chase stood right there.
"what do you want." i asked
"you. i want you back." he came inside
"that's not how things work."
i walked away from him and he followed. he grabbed my hand but i moved it away.
"jasmine, come on!"
"what, chase?!"
"i'm sorry. i don't want to lose you."
"you kinda already did."
i walked upstairs and he followed.
"jasmine! stop walking away!"
"i don't want to argue with you!"
he ran up to me and smashed his lips against mine. i pulled away and looked in his eyes. he was broken, but so was i.

i kissed him again and he pushed me on the bed. i pushed him off of me.
"i don't want to make up like this."
"oh my god, jasmine!"
"what, chase! you complain about me being a whore yet you always want to sleep with me!"
he stood there dumbfounded.
"you're right." he whispered
"i think it's better if we stay as friends."
he scoffed and walked out of my room. i hated saying that but i wanted some time to think about us. he slammed my front door and i heard his car start up then drive away. i started to cry. i hated this feeling. the feeling of losing someone i loved dearly. even though we never said i love you to each other, i really did love him.

i packed up the rest of my stuff which took about an hour. i heard a knock on my door. i was confused but walked downstairs and looked out the window. it was all the boys. as in jaden, anthony, elmo, drayke, payton, even chase. i opened the door
"uh?" i said
"we wanted to say bye before you left to new york." jaden said
"uh i don't leave until friday?"
"bruh you said she was leaving tomorrow morning." jaden said to anthony.
i awkwardly laughed and closed the door. what the fuck was that?
"wait! we aren't finished!" jaden called
"what?" i asked opening the door
"fuck you whore!" they all said throwing pies in my face.

i woke up on my bed. what kind of dream was that? it felt so real. i guess i had fell asleep from crying. i decided to go downstairs to grab a snack. i grabbed a jar of peanut butter with a spoon and sat down at the island. i scooped up pb while i scrolled through instagram. i noticed that chase deleted the post but everyone still knew.

i looked at the time and it was 9:30. i had to go to bed soon for school. i put away the spoon and pb. i went upstairs, did my night routine, then eventually passed out around 10:15. i woke up to my alarm. it was 5:30. i went into my bathroom and did my morning routine. i then threw on an oversized hoodie with ripped jeans and checkered vans. i went downstairs and heard a honk coming from outside. i looked out the window and saw draykes car. i grabbed my backpack and walked up to his door.
"why are you here?" i asked
"i'm going to drive you to school duh."
"um. okay."
i hopped in and the car ride was silent. my anxiety was getting really bad as soon as we got closer to the school.
"don't worry, jazz. everything will be okay." drayke said
"nothing will be okay. my reputation is 'biggest whore of the school'."
"you're not a whore and you definitely aren't the biggest one."
i rolled my eyes. we arrived and i jumped out. i thanked drayke for the ride then we headed different directions. everyone was staring at me. i didn't let it phase me though.

i reached math class and went inside.
"whore." someone mumbled
i looked and saw that it was danielle.
"don't make me break your nose again."
"are you threatening me?"
"well what does it look like?" i said
i walked over to my seat. erick was staring at me.
"what, bitchass?" i said
"you must be really good in bed if you have all those hoes."
"fuck off, morales."
i looked up and saw chase walk through the door. we made eye contact which made me look away instantly. god, i missed him.

math ended and i got up to leave when i felt a hand on my shoulder. i turned around and saw chase.
"what?" i asked nervously
"i missed you."
"mhm."
i walked away from him and entered my english class. i wanted chase to leave me alone until i got over him. i sat down and saw payton resting his head on his hand.
"you okay?" i asked
"fuck chase. he ruined everything between me and avani."
"i'm sorry."
"it's not your fault. i should've known that she didn't like me."
"she seemed interested in you."
"girls are confusing." he looked at me
"i don't know man." i shrugged
the teacher walked in so i took out my notebook.
"if it makes you feel better, chase fucked everything up between me and him." i whispered
"oh. i'm sorry about that. i guess we both got fucked over."
"mhm."
"wanna sit by me at lunch?"
"of course."

english ended so payton and i walked over to the cafeteria. i sat down next to him and anthony. all the boys were staring at me.
"surprised she hasn't slept with anthony yet." griffin whispered to noen
"you know what. fuck off. i didn't ask for your fucking opinion." i yelled
"and i thought we were friends. i thought friends didn't judge each other." i continued
everyone was silent. neither anthony nor payton backed me up. i was embarrassed and wanted to cry. i stood up and walked over to avani. i sat down next to her.
"hey, girly!" she said
"hey, cutie."
"everything okay between all you guys?"
"not really. but hopefully things will get better."
she nodded and continued to eat. we talked for a little while. i think i made a new best friend.

school ended a few hours later and i walked across the parking lot to get home easier.
"aye, jazz!"
i turned around and saw payton.
"what's up?"
"why are you mad at us?"
"why wouldn't i be? griffin fucking called me out and you guys didn't do anything."
"it doesn't give you the right to sit next to avani." he said
"i can do whatever the fuck i want, payton!"
i shoved him and turned around so i could leave but he grabbed my arm.
"what are you gonna do, payton? hit me in the head with a rock again? cause i guess that's what little bitches like you do."
i moved my arm away from him and walked home. honestly, i was glad i was moving.

i made it to my house and walked inside. i ran up the stairs and into my bedroom. i threw my backpack on the floor and flopped onto my bed. i heard banging on my front door which made me jump. i ran down the stairs and looked out the peephole. no one was there. i opened up the door.
"boo!"
i jumped and saw that it was avani.
"oh my god! you fucking scared me!"
"ahaha. wanna hangout?" she asked
"sure!"
i shut the front door and walked with her. we walked on the sidewalk beside her, it was pretty awkward.
"so. how's everything between you and payton?" i asked
"oh. he doesn't talk to me or chase anymore."
"i mean, you do understand where he's coming from right?"
"not really."
"avani. he's liked you for months and you kinda lead him on then fucked him over."
"oh."
she looked down and i wrapped my arm around her.
"you know what! fuck boys! we don't need them."
"that's the spirit." avani laughed
i kinda liked avani. especially since the kiss happened. i looked over at her and she looked back at me. and we kissed...
