~ Timeskip 4 weeks ~

I was sitting at a table with a couple other cheerleaders as i was cutting out hearts on a pink paper. "Sheri, i am so sorry, but those hearts look like butts." Jessica said while laughing and putting her heart shaped glasses on her face. Me and Jessica had become disstant for some reason. I dont know why we've become distant, but i missed her. "Ashley your hearts look great." One girl who was a freshman pointed out. I thanked her and looked down at the hearts i had already cut out. I laughed to myself because the number was ironic. 2. "2 hearts for 2 guys." Jessica said while pointing her scissors to the hearts i had cut out. She had read my mind. "Oh shut up." i said while laughing. She was right though. Even if i loved Monty i couldnt deny my feelings for Scott.

I walked out of fifth period to my locker with a smile on my face, i would be missing the next three periods to calculate students dollar valentines papers. When i opened my locker a folded piece of paper fell out. I opened it and my blood ran cold. It was a picture of me and Scott kissing. I quickly folded the paper back up and looked around. Everyone was engaged in there own conversations. I then looked on the back and saw a message, break up with monty or this gets out ~ xoxo. Tears filled my eyes as i stuffed the paper in my bag. I closed my locker and walked to the gym, thoughts running through my head of who could have taken the picture. Then it clicked. Who was always carrying around a camera and sticking there nose into other peoples buissness. "Tyler fucking Down." i mumbled under my breath as i sat down in a chair. "What was that Ash?" Jessica asked as she was calculating a random guys dollar valentine. "Oh nothing just some homework i forgot to do." i lied. I felt bad for lying to her but no one could know. Not even my best friend. "Ok, if you need help just give me a call." she said while smiling at me. I smiled back and saw the person who couldnt have come at a worse time. "Ashley, good to see you." Amy said while handing me her survey. "Yeah, sure" i mumbled. I calculated her results and they started to print. I took the hot paper from the printer and looked at it for a second. My mouth gaped open as i saw Montys name appear as the first choice. As i handed the paper to her she smirked and walked away, not saying a word to me. I rolled my eyes and thought "its just a stupid test". I then decided to take the test for myself when another student came up to me. By the end of fifth period i was printing out my results and was exited to see who i got, i had a feeling that Monty would be first on the list. I stared at the paper and i felt my cheekes grow hot. the paper read:

1.Scott R.
2.Jeffery A.
3.Montgomery D.
4.Bryce W.
5.Marcus C.

I couldnt belive what i was seeing. Monty was the third choice? And Scott was the first? I ripped the paper and threw it in the trash can under the table i was sitting at. Like i said before, it was just a stupid test. Right?

"Who is it?" Monty said as he covered my eyes with his hands. I was at my open locker so i got a bit surprised when i heard him speak. "Hmmmm, Clay?" i said and laughed. "Babe" he said with a suprised expression taking his hands of my face. "Im kidding Mont." I said laughing while closing my locker. "Ok good, because i actully thought you thought i was Corey." He laughed while leaning against the lockers next to mine. "Its Clay babe." I said while adjusting my backpack on my back." "Yeah, whatever" he sighed and pulled me by my waist towards him. I giggled and gave into his touch. I was inches away from his face when we were rudely interrupted by the one and only Amy fucking Ross. "Sorry to inturupt you two." she said as she plastered a fake smile on her face. "Whats up Amy?" Monty said in a cheerful tone. I was shocked that he was actully being nice to her, especially after what she did. "Well i just wanted to ask Ashley if she got the note i sent her?" she said with a sly smirk on her face. How did i not realize sooner, it was her who was black mailing me. "Yeah i did. I said while looking down at my feet and pulling away from Montys grasp. "Whats going on?" he said with a confused look on his face. "Nothing" i said and immidialaty placed a fake smile on my face. Amy knew i didnt want Monty to know about me and Scott so she was sure i would keep my mouth shut. And she wasnt wrong. The bell sounded and Monty went to class. "You have two days." she said and walked down the hall without another word. I had to talk to Scott about this, he was envloved in it too after all.

"Come in" i said while moving away from the door frame so Scott could come in. "What did you want to talk about?" he said while plopping himself on the couch. "This" i said, and held out the paper to him. His eyes widened and he grabbed the picture from my hand. "Holy shit" he said. He then looked on the back of the picture and back up at me. "Im so fucking sorry Ash, this is all my fault. If i hadnt kissed you none of this would have happened." "its not just you Scott, we are both at fault for this." i replied while putting my hand on his knee. He smiled in return and we both stared at each other for what seemed like hours until I pulled my hand away and looked back at the picture and grabbed it. "What are we gonna do about this though." i said. "Well who do you think took it?" Scott responded. "Tyler Down." i said with anger in my voice. The little bastard had gotten together with Amy to ruin my reputation. "I kinda guessed." he shrugged. "Scott do you not understand what this could do to us? I would be slut shamed for the rest of my time at Liberty and you, until Monty found you, would be a dead man walking." I said while sitting on the coffee table across from him. He sighed and grabbed the picture back, examining it. "Do you regret it?" he said. I looked at him but his eyes where still glued to the picture. "Not really." I said, which caught his attention. The moment was ruined by my phone buzzing in my pocket. I took it out and got a text from Monty which read to meet him at the park in 10. I smiled and put my phone back in my pocket. "Sorry Scott i have to meet up with Monty." I said while getting my car keys. "Oh ok" he said also getting up. "What are we gonna do about this?" he added while holding up the picture. "We'll figure it out." I responded while showing him out and getting into my car. I turned my key into the ignition and sped off to the park.
