This was it.

My doomsday.

I stared down at the Math test like it had grown another head and laid alien eggs.
I was going to fail because I had done no studying.

Not that I studied much anyway. My father had been right. The moment I started focusing on my relationship side of my life, my education dropped dramatically. It was like life was telling you to be smart or in love.

I had spent my entire night staring out the window of my bedroom. It was also the reason why I was dead tired. Pencil noises surrounded me as everyone tried to get epic marks from a teacher that was most likely to fail us all anyway.

I couldn't help but think about my parents marriage. It was obvious they weren't going to get better and a part of me wanted to tell them to live apart for the sake of keeping whatever relationship they did have, alive.

The cause was probably me. I knew I was an unwanted child and that they've done the best they could with me, but I was old enough to take care of myself now. I just needed to apply for a job, save up some money and move out.

It wasn't going to be easy because life never is but I just needed to stay focused on my goals. Which led me back to the thought of my father being right about boys distracting me from my main goal. Getting out of the house.

James was a distraction. A nice distraction at that but still. My whole plan to take down Caitlyn was pretty much null and void now, because I had both Chase and James trying to help.

I hadn't wanted their help in the first place, so I've given up on the idea of taking down Queen B.

Now, she was just going to repeatedly treat people like me and others who are less unfortunate to cross her path like shit. Could I do something about it? Yes but did I have a plan? Not anymore.

The math test stared at me, like a laughing pity Caitlyn. I already knew I was going to fail so I scribbled nonsense onto the paper.

Nonsense. The word that pretty much summed up my life right now.

Just a bunch of nonsense.

When the papers were all picked up and I was given a disappointing look from my teacher, the bell went and I stood up, grabbing my bag.

Suddenly, two very small girls blocked my way. Looking up, I raised an eyebrow. "Can I help you?" I asked, confused.

"Depends, we need information," one of the girls replied.

"I'm Christie, and I'm fine thanks, what information?" I asked sarcastically.

"We're in James's friend group, is it true you guys are dating?" The other girl gushed.

I opened my mouth to speak but the first girl spoke again. "Because we totally get it, James is hot as hell even his brother is hot but like we're friends with him and we know what he's like, he may be into you now but trust me it fades pretty fast," the girl said, looking at her friend who nodded.

"What are you talking about" I asked, confused.

"I mean, he's talking shit about Caitlyn cheating on him when he did exactly the same thing to her with Jenna during a party, dude is a good friend but he's a total player," the second said cheerfully.

I frowned. "By the way, we're Sienna and Kylie," they introduced themselves.

"He cheated on Caitlyn?" I asked surprised.

Kylie and Sienna looked at each other. "Hey don't get a bad idea of James, he's a good guy but kinda lame with relationships we don't mean to hurt your feelings, we just wanted to give you a heads up so you don't deep and get your heart broken," Sienna said quickly.
