So this part starts off when Charlotte ran off...

Charlotte grabbed Sage and Sabrina by the wrist and bolted from the scene.

After running , not really knowing where to , they stopped to catch their breaths. They were currently outside the cafeteria. The area was empty. Lucky.

Charlotte leaned against a locker and held her head in her hands. She slowly peeped through her fingers when she heard laughter.

"What are you guys laughing at?" Charlotte said.

"Hahaha...I'm...s-sorry It's just..." Sage held her mouth to stop laughing but look at Sabrina laughing made it even worse.

"Your face though!" Sabrina said as she and Sage clenched their stomachs in laughter.

"It's not funny." Charlotte said crossing her arms and pouting.

"Ah c'mon were just kidding." Sage stops laughing and looks at Charlotte.

"Yeah. I mean it's not everyday you get your crush - the hot bad boy - defending you from Megan." Sabrina says.

"He would have done it for anyone else." Charlotte says looking at her shoes.

"Yeah. Maybe. But it was really like a movie scene. When your crush comes to help you off the ground and you have a nervous breakdown." Sage begins laughing again.

"If only you could see yourself, Charlotte! You were frozen and you were blushing. If Rider stared at your face close enough, he would have noticed." Sabrina says, joining the laughter once more.

"Urgh-uh! Will I be  teased like this forever?" Charlotte says still embarrassed.

"Probably. But in all seriousness , are you okay?" Sage says placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah you took a hard punch from that bish." Sabrina adds in.

"Yeah my leg is fine. Still tingles though. As for my hip and cheek, it feels like it'll never stop throbbing." She says, scrunching her face and holding her hip.

"You're not gonna walk like an old lady the whole day, are you?" Sage says, pointing to her hip.

Charlotte sends her glare and Sabrina helps her walk. They slowly walk to their first class.

"Kidding! Kidding! But I'm not gonna get over that Rider scene. Someone's definitely got it on video."

"Eeeek!" Charlotte screams and her face pales.

"Uhh...maybe you shouldn't have mentioned that." Sabrina says.

"Well, let's hope that video doesn't go viral around school." Charlotte sighs keeping her head low.

"Well, either way, I still want that video." Sage says , earning an eye roll from both Charlotte and Sabrina.

"Young love is..."

"Confusing? Complicated?" Sage says cutting off Charlotte.

"No. Well  for you maybe." Charlotte says causing Sabrina to laugh. Sage just glared at Sabrina. " For me it's...wonderful. I don't mind that nervous feeling when I see my crush. It makes me...want to love them more."

"Uhhh...like I said confusing. But what would I know. I haven't had a crush." Sage shrugs, both her thumbs hanging on the straps of her bag.

"Hmmm...what about Ben?" Sabrina smirks.

"Pft. That whimp. I only went on a date with him because I felt sorry. It would have been mean to just reject him. Especially after those chocolates. I wanted to let him down gently." Sage says.

"You just wanted the chocolates." Sabrina says and she and Charlotte laugh while Sage rolls her eyes.

"Well they were delicious chocolates! And you guys also came to spy on me...or you actually were eyeing the chocolates." Sage says, making hand gestures. She can never talk without making hand gestures. Very fidgety.

"What? No! We were making sure you guys had a good time." Sabrina says turning the other way.

"Mmhmm. That's why when Ben ran away you guys hijacked the box."

"She's gotta point." Charlotte says, while laughing.

"Yeah, yeah. What ever. But that date was really weird." Sabrina says.

Flashback to 2 months ago...Sage's 'date' with Ben...

"So you liked the movie?" Ben asked Sage as they exited the cinema in the mall and were headed towards the food court.

"Yeah. Was I good I guess." Sage replied. 'That was the only good thing about this date' she mumbled.

"What was that?" Ben turned to Sage.

"Oh! Uh...nothing!. Nothing."

They both sat at a table at McDonald's outside because the sky was clear that night. It was surprisingly empty. Ben and Sage ordered their meals and waited. An awkward silence filled the air and neither of them made eye contact...well Ben was staring.

He was a small built guy with black hair and gorgeous brown eyes. Didn't really talk much and was a weakling. Sage just went on this date because she felt sorry for this fragile guy. She could literally break him in two. He asked her on the date the previous day during lunch and she hesitantly agreed.

Meanwhile, Charlotte and Sabrina were at a table on the other end of the outside eating area. They were holding up two menus to hide their faces.

"Ok I see the box." Charlotte said.

"Now we just wait until Ben goes to the bathroom and snatch it from Sage's bag!" Sabrina said and Charlotte nods as a reply. They ordered their meals and watched the 'pity date', as they would call it, very closely.

"Look Ben...there's something I've got to tell you-"

But Sage was cut off by a woman screaming. A guy grabbed the woman's purse but she wasn't letting go. The man yanked it from her hand and was about to make a run for it.

"Uhh, Sage where are you going?" Ben said waking up from his seat as Sage woke up.

"Well our plans are ruined." Sabrina says putting the menu down.

"Yep." Charlotte says, with the same unamused expression as Sabrina.

Sage ran up to the man and tackled him to the floor. She grabbed the purse from him and got up. But the man got up and grabbed her hand.

"Hey! Let her go!" Ben yelled.

The thief sent him a deadly look and Ben paled. Next thing he bolted away continuously saying 'Not getting involved! Not getting involved!"

Sage rolled her eyes," Whimp."

She kneed the thief in the groin and he hissed in pain. His grip on her loosened and she kicked him to the ground.

"That's what you get for robbing an innocent citizen."

Everyone clapped. Sabrina and Charlotte took this as a chance to grab the chocolates.

Sage saw them and they made a run for it, laughing like crazy.

Sage started laughing as well as to how her date turned upside down. But her laughing stopped when she realized she had to pay everyone's bills.

End flashback...

"Ben never talked to me for a week after that but I let him down gently."

They all started laughing at that memory.

"Well like I said I don't know much about love but it seems as if Rider is getting closer to you." Sage says.

Suddenly the bell rang and they all made their way into their form classroom.

"Well I did know him since 4th grade." Charlotte said and sat in her seat.

"Then what happened? You guys seem so distant." Sabrina says.

"Well we're in 10th grade now. So I guess time made us distant." Charlotte shrugged.

Another school day begun and another day of headaches.

Tadaaaa! See I kept my promise about publishing a chapter today :-)

Anyway hope you guys are enjoying. The next chapter will be about how Charlotte met Rider and when she started liking him.

Ok byeeeee. Have an amazing day, keep believing, dare to dream big and stay unique!
