25.

Sami's POV

I saw that Josh sent me something, but I didn't care. Right now, my focus was on Trevor. I wanted to make sure that him and Mabel would never date ever again. So for the time being, Josh was kind of like a side job.

"Your phone beeped" Bubba said, staring directly at it. It looked almost as if she was trying to decipher what Josh sent. It appeared to be a video, but I wouldn't be able to clearly see it unless I opened it. I rolled my eyes. "It's probably just a tiktok or something" I said, "Josh always sends me those."

Mabel's POV

The walk to school was pretty quick. Josh didn't live that far, but we also spent most of the time racing there so it only took about ten minutes tops. When we got there, I had to take out my student ID in order to enter.

Luckily our school wasn't super strict. We didn't have to go to the office before entering like most schools. We could come in at anytime, and nobody would really know. We only had IDs because of the risk of a school shooting happening. The doors wouldn't open to anybody that didn't have a proper school ID.

When we go inside, we went down the west wing, because teachers typically aren't there. Josh wanted to say hi to his friends, so I decided to come along. People seeing Josh and I in the hallway together would be great. It would indicate that we made up.

Sami's POV

The bell rang indicating school was over. "Finally" I said as I rolled my eyes. Bethany laughed, "school isn't even bad for us" she said, "it's the nerd and the rejects who should be saying that." She was right, but I never admit when I'm wrong, so all I did was laugh.

Bethany and I left the gym so that we could meet up with the girls at my locker. I didn't expect to see Josh since he didn't come to school today. Typically I would bombard him with a million texts, but I decided to just chill for a little bit. It was okay though, because that means I could flirt with whoever, all day.

Bubba's POV

As the girls and I waited for Sami and Bethany at Sami's locker, we saw Mabel and Josh begin walking towards us. One of the exits was down the hall from us, so they were clearly just leaving school. However, I don't remember seeing them at all today.

"Is it me, or were they not at school today?" I asked, hoping that someone would agree with me. Miranda nodded, "yeah they weren't. They must've just came to pick something up or something, but why are they together?"

I completely forgot about the incident with Mabel, Josh and I a few weeks back. On top of that, Josh knows that Sami wouldn't like that. As Josh and Mabel came closer, I studied her. She was wearing a pink crop top, and some jean shorts. She looked nothing like the Mabel I'd known.

I shrugged, "I don't know, but we've got to tell Sami." Miranda and Bella both nodded their heads, as Mabel walked right by us. I watched her, and saw that she had a hickey on her neck.

My eyes went wide, "did anybody else see that?" I asked. "See what?" Bella replied, "her terrible choice of footwear?" Miranda laughed and I cracked a smile, "no, she has a hickey on her neck. I think she did something with Josh" I said, returning back to my serious state.

"Why would she do that?" Bella asked, clearly not seeming to connect the dots. Miranda looked at Bella like she was dumb, "Sami fucked her man, does that ring a bell?"

Bella nodded, "oh yeah" and Miranda and I looked at her for a second, waiting for her to think it through. "Oh shit!" she exclaimed once she did, "we've got to tell Sami!" Miranda and I laughed, Bella's stupidity was funny.

Just then, Sami and Bethany came walking up to us. Sami seemed to be in a jolly mood, so I'm assuming she didn't see thing one and thing two together. "Hey guys, what's up?" she asked.

Bella, Miranda and I all looked at each other. "Who's gonna tell her?" Bella awkwardly asked aloud. I facepalmed upon Bella's question, "why don't you?" I asked. Sami's eyebrows furrowed and her face showed confusion, "tell me what?" she asked.

"Well" Miranda began, "we saw something that you might not be so fond of." Sami gasped, "did they take lemon water from the vending machines again?" she asked, confident that we were talking about that. "Yes" Miranda said, "but what we saw was worst than that."

Sami raised an eyebrow as Miranda looked over at me, silently asking me to finish the rest of what we were trying to say. I nodded and took a deep breath. "Mabel and Josh came to school. While we waited for you, they were in the hallway, walking together" I said, " and Mabel had a hickey on her neck" Miranda said, before I could.

Sami's face became as red as a tomato, in just seconds. "So you're telling me that Mabel has a hickey, from Josh?" she asked, anger evident in her voice. I nodded, "unless her and Trevor got back in contact, then yeah it has to be from Josh."

Sami's POV

I was furious, why does Mabel get a hickey? Josh never gave me one. I was almost confident that it was from him, but I was in denial so I wouldn't believe it until I had proof.

"Hey, did you ever check out what Josh sent you?" Bubba asked me, interrupting my thoughts. I shook my head no, "I guess I'll just open it now" I said with lack of enthusiasm.

The girls circled around me as we looked at the video that Josh sent me. It was him and Mabel.

Having sex.

"I'm gonna be sick" I said, as I handed my phone to Bubba and ran past people to the bathroom.

Bubba's POV

Mabel lost her virginity before me? To one of the hottest guys in school? What?

The girls and I followed Sami to the bathroom, where she was crying like she just lost a family member or something. Luckily, nobody else was in the bathroom so it didn't matter.

"It's okay Sami" Bethany said, "we can just get her back. Sami sobbed even harder, "how do I get her back from this? The whole objective from the start was to rub in the fact that Josh was mine, and she'll never have him" she said.

"Well" Miranda began, "that part is out the window, but you can still expose them." We all looked at Miranda in confusion. "It Sami posts the video on her social media, she'll get in trouble. That's child pornography" I said.

"Well, yeah, but I wasn't necessarily thinking that. We have an assembly next week. This may be a crazy hard task, but we can try to break into the principles office the day of and hack his computer" Miranda said.

"So, we put the video in the presentation?" Sami asked, and Miranda nodded her head. "This is a team effort though, we'll need all aboard for this. We'll need a lot of distractions for this" Miranda said.

Sami looked at us, "what do you guys say?" she asked, sniffling. "Are we gonna ruin Mabel's rep or not?" The girls and I all looked at each other and jumped up and down. "Yes!" we exclaimed, "yes!"
