"Live a little, señorita." I said, quoting something he always says to me whenever he needs to convince me to do some mischief. I put my arms around his neck, watching as his face finally breaks out into a smile.
"Okay." He rolled his eyes, slowly w...

"Ugh." Gwen groaned beside me. "Why does this bitch have to be in the play?!"
"Who?" I asked.
"Britney, who else?"
"Babe, she's playing Emily. I'll be the one pretending to be in love with her. I'm repulsed by the thought." I rolled my eyes.
No one was ready to play Emily and Britney is somewhat a decent actress, so we had no choice but to cast her. I don't like Emily much but even her character deserved better than fucking Britney.
Britney never did or say anything to me but she did pick fights with my best friend so she's automatically my enemy too. No one fucks with Gwen.
"Please watch the lightings." I heard Kenz order from the corner of the stage. Funny how the whole room is full of strange voices but the only voice I can focus on was hers. It's not even fun anymore, it's just straight up pathetic.
Kenz is... well, she's just hard to get. I'm not sure why she doesn't give me much attention. Maybe she likes someone else. But the problem is that I just can't let her go, no one else has ever made me feel this way before.
We've fucked before. I even tried to talk to her about that but she just waved it off by saying that it was just a 'in the moment' thing. That did hurt.
My thoughts were disrupted by Asher entering my view as he came over to greet Gwen.
"Hello, Munchkin." He smiled at her, leaning in to give her a kiss which disgustingly left her sighing against his mouth. They still haven't fucked yet. I don't know why though, because from my point of view, they always seem like they just want to rip each other's clothes off.
"Ew, ew, ew. Save the PDA." I interfered in, partly because I can't stand it and partly because I'm single and jealous as fuck.
"Get over it, Jaxon." Asher rolled his eyes playfully, finally forcing himself off my best friend. "I'll be back, I've got detention." He turned his focus back on Gwen.
"Why do you have a detention?" Gwen asked him.
"I may or may not have argued with that rude Ms. Blaire." He replied.
"Ms. Blaire? That loony librarian? I swear your detention is worth it. She really is rude." I joined in on the conversation.
"I know right?" Asher said to me, patting my shoulder. He then turned again to Gwen, pecking her lips and waving at her as he left. "See you, bro." He said to me and I nodded with a smile.
"Oh fuck." Gwen muttered, turning my attention on her, "Mr. Ravi was calling for me like half an hour ago and I forgot." She whined.
"I'll come with you." I offered and followed her as she made her way out of the theatre room. Once we stepped out of the room, Gwen turned to close the door.

"Uh oh." My smile fell when I saw someone walking towards me. I hate this someone.
"What?" Gwen asked but got her answer as she turned around to see for herself. The hallways were deserted as we were rehearsing after school hours.
"Hi Jax, can I talk to you?" Theo asked. I didn't get to react when Gwen spoke up, standing infront of me.
"Yes, sure. You can talk." She crossed her arms over her chest. She seemed so small yet so confident. She looked absolutely adorable.
"I- um- I was kinda hoping to talk to you in private." He stammered out, intimidated by the girl defending me.
"You can say whatever you want right here." Gwen talked again. I'm not even going to speak, I'll let her handle this one.
"Go on." I said shortly.
He sighed heavily but started, "I really- wanted us to talk things over- and- and maybe we left things at a bad place and I just- Jesus, stop glaring at me like that, Evans!"
"I can't even glare at you, huh? You fucking cheated on him, Theo. Get over it, you're never getting back together with my best friend." She said with a straight face. I've never been more proud of her.
"I gotta leave for now or Mr. Ravi is gonna yell at me again." She said to me, then opened the door and pointed her gaze to a certain someone.
"Kenzie! Can you come here?!" Gwen called out, making me furrow my brows. Kenz nodded and made her way to us with concern written all over her face.
"What's wrong?" She asked softly, switching her gazes between the three of us.
"Nothing. I'll come right back. Til then, can you be with Jax while his toxic ex tries to manipulate him into getting back together with him?" She threw a fake smile at Theo while saying the last words, making me let out a chuckle.
"Sure, why not." Kenz said, now glaring at Theo. Gwen left and now she stood infront of me. Theo must be shaking in his converse.
"You guys do know that I can defend myself, right?" I spoke, biting my lip at the end.
"Are you gonna leave by yourself or do I need to make that happen?" Kenz said to Theo, completely ignoring what I just said.
"Do you think I'm scared of you?" Theo chuckled without humor.
"You should be." She replied.
"I didn't expect this from you, Jaxon. Hiding behind whores like her-"
Too far.
I punched him.
Hard.
"Shouldn't have said that." I muttered, glancing at my knuckles once only to see they had turned red. I looked down at the motherfucker I just punched, he had his bloody nose pressed into his hand while he whined like the fucking pussy he was.
I knelt down infront of him, grabbing his hair to make him look up at me. "You say one word about her and I'll kill you myself."
"Jax, it's okay." Kenz said weakly from behind me and I stood up, facing her. "No, it's not." I let out through slightly gritted teeth, grabbing her hand to lead her out of this mess.
"Why did you do that, Jax?" She asked once, then twice, then again. "Answer me, dammit!" She pulled her hand out of my grasp and I took in a deep breath, turning to her.
"You wanna hear why? Then hear it, Kenzie. I like you. I like you so much that it physically hurts. And no matter how hard I try, you'll never like me the same." I let out in one breath. "Can't you see that I'm hanging on just by a thread? Do you do this on purpose, Kenzie? Is that it? You like bringing me down to my knees? If you don't like me in that way, then why did you sleep with me? Why did you play with my feelings? You just called it a one night stand, did you ever even think what if I didn't want it to be a one night stand? All this time I've been nothing but kind to you. But you're hurting me, Kenz. I can't pretend anymore. I can't pretend like I'm not fucking crazy about you, because I am. But you don't care."
