Cesar Diaz

As soon as class was done, Cesar zoomed out of the room, chasing straight after Monse. Alexa was calling after him, but he couldn't pay attention to her right now. Monse was going to forgive him for his mindless behavior. He wasn't settling for anything less.

"Monse! Monse, wait up!"

Ruby turned around with an attitude, and so did Monse. "Cesar, why don't you leave her alone already?"

"I'm not talking to you right now, Ruby."

"Well, I'm talking to you!" he fired back, putting his finger on Cesar's chest. "You fucked up dude, and there's no fixing it. Just face it."

Monse smiled at him. "Thank you, Ruby."

"Don't thank him, because if we're being real, this whole situation is his fault!" Cesar accused.

Ruby was offended. "It's my fault that you cheated? Really?"

"It's your fault I was at that party in the first place!"

Now Monse stepped in. She was furious with him. "Are you serious right now? Don't you dare try to blame Ruby for your actions! No one told you to get high out of your mind!"

"How many times do I have to apologize?" Because he really was sorry about what he had done that night.

This was what had went down—back in July, Ruby had forced him to go to a Brentwood party with him. Ruby knew a couple of rich Brentwood people since he was connected to Brentwood because of Mario. Jamal didn't go because he wasn't in Freeridge, and Monse was in physical pain that night. Cesar should've stayed with her, but Ruby insisted.

Alexa was somehow invited to the party and they kicked it for a little bit. They got high out of their minds like Monse said, and ended up having a one night stand in the bathroom. And that was all it was, a one night stand.

Ruby barged in on them, and immediately snitched to Monse. She broke up with Cesar, but forgave him for what he did. But clearly not, because she was still so cold towards him. Ruby didn't like him much either. And thanks to Cesar, Monse and Ruby were closer than ever. They were inseparable.

So long story short, he fucked up big time.

"You don't have to apologize because I already forgave you, Cesar," Monse finally said.

"Oh, did you?" That was Alexa's voice.

Ruby rolled his eyes and Monse snorted. "Oh look, the side bitch is here."

Alexa stepped up to her. "Do you have a problem with me? And last time I checked, you two aren't together anymore. So looks like I'm the main bitch."

Cesar facepalmed while Monse opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, struggling to respond. Then she exhaled deeply. "Let's go Ruby, before I say something I'll regret."

Ruby looked Alexa up and down distastefully. "Gladly." And then they were gone.

Cesar pinched his nose, frustrated with Alexa at this point. "Lexi, I thought I told you not to talk to me in public?"

Her jaw dropped. "Wow. Is that any way to talk to your one night stand?"

"Exactly! It was a one night stand and Monse found out, and now everything I had with her is ruined!"

Lexi didn't see the issue. "That's bad?"

Cesar glared at her. "Yeah it's bad, because I love her!"

"You loved me that night too."
