three.

— travis' pov

she looked so upset, what the heck happened?

i get out of the bathroom, making sure nobody saw me. i go back to where everyone else was in hopes that ciera is there but, i don't see her anywhere.

"damn it!" i say out loud.

"woah there buddy. what the heck, what's going on?" ronnel asks me.

i pull him to the boys bathroom so no one would hear us.

"i can't find ciera. i think she's upset about something and you probably know how she is when she's upset." i say to ronnel.

ronnel mumbles something under his breath as he runs out of the bathroom looking for ciera.

— third person pov

what the two boys didn't know was, there was someone other than them in the bathroom. jaxton was in a stall eavesdropping, not purposely though, on travis and ronnel's conversation. as soon as the two guys left, jaxton rushed to one of the buildings stairways to go look for ciera.

— ciera's pov

i feel so stupid.

i think to myself as i lean against the wall of my homeroom. i hear a very faint voice calling my name but pay no attention to it. the voice comes closer and closer until someone pulls me up from the floor. once the person holds me in their arms, i start sobbing.

"hey, it's okay, i'm here. it's me, jax. it's gonna be okay." jaxton reassures me.

we sit down against the wall as i start to tell him why i'm acting this way.

"well, if he doesn't see how you feel about him, he's an idiot." jaxton says, trying to cheer me up.

i hear ronnie and travis' voice coming our way. i get up slowly making sure they don't see me. i start walking away and i see both of the boys trying to run after me but, jaxton stops them. i slow my steps down to hear what he's saying to them.

"woah hold up. give her some space, that's all she needs right now," jaxton says to travis, "same goes to you bro." he looks at ronnie.

(a/n: i feel like peter woah woah woah kavinsky using the word 'woah' jejejej)

"but-" travis and ronnie try to give an excuse.

"i said no." jaxton cuts them off.

i keep walking down the stairs but stop and began crying again. i guess the boys heard me crying because they all came to where i was.

"ciera, c'mon you gotta talk to me. why are you crying?" travis asks me.

i don't reply back to travis, for obvious reasons.

"ciera, why are you crying again?" jaxton asks me.

"i wanna go home.." i say back to jaxton in between my sobs.

"what the hell? why can you reply to him and not me?!" travis shouts.

"just leave me alone!" i exclaim as i look at him and run down the stairs and straight to the bathroom, again.

why am i so dramatic? geez.

— jaxton's pov

"what did i tell you? give her some damn space, that's all she's asking for right now." i say to travis as i get closer to him.

"and why should i listen to you?" travis says back to me as i begin to clench my fists.

"just leave her alone, for Christ's sake!" i scoff, pushing him to the wall.

"who do you think you are to be yelling at me like that?!" travis pushes me back.

"guys calm down. ciera might find out you're fighting and might really get mad at both of you." ronnel says, pushing travis and i away from each other.

"i've been her freaking best friend since birth." i say to travis, ignoring what ronnel said.

"you know what? you guys are both idiots. i'm just going to go find ciera by myself then." ronnel says, leaving me and travis alone upstairs.

"forget it. let's just drop this and go help ronnel find ciera, okay?" i ask travis.

he agrees with me but, before we even get the chance to get down the stairs, the bell rings. recess is over and now we have to go to our third period. i have science and i think kai has that class as well so hopefully i can talk to her there.

— ciera's pov

now i really don't wanna go to class.

i know jaxton has the same class and he's just gonna ask more questions. i decided to just go to class late. i look upstairs and see that the entire class is outside. i quickly hide behind a wall because i think jaxton saw me. i walk slowly towards the class, up the stairs. not even one step into the hallway, i see jaxtons shoes in front of me.

"what the hell are you doing here? shouldn't you be in class already?" i ask him, whispering.

"i should be the one asking that." he says back.

"i'm going to go to class late." i tell him, fidgeting with my hoodie strings.

"no, you aren't. we still have about 2 minutes till the bell rings. c'mon let's go." he grabs my hand and we walk towards the classroom.

"aw. that's so cute." i hear someone say .

"okay, who the heck said that?"

"me, why?"

i look towards to where the voice is coming from and see that it's coming from riley.

"you know we aren't dating, so why are you saying that?" i ask her while laughing.

"because i want you guys to date." she says smiling at me, emphasizing the 'want' in her sentence.

"ha ha, yeah whatever." i say sarcastically.

jaxton and i stand in line to enter class, him being behind me. to be honest, i feel like i have feelings for jaxton a little more than i do for travis. i know i sound like a homie hopper but, it's just that jaxton makes me really happy and i know he cares for me. maybe i should just forget about travis and give me and jaxton a chance instead.

yeah, maybe i'll do just that.

(a/n: bro what even was this chapter???? very messy & very dramatic. not very demure of ciera)
