"You don't talk a lot, do you?" Maison asked Chase.

She smiled, looking down at her hands. "You know I don't. Only to you." She replied.

He smiled. Chase and Mase. He thought as he looked at her. She was beautiful to him, inside and out. The fact that he could relate to her only attracted him more. She was different from him but still had so much in common. They liked games, the color blue, scary movies, the list went on. He had never even went so far to even get to know someone that much. He liked her though. "I only talk to you too." He told her.

"I like when you talk to me." Chase said putting her hand over his, her light skin a huge contrast against his caramel.

Mase smiled, this girl had him head over heels. "You talked to your mom? I heard they got her back here." He said, squinting his eyes as he looked out into the busy street.

Chase shook her head. "Not right now. You talked to yours?" She asked.

"Yeah, she texted me." He said, smacking his lips.

"What did she say?" She asked.

Mase was quiet for a while before opening his mouth to speak. "Asking about Daye and if he was okay. Saying she hopes I wasn't getting him into any trouble." He answered.

Chase frowned. "At least you're not like me." She whispered.

Mase lifted her head up. "I wish you saw what I could see."

"My name is Taylor. I used to own a diamond shop." Taylor announced as she walked up to Sin who sitting in Slug's little living room space, her legs crossed and a foam cup. She flipped her purple hair, laughing.

"Now you care?" She asked making Taylor laugh.

"Yeah." Taylor said, laughing a little. Sin smiled, nodding.

"Nice to finally meet you, Taylor. You're Wyn's ex, right? I remember seeing you-"

"Yeah, I remember seeing you too." Taylor said, faking a smile. "I just didn't want you sitting in a corner reading a book all the time."

"I know. I didn't want it be awkward being that I was you know..." Sin said with a frown.

Taylor looked away to avoid hitting her in her mouth. "No, I don't know. What were you doing?" Taylor asked, squinting at her before sitting down.

"Y'know? Having sex..." She replied.

Taylor thought she was over him and the situation but at this point, the whole situation and her anger resurfaced. Taylor flipped her hair behind her shoulder before leaning forward. "That's cute. It could never be awkward though, babygirl. Because if y'all were having sex it couldn't be that good if he still hits me up afterwards." She whispered.

Sin's smile dropped as Taylor got up. "True but if you were that good, he would've never came to me."

"Cute but regardless of whatever you think you had with, it's over. Period. You said ya name is Sin, right? Reminds me of my sister Cyn. Nice to meet you though." Taylor said, waving as she walked off.

Sin watched her. Bitch.

Reiya kissed Daye sweetly, sitting on top of him as he massaged her butt. Daye was all about education and advancing in life to where he wanted to be but it seemed that whenever he was with Rei, all of that was out the window. He didn't know if it was a good or bad thing that his attention was full on on her and making her happy as well as keeping her safe.

However for Rei it was something of the opposite. She wasn't 100% tied into him as he was her. They were young and she didn't believe love was something that happened this early on in life or in a relationship. She didn't even want a real relationship.

Although Rei did like Dayton she couldn't say she was all into him like that. She just wanted to wait until she was older and had experienced things.

They hadn't discussed that though.

Whenever the discussion did come around, Reiya dodged it or changed the subject. Sometimes she would laugh and ask why he was being so serious. He was cute and charming, just everything a typical 18 year old would want... but let's be honest. Reiya was not that 18 year old looking for love.

Kayo was at the club where Wyn told him and Slug to be, watching the spot. They were going to go with Roman's plan and wait it out, let Calib come to them. Wyn came in late as usual, his arm still latched in the cast. He sat down besides Kayo.

"Seen anything?" Wyn asked.

Kayo shook his head. "Nah." He answered. He opened his mouth to say something else but Sincere walking in afterwards fucked up his train of thought. "What's this?"

Wyn shook his head as Sin sat beside him, wrapping her arm around him as she stared at Kayo devilishly. "Hey."

Kayo's eye twitched as he looked from her to Wyn. "You remember Sin?" He asked.

Kayo nodded slowly. "Oh I remember her ass." He said, rolling her eyes.

Wyn looked between the two. "Yeah, I came up here like a week or two ago looking for you. He didn't tell you?" Sin asked, laying her head on his shoulder.

"Nah." Wyn said, looking confused.

"Me either." They heard. Everyone looked up and Taylor stood there with a forced smile.

Oh shit.
