.

Sage and I share an awkward hug but continue to walk together while Brooklyn went on the hunt for November. I still don't know why she was running that fast.
