"Goodmorning!" Gemma burst into my room. I groaned and pulled the duvet over my head. "Wake up!" She pulled the covers. I fought back and didn't let her uncover me. "Matt said he needed to talk to all of us." She said. I pushed the duvet off of me and stood up on my bed. "About what?" I ask even though I already knew.

"I don't know," She shruged. "Oh," I replied, "Where did you and Shawn go?" "We were running in the sprinklers in the Beverly Hill homes." She giggled. "What the hell,Gemma?!" I threw my pillow at her and burst out in laughter.

"No, I'm kidding those are my freaking goals." I say. "Are you guys dating yet?" "No," she frowned. "Yet," I add. "Hopefully," She smiles. "Why are we talking in one word sentences?" I furrow my eyebrows and smile. "I don't know." she laughs.

"I need to get ready." I slump. "You do, it's already ten." Said Gemma. "What the fuck are you on? It's ten." I tell her. "Nothing! Matt told us to meet him at the park at eleven." She picked on her nails. How come he didn't tell me this himself? I stand up and walk to my closet.

I pick out coral sweater, black leggings and my black boots. I walk to the restroom and change, brush my teeth and do my makeup and hair. "Ready," I call to Gemma who was sitting on my bed on her phone. "Alright, let's go." She says and gets up.

I say goodbye to my parents and head outside with Gemma. "I need a car," I laugh. "You need a job too," She smiles. "At least, part time for your car." "Ugh, I know. I'll apply for that one boutique that's opening at the mall." I purse my lips. "I'll apply with you." She laughs.

I look at the palm trees all around us. The crisp December wind blowing in our hair. Gem parks on a curb next to the small park. We walk out and I immediately see Andrea, Mahogany, Cam, Nash, Taylor, Hayes, and Matt waiting for us.

"I'm so damn nervous," I admit. "Why?" Gem asks and I don't reply.

We approach them and I sit down on the bench. "What's your big announcement Espinosa?" smirks Taylor. I feel my insides spin and I can swear I can puke any moment now.

"Joanna and I," Matt says ad I bend over the bench. "Oh shit, Jo are you ok?" asks Hayes. I just puked in front of all of them. "I'm fine." I lie. Taylor rushes over to me and puts his hand on mine and Matt sits next to me and puts his arm around me.

"You sure?" Tay asks. "Yeah." I say. "Alright go on Matthew." Taylor motions towards him. "So well um you might have seen it Tay, the seventeen mag tweet." Matt explains and Tay nods. "Well um me and Joanna decided to pretend to date." He says and I choke.

"What?!" Yells Taylor and Hayes. The rest are standing there with wide eyes and opened mouths. I feel my breathing increase. "It's fake guys." Matt reminds them. I notice the disappointment in Hayes' face and I just want to go hug him. "I don't give a fuck! I was also spotted with her that doesn't make you the only damn option!" Taylor yells and I could see his face getting red. "I was the only one at the time! Plus, I bet I will do a much better job at being a fake boyfriend than you manwhore!" Matt shot back.

"Fucking dick!" Tay swung at him. I started to panic. Cam and Nash separate the two teenagers acting like cave men. "Stop!" I yell. "Why Jo?" Hayes voice cracks. "It's fake," I sigh. "Hayes please," tears threatening to fall.

"What happened to the kiss?the scars? the journal?" His eyes glossy. "We can still do that." I softly smile through fallen tears.

"No Jo, I can't share you." He wipes some tears with his shirt.
