IN THE CAFETERIA:
"Won't you order anything?" Joshua asked, once Ariana hadn't said anything since they arrived.
"Joshua why did you bring me here?" She asked, avoiding his question.
"To eat of course." Was his reply.
"But I don't want to eat, why are you forcing me?" She asked. She was getting annoyed by each second she stayed there with him.
"I shouldn't have agreed to this stupid deal in the first place." She said in her mind.
"Aria, we made a deal and it clearly stated that you'll obey my every word for the next two weeks." He stated.
"I know but I don't think I can keep up with this nonsense of yours." She complained.
"That's to bad because you've already agreed and there is no backing out." He said.
"I helped you...my uncle helped you."
"And you were the one that got me into this mess." She argued.
"Aria, I know we've not been on good terms but can't you at least control that anger of yours for the next two weeks." He asked sincerely.
"Fine, I'll try but if y-"
RING!
"It's Amber, she sent a message on the group." Ariana spoke.
"What's it about?" He asked.
"She said she wants to see us at the car park."
"Oh! Okay." He smirked.
************
"Mia, I'm leaving Royal High." Bella stated.
"Why? Was it because of that incident?" She asked as Bella nodded her head.
"But Jayden...he settled the matter." She stated.
"I know but my parents don't want me to stay here again, I'm going abroad...I don't know when I'll be back." She replied as Mia held onto her hand.
"Don't worry everything will be fine...I'm going to miss you." She said giving her a hug.
"Me too."
***********
"Amber why did you call us here?" Sarah asked once everyone arrived.
"I...I have something...to say." She stammered.
"I know friends shouldn't keep secrets from each other and I betrayed you all." She said, bending her head down in guilt.
"What are you saying?" Ariana asked, confused.
"Freddy...I'm sorry...I should have told everyone about us." She said, looking up to face Freddy who remained still, staring back at her.
"You and Freddy? What happened?" Olive asked.
"Urm... Freddy and I are...we are dating." She said.
"Dating???" Sarah and Olive shouted.
"Yes."
"Since when?" Olive asked, looking at Freddy and Amber.
"A few weeks ago." Freddy replied.
"Josh, I'm sorry I shouldn't have lied to you." He apologized.
"There's no need because I knew about this a long time ago." He smirked.
"What?" Everyone screamed this time as they turned their heads to look at Joshua.
"Chill guys!" He chuckled.
"I have noticed their behavior since the time of the school trip." He stated.
"Oh?"
"So congrats." Ariana said as she gave Amber a hug and then moved over to give Freddy a hug when an arm grabbed her.
"Let go!" Ariana complained.
"What were you trying to do?" He asked her.
"I want to give Freddy a hug to." She stated.
"No, Freddy doesn't need any hugs right bro?"
"Yes, I don't need a hug...you can give my hug to Joshua instead." Freddy suggested as everyone giggled.
