⋆Justin's POV⋆
"Justin, clean your room" mom said.
"I just cleaned it last week!" I wined.
"It's messy."
"Can I do it later?"
"Fine"
"Okay, 'cause I'm going to Luke's house right now. Bye" I said, putting my hand on the handle.
"Be home by 6:30"
"Yeah, I know"
"Bye"
I opened the door and ran outside. Luke lives a couple blocks away from me, so I'm just gonna run there like always.
When I was at the front of Luke's house, I knocked on the door.
Luke swung the door open and let me in.
"Bro, sorry, but I really need to talk about the whole Karson Dylan thing." Luke said.
"Sure." I shrugged.
We both went and sat down on the couch.
"So... I'm not that familiar of what happened." I started.
"Well.. I was standing there with your girlfriend and we were looking at Dylan talking and Karson yelling at him and stuff."
"Okay... then?"
"Then, for some fucking reason, his lips were on my baby's lips"
"Ok first, stop calling her 'babe' or 'baby' or that shit 'cause it's annoying as fuck."
"Whatever! what should I do? I don't want that guy near Karson."
"Tell him to stop"
"Bro, you think I haven't tried that?"
"To him, you are a weak ass bitch."
"Wow thanks"
"I'm just telling you the truth. If you convince to him that your 'tough' or 'rude' then you back him up. 'Cause bro, you suck at being rude and tough. Or, if you're really good at pointing out the obvious, which you're not but if you were, you can get rid of him. "
"I'm better at pointing out the obvious then you!"
"Don't even try. seriously."
"I will try."
"Go ahead."
"I fucking bet you're dating Ariana just because you don't want her to call the cops."
What. The. Fuck.
I angrily got up and headed for the door.
"Bro, I was joking" Luke said.
"Shut up" I spat. I swung the door open and left.
I'm not going to stay for that shit even if it is true.
He can't fucking know that I am only dating Ariana because of that one reason. Is it really that obvious though? do I seriously have to do something even bigger in our relationship?
I'm already holding hands with her, talking to her (nicely) and even sometimes sharing a lunch. I'm not calling her 'babe' or that shit Luke calls Karson because that is just weird as fuck.
I unlocked the door to my house and walked in.
"You're home early." mom said.
"No really?"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I spat.
"Clean your room!"
"I know!" I said in annoyance.
I don't even want to talk to anyone. But why does it make me so mad that Luke just said that? it's true but why am I mad?
Clean up my room? it's not even messy! I just have some jeans on the floor... it's not messy!
I picked up my jeans and threw them in the laundry bin.
"IM DONE CLEANING MY ROOM!" I shouted.
"THANK YOU!" she shouted back.
My phone vibrated on my desk so I looked at the screen.
iMessage
Luke: bro, what did I do?
Me: just shut the fuck up
Luke: seriously! why are you so fuckin pissed?
I ignored him.
Luke: fuck... What I said was true?
Me: SHUT UP!
Luke: damn bro, why play with a girls heart?
I threw my phone across the room.
Can he not shut his mouth? I don't want to tell anyone about this and he just has to keep talking. I don't know if I can even keep this secret for 2 weeks.
"Dinner." mom said, knocking on on door.
"Okay." I replied.
We all sat at the dining table and everything was quiet. All you could hear was the sound of forks hitting the plate.
"How was your day?" mom asked.
"Good!" Jazmyn said.
"Yeah!" Jaxon said.
I didn't say anything.
"What about you Justin"
"Great" I said sarcastically, stuffing a piece of broccoli in my mouth.
Jaxon looked at me and I gave him a fake smile so he'd look away.
I quickly ate and got up from the table.
"You're full already?" mom asked.
"Not hungry"
"Okay" she sighed.
I walked into my room and slammed the door.
I picked up my phone from the floor and the screen was cracked.
"Fuck" I said to myself.
I pressed the power button and it still worked a bit... Not that well though. the touchscreen is kinda off.
Luke: Justin?
Me: agyr yo
Luke: what?
Me: nt riyxg axewwb ua idd
Luke: what?
The fucking touchscreen is broken as hell! damn, I need a new phone.
Me: daxe runw nw
Luke: dude, I'm just gonna call you
Me: ijat
Incoming call from: Luke
"Hello?" I spoke
"What the hell are you typing?" Luke asked.
"My phone is broken"
"Dude, just tell me."
