Dre and 'the boys' sat around the table eating their food, as from a distance three girls walked towards their table. "Hey guys." they all said simultaneously. Dre looked up and gave a bright smile followed by a wink. Hollie set her lunch tray down on the table as she took her seat next to Andre and Jessica sat down right after her and Andre finished glaring at each other and Rosie took her seat next to Jessica. Jessica was quite the looker with her jet black hair, light chocolate skin and big brown eyes , while Rosie had creamy white skin with red flaming hair and hazel green eyes.
Jameel unconsciously stared at Jessica. He was too distracted and unaware to hear that Ian was talking to him. "Bro, are you even listening?" that seemed to snap him out of it, as he looked up everyone was staring at him. He smiled sheepishly, "No."
Ian smirked and took this for an opportunity. "Maybe if you hadn't been drooling over Jessica while I was talking to you, you could have actually heard the conversation at this table."
Jessica rolled her eyes, while the rest of the table snickered. Jameel smirked at her while his chin rested on his fists as he wiggled his eyebrows at her. She rolled her eyes once more, everyone laughed at their little show. Andre got captivated upon hearing Hollie's laugh.
"So what are you talking about?" Jameel asked. "Well Jessica here, was telling us about her country."
"Her country? I thought she's African American?" he asked turning his head to her. "No, I'm African African." she looked at Rosie with a bored expression, "and I thought he knew this." with this Rosie laughed. Jessica rolled her eyes. "What's up with her rolling her eyes?" this question was diverted to Ian.
He shrugged "Maybe it's an 'African African' thing."
"Anyways." Hollie said stretching the word. Trying to change the subject., "anything new, Cabe, Gabe? You've been awfully quiet. Any news?" the twins stared at each other then to Hollie. Cabe shrugged. "Honestly nothing. Ma's still sick though." he poked his food. "Oh I'm so sorry babe. If there is anything I can do, please tell me." Rosie offered her boyfriend. You could say that Hollie brought them together. They've been together for a year and a half now. Cabe stared at her, he brought his hand and caressed her cheek, giving her a small smile. "It's alright babe."
Jessica rolled her eyes at their cheesiness, but deep down she wanted something like that or at least some love. "Seriously what's up with you and rolling your eyes?" Jameel commented. Jessica scoffed. "Are you jealous?" she rose her eyebrow at Ian. "That you don't have anything like that, ever since Chad?" she felt sad upon hearing his name. "Ian that's enough." Hollie said but he ignored her. "It's not our fault you think everyone's love life is as crappy as yours. Get over it. " "Woah! Ian's on fire today. Telling off everyone like that. Applause applause." Gabe added dramatically. She had enough of Ian's words, even though they were true. She picked up her glass of water and threw it at him. "Fuck off. " she walked off. 'The audacity. I wouldn't bring up Chelsea.'
"Jess! Hold up!" Jameel called. But Jessica ignored him and walked faster. When she rounded the corner she was pulled back. "What do you want Jameel?" she hissed. "Can we just talk?" he asked turning her around to face him. "Talk about what Jameel? How he is so right? That I am jealous of something that they have, what you all have? If that's the case, let's not talk." she tried walking away but he held her back. "Why do you do that? Shut people out? Why? Honestly Jessie, I don't get you."
"I wouldn't expect you to." he stared at her. "Why?" he asked taking a step forward. "You are his best friend. I wouldn't think you would care. And the rumor."
"We were best friends. And the rumor is plain bullshit." she narrowed her eyes. "Yeah for you it's 'plain bullshit', at least you don't get pushed into the lockers for it. Hollie still thinks that the letters I received were love letters, but honestly they're threats. "
"Honestly, they're all idiots to believe that rumor. Your gorgeous Jessie. He was an idiot. You need to stop holding yourself back from being loved. " with that he closed the gap. His soft pink lips were on her full ones.
Jessica was too shocked to react, her eyes were wide opened. He pulled back and turned around, walking away. As he walked he met Hollie on the way. "What happened?" he shrugged and walked off. Hollie stood in front of Jessica. "What happened?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

Andre kissed Hollie as he dropped her off. He headed back home. As he entered his home, his big brother, August, ran down the stairs. "Hey bro." he greeted. "What up?"
"Oh nothing, dad left for Manchester, mom's home early, oh and you have a guest and she's staying over for dinner." he said nonchalantly. "Who?"
"Hello Andre." a British accent said, a too familiar voice. He turned around.

Ooh ooh ooh. What's the rumor?
