THE THREE BEST FRIENDS were sitting at their chairs in history class and they were bored out of their minds. "this is so fucking boring, i can't stand it" alissa complained at cortney who just nodded her head. erika lacked any kind of energy at the moment, she was so tired and bored."pstt, costell" they heard someone whisper. erika turned around to meet eyes with her also best friend, kade speiser. right on queue the ring belled. everyone started getting up gathering their books to finally get up.
"let's go rik" cortney said confused on why they weren't leaving yet. "you guys go, i'll catch up with you guys in a minute" erika said to cortney. her two best friends nodded their heads and started walking out of the room.
"kade! oh my god i haven't seen you in forever" erika hugged him, a smile plastered in both of their faces. "i know, it's been so long" he laughed. "we have to catch up with each other" erika squealed happily. "oh my gosh! yes" kade said in a girly voice imitating erika.
she just punched his arm in a playful way. "oh! i heard there was a party tonight, maybe we can go together and we can catch up there" kade smiled sweetly. erika instantly frowned, she didn't want to go to jake paul's party.
"um, i don't know, maybe we can catch up some other day" erika suggested shrugging. "c'mon erika" kade groaned. "it will be fun" he reassured her. erika still felt uneasy about going to the party, she felt as if something was going to happen.
"i don't know" erika said still not convinced. "pretty please?" kade begged. "fine, only because it's you" erika admitted. kade smirked playfully and started jumping up and down. "yes!" he screamed celebrating. erika giggled at his silliness.
"okay, i have to go now" erika said while grabbing her books. "yeah, i'll se you later, okay?" kade said also grabbing his books.
"bye" erika said while walking out of the classroom, smiling to herself because she did in fact miss kade a lot.
kade stood there leaning on a wall of the classroom, waiting for someone, right on queue, a guy came into the class. "did you do it? did you get her to go to the party?" anthony asked anxiously. "yes, of course i did" kade flipped his imaginary long hair.
"thank you, bro" anthony said handing him ten dollars. kade rolled his eyes and handed the ten dollars back to him. "bro, that's not necessary" he said laughing. "i would of done it for free"
erika costell walked trough the halls, trying to find her two best friends. "erika, wait up" she heard a voice yell. she seemed familiar with that voice then it all hit her. she knew who the voice was so she started to speed up.
she felt a hand on her shoulder so she turned around to see jake. "i said wait up, didn't you hear me?" jake asked and you could hear a little bit of annoyance in his voice. "i did hear" erika replied coldly.
"then, why didn't you wait up?" jake asked trying to seem hurt, but erika knew better than that. "oh get over it" the girl rolled her eyes.
"anyways, a little bird told me you were talking to kade speiser after class" jake said looking oddly annoyed. "so?" erika replied rudely. her being friends with kade was not of his business.
"he is a fuck boy, just looking out for you" he shrugged getting his phone out of his pocket. erika scoffed, "he is not, and it's not like you care what happens to me" erika fought back.
this time jake scoffed. "i do care, what makes you think i don't?" jake questioned her. "maybe..." erika paused. "everything" she continued with a sassy tone.
"damn it erika" jake sighed in frustration. "i'm trying to be nice here, i know you don't like me because of my reputation but i'm trying to change" jake said. erika blinked a couple of times, she was not expecting him to say that.
"i know about your damn kiss list" erika whisper-yelled at him. jake quickly covered the girls mouth with his hand. "shhh! don't say that out loud" jake yelled at her, looking around to see if anyone heard. erika pushed his hand out of her mouth very aggressively.
"i know you're trying to be nice to me because you want me to kiss you for that stupid list" erika rolled her eyes. "what do you mean? you're not on the list" jake lied to her. "plus, i already completed the list" jake lied again. "just give me a chance" the guy begged.
she hated how jake treated girls but she also believed everyone deserves a second chance. "um- i" erika struggled to get her words out. "it's fine–i just want a second chance" jake explained.
"you're going to my party, right?" jake asked fixing his hair to avoid eye contact with her. "yeah" erika replied, her voice a lot more softer now. jake smiled to himself knowing that; one. erika would be going to his party, and two. that she was starting to let her guard down.
"perfect, i'll see you there" jake smiled with his teeth and left the girl all alone, terrified of what just happened. erika didn't like the thought of her being friends with jake, even though she tried to convince herself a couple of times that jake could change, she knew what kind of person he was.
erika started to look for her friends since she didn't know where they went, she spent like 10 minutes looking for them till she spotted mackenzie rose, and she thought it was a good idea to go ask her if she has seen them.
mackenzie rose is a known girl, not consider popular but she was definitely known. erika knew who she was and mackenzie also knew who erika was but they never really talked to each other. there were a lot of rumors that said that she hit it off pretty well with kade.
erika walked towards mackenzie who was leaning against her locker with her friend chloe bennet.
chloe is a beautiful girl, and she was one year older than me and than mackenzie, but she was still best friends with her. she is the girlfriend of the famous, logan paul. but i heard some rumors that they have been fighting over the summer.
"hi, mackenzie" erika said kinda shyly. "erika, hi" mackenzie smiled widely embracing her into a hug. erika was shocked that she was so nice to her. "hi erika, i'm chloe" she greeted erika.
"hi, i'm erika" she replied also receiving a hug from chloe. "um—i was just wondering if you guys have seen alissa or cortney?" erika asked looking around to see if she could spot them.
"well..." mackenzie said nervously playing with her fingers. "we haven't seen cortney, but we saw alissa get in the janitor's closet with anthony trujillo" chloe continued, nervousness clear in her voice.
erika couldn't believe it, alissa wouldn't right?. it's her friends fucking ex boyfriend, what a low move from alissa.
just some seconds later, erika looked at her right and saw alissa getting out of the janitor's closet, hair messy and lipstick all over the place. a minute later anthony came out his hair just as messy as alissa's.
both of the girls looked at erika anxiously, everyone at school knew what happened between cortney and anthony. erika clenched her fists and her face and eyes held anger. "what are you going to do?" mackenzie asked.
"cortney is my best friend, i am not letting anyone
walk all over her and hurt her like that, they
have no idea of what i'm capable of"
