"Man I'm sick of being Newt and Pepper's servant"

"Yeah, Newt's making me get him churros all day. Just to throw them at me" Troy cried.

I looked around trying to find a way to save us from this hell when I saw Sawyer's truck behind us. Then I had this idea.

"Hey, why don't we hid in Sawyer's truck? They'll never find us in there!"

"Good idea!" Troy said and followed me in the truck slamming the door down.

'Cluck' we both heard it when the door closed.

"What was that? I said pointing at the door. "Did that lock?"

Troy tried to pull up the handle.

"It won't open! He tried again but no luck. "We're stuck!"

"No! I yelled and tried to also pull the handle. "Can anybody hear me?" I yelled while punching the door of the truck along with Troy.

"Sophie?" a familiar voice replied

"Sawyer? Troy and I are in here, can you open the door?" I said relieved

"Nope. Not falling for that one again!" what the heck?

"Sawyer!" we both yelled.

"SAWYER COME BACK! NOW!" Troy tried again, but Sawyer was gone.



"Oh, I will kill him! I. Will. Kill. Him! Troy kept repeating while he went up and down the truck.

I searched my pockets and I realized.

"Troy! I don't have my phone with me"

"What? Oh no, mine's out of battery, shit! Sawyer's dad will come sooner or later, but we're missing all the fun outside! Everyone's celebrating the win except us. You and your brilliant idea!"

"Well I didn't know the door would lock. Like I wanted to be stuck in a truck with you? I'd rather be locked in a truck with a creepy clown rather then you!"

"Oh thank you! I'll take that as a compliment." He replied with a high tone of irony, and kicked the door.


We just sat there silent while outside they were all screaming and partying for the amazing win. Troy was sitting right across off me with his elbows resting on his knees, and he was staring at his locked fingers. I could tell he was thinking about something, maybe of a way to get out, and while I kept wondering he broke the silence.

"Why are you always so cruel?" he asked without facing me.

"It's called sarcasm and I use it a lot!"

He left out a small laugh. "Any soft side in you?"

 I rolled my eyes. I took a deep breath

"Okay, I might be a bit cruel but if you also grew up with my brothers you'd be the same."

"It's okay." He paused. "I get it. But...he chewed his bottom lip. "Not all boys are the same. You shouldn't be scared to show you're actually kind"

"I am kind!" I raised my tone.

"Not with me" he smirked. That Dixon smirk.

"What are you talking about? I am nice to you. Like when we were studying together?"

"Only because I was helping you Sophie!"

"Is that what you think?" he nodded yes. "Well, you're wrong, and I am a nice person Troy!"

"I know you are! I'm just saying, it would be cool for once to not argue or make sarcastic jokes at each other, and have a normal conversation but I guess it can't work that way with us." he said and stood up.

"Well of course we can't, because you're the most arrogant boy I have ever met, and you're cocky, and you always think you're the best football player, and even a monkey has a higher IQ than you and... oh my god, Sophie what are you saying? Why? I AM MEAN!

I looked at Troy who had his arms crossed under his chest and a wide smile was spread across his face.I took a few steps back and stumbled upon a box of supplies. Troy ran towards me

"You okay?" he said while grabbing my shoulder.

"Yeah, um... I'm sorry. I... I didn't mean to say all these mean things to you." I stuttered. I couldn't even look at him now. He sat on a box beside me. After a few minutes in silence words came out of my mouth again.

"I'm sorry I got us locked in this truck" I sighed

"Don't be. I really enjoy this!" he smiled at me.


And that's when the truck door opened and we saw Sawyer and his dad right in front of us.

"What are you doing in here kids?" we both got up and went close to the door.

"Dad, I left them in here to have some "alone" time you know"

"Oh I get it. Nice one son. They look like a cute couple"

"WE ARE NOT A COUPLE!" we yelled at once.

"Are you crazy? Troy got out of the truck yelling at Sawyer. "We missed the whole win-party you idiot!" he said and punched Sawyer's arm.

"Ouch! Well I thought you were, like, you know, - he stuttered - I mean Bella and Zack almost kissed in here, so I didn't want to ruin another secret date"

"Zack? What about Alycia?" I asked

"You thought we were kissing?" Troy snapped

"Ahh the youth!" Sawyer's dad said while he grabbed some boxes.

"I'm sorry guys, I just thought... What is it going to take for you to forgive me?"

Troy and I glanced at each other and then we both turned to Sawyer

"You could take our place as Newt's and Pepper's servant!" Troy said

"A servant? Oh man... what is that?"

"Oh you'll see. You'll love it!" I winked at Troy.



After the party ended, I went home with Bella, who kept talking about Zach and their kiss, and I felt so happy for her, wondering when my first kiss would happen, how, where. But I really couldn't focus on her voice, my mind was twirling around the words I said to Troy earlier, and how extremely mean I was to him. He was right. I am not nice and now I felt bad, really bad. I wanted to text him and apologize again but my ego wouldn't let me.
