chapter 2

chloe's pov:

it was first period and i was already dreading setting by that flirt, she literally has no filter. drew actually came in on time which is very unlike her. "missed me, love?" she asked. "as if!" i grunted, she chucked. "you're too cute" she told me and slightly gripped my cheek, i slapped her hand away. "okay class, im giving you a week to finish your project with your partner" the teacher told us. "am i coming over to yours?" drew asked. "i guess, here is my number, i will text you my address after school" i spoke, im only being nice to her because i need a good grades. "awe, chloe! if you just wanted my number you could of just asked" drew exclaimed. "oh hush myers, this is nothing but a project" i muttered.

huxley's pov:

as aria and i was joking around and laughing i asked her, "do you wanna hang after school?" she looked down and somewhat sad. "uh, i can't but maybe tomorrow?" she spoke low. "sounds good to me" i told her.

arrow's pov:

as i moped down the hall thinking to myself, i love bliss, right? yes! i do, i have to. as my thoughts deepened, someone bumped into me. "hey, watch out" i spoke while looking up. it was forrest, a tall purple haired guy with black eyes. he stood over me, "ah, it's one of the 5. arrow, right?" he asked, this is strange, he never speaks to anyone. "uh, yeah?" i mumbled. "mmm, i always thought you was the most attractive one out of the group... i guess im still right" he admitted. he thinks im attracted? my cheeks got red. why am i blushing? "see ya later, arrow" he said in a low voice. my stomach felt off, why do i feel this way?

royalty's pov:

it was the end of the day and i was putting my things in my locker, then a guy slammed my locker door. i looked up seeing the biggest dick in the school, brett. "hey hot stuff" he flirted. "brett" i mumbled. he bit his lip and touched my hip. "get off me, dick" i smacked his hand away. he slammed me in the lockers and pinned me down. "you don't know how bad i want you" he whispered in my ear. i was about to knee him in the balls but someone punched him. he fell to the ground as blood went down his nose. "p-parker?" brett stuttered. "are you okay, royalty?" he asked me. i looked over at brett and punched him again and smiled at parker. "im great" i laughed and walked off.

parker caught up to me. "let me walk you home" he suggested. "uh, you're good" i replied. "please" he went on. "fine, but this is a one time thing" i told him, he smiled happily.
"sooo, has brett always have eyes on you?" parker asked me. i rolled my eyes. "more like he just wants to fuck me" i admitted, "it's what ever male wants to do with me" i added and looked down on the side walk. parker stopped me and forced me to look at him. "royalty, im sure you'll find someone that will love you not just for your body but for your mind" parker said to me looking deep into my eyes. he was the first guy that has ever told me that. "erm, thank you?" i muttered then we continued to walk.

we arrived at huxley's house. "you live here?" parker asked me. "nope, im here to hang with the gang. wanna join?" i asked. "um, i would love to, it's such an honor to hang with you guys" he overdramatized. we went into hux's basement seeing bliss and arrow making out while hux was on his phone. "hey guys" i spoke, "this is parker and he'll be joining us today" i added. "yo, im huxley" hux said and waved. "im.... bliss" she muffled in each kiss. "that's arrow" i spoke for him. "nice group you got here" parker laughed. "drew is over at chole's house, she was as pretty excited about it" huxley told us. "oh, isn't it that cheerleader that she has a crush on?" i asked, huxley nodded yes. "wait, drew likes chole? i thought she was a flirt to everyone?" parker said. "oh, she totally is a flirt but she literally always talks about chole" huxley admitted.

drew's pov:

i arrived at choles house and it was huge. i knocked on her door. "hey- oh it's you. come in" chole mumbled. "you have a nice house" i told her. "thanks, we have a personal designer for our home" chole showed off. "erm, can i put my skateboard somewhere?" i asked, she gave me a gross look. "ew, leave that outside" she hissed. "fine, anything for you princess" i sighed and we both went into her room and sat on her big fluffy rug on the ground. as we worked on our project, choles sister came in "hey sis, i- oh.. didnt know you had company" she looked flustered. i got up and went to her, "chole, why didn't you tell me you had such a beautiful sister" i flirted, her sister blushed and smiled big. "im drew, and you are?" i introduced myself. "i know.. i mean, im elle" elle mumbled. "we should hang sometime soon, elle" i suggested, she nodded repeatedly. "yes yes, sounds great" elle exclaimed and walked off. i sat back down with chole, she seemed mad. "don't flirt with my sister, she's off limits" chole belted, i raised an eyebrow. "and why not?" i asked, she looked over embarrassed. "i- i don't want her to get hurt by someone like you" chole sighed, "what am i" i asked meanly. " a skank"she mumbled under her breath.

chole's pov:

after i said that, i looked up at drew who had no emotion on her face. "i see" she spoke softly and got up. "where are you going?" i asked, "home, seems like im not wanted here" her voice broke. i could feel her sadness but refuse to show it. she left and my heart kind of sank. am i really feeling remorse for her? i guess i am... i should apologize for what i said to her tomorrow.

aria's pov:

here i am in the doctor's office waiting for my results. im scared and i have no one, no one for support. "hello, miss.woods" the doctor came in and sat down. "im afraid that we have some bad news" she added, that's when i knew. tears formed in my eyes. "im sorry.. but you tested positive for lung cancer" the doctor told me. tears finally reached my neck. i have no money for treatment. my mother died from this and my dad became an drug addicted and he's in rehab right now. i left the hospital and i only had one person to do to. i knocked on the door repeatedly as tears rushed down my cheeks.

huxley's pov:

i ran upstairs seeing who was at the door. it was aria, her brown eyes were dull as red took over her white part of her eyes. she had no one to go to. i went up to her and held her in my arms. i felt her shatter into pieces in my arms and honestly it broke my heart. i know we just met yesterday but i already have a weak spot for her.

after her crying moment i took her to the basement where everyone was at. we gathered around into a circle. "so, what's going on?" drew asked while taking a sip from a beer bottle. i looked at aria as her under eyes were raw from wiping them, she looked extremely exhausted. "i... i have lung cancer" she whispered. it was silent for a moment and she started crying again. i scooted over to her and hugged her, then drew joined us, then both arrow and bliss came over. even royalty and parker joined our big hug. we all sat there as aria cried in our arms.

aria's pov:

as the group hugged me, i realized: friendship isn't about who you known the longest. its about who walked into your life and prove that they are there for you. friends become our chosen family.
