I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry! I haven't updated in ages! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Forgive me pleaseee. Xx

"Oh. I think we're the ones that should be sorry. It wasn't your fault. I would've done the same. How are we going to stop her though. I know you really want to be with her. I mean, so did I but I think your relationship is more important. Anyway, I have Sascha." Alex says, winking at Sascha and hugging her tighter. She laughs and nods.

"I agree. So... What's the plan?" Alex asks.

"We need a way to get back at Mia. Well, getting her expelled is the only way for us to stop her from hurting Aria. So..." I say.

"How would we get her expelled?" Sascha asks.

"We could set up cameras for if she hurts Aria. For example. I guess we could make her mad and then follow her when she goes into a bathroom like today and then make Aria go in and then film what happens." She grins evilly.

"But. Aria. I don't want her to get hurt again." I say, worried.

"We can stop it before something bad happens." Alex suggests.

"What if we're too late?" Sascha asks.

"Then I'll kick her out myself." I say angrily.

"Okay." Sascha says, "how do we make her mad? Like... Mad mad."

"One thing Mia hates is being compared to others. Especially Aria. I'm guessing." I say.

"Okay..." Alex says thinking, "what about... You got up and talk to her. Say things like 'why aren't you like Aria. Stop hurting my girlfriend' -emphasize the girlfriend bit- or 'you're not nearly as pretty as her. No one needs you here. Just leave. Go away or I'll squash your face and BURY YOU IN YOUR OWN BLOOD AND-"

"That's enough Alex!" Sascha says, widening her eyes, "we can keep the first bit for sure but I think you went a little bit too far on the last bit."

Alex smiles sheepishly and apologises.

"Right. Okay. The plan is that I'm going to go up to her and say stuff like I'll bury you in your own blood. Wait, which part went too far?"

Sascha sighs and face palms, "the 'bury in your own blood' bit you idiot."

"Oh. So I'll compare her to Aria and then she'll probably be angry and do something to her. But. We will be there to film it. I don't think this is gonna work." I sigh.

"It could. We have to try." Sascha says frowning.

"Okay fine." I say and look down, "What happens if Aria does get hurt and we're not there?" I ask.

"Well... I'm not sure..." Alex says.

"But that won't happen because we'll be with Aria the whole time." Sascha says, trying to lighten the mood.

"Also... Should we tell Aria about this?" I ask.

"Well..." Alex says, "I dunno." He sighs and deflates onto a chair.

"I think we should. That means she knows what she's getting into. But. What if she refuses?" Sascha says.

"She won't. I know she won't. She wants Mia to leave this school as much as we do. Probably more." I say.

"Let's go check on her." Alex says turning around.

Sascha and I follow him back into the room where Asia is lying. I walk up to her and stroke her hair. This is all because of me. Wait... It is because of me. Nothing would've happened if I wasn't here. If I left... Mia would stay away from Aria because she wouldn't have anything to do with me anymore.

"I love you Aria." I whisper and let go of her hand. I turn around and look at the others. Should I tell them? No. I'll just leave. Wait. But they'd have questions. "Guys. I have a better plan." The both look at me.

"What is it?" Sascha asks.

"Nothing would've happened if I wasn't here. So..." Sascha gasps, standing up abruptly.

"No! No, no, no. You are not leaving." Sascha says.

"But... I guess he has a point." Alex says, frowning.

"What! No!" Sascha shouts.

"Let's go back outside before we wake up Aria." I say, dragging them both out.

Before Sascha says anything, Alex shakes his head, "let him explain." She sighs and nods.

"If I left, Mia would have no reason to hurt Aria anymore."

"I guess... But what would we tell Aria and your squad and everyone?!" Sascha questions. I frown at the thought.

"Say I-I dunno. Wait! Say my aunt found other relatives that we didn't know about and they sent me to go live with them." I say.

"But don't you guys live together. Where would you actually go?" Sascha asks.

"He can live with me!" Alex suggest.

"That's too risky. I'll just rent an apartment! There. Done." I say an they nod.

"Why do you have to leavveeee???" Sascha says sighing, "can't we find a better solution?"

I shake my head, "we need to act fast."

"We'll miss you." Sascha frowns, hugging me.

"When are you leaving?" Alex asks.

"Umm. After school today. Tell Aria that my aunt phoned and said I had to go straight to her house."

"Okay." Sascha says releasing me. "Let's go back in."

They both return into the room but I sit down, putting my head in my hands. Have I made the right decision?
