~Tuesday~

-Preston's POV-

"Have a good day mother." I shouted back into the house as I ran out onto the pavement.

I was on my way to school when I noticed that the front of the school wasn't packed with people, like it was yesterday. But I did see one person. Quickly speed walking over to them I noticed that I know this person.

It was Jerome.

"Hey, Jerome!" I yelled getting closer. He froze for a second and scanned the area but loosened up when he noticed it was me.

"Hey." He moped.

"What's up? Where is everyone?" I asked.

"It's a holiday today." He sighed.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked as we wondered outside of the school.

"Nothing."

"You sure?" I pushed, he didn't look ok, like at all.

"I....... Nah, it's fine." You're lying to me Jerome. "So, what are you up to for the rest of the day, now that you know there's no school." He chuckled.

"Oh, I don't know. I can't really go back home." I shrugged, sitting down on the edge of the footpath.

"You wanna come check out the crib?" Jerome asked me as he stood infront of me.

"Sure!" I replied jumping up off the curb and standing next to Jerome. "But only if you tell me whats wrong with you." I continued beginning to walk down the side walk with Jerome walking next to me.

He let out a moan of frustration then sighed. "Fine." He answered bluntly. "I need to get it off my chest anyway." He continued as we walked.

"Ok let me hear it." I told him. Come on Jerome, what's wrong?

"I-I-I.......... You have to promise not to tell anyone!" He strictly told me, turning to look at me. I just nodded in agreement and gestured with my hand for him to continue. "I think Mitch is cheating on me." He sighed.

"Whoa, really?" I was shocked. "I mean I haven't know you two for that long but you seem real close." I stated.

"Yeah we are or at least we were. But he promised it's different this time." Jerome explained.

"Wait, this time?"

"Yeah, he's cheated on me before."

All I could do was nod, I couldn't think of anything else to say. We continued the next few minutes in silence.

Don't ask who it was Preston. I don't know how he'll react.

"So, who did he cheat on you with?" Damn it Preston! Mental face palming, he gave a little chuckle before replying.

"Kaydee." I swear my jaw dropped to the floor. KAYDEE!

"That bitch?!" I yelled maybe a little to loud.

"Yeah. He was acting weird and now he's acting like that again." Jerome chuckled. How is this funny to him? I thought as I stared at him.

"He swears that he listened, when we were sorting the whole thing out. But I don't know if he did." Jerome continued to mope.

"Woah." Was all that came out of my mouth.

"Yeah, I honestly don't mind if he didn't though."

"What?! Why?!" I yelled like he had done something wrong.

"Cause I just love the sound of his voice." He replied staring up at the blue sky.

I've never been cheated on before, I've never been in a relationship come to think of it, so I have no idea how to help him. Hell I don't even know if I can!

"But I thought he was the good guy?" I asked sounding confused.

"Nah, he lemon juices his white lies." He chuckled. What? Does that mean he hides his lies?

"But?" I asked hoping he wasn't finished.

"But I see them at sunrise." Ok, so you see them how he really is? We walked for another few minutes in silence. "We're here." Jerome said walking up to the door of what looked like a mansion.

"Whoa, you live here?" I questioned walking up to the door.

"Yeah!" I heard a voice from inside yell.

"And you have a maid!" I shouted running into the house and leaving Jerome in my dust.

"MAID!?" They yelled again sounding pretty pissed off. I turned the corner and saw Eyelyn giving me the stink eye. Aubrey was sitting with Eyelyn at the bench.

"Hey Preston." Aubrey giggled as I looked around the house. Picking up the odd thing here and there.

"Where's Mitch?" Jerome asked walking over to the fridge and getting water out. He chucked me a bottle and leant on the bench to talk to Aubrey and Eyelyn.

"He said he was going went out." Eyelyn answered looking to Aubrey for reassurance.

"Oh, Vikk?" He continued.

"With Lachlan." Aubrey replied showing Eyelyn something on her phone. I decided to walk over to the bench and lean on it next to Jerome so I was more part of the conversation.

"Right, Abigail?" Jerome continued.

"Choir practice." Eyelyn sighed.

"Addison?" I asked finally contributing.

"Netball." Aubrey said looking up from her phone.

"Rob?" I asked.

"At his house recording." Jerome informed me.

"Oh." Deflating a little bit more into the bench. All three of them looked at me with smirks on their faces. "What?" I asked confused. Why are they all looking at me?

"Does somebody have a wee crush?" They all asked in unison.

"PHUSHTTTT, NOOOOO!" They all just laughed.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter. By the way this chapter has a hidden song in it. That is why the book is called notes. Can you figure out what song?

By the way (I have to tell someone this.) My day has been super busy so I'm sorry if this isn't my best work but I needed to write tonight so here it is. Like I was messaging my friend before and I was making spelling errors all over the place.

So how has your day been?
