"She thinks I'm gay."

"No, I cleared that up but we are conspiracizing that Zach is," Quinn says with a mouth full of toothpaste. 

"I can see that. If it weren't for him being connected to Bailey when I first saw him I thought he was gay," I pull my old t-shirt on to get ready to sleep. Quinn doesn't oogle over my body like almost everyone else I know so it makes me wonder if she's gay. Enough with the gay subject.

"Yeah same here," she walks into my bathroom and spits ehr toothpaste out.

"But you told her we used to date. I'm sure she's going to tell all of intimidation nation who will tell all of their teammates or other social circle members. Pretty soon this whole thing will be spread everywhere. Plus, I'm sure someone is going to get either really salty or really upset. That someone is Bentley," I lean against my bathroom door frame.  

"Oh hahaha. We aren't even dating. We have literally only been here for three days. I don't want to jump into anything that quick. What about that Amanda though?" she wipes her face with a towel then throws it in the hamper. 

"Not interested, too clingy. I'm thinking about making up a story of how I had a girlfriend back in Canada, but I broke up with her because we we're too young for long distance relationships."

"Nice, but almost really cliche. Make it like you wanted the long distance relationship but she was just too mad about you doing a foreign exchange program that she dumped you herself."

"Sounds a little more believable. Also puts a little dent in the heartbreaker vibe I am giving off to people."

"It does, a lot."

"Yeah I wanted to tell you about Jade, but just haven't had the chance," I tell Amanda. She puts on a sad face and places her hand over her heart.

"I am so sorry, that sucks. I really wish I could go and slap Jade right now," she tells me as the first bell rings for school. We walk inside and discuss "Jade".  We walk our separate ways when we get to the lockers. Quinn looks at me disappointed.

"That didn't go as planned. I think she's even more into you now," she says as she spins her combination. 

"I know, it's aggravating. She just won't leave now. I need something to either make her repulsed by me or make me unavailable," I say opening my locker and getting some stuff out of it. 

"We can get you plastic surgery and remove or reduce your jawline," Quinn says as she slams her locker.

"But I like my jawline," I say as Tatyana comes up to us.

"Hey what'ya  talkin 'bout?" Tatyana interrupts.

"How do you get Amanda to stop preying on Than?" Quinn asks her.

"Yeah, she's kinda clingy" I say as we start walking to our first classes.

"I know, just tell her you aren't interested and she's not your type," Tatyana responds.

"It's that easy?" I say, shook.

"Yeah, oh, and good luck with your science sub today. Mr. Bards is mega mean," Tatyana says as she walks into her class.

"Bards, where have I heard that name before?" Quinn tells me as she goes into her class. When I get to my class and sit down, I stop and think. 

Where have I heard that name?
