Christen could tell that Rachel was holding back from letting people into her world. As he watched her debate with his father for the first time, he could tell that she was forcing herself from expressing her true feelings. He also noticed that Rachel was holding herself back around Sophia. He was intrigued to know who Rachel was behind the facade she was portraying.

Rosemary was one of Rachel's close friends back in high school. That is until she set her up for the ultimate betrayal. She blackmailed Skylar's then-boyfriend into saying that Rachel came onto him with false proof. All to force Ryan to break up Rachel. Tony had no other choice than to follow the immature demands of Rosemary.

Tony approached Skylar with a sorrowful expression. 

"What's wrong, babe?" Skylar questioned. 

"I have something I need to tell you." He weakly said.

Just then the bell rung, indicating they have less than five minutes to get to class on time.

"Can it wait till lunch?" She didn't want to risk being late.

"No, It can't. I'll just say it. Rachel came on to me. I told her to stop flirting with me but she kept telling me that no one has to know, that she had no one else in her corner."

The late bell rang.

"That has to be a bullshit ass lie. She would never do that to me, despite what we are going through now."

"She's been cheating on Ryan with that kingpin, Davis. What makes you think she wouldn't do such a thing to you?"

Tony took out his phone and showed her the messages Rosemary forwarded to him.

As Skylar read the messages between Rachel and Tony. There were no doubts that the writing style was Rachel's own. Rachel was the only one in their group that would text in complete sentences with slang every now and then.

"What the fuck!" Skylar said. She was too confused to ask any questions. The messages made it seem like Rachel was trying to sleep with Tony behind Skylar's back.

"I'm sorry Sky. I had no other choice. I had to tell you." He felt genuinely bad for what he had just done. He knew all too well that Skylar and Rachel have been close for years. Close enough for them to call each other sisters.

"Thank you for telling me. I know for a fact that I can trust you." She kissed him and walked off towards her class. Skylar didn't want to believe it but all the facts were there and it made Rachel look so guilty.

"Nice of you to join us, Skylar." Mrs. Coleman, the physics teacher, loathed when her students were late to her class.

"I'm sorry, something came up."
