Jakes POV I'm laying in my bed looking up at the ceiling feeling the worst I have ever felt in the three years I've been dating Lexi and that's because I can't seem to get that girl out of my head. Usually right now Lexi would be over here with me and we would be hanging out or something but I lied to her and told her I wasn't feeling well and I feel horrible about it.
The thing is though I feel like I've met her before something about her, but I also know I have never met that girl in my life. It's really throwing me off. I love Lexi with everything in me so I'm just gonna ignore whatever I'm feeling about this girl.
Lexi Lexi Lexi, no girl.
I mean I didn't even get her name or her number, not that it's important or that I wanted them, but- ugh now I'm babbling like that little cry baby Erika.
I'm all about Lexi and I love her. I'm even gonna take her on a date tomorrow after school.
*next day at school*
Erika's POV I'm waiting at my locker for Noah.
N: hello sweet lover
E: you call me the weirdest things. One day someone's gonna hear you and think we're dating.
N: well they can think that all they want because we aren't you're like my baby sister.
E: you're only older than me by a couple of months.
N: let me have this, you're so much better at everything else.
E: okay Noah
N: alsoooo I can't hang out this because my grandparents are coming to town.
E: it's cool I have to stay late at the diner and like update some menu stuff and work schedules.
?: Erika! Erika!
I turn my head and see Sunny trying to run down the halls in a pencil skirt and a tucked in button up top.
E: yes Sunny?
S: you left your phone and took mine.
E: okay here
I took her phone out of my pocket and we switched phones.
S: thanks
E: next time try to be more discreet because there are people here that I try to avoid-
J: does Erika have another friend?
Le: and wow does she dress just as bad as you
S: at least I don't dress like a sl-
E: Sunny go Oliver might be waiting
S: yes ma'am
E: don't call me that go
Sunny left and I turned to my locker until I felt a hand turn me back around.
R: just because your friend left doesn't mean we are done with you.
A: we're gonna go old school for a second and take your lunch money.
E: you can't I don't eat lunch at school I wait and eat at the diner so I don't bring money to school so your out of luck sorry.
J: you guys it's always the small things. Babe do you like her ring?

J: well
Jake grabbed my hand and took it, I jumped at him trying to get it back because it was my moms wedding ring, but Noah held me back because he already knew what I was doing was already going to make everything 100x worse. Tears started falling from my eyes.
Jc: t-thanks for participating Erika
I could tell Justice had to force himself to say that.
When they all walked away I turned around and hugged Noah and just cried.
Jakes POV A tiny little part of me felt bad but I just ignored it.
Justice's POV (Jc) I have to find a way to get that ring back.
Le: okay this ring is actually really dope
Jc: yeah it is a round cut diamond, white gold, looks to be about 4.25 carats, and looks to be around 20k
R: how'd you know that?
Jc: my mom is a ring designer for celebrities and before she left I used to go to work with her and I picked a couple of things up.
Good things I'm getting better at lying, bad thing I have to keep lying.
A: who would want to buy her this beauty though?
Le: omg what if she bought it for herself?
They all laughed and I faked laughed.
Erika's POV I finally stopped crying and just leaned up against my lockers.
E: I hope Justice finds a ways to get that ring back.
Noah looked at his phone
N: uh oh
E: what?
N: I gotta go
E: why?
N: my grandparents are in town early and they want to see me now. Sorry
E: it's okay I was probably gonna bring your mood down all day anyway, I'm gonna go to class.
N: I'll text you
E: okay bye
N: bye
Noah left and I went to class
*class*
Justice's POV (Jc) Me and my friends are all sitting in class when a substitute teacher comes in the class all frantic.

?: sorry am I late this is my first time at this school?
A: bro this substitute is hot
J: you just can't keep your mouth shut
When she turned around I froze.
Le: Jc are you okay?
Jc: excuse me ma'am why's your name?
An: Angel Hanson (Lets day "Hanson" is her maiden name) but of course since I'm the teacher you would call me Ms. Hanson.
Jc: yeah okay sorry go on.
My MOM who turns out not to be dead turned around not recognizing me of course because she left when I was one and I turned back to my friends.
R: what was that?
Jc: guys that's my mom
J: holy fvck she doesn't recognize you?!
Jc: not at all she left when I was one this sh!t is insane.
