Aquarius P.O.V.

School. I don't want to leave my room. But leaving the house is the best thing. I wait for the bus again, and head to school. Today, I want to be along.

3rd Person P.O.V.

When Aquarius wants to be along, her friends know it. They leave her be.

But Jessica is another story.

She walks up to Aquarius and pushes her into a close tree.

"Stay a way from Justin. And don't think that pass out trick worked on me."

"I-It wasn't a trick. I really did pass out."

"You can tell people that, but everyone knows that it was just so you could get close to Justin."

"I don't know what you mean?"

"Stop playing stupid. You also kissed in the nurses office. I can tell you like him. But he doesn't like you. He likes me. So back off."

"We didn't kiss. And I never said I like him."

"Of course you do." She leans in closer. "I also heard what happened a few nights ago."

"W-What?"

"That's right. The men trying to get into your pants. And Justin saving you. I bet you paid them to do that."

"I didn't!"

"So, if you don't want the school to know, stay away from my Justin."

She wipes her hair in Aquarius's face as she turns. Aquarius was speechless. She didn't know what to do. Be friends with Justin and have the whole school think she's a pervert, or to stay away from him.

"Aquarius? What happened?" Justin walked up to her. "What did Jessica want?"

"She....knows about the night with those men."

"Shit. She must have overheard me telling the others."

"She said that if I didn't stay away from you that she would tell the whole school that I paid them to do it."

"That bitch." He muttered.

"I....don't know what to do." Aquarius put her head in her hands.

"Let me talk to her."

She looked up. "You really think she'll listen to you?"

"We can find out."

He turns and starts walking. But Aquarius grabs his arm.

"What?"

"I can't let you do this."

"W-What? Why? I'm not letting my friend get hurt."

"I don't want my friend to have to date her. She just wants you. She thinks I'm competition."

"Are you?"

She pauses.

"N-No." She says unsure.

"Then let me talk to her."

"But this is between me and her."

"Now it's between me, her, and you."

"Justin....."

He continues walking.

"Justin!" She yelled.

He doesn't stop. He walks over to Jessica.