"I don't want to"
"Obviously, there's something that I said or did... was it true?"
"I seriously do not want to talk about it."
"You basically just told me bro. Explain."
"Fine! I'm only dating Ariana.. because I don't want her to call the cops..."
"Why would you play a girl like that?"
"Bro, you don't get it"
"Then what are you going to do? lie in the whole relationship?"
"Basically... but I'm gonna break up with her soon. Now that you know"
"So it's my fault?"
"Kinda"
"Luke!" I heard Jai call in the background. "Got to go. Bye" Luke said.
"Bye"
Damn. I'm gonna need to show Ariana that I 'like' her 'a lot' before something wrong happens. I need her to fall in love... not just like.

⋆Ariana's POV⋆
I grabbed my English books and secretly put my phone in my pocket. Let's just hope Dylan doesn't text 'cause Mrs. Cannes is gonna kill me.
I slammed the locker and saw Justin.
"Hey" I smiled.
"Hey babe" he said, grabbing my arm and twirling me to a dip.
"You're happy" I laughed.
"Mhm" he said kissing my lips. That's really unlike him... what does he want?
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Nothing." he said, bring me back up.
"You're acting very different."
"I am?"
"Very different..." I said slowly.
"Just happy to see you" he smiled.
"Okay..."
I gotta admit, I like it. But he says that he hates PDA so why did he just do that? something is obviously going on but I'll just leave it alone for now.
I walked into class and sat down. Justin came and say down beside me.
"Did you bring your phone?" Justin whispered.
"Obviously. I can't go anywhere without it." I whispered back.
"You're too addicted."
"Mhm"
Mrs. Cannes walked in and I sat still in my seat.
"Did anyone bring their phones in today?" she asked.
"No Mrs. Cannes" everyone said.
I just sat there and said nothing.
"Ariana?" she eyed me.
"No." I said, sinking into my seat.
She began class and I was writing the notes down on my notebook.
My phone vibrated in my pocket and I ignored it.
It vibrated again and it started to tickle me so I took it out and left it on my lap.
"Okay, we're gonna watch a short clip. Chris, can you turn the light off?" Mrs. Cannes said.
We watched this film thing and the light on my screen shot up at the ceiling. I flipped my phone over and left it.
The phone started sliding off my leg but I just left it. That was pretty stupid because it ended up falling.
I quickly got up and picked it up.
"What are you doing?" Justin whispered.
"Phone dropped." I whispered back.
I turned the brightness of my phone to the lowest possible and checked my messages.
Dylan: I'm not giving up on you
Damn that boy is desperate.
--
"Class dismissed." Mrs. Cannes said.
I grabbed my books and headed out the door.
"Wanna eat lunch with me Ry, Chaz, Luke and Karson?" Justin asked.
"Sure" I replied.
I ran straight to Karson and showed her the text.
"Oh my god. Luke is still mad you know!" Karson said.
"What are you gonna do?"
"End it right now? the sooner the better"
"Luke is gonna catch you. You can't do it."
"I don't care. He's fucking annoying. I just need to get rid of that asshole." she grabbed my phone and replied to him.
Me: come to my school now
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I half-yelled.
"Ending this" she snapped.
Idiot.
Dylan: be there in 5
He's really desperate.
⋆Karson's POV⋆
I quickly went outside and saw Dylan already. He's so fast...
"I'm here! what's up?" he asked.
"First, leave me alone. I don't like you anymore and it's getting really annoying. You're not only bugging me, you're bugging the people around me too. So if you can just stop that would be great." I said, turning around and walking away.
Yes, I just called him over to say that. But I have nothing else to say to him.
"I don't get you. I really don't" he spat.
"Look for someone else to follow! you're a really sweet guy but you have to accept the fact that I've moved on. I don't regret anything but just stop."
"I just have one question."
"Can you hurry up? I need to eat"
"You knew that Luke talked to me yesterday right?"
"No..." I said, walking closer to him.
"He told me if I don't leave you alone, he's gonna beat me up. Are you seriously gonna let him do that to me?"
"He's just protective."
"In a bad way."
"Just stop." I said turning around and walking away.
He can't stop talking, it's really annoying sometimes.
"So..." Ariana said.
"I think he's gonna leave me alone... but I don't know."
"Let's go eat! I'm starving!" she said, grabbing my arm and dragging me to the lunch room.
