A few weeks passed, and Tré, Mike and Lucy saw considerably less of Billie. He would always show up - then say he was leaving to see Lauren, then if they went to his, she'd either be there or they'd be on the phone for hours. They were getting more and more irritated with Billie's behaviour, and Mike lost it when he showed up to their secret spot with her.
"I'm going home," he muttered, standing up and looking down at Tré and me "see you tomorrow," he murmured, going and getting in his car and ignoring his oldest friend. Billie looked over
"What's crawled in his ass?" He asked, chuckling a little, stopping when he saw his friends weren't laughing. Lucy grabbed her baggie of weed and started rolling a joint, looking down and leaving Tré to explain.
"You were supposed to be spending time with us today BJ," he told him "we've barely seen you recently," he added. Billie looked at Lucy and she shrugged, bringing the joint to her lips and running her tongue along it to seal it, twisting the end and watching them, not missing the look of disgust on Lauren's face directed at the drugs. Billie looked down, about to respond when Lauren jumped in
"He wanted to spend time with me doing something more interesting than getting high," Lauren snapped. Lucy raised an eyebrow
"Sorry what?" She asked "you literally weren't even invited here..we don't want you here so why don't you fuck off home instead of sitting here and insulting us?" She added, smirking as Lauren opened her mouth and was unable find a reply
"Billie, you're seriously going to let her talk to me like that?" She asked with a pout. He looked over at Lucy, who raised both her eyebrows and shrugged, he looked down
"Let's just go," he mumbled, standing up and pulling Lauren with him. Tré sighed
"Get me high," he muttered, handing Lucy a lighter and smoking the joint with her.

Lucy and Mike sat on the grass at school, waiting for Tré to get out of a lesson. When she saw Billie making his way over, Lucy sighed, lighting a cigarette and handing one to Mike. She offered one to Billie as he sat next to her, he accepted and smiled a little.
"I owe you all an apology but I'll wait for Tré," he muttered. Lucy hummed and handed him a lighter as they all sat there inhaling the nicotine and feeling the slight buzz. When Tré joined them, Billie offered a small smile.
"I owe you all an apology. I've spent too much time with her, I know, and I'm sorry I keep inviting her out..she's just impossible to get away from, she keeps accusing me of cheating with you Lucy and so every time I'm with you all she insists on coming, it's annoying me as much as it is you guys," he mumbled. Lucy smirked
"She thinks there's something between us?" She asked, Billie hummed and chuckled
"I'm clearly just too irresistible," he smirked, poking his ribs.
"I can barely keep my hands off you, I don't know how I've controlled myself this long," Lucy teased, slapping his shoulder and laying back in the grass. "She's just jealous that I know how to have fun," she added with a smirk. Mike grinned and lay down with her
"Hey BeeJ, if she thinks she's so much fun, bring her to our party on Friday," he smirked. Billie bit back a smile and slapped Mike's stomach playfully.
