As we pull up to the school I can feel Phoebe bouncing her leg next to me; it hasn't stopped since we got into the car. She says that she doesn't care what people are going to say about us but I can tell she is nervous. I just hope that we can shield her from as much as possible.

Gage climbs out of the car and holds a hand out for her as I get out on my side. Phoebe takes his hand, slides out, and straightens her clothes as she stands fully. When I reach them I wrap my arm around her shoulders. A few people have noticed that we are both touching her and are starting to stare. I lock eyes with Gage over Phoebe's  head; the look on his face tells me he's seen the looks we are getting. Thankfully Phoebe hasn't noticed because she is too busy chatting with Ashlyn.

"I'm glad you're mom didn't lose her mind last night." Ashlyn says.

"Yeah me too. She took it way better than I thought. She was kinda rough on the boys but it could have been worse." Phoebe replies.

"She wasn't rough on us. She just kinda laid down some rules." I speak as I try to stop paying attention to the people around us and turn back to my girl.

"If that's what you wanna call it then we will." Phoebe laughs out.

"Come on let's head towards class princess. You're hand is getting cold." Gage says after her laughter ends.

As we walk towards the front entrance heads start to turn to follow our movement and this time Phoebe notices but doesn't say anything. We make it to class and sit down without anything more than sideways glances.

"Well that was interesting." Phoebe says sitting down in her seat between us, letting out a shaky breath.

"It went better than I thought it would. No one stopped us. We just got some weird looks." I whisper softly as I put my arm over the back of her chair and rub her back.

"Yeah but sooner or later someone is gonna ask what we are." She sighs. "I have no problem telling people we are together, I just don't have patience for people I don't know passing judgement on us.

"Everything will be okay." Gage reassures her.

Our first class goes by quickly even though I notice a few glances landing on us. As class ends all three of us stand and I give her a peck on the cheek when her and Gage turn to head to their next class.

By lunch the word of how cozy the three of us are seems to have spread through the school but no one has asked us about it. We are all sitting at our lunch table talking among ourselves when there is a loud slap on the table next to us. Everyone at the table jumps and we turn our heads towards the sound. A very angry Alison is standing there glaring darts at me, Gage, and Phoebe.

"Are you fucking serious? She is good enough for you two to date but I'm not. Look at her and look at me. I have curves that any guy would love to touch and she is just plain fat. I don't get it." Alison yells as the entire cafeteria turns to look at us, including the teachers on lunch duty.

"Back off Alison!" I hiss.

"This is none of your business." Gage adds.

"No it is! I was the first girl you shared! I don't understand why she is more special than me!" She fusses back at us and then turns her attention to Phoebe. "Enjoy this whole thing while you can bitch. I will make your life a living hell. I will break you. I always get what I want. And I want them!"

At this point I am ready to rip Alison's head off. I start to stand to make her move away but Phoebe places her hand on my thigh and pushes down right before she begins to speak.

"Let's get something straight Alison; I am not scared of you, nor am I jealous. If they wanted you, they would be with you. I understand that you think you are better than me in every way but you don't know jack shit about me. I suggest you turn around and go back to where ever you came from before I make you."

"You can't make me do anything! I'm not going anywhere. There is no way you satisfy them. I know what it takes to do that and you won't be able to keep up! They will come back to me!" Alison snaps back. The look on Phoebe's face is one of pure anger. I go to grab her hand but she is up and moving towards Alison before I can.

"Oh sweetie, I gave you a chance, I really did. They haven't fucked you in what three years? Wanna know how long it's been for me, less than two days. I will say it again and this is the last time I will say it. If they wanted to be with you, they would. Now back the fuck off!" She hisses while moving closer to Alison.

When Phoebe gets within arms reach, Alison rears her hand back to hit her. Me and Gage are up as soon as we realize what's she's trying to do but our girl has herself covered.

When Alison swings her hand, Phoebe leans back, causing her to miss. The force of Alison's swing forces her to lean forward and Phoebe takes the opportunity to throw a punch straight into Alison's nose. Alison lets out a scream and grabs her nose, which is now pouring blood. I grab Phoebe by the waist and pull her backwards behind Gage and I, making a wall between the two girls. It seems that the teachers that have been watching the whole thing finally snap back into reality and rush towards us.

When they reach us one teacher pulls Alison away and heads towards the office with her. The other teacher looks me and Gage up and down before motioning for us to move aside. He make eye contact with Phoebe and tells her that if she has any more problems with Alison to go to the office instead of fighting back. He also told her that she wasn't going to get into trouble because she was defending herself before he walks away.

Phoebe goes to sit back down but I stop her and pull her towards the exit of the cafeteria with Gage right behind us. She was sexy as hell arguing with Alison to defend our relationship. I'm hard as hell from watching her, and judging by the fact that Gage ran out behind us he is too. School is about to get cut short for the day.
