"there she goes again.god,i hate that bitch.pretty sure she's trying to get ruel into her bra,too." krissa whispers to me as we noticed loren walk out of ruel's office.

"hey,calm down." i say.

"what?she did the same thing justin the first time we were here."

"ruel's not justin."

"boys will be boys." she shrugged,then walked to her designated position.

krissa doesn't know about what happened that night with me and ruel.i didn't think she needed to know.

i mean, what's there to really tell her?nothing even happened.

we made out.

like,it was nothing,really.

we made out good.

"jadeybear,hey." she smiles at me as she sits next to me ,preparing for a scene.

"hey,where have you been?"

"uh,you know..places." she winks at me then motions to ruel who was just heading up to his spot where he controls the lighting and everything.

"he's a wild card." she whispers.

a what?!

what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

did you like,what--fuck in the office?!

god,krissa was right.

boys will be boys.

i should've seen this coming.

"and,action!" justin yells.

loren gray,huh?

ruel

rehearsals just ended,and i'm getting really frustrated with the shawn was treating jade.

throughout the day i can see them becoming closer.

since when did you socialize with other casts,jade?

or are you just trying to make me jealous?

nice try,babe.but i'm still keeping my eye on you.i'm really good with pretending not to care,too.

today i'm heading to marcus' cafe.
i can't take it anymore,i need some help.

"good evening sir,how may i help you?"

"is marcus around?" i asked the waitress.

"yes,sir.why?"

"i need to talk to him."

"oh my god,did we get your order wrong?im so sorry we'll just give you another one." she says, obviously nervous.

"no no,i just got here.i just need to talk to him.i'm a friend."

"pretty boy!" i heard his voice approach me.

"marcus."

wow,never thought i'd be happy to see him again.

we took a seat further into the room where there wasn't much people.

"i need your help."
