chase's pov

"fuck payton" i said as i ran my hand through my hair

"chase, relax," he put his hand on my shoulder, "everything is going to be fine"

"no payton, it's not. she tried talking to me but i pushed her away, and now she's over here making out with anthony."

"i'm sure there's a reason for this. there has to be"

"what would be the reason? it's all my fault. i push her away, and i can't even speak to her."

"chase, it's not your fault. her actions are not your fault."

i cup my hands under the bathroom sink and splash the water onto my face.

"shit." i raised my voice

"come on man, ethan's waiting for us."

"fuck ethan."

payton left the bathroom. i stared in the mirror just watching the water drip down my face. in the reflection, i saw the door swing open.

sam walked in

shit not right now.

"hey man, you good?"

"yeah i'm fine" i replied

he grabbed a bunch of paper towels, "lots of drama today i see"

why the fuck did payton tell him.

"how did you know?" i asked

"i'm talking about ev, not you," he walked over to the sink, "wait is there something wrong?"

"oh, no," i did a fake laugh, "i was talking about her too"

"by the way, i think ethan's looking for you"

"thanks man." i made my way through the door and down the hall. i saw payton, hannah, and ev all sitting in a circle. i slowed down

"what's going on?" i could see that ev's face was red

"nothing" hannah replied for her

"do you guys need anything?" i asked

"here," sam walked up behind me handing the paper towels to ev. he looked at me, "you should probably go.."

"what? i just want to help"

"man, just go" payton raised his voice at me

"what the fuck you guys? payton you're supposed to be on my side." they were all staring at me.

"okay, fine i'll go"

after checking in with ethan, i got a few texts

payton       imessage
bro it's not what you think happened. dont blame her for this u gotta believe me

payton       imessage
she doesnt even like anthony i-

what the hell.

i walked back into the room. elmo was sitting alone. i walked over to my things and sat down.

after a couple minutes of awkward silence, the door swung open

"hey man" elmo said

i looked up to see anthony walking through the room

as if today couldn't get any worse.

"hey elmo, hey chase" he smiled at me.

i glanced at him and looked back at my phone

"someone's cranky"

"you know what you did" i said not making eye contact with him

"last time i checked, ev was the one who kissed me, not you"

"she doesn't even like you" i scoffed

"that's not what she said after the kiss."

"what?"

"just admit it chase. she doesn't have any feelings for you."

"whatever"

"and the thing is, our kiss wasn't part of a game"

"that's enough"

"someone's jeal-

"he said that's enough" elmo interrupted

"chill bro, i was just joking" anthony laughed

"get out" elmo demended

"what?"

"anthony. get. out." elmo's voice gave me literal goosebumps.
