"Can you stop talking to him?" Tate is sat at the edge of his bed with Adelena standing between his legs. He grips her thighs while she runs her fingers through his soft hair.
"Stop talking to who?" Her eyebrows scrunch at his sudden outburst. Tate...

I hesitantly walk over to the last empty seat.
Chloe won't take her eyes off me and it's weirding me out. Amelia is glaring at both me and her.
Now she's mad at me.
Actually I should be upset with her. Why is she sitting next to Jackson.
"So... who wants to go first." Leonardo questions which makes everyone fall silent.
The circle consist of Amelia, Adelena, Jackson, Leonardo, Chloe, August and 10 other people from their friend group. 2 from me and August hockey team. 3 from the football team. And 5 random girls that I don't know.
"I think Adelena should go first." Chloe is the first to speak up. I can't help but shift uncontrollably in my seat, almost ready to stand up as I feel her eyes trail down my body, stopping at my sweats.
She looks at Adelena, competition clear on her face. She's out of her mind if she thinks I'll ever get with her.
"Okay." Adelena starts to sit up in her seat in no way backing down. "Truth."

Chloe just won't stop.
First she makes everyone leave the seat beside her empty just because she wants Tate sitting there. And now she's trying to play footies with him.
"Is it true that you cheated on Jackson?" Chloe grins at her failed attempt of trying to embarrass me.
"Huh?" Jackson says, now sat up in his seat.
"False." I answer quite proudly. Jackson may have annoyed me from time to time, but that's how relationships work. I've never even looked another guys way while in a committed relationship with him.
"You know Adelena... the game is truth or dare. You're supposed to tell the truth."
"I know bitch and I said what I said. False. Do I need to repeat it?"
"Wait girls! No need for the profanity. Let's change the question, OK?" Leonardo interrupts. From the wide smile on his face, I know he does not mean that. He's such an instigator.
"Chloe your turn. Truth or dare?" Rebecca, one out of the five girls that decided to join us ask. I like Rebecca she's sweet, but she could be messy at times.
"Hmm. Truth?"
"It it true that you got with Jackson while him and Adelena were together?" My eyes widen at her question.
Welp why am I surprised? Drama spreads, especially in this school where everyone knows everyone & everyone's business. I just really was not expecting that. From what I know people still think me & Jackson are together.
Amelia throws Rebecca the meanest glare before chiming in. "Come on Rebecca, not the time."
"I'm just asking. Is it true Chloe?. Yes or No?" I know I should be upset but this kind of excites. From how red Chloe's face has turned in the span of only 2 minutes, shows the pure embarrassment that she's feeling within herself.
"I guess it's true since your not answering-"
"That's false." Chloe blurts out. No authority in her voice, everyone knows she's lying. I have to say something. I physically can't keep my mouth shut.
"Who's lying now?"
"Adelena-" Jackson interrupts making me scoff.
"Shut up." Seems like my comment riled Chloe up.
"I'm changing the game. Adelena, never have you ever got with a guy your friend was talking to?"
I chuckle. "You're pathetic." Chloe has a tendency on thinking any man she lays her eyes on, belongs to her. Now that I'm thinking is this the reason why she stole Jackson from me. "You never told me you had a crush on him. Do you expect me to read your mind?"
"Damn. This is not a game anymore." Leonardo speaks once again.
"You're selfish! You take everything! You even took Tate, I saw him first." My head moves faster than the flash, my eyes now on Tate silently reading his facial expression.
His face scrunches up in distaste. "I met you the first day of school through Adelena... what are you talking about?"
"Don't lie." Chloe slumps back in her chair.
Tate is looking at me with an unreadable expression. Usually I'm able to catch a lie, but right now I don't know who to believe.
"Is this really who you want Adelena? A liar." I almost laugh when I hear Jackson open his mouth. Him judging anyone about being honest & truthful is absurd.
"Oh I know you're not talking." Amelia chokes on her drink at Tates response. I almost too.
Oh fuck. I know what's coming next.
"Your speaking to me?" Jackson points to himself dumbfounded. Embarrassing ass.
"I'm looking at you right?" Jackson puts his drink down and stands up. "Do you want to fight? Because we can fight." Those last words from Tate had Jackson lunging at him.
All hell breaks loose.
~~~
"Once again I'm asking you both... HOW DID THIS START?" Mr. Car, the football coach walks back and fourth waiting for a response from the 16 people in the room.
No one speaks.
He's extremely scary.
I look at both Jackson and Tate in disbelief. Jackson his holding a napkin against his bloody nose, while Tate is holding an ice pack against his bruised forehead.
And then there's Chloe with dirt stains all over her face and body.
This was such a petty fight & now every single one of us is going to get in trouble.
"All I have to say is that this is Chloe's fault, she started it. Also Jackson hit Tate first." Amelia speaks up with no shame before standing up, "may I go now?"
I replay the fight in my head over again.
Flashback...
All I see is Jackson running towards Tate.
At first Jackson catches Tate off guard, landing him on the ground. With a punch to his face, Tate quickly recovers and turns Jackson over, now him on the ground.
Tate throws blow after to blow to Jacksons nose and mouth causing him to cough up blood.
I contemplate on stopping the fight, but I will get beat up as well if I jump in between two big ass boys.
"Guys stop." Rebecca screams, her hand over her mouth in shock.
Chloe as the attention seeker she is, intervenes. I watch Jackson push her as she stumbles into the dirt of the bonfire. Face first.
Suddenly Jackson gains some type of strength leading him to punch Tate in his stomach.
Oh my god.
"YOU BOYS do something! what the fuck! why are you guys just standing here?" Amelia yells at the 5 other boys here, including Leonardo.
