Cyryns P.O.V.
*at school on Tuesday morning*
"Okay everyone know what they're doing?" I ask as we start to walk into school

"Yes. Wait...yeah. Wait...no. Someone explain again. Please?" Zach said and looked around at us

"Ugh. You're staying with me." Jack said

"Other than Zach, we all know all our parts" Daniel reassured

"Okay great. See you guys at lunch" Corbyn said before we separated ways with the boys.

Corbyn and I walked to my locker

"Do you really think this is gonna work?" Corbyn looks at me as I ask him

"Honestly?" He asks and I nod

"I'm not really sure. I hope it does but there is still a chance that it won't" he tells me

I look down

What if this doesn't even faze him?

What if he doesn't stop?

Jonah's P.O.V.
*Monday night*
"where were you?" My mom asks as I walk through the door

"Sorry mom. I lost track of time. I was at Starbucks down the road" I honestly tell her

"Okay. It's okay. I believe you because I trust you. You haven't acted out recently so I fully trust you. If that's where you said you were then you were there." She says but she continues staring at me as if she's waiting for something

"You don't believe me do you?"

"Nope. Not at all."

"So you don't trust me?"

"I do. It's just...Jonah you're a senior in high school. I'm expecting you to act rebellious or even act out the slightest. So either you're really good at hiding stuff or you're a great kid. And it's not that I don't think you're not a great kid it's just...half of the high schoolers would be out dealing drugs or drinking or doing something bad, but you...you were at Starbucks...were you there alone? Don't you have friends? Why were you there? What happened to all the boys? Weren't they yo-"

"Mom, I can assure you I was not drinking anything but coffee, I wasn't doing drugs or anything else. Was j at Starbucks alone, yes. Do I have friends, yes. Why was I there...mom...in all honesty, I'm really stressed. I just needed some time to think so I got some coffee and sat in a booth at Starbucks for three hours. You don't need to worry. I promise."

"You do know that you can talk to me, right? I'm here for you."

"Yeah mom, I know"

"Okay" she smiles

I give her a hug before heading to my room.

Ugh. What do I do?

Should I break up with Shannon?

I mean the whole point was dating her was for je-

*ding*

Unknown: hey Austin, it's the girl from the café

Jonah: um. This isn't Austin...

Unknown: what do you mean? This is the number he gave me

Jonah: uh...I hate to say this but

Unknown: but...he said I was
cute and he liked me...
