montgomery sat on his bed, staring up at his paranoid girlfriend as she ranted about how they shouldn't be together. montgomery, however, was the one that instigated their first argument.

"that's so stupid, elle!" he stood up. she was taken back for a second.
"how is it stupid? no one supports us being together!" she responded.

"i don't care what anyone else thinks. we should be together. we're great together." monty said as he watched elle pace back and forth.

then, she stopped.
"montgomery, who is jasmine?" elle asked.  little did monty know that her question would make his heart stop.

"what?" monty asked, feigning confusion. the blonde haired teenager turned around to look at montgomery.
"who is jasmine?" she repeated. montgomery's mind flashed back to his freshman year.

"how do you know about her?" monty asked. elle turned around to face him.
"she's friends with my sister. what did you do to her, montgomery?" elle questioned.

"it was stupid, all right? it was just a dumb dare." monty started.
"continue." elle ordered, crossing her arms over her chest. she wanted to hear monty say what he did.

"bryce dared me to get jasmine to fall in love with me. if i won, he'd pay me a hundred dollars." montgomery stated. elizabeth scoffed, looking at her boyfriend.
"you're such a shitty person, monty." she shook her head.

"was! elle, i was a shitty person. i'm not like that anymore, i swear." monty said, grabbing elle's hands. she slid her hands out of his.

"how do i know that you're not doing the same thing to me?!" elle asked. monty stared at her with wide eyes.
"are you kidding?! elle, i care about you! you're the best thing that's ever happened to me! you make me care about things." monty stated, and rested his hands against elle's cheeks.

her green eyes looked at him. she didn't want to give in to him so easily.
"did you apologize to her?" elle asked. monty sighed and shook his head. he just wanted elle to stop talking about the whole situation.

"no." he answered truthfully. elle planted a swift kiss against his lips.
"you're going to apologize to her. got it?" elle looked at monty.

"why do i have to apologize to her? no one told her to fall in love with me." monty scoffed, stepping back from elle.

elle rolled her eyes at her boyfriend and collected her things.
"fuck you, montgomery." she simply stated, leaving his bedroom.
