-Peggy schuyler -

Angelica  still had a disbelieving look on her face. "Uh, Peggy ?" She asked. We were gathering party supplies when the boys were at home... Probably not the best idea.

"Yes, Angelica ?" I asked. "Ooh, can you grab those chips?" I added, pointing my finger to the Cheetos. I laughed when she grabbed it and threw it in the basket, but I stopped laughing when she picked it back up and threw it at my face. I looked at her and she glared at me.

"You SO like laurens ! And I can't believe you are going to do this to Simon  I know he did it to me, but—"

"WHAT?" I exclaimed. "Angelica , he cheated on you? How come I didn't know that?" I asked, folding my arms across my chest.

"Never mind, I like someone else, anyway. Simon's yours..." She said, grabbing some Cokes.

"Oh, no, Simon's getting the drinks, Angelica . Who do you like?" I asked, pushing back the Cokes. "Tell me! Come on! Please?"

"Whatever. Let's just go check out. The party is starting in four hours... We need to get ready. Do we have all the decorations too?" Angelica  asked and I looked at our shopping list that Laurens gave us. Everything was crossed off.

Soda, Chips (Cheetos and Lays, diff. flavors), Streamers, Balloons (Random colors), Music (ALL kinds).

There was more on the list but I couldn't read it. All I could see are black lines, so I nodded. "Yeah, but how DARE you ignore me and CHANGE the subject! Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, TELL ME—"

"OKAY! I like alexander ! Okay?" I froze as she yelled at me. My eyes bugged out of head.

"Isn't that—"

" we should really talk about this somewhere else, Peggy " Angelica  interrupted. I nodded and paid for the things for our party.

"Okay, so what up?" I asked as soon as we got into the car.

"What up what?" She asked, her monotone getting in the way of her usual perky voice. I gave her a look that said she knew what I meant. "Okay, so you want to go straight into it... Okay, I love Alexander . Is that all that I have to say?"

"Why?" Was all I could say.

"Because I've known him forever, and he's known me forever, and... Hmph!" She stuttered out, folding her arms across her chest. "But I don't like the fact that he's dating Eliza."

I had to focus on the road, but I couldn't help but sneak a peek at Angelica . She was looking out the window, looking into the sky. She was looking for a way to get away from the truth, I knew that. She knew that.

And when she sighed and looked away, I knew the truth had smacked her in the face. Alexander  was dating Eliza ,  Not her.

I caught her crying. "Angelica y... I never knew you were so upset about this? Why didn't you tell me this before?" I whispered.

"Because I didn't want you to judge me" She muttered.

"You didn't judge me about my certain problems .. Why would I judge you about this?" She went dead silent and I continued her crying again. I had to break the ice. "Angelica  answer me. Why haven't you told me? You know it's not because of I'll judge you – because I won't – so why?"

"Because I didn't know until today... What am I going to do?"

Honestly, I have no idea.
