it had now been 1 week since the party in which ethan, the new boy in town convinced astrid, a small town girl who rarely stepped out of her comfort zone, to attend the "little get together" as ethan had stated it before, yet was a complete a total lie, considering the party population was pushing 100 drunk teenagers.
"im pissed at you aubree. you still haven't talked about what went down between you and ethan at the party." astrid rolled her eyes dramatically as the original "holy trinity" strolled down the school hallways seeing as ethan was in the principal's office.
"and you two still haven't told me what really happened when you went up stairs!" aubree poked back, pushing both astrid and kevin playfully.
"yes we did." astrid and kevin said at the same time, suspiciously eyeing eachother and laughing a bit.
"she just fell asleep okay, and then the next morning we realized that that would have been a dumbass move anyway." kevin responded quickly, just to avoid aubree getting mad.
"i call bullshit on you both! astrid doesn't fall asleep, remember that one time that we all got wasted and she stayed up until 6am?! i want to know what really happened." aubree states firmly, as if she was part of the CIA.
astrid rolled her eyes abruptly. she and kevin, and everyone else who got to know aubree knew that she tended to overdramatize everything.
"that's literally what happened aubs. i honestly don't care if you believe it or not because that's what happened." astrid said angrily as she stormed off into the girls bathroom.
aubree was stunned as her bestfriend ran away, while kevin patted her on the back and walked in the same direction astrid had gone, marching right into the girls' bathroom.
"you're just lucky nobody else is in here." astrid laughed as she noticed kevin entering.
she hopped onto the bathroom counter and took her phone out from her back pocket, checking the time before looking back at kevin, who was now leaning against the stall walls, staring at her.
"are we ever going to tell her the truth. she's our bestfriend and deserves to know."
kevin broke the awkward silence of them just staring at eachother.
"no, no way. she can't know what happened, okay? it would ruin all of our relationships." astrid immediately widened her eyes and shook her head at the thought of aubree knowing their little secret.
"not all of our relationships." kevin smirked and cocked up an eyebrow.
astrid smiled widely and shook her head as she breathed out through her nose, indicating a laugh.

ethan dolan
"first few months here and i see you have already landed yourself several detentions." the annoying ass principal raised his eyebrows and sighed as he looked at some paper.
"with the things i've done they should have been suspensions." i laughed right back.
mr. smith shot his head up and glared at me.
"mr. dolan, may i remind you that you are here on probation. next time you pull something like this i will have no choice but to suspend you."
"that'll be the best day of my life." i mumbled, rolling my eyes a little and grabbing a hold of my backpack.
"what was that?" he asked rudely.
"i said, that will be the greatest fucking day of my life, richard!" i stood up from my seat abruptly and raised my voice slightly, making sure to use his real name before slamming he door open and walking out.
"probation huh, dolan?" a voice asked from the locker next to mine in the empty hallway.
i looked over to see carson sanchez, the captain of the football team, and star quarterback.
"i'm assuming you don't want your friends to know. that must be embarrassing as shit man." he laughed, patting my shoulder a little.
"what the hell do you want dude." i rolled my eyes, slamming my locker door shut and turning to face him.
"let's see...set me up with your cute little friend." carson smirked.
"aubree? she's all yours man." i responded, knowing in the back of my head it was a douchey thing to say.
"try again. how about astrid?"
i was slightly taken back, not knowing the exact reason.
why was i so willing to give up aubree, who is practically my girlfriend, but hesitant for astrid?
seeing i was clearly distraught, carson continued.
"you got a week, dolan. or else your little friends will know." and with that, he walked away.
aubree and kevin would laugh and be okay with my past.
astrid, not so much. i care about her acceptance more than anything, she's a great friend.
she's far too innocent to be apart of my life, but maybe it's time for me to just change that.

hi!!
sorry this is kinda short...
what do you think the secret between astrid and kevin is?
is ethan going to set up astrid and carson, or risk being exposed?
have you figured out who ethan's secret romantic interest is?
