Sawyer sat at her kitchen table eating a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch while her mother sat on the couch watching the morning news. The front door opened, and quickly shut right after. Rue walked inside.

"Uh, oh."sawyer muttered, glancing at her phone seeing the time.

"Where have you been?" Leslie stood up from the couch, facing Rue.

"I'm sorry. My phone died." Rue lied.

"Bullshit. You're doing drugs." Leslie raised her voice. Rue's face dropped, as she quickly walked over to sawyer smacking her on the back of the head.

"Ow!" Sawyer stood up, pushing Rue away from her. She placed her hand on the spot on her head that hurt.

"I'm not doing drugs. I don't know what she told you but whatever it was, its not true." Rue angrily paced around the house.

"Hey! I didn't even know you were gone." Sawyer shouted as she put her bowl in the sink. Sawyer wasn't one to scream or argue but when it came to her sister that was a different side of Sawyer.

"Then where have you been? And why weren't you answering your phone? Why are you sneaking into the house?" Leslie asked in a stern tone, crossing her arms.

"I was with someone." Rue mumbled.

"Who?" Leslie spoke.

"It... It doesn't matter, Mom." Rue sighed.

"It matters, Rue. It matters. You're doing drugs." Leslie raised her voice causing Gia to come out of her room, "Gia, go back to sleep."

"Rue, are you... are you okay?" Gia muttered, rubbing her eyes.

"I'm fine. You can go back to sleep." Rue assured.

Sawyer hoped off the counter and walked into Gia's room, "she's fine, mom's just being a mom and getting on her for having sex without protection."

"I thought Rue was gay?" Gia laid down.

"What made you think that?" Sawyer laid next to her younger sister. "Not sure she just seems like it." Gia shrugged.

"I see it too. Has she said anything to you about her friend Jules?" Sawyer looked down at Gia.

"Nothing really, she just ranted a bit about how Jules is obsessed with some guy named Tyler or something." Gia mumbled as she laid her head on sawyer's stomach, "Why are you up at 5:30 in the morning?"

"Couldn't sleep, lots on my mind." Sawyer stated as Gia wrapped her arms around her.

"Understandable." Gia nodded slowly falling back asleep.

      Sawyer woke up in her sisters bed, but she was already gone. She sat upright, and glanced over at the time seeing that it was 9am.

Sawyer quickly got out of the bed and made her way to her bedroom. She opened up her closet pulling out a body suit,with Yeezy slides, and tossed them on her bed before, She made her way to her bathroom and took a quick shower, washing her face, and brushing her teeth inside.

Once she got out she got out she went back to her bedroom getting dressed, and applying lip gloss along with her perfume.

Sawyer got her phone off the charger seeing Ashtray had texted her.

      At that sawyer sat on the edge of her bed growing nervous of the thought of getting close to Ashtray again. Things ended so badly last time and she wasn't sure if she wanted to open that chapter back up.

Sawyer let her thoughts get the best of her and told him not to come, instead she went to school.

"Wow can you believe freshman year is really going to be over soon?" Sawyer asked as she looked up at the ceiling, playing with her nails.

She was laying on Troy's bed, while he was on the sitting rolling a joint beside her.

"It's whatever." Troy shrugged his shoulders.

"Kinda bummed Ash couldn't be here with us to celebrate the last day of school." Sawyer admitted.

"I'm tired of hearing about him 24/7." Troy spoke with attuide in his tone.

"Um why he's our bestfriend and we hangout with him literally everyday so of course it's weird without him." Sawyer sat up.

"Do you like him? Like like him?" Troy glanced over at her.

Sawyer frowned, getting super nervous. The answer was obviously no right? That was only her bestfriend nothing more.... Right?

"Obviously not." She shook her head trying not to look nervous, "why would you even say that."

"Are you trying to convince me or yourself." Troy now didn't take his eyes off of her.

"I'm not trying to convince anyone anything, because it's not true." Sawyer sighed.

"Prove it." Troy snickered, to which sawyer frowned.

"What?" Sawyers heart rate went up.

"I said prove it. If you don't like him then obviously you like me right? There's no way you just hangout with us all the time and don't have feelings toward neither of us."

Sawyer took a deep breath. He was right. But she liked them both. But she definitely felt closer to Ashtray.

"Look it's okay, you don't have to be scared, I like you too. I always have." Troy scooted closer to sawyer.

"You have?" She asked.

"Obviously." Troy placed his hand on her thigh.

"Oh..." Sawyer lightly smiled, "I-I don't know what to say."

"There's nothing to say." Troy placed the put out joint on his dresser and slowly began to kiss Sawyer.

This was her first time being this close or intimate with anyone. Well, at least that's what she told everyone.

Sawyer started kissing him back, placing her hands on the back of his head. Troy slowly leaned more into Sawyer causing her to fall now laying on her back.

Troy stayed on top of her not breaking the kiss, "is this okay?" He asked as one of his hands made it to the button of her jean shorts.

Sawyer let out a soft, "yea." Shaking her head.

Troy started kissing her neck and just as he was about to unbutton her shorts there was a knock on his door. Before he could say anything it burst open.

Only to reveal Ashtray with pizza and a tub of ice cream in his hands.

Troy and sawyer quickly got up.

"What the fuck?" Ashtray frowned looking between the two.

Troy knew how Ashtray felt about Sawyer. Pretty much everyone knew expect for her. But overtime Troy grew jealous of how close Ashtray and Sawyer were.

"What are you doing here?" Troy questioned.

Sawyer was frozen. She didn't know what to say. She just stood defeated, staring up at Ashtray.

"Are you fuckin serious?" Ashtray shifted his attention to Troy.

"Come on bro calm down this isn't that serious." Troy tried to reason.

Ashtray dropped the pizza and ice cream tub onto the ground as he threw himself at Troy, punching him right in the face.

The two boys began to go at it.

Ashtray had pinned Troy on the ground, "you guys have been lying to me all along?" He snickered to himself in between punches.

"Guys stop!" Sawyer shouted.

They wouldn't listen to sawyer. She used all her force by kicking Ashtray as hard as she could, causing him to get off of Troy.

"Your just mad that I what you can't have." Troy stood himself up.

"Oh shut the fuck up and go look in a mirror we both know you won't have a good football season with a fucked up wrist." Ashtray scoffed at Troy, "and you. Don't ever speak to me again. You're dead to me." He coldly said to Sawyer before storming out.
