Well, it's official. Jake asked Kesley to marry him yesterday, and she said yes. But it turns out, Jake had already found an apartment, only because the other tenant in the two apartment building, were Marcus and Robbie. He put down first and last already, so he pretty much knew she was going to say yes, and, move in day is Saturday, which means Jake is leaving and I will be staying far away from the house that morning.

But now, it is Monday. I don't necessarily want to go to school, but in order to be able to go to dance tonight, I have to.

I rolled out of bed, got ready. Just my typical hair and make up. Threw on some leggings, a gray v-neck sweater, my boots, and headed to grab Josh since Ryan is picking Abby up. Josh just didn't want to ride with him today.

He and I were at his locker when a very pissed off Abby came stomping over to us.

"Hi Cranky?" I let out a small laugh.

"Have either of you seen Ryan?" She crossed her arms.

"Uhm, he left before I did?" Josh gave her a look. "He was picking you up?"

"Yeah, I thought so too." She nodded. "My mom just dropped me off because he never showed." She shook her head.

"What?" I gave her a look.

"Yeah, he never showed up, again."

Connor, Mason, and Ben came walking by and she grabbed Ben.

"Jesus, what?" He shook his head.

Mason and Connor followed.

"No reason to get grabby Abby Lou." Mason shook his head.

"Any of you seen my boyfriend?" She pursed her lips.

"No?" Connor gave her a look. "Haven't you? He was picking you up."

"We thought so too." I nodded.

"Where the fuck is he?" Mason looked at Ben.

"Where's who?" Ryan asked walking over to us.

Abby crossed her arms and just raised her eyebrows at him.

"What crawled up your butt Cranky?" Ryan gave her a look.

"My mom just dropped me off." She nodded.

"Oh shit." He closed his eyes. "Baby I'm sorry, I forgot."

"Clearly, where were you!" She shook her head.

He pursed his lips. "I was getting you something."

Her face went flat and she tilted her head.

He pulled his back pack off, reached in and pulled out a macroon box.

She raised her eyebrows.

"They're the rainbow ones with the strawberry cream fillling." He let out a small smile. "Your favorite."

Her face softened.

"Come on baby, I was doing something nice for you. Don't be mad at me." He pouted.

She sighed and let out a soft smile. "Make it up to me by walking me to class." She nodded.

"Absoltely." He kissed her cheek and grabbed her hand.

They walked down the hall.

"That is the second time in a week he has forgotten to pick her up." I shook my head.

"What?" Connor gave me a look.

"Yeah." I nodded. "Last Tuesday."

"No, he was late to school last Tuesday for picking her up." Mason shook his head.

"No, she called me 30 minutes before school started because he forgot her, I picked her up." I gave him a look.

"You sure it was Tuesday?" Ben gave Josh and I a look.

We both nodded. "Yeah, we didn't have dance. What the hell is wrong with you three?"

He looked at Mason and Connor. "He lied to us." He shook his head.

"I don't think Ryan has ever lied to us." Connor shook his head.

"Why would he lie to us." Mason looked between Connor and Ben.

"I don't want to talk right now!" We heard someone scream down the hall.

"You're going to have to talk to me if you're meeting my parents tonight Sienna!" Ian yelled as they walked around the corner.

"And I will but not right now!"

"I said I was sorry about Saturday!" He yelled.

And at this point, everyone was staring at them.

"You called me a hoe Ian!" She screamed.

I looked up at Mason. And he now had the someone is getting their ass beat look on his face. But Connors scared me more. I grabbed Connors hand and squeezed.

"Sienna Renee Barber!" He yelled and finally caught up to her.

"Hey!" Mason stepped infront of her before she passed us.

"What Mason." She shook her head.

He glanced up over her shoulder at Ian. "Are you alright?" He looked down at her.

"I'm fine." She nodded.

"Really." He nodded.

"Yes, Mason. I'm fine!" She pushed past him.

"Sienna." Ian shook his head as he went to go follow her.

But, Mason stepped directly infront of him and stopped him with a hand on his chest.

"Can I help you." Ian looked at Mason.

"Josh." I looked at him and nodded toward Connor.

"Yeah. You ever call her a hoe again, you can fight with me." Mason nodded.

Josh came over, grabbed Connors arm, and I let go of his hand, just incase.

"And who exactly is going to stop me." Ian shook his head.

