Chloe had been bothering Bella for the study date, after she had to cancel, due to her fight with Scott. Bella felt bad about bailing, but there was no way she could handle Chloe's innocent, however annoying remarks about Scott. So now, Chloe and Bella were sat crossed legged on Bella's bed, studying for their Legal Studies test.

'So' Chloe trailed on, 'I heard that you had a fight with Scott'

'Chloe' Bella started but Chloe wouldn't let her finish

'It's okay Bella' Chloe said, 'It's okay. You could've told me and we could've had a girls night'

Bella wanted to roll her eyes at the comment, but she couldn't. She knew that Chloe was trying to be a friend, which was something she never was before. Maybe she felt bad? Maybe she felt like she had to help the girl whose heart was broken? Or the girl whose heart was so broken that it led her into a psych ward. But Chloe didn't know all of the details.

'I'm sorry about what I told you' Chloe said, 'I was just trying to be there for someone'

Bella looked up with worried eyes. It seemed as Chloe had something she was hiding, but she wanted Bella to guess.

'Are you okay?' Bella asked as Chloe nodded quickly

'Yeah I'm fine' Chloe said as Bella raised her eyebrow, 'Okay fine...the other day with Marcus. It threw me off'

'Yeah it threw everyone off' Bella said as she went back to her textbook

'Is Bryce really a...' Chloe couldn't finish her sentence before Bella nodded

'Yes he is' Bella stated, 'They are not rumours with him and Jess'

'I don't know who to believe anymore' Chloe said with a sadden tone, 'I'm trying to make friends with people who I know I can trust, like you'

'I'm sorry Chloe but what have I done to earn your trust?' Bella asked as she placed her textbook down onto the bed

Chloe took in a deep breath before explaining, 'Do you remember in freshman when I had braces?'

'Yes?'

'Well I remember Monty making front of me for them' Chloe started, 'And you turned around and stuck up for me. And you could do that because you were Scott's girlfriend. Monty couldn't say anything back to you and if I was him, I wouldn't dare'

Bella laughed at the memory of always owning and putting Cruz into his place.

'I knew that you were there to be friends with' Chloe said, 'And Hannah was lucky to be friends with you'

Bella felt her heart flattered, 'Thanks Chloe'

Maybe Chloe wasn't as bad as Bella believed for the past couple of years. She was showing that she wasn't blonde and that she was compassionate. Bella knew she was way to judgemental, when it came to girls like Chole.
