∆ Courtney's Confession∆

Arianna's P.O.V

I look at every possible direction for an escape route. I give my phone a killer glare and try walking off to my locker unnoticed, when Gwen catches me by the shoulder and pulls me back, resuming her make out session. I silently burst into regretful tears.

Regret is such a pointless emotion.

Shut up, Magnus Bane.

Ok, so before ya'll get confused, I'd like to explain this unholy situation to ya'll.

------- I hour ago-------

I woke up this morning to see Gwen's car outside my house. I assumed she came to pick me up, so I did all my chores in like record time and got in the backseat, when she turned her head to look at me. As if I were Darth Vader's long, lost forgotten son.

''Arianna ?'', she asked me, her face filled to the brim with confusion.

''Sup Gwen. Thanks a lot for picking me up. I really didn't feel like driving.'' I say and spread my legs in the backseat. Normally I'd go for passenger seat, but my legs were itching and the backseat was calling out to me.

''I-I didn't exactly come to pick you up.'' she said and looked away.

''What ? Then why was your-''

''Hey, babe.'' said a manly figure and sat in the passenger seat, pecking Gwen's lips. I rotated my head to face him and then looked at Gwen with a raised eyebrow.

''Seriously ? You came all the way, leaving my poor Holly behind, just for some Chase Patricks when your amazing best friend was right next door ? OH MY GOD, I cant believe you'd do something like that.'' I put my fingers over my eyes and start to fake-cry. I glance at Chase through the slits of my fingers, to see him communicating with Gwen through sign language. Chase was rolling his eyes at me while Gwen held a pleading expression in her eyes. I rolled my eyes and sat firmly.

''If you want I can just use my car'.' I say and their moods instantly light up. ''But I aint doing that, so might as well get going so that we don't be late.'' I say and lean back in the seat. Chase shoots me a murderous look, to which I just smirk.

I plug in my earphones and tune into Christian Collins's latest single 'AMAZING'. If I ever meet this guy, I'd right away confess my love for him. God, I'd make sure that I'm married by the time I return to New York. He-

I'm interrupted as Gwen drove on a hump, may I add purposely, that made me hit the car's roof. I silently curse under my breath and rub my head. I looked out and saw that we had reached the school.

''Thanks Gwen. You too, Mr. Booty Shake.'' I wink and leave them both dumbfounded. I step into the school building when Chase grips my wrist and pulls me back.

''Oh no, you're not getting away with that.'' he says and pulls my hair. I gasp at him and take the waterbottle out of my backpack. I unscrew the cap and him, sensing danger backs away slowly. But that didn't stop me from emptying the whole bottle on his precious gelled hair. As I ran to my locker, Gwen caught him and started making out with him. And here we are now.

------- Present -------

I pray to the dear Lord above for a way out when I spot Jayden looking for something, or more specific, someone.

''Jay !'' I call out. He froze in his tracks and searched from which direction had the voice come. His eyes lock with mine and he slowly made his way to me.

What the fuck, I need his fucking help and here he walks as if he's having a Calvin Klein photoshoot.

''Hey, Ari.'' he says and pulls me into a hug, resulting in me getting out Gwen's clutch. Gwen gives me a look as if to say, 'We're not done here'.