And then the jaw clenched and he grabbed Ian's shirt. Which was my cue.

I stepped inbetween and pushed Mason back. "Hey." I

"Move." He looked down at me.

"Not until you let go." I shook my head and pulled out my puppy dog eyes. "Please."

He took a deep breath and let go. "Watch your fucking mouth when you talk to her." He pointed in Ians face.

He threw his arm over my shoulder and pulled me away.

"Walk Con." Josh pushed Connor toward Mason and I. "You too Ben." he grabbed the front of Bens shirt and pulled him with us.

The boys walked me to first period.

Trig, always seems to making my day 20x worse. This morning, that was bad.

I walked in to second period and sat down next to Sienna.

"Please don't ask me." She shook her head.

"I won't." I shook my head. "I know you're not. If you need me, you know where I am."

She sighed. "He's not a bad guy. He's just-"

"Your guy bestfriend freaks him out." I nodded.

"Yeah." She pursed her lips. "It was our first fight since we've been talking, now dating, and I haven't talked to him, until in the hall when he ripped me a new one." She shook her head.

And then Mason walked in and sat down next to me.

"What the hell did you say to my boyfriend." Sienna looked over at him.

"I told him if he ever called you a Hoe again, that he could fight with me." Mason crossed his arms. "And that he could watch his mouth when he talks to you."

"Why would you do that!" She shook her head.

"Because you don't deserve it Sie." He shook his head.

I could not tell you how uncomfortable I am right now. One, because everyone was staring again. Two, because my bestfriend, and my 'boyfriend' are fighting over top of me.

"Why don't you let me decide what I deserve Mason." She yelled.

I sunk down in my my chair very slowly.

"Because it's pretty damn obvious that your judgement is pretty shitty right now." Mason raised his eyebrows.

"My judgement is pretty shitty?" She gave him a look. "You're the king of shitty choices Mason, meet 3/4 of the schools female population. Exhibit number one, the crazy bitch in the front row!" She pointed at Katie.

"Uhm, excuse me!" Katie shook her head.

"Shut up Katie." The both looked at her.

"Ok!" Miss Jordan stood up. "Enough. Since apparently you two are having a problem, you two are going to be partners for this next assignment, and I will be putting who you were supposed to have together."

"Can we not!" Sienne shook her head.

"No." Miss Jordan shook her head. "Mason, you were supposed to be with Olivia."

"Please don't change our partners." Mason shook his head.

"Olivia, you will be with." She looked down at her paper. "Carter." She looked over at him.

"Come on." Mason threw his head back.

"Maybe you should mind your business." Sienna shrugged.

"Maybe you should mind your boyfriend." Mason looked at her.

"Mason, other side of Sienna. Carter, take Mr. Hollows seat." Miss Johnson raised her eyebrows.

Carter walked over and sat down next to me.

"Olivia, you may come out now." She said from the front row.

I sat up straight.

"Hi." Carter smiled at me.

"Hi." I pursed my lips. But something was different about Carter. "No glasses?" I gave him a look.

"They broke." He shrugged. "Contacts from here on out."

"We've been looking at poems where the Authors have shown you someone through their eyes, but never their true selves. Your assignment, is to write a paper, on what you have always seen your partner as versus who they really are. You'll have til Friday. Talk, learn, write."

"Great." Sienna shook her head.

"I'd rather talk to your boyfriend right now, and that's saying something." Mason rolled his eyes.

"Are they alright?" Carter gave me a look.

"It's a typical brother/sister type thing." I nodded. "Mason's protective, Sienna doesn't care."

"Well, since I have a feeling you'll have to intervene with them alot this period, why don't you and I maybe work on this after school?" He pursed his lips.

"Oh, I actually have dance after school." I shook my head.

"I know." He nodded. "We've known eachother for like, 8 years Olivia. I have something right after school too, so how about after dance, you just come on over." He shrugged.

"No." Mason yelled from behind us.

I turned around and raised my eyebrows.

He rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

"I've never been to your house Carter." I shook my head.

"Well, not many people have, but uh, I can't really leave my house Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays." He scrunched his face.

I nodded. "Alright then. Just, send me your address."

"Awesome." He let out a small smile.

"And how many times have you had ghonorhea again?" I heard Sienna say.

"It was one time in 9th fucking grade, clap queen." Mason replied.

