Ari's pov

I looked up at his black hair sticking out in all directions.
I could see Troy's jaw muscle tick as he waited for me to tell Quinton off , so we could continue.

But did I really want to ruin our friendship ?

I could at least hear him out .  Right?

I put my hand on Troy's shoulder ,giving it a squeeze.

"Roy I need to talk to him either way ... We'll talk later ?"

His face dropped but I kissed his cheek and he left the room with a small smile on his face.

Now that I was time to talk , we both just stared at one another.

"Ari , I'm - I'm so sorry . Just  I.. I don't even know how to explain it. God I like you a lot , I heard the boys talking about that tape and I didn't want you to leave me . But in the end I did something wrong.
Please give me another chance Ari, please baby ... "

I shut my eyes in annoyance ,

HE FUCKING KNEW AND HE STILL ACTED THAT WAY !

But you used him as well .....

Oh shut up

I opened my eyes to see that he was closer , my eyes widened as I prepared myself to push him away but he pulled me against him . Our lips were brushing against each others .

"Quinton ... I can't do this ...stop "
It only came out as a whisper but I knew he heard it.

"Why? Come on , Ari .. I made you moan just by kissing you . You know you enjoyed our relationship. I'll work on my jealousy -"

I arched my back to create some space in between us ,
"Shut up , I liked Troy even before our relationship . Yes , I'm very wrong for jumping into this but you knew it as well. Are you seriously asking me to choose a relationship based on sexual desires only over a relationship that involves lo-" I caught myself before that word could slip out.

He noticed it too . I tugged his arms off me and stepped back .

"You love him? Of course the girl I like , loves someone else . " His lip corners were turned downwards.

I knew he was genuinely upset.

I knew this relationship was based on wrong roots as well.

"I'm sorry Quinton . You'll find someone soon , don't worry . But can you just please be happy for me and my happiness ? Can we go back to being friends ? "

He nodded and left the room.

It was as if  a heavy weight was lifted off my shoulders . But I still had to talk to a specific brunette.

I looked up at the wall clock , we just had an hour left. So instead of finding him I packed up both of our clothes first. Was it weird ? Not really . It's normal for us to do .

By the time I was done I only had 15 minutes left , I could already hear Bryce shouting at Griffin to get ready .

I went downstairs with the bag in my hands.
I looked around the house after dropping our bag near the entrance . I checked everywhere , Troy wasn't in the house. Now I started to panic. Then a thought struck my mind. He must be near the pool .

I walked upto the glass door near the pool, there he was sitting by himself.

I walked slowly towards him , his BA was facing me so he didn't notice me approaching.

I hugged him from behind and kissed his cheek ,
"Tr-"

Before I could even completely say his name he shrugged my arms off of himself. I just sat there thinking what I did wrong now.

I didn't even have time to persuade him to talk to me before Bryce called for both of us .