I rolled my eyes. "Just, one minute." I nodded and turned around to them. "Alright, we get it, you both get around. Mason, Sienna is saying that if she needs you, she will tell you. Sienna, Mason loves you enough to look out for you. You both need to stop because you're both being ridiculous, so now I'm going to pull a Jake when it comes to Connor and I. I love you both, but I would like to pass this class, and I can't with you two calling eachother diseased whores right behind me, so please, for the love of god, tell eachother you love eachother, hug it out, and hang out since you two already know pretty much everything about eachother!"

They both just sat back in their chairs.

Mason sighed. "I love you." He shook his head and looked at her.

She sighed. "I love you for loving me." She looked at him.

He held his hand out, she grabbed it. "Tasty after school to make it up to you?" He smiled.

"Make it Joes and you've got yourself a deal." She smiled.

"Joes it is." He nodded.

"Thank you Olivia." Miss Johnson said from her desk.

"Any time." I shook my head.

Carter ended up sending me his address, class ended.

As soon as I got in the hall, I waited in the doorway to the janitors closet for Mason to walk by.

And when I did, I grabbed him by his back pack, pulled him, and closed the door.

"Well hello to you too gorgeous." He smirked.

"I don't give a flying fuck what I just said, do not stop keeping an eye on that kid." I shook my head.

"Ol, I know. I'm not going to." He shook his head. "I've got her." He wrapped his arms around me.

I took a deep breath and squeezed him back. "You ever scream in front of everyone like that, I will knock you the fuck out." I nodded.

"That kid doesn't watch his mouth, I'm knocking him the fuck out." He nodded. "Are you really going to Carters after dance?"

"Do you trust me?" I looked up at him.

He pursed his lips and nodded.

"You have me, ok." I nodded.

He let out a small smile. "You have me." He pulled me in to a kiss. "Now, get the hell out of this closet before we miss 3rd period." He nodded.

"Yes, sir." I saluted.

"OOf, don't get me started." He shook his head.

We both walked out, and unfortunately, Abby and Connor were walking by.

"Uhm, what the hell is this?" Abby raised her eyebrows.

"We, needed to talk about Sienna without Sienna seeing us. We came from the same class, so I kind of just pulled him in here." I shrugged.

"You told him!" Abby shook her head.

"Told him what?" Connor looked at the three of us.

"Yes I told him, and about what I told you yesterday." I shook my head.

"Why!" She yelled.

"Better me than him." Mason pointed at Connor.

"Shit, him." I pursed my lips.

"Told him what damn it!" Connor yelled.

Abby Mason and I just looked at eachother.

"Ian's freaked out by you and Sienna's past." Mason shook his head. "That's it."

"Now why would you not tell me that?" Connor shook his head.

"Your ego." Abby looked at me.

"Doesn't need to be bigger." I shook my head.

"Oh shut up." He rolled his eyes and walked away.

"Thank you." Abby and I looked up at Mason.

He nodded.

"You've got-"

He cut Abby off. "I've got it, and her." He nodded.

"Mase! Chem. Late!" Connor yelled.

"I'll see you two later. Let me know about Carters." He pursed his lips and walked down the hall.

"Carters?" Abby looked at me as we walked to Bio.

"I am going to Carters after dance to work on an English assignment." I shrugged.

"Has Carter been looking cuter lately, or am I just mad at Ryan still." She shook her head.

"He stopped wearing his glasses, but you've had a soft spot for Carter snce you were Math partners in like, the 6th grade." I nodded.

"Hey, that kid managed to teach me Algebra in like, 3 days." She shrugged.

"Are you and Ryan, like, ok?" I pursed my lips.

"Yeah." She nodded. "Just, he had that History project 2 weeks ago and it wore him out. He's worried he failed it so his mind is occupied."

"I can tell, rainbow and strawberry cream is not your favorite macaroon." I shook my head.

"He was trying to be nice. Just please leave it be." She shrugged.

I sighed. "Ok." I nodded.

Her and I walked in to Bio.

The rest of the day flew by.

Let me tell you, trying to choreograph a whole new student choreo piece entirely with my left hand, or no hands, was impossible. So, I decided to go with a complete pointe piece. On top of Will and I's new duet, my solo Jane choreographed, a new big little duet, Abby and I's duet, a new group dance, and a trio.

With everything going on, between dance, Mason, and Sienna, my body feels like it's shutting down. So this weekend, I am taking a break, I'm getting my nails done, and not doing shit.
