Naomi's POV

We walked to the group and saw Simone sitting on Ethan's lap, I couldn't help but smile.

"Well Simone," I said in a bad Italian accent she blushed.

"That was terrible," Ethan said.

"But if you hurt her I'm going to break your pretty face," I said serious.

"Skye, you know me better than that," He said and two arms wrapped around me waist. "I don't hit girls."

"Seriously? You're going with that?" I asked.

"Except you, but that was it," he said and I smiled and I looked at Jake, he pecked my lips.

"Don't forget homecomings Friday," he said.

"I'm not," I said. "How can I forget when I have to wear a dress?"

"Oh Skye, are you going to see Dre today?" Ethan asked and I looked at him.

"Yeah, I just want to get it over with," I said.

"You know Brice has to go to right?" He asked and Jake kissed my neck.

"What'd he do?" I asked and he shrugged.

"He's just like you, we never know," he said and they laughed.

"How do you two know each other?" Simone asked.

"We grew up together," He said and he kissed her cheek and she blushed, he smiled.

"Caden said your mom had a appointment today," Jake said.

"She's probably mad at me," I said.

"What'd you do?" Ethan asked.

"Mama's pregnant," I said.

"What?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said. "I got mad at her," He rolled his eyes. "I gotta go." I started walking away, but Jake grabbed me.

"Come back here," he said and I looked at him, he intertwined his fingers with my and kissed my head. "Are you mad at me?"

"No, I'm not mad at all," I said and smiled, we walked to class and sat down. The teacher walked in and that boring class went on and the bell rang. Jake grabbed my hand and we walked to second period.

"Ok everyone, we're starting a project today," Dennis said.

"Really? Come on," Justin said.

"You will present it," he said and I looked at him. "It's about conspiracies."

"What?" Kim asked.

"You seriously don't know what a conspiracy is?" Xavier asked. "You failed dude." Yeah, like your dads condom, I'll keep that to myself.

"You will choose your own conspiracy," he said. "This is a big part of your grade."

"Can we work with someone else?" Hunter asked.

"Yes, but you don't have too," he said. "Go." People ran to me.

"Guys, I'm working alone," I said and they groaned.

"Come on Naomi," Dustin said.

"I would end up doing all the work," I said.

"Exactly," he said.

"Bye, bye," I said and they walked away and I walked to the teacher. "Dennis, can I go get some water?"

"Sure," he said and I walked out and I heard voices. That made me sound crazy.

"Leave me alone," I heard a girl voice.

"Come on, baby," I heard a boy voice.

"Please," Leanna said and I peeked around the corner and saw a boy have Leanna trapped. She slapped him.

Go Leanna! He drew back with a fist and swung but it never hit her, his fist was in my hand. I looked and saw it was Liam.

"Liam," I said and he smirked.

"Hey Hensley, it's nice to see you again," he said. "How's Eastside?"

"Get out of here Liam," I said and he grabbed Leanna.

"I can't leave my girl," he said.

"I'm not your girl," she snarled and I pushed him and he let go of Leanna.

"Leanna run," I said and we ran down the hall.

I was grabbed and pinned against the locker. He swung to punch me, but I kicked him and punched him. I swung, but he caught my fist, I swung with my other one and he caught it, I kneed him and he let go.

"You just had to come back," I snapped and punched him. Someone grabbed me and I struggled and Liam got up and he clenched his fists.

"Let me go, Jake!" I yelled.

"Stop, Naomi!" He yelled and I did.

"Why'd you fucking come back?" I yelled.

"I came back for a reason!" He yelled and I shrugged Jake off.

"What reason was that?" I spat.

"To tell you the truth," he said.

"Why would I want it now Liam?" I asked. "It's over."

"No it's not," he said.

"Liam, I don't care," I said. "Just don't even try."

"Hensley-" the bell rang.

"Bye Liam," I said and walked down the hall, I walked to my class and sat down.

The day went by and the final bell rang. I walked out with Jake and walked to the group.

"I'll text you later," I said and pecked his lips and started walking away but he pulled me back. "Yes?" He kissed me and we pulled apart. I walked to my car and got in, I drove to Eastside and got out. I walked around the corner and seen Dre. "Hey, Dre." he stood up and got in my face.

"Hey, Skye," he said.

"What'd I do?" I asked.

"First of all, who the hell have you been fighting?" He asked.

"I fought someone on Westside, chill," I said.

"One, don't tell me to chill, I'm not one of your little friends," he said. "Where's Alexis?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen her," I said and someone grabbed my hand, I looked and saw Ethan and Brice grabbed my other hand.

"Can I talk to Skye?" Ethan asked and I heard anger in his voice.

"No," I said.

"Do you really want to make me even more mad?" Ethan gritted through his teeth and looked at me.

"Fine," I said and he dragged me around the building and to the tree.

"What's wrong with you Skye?" He spat.

"What Ethan?" I spat and he clenched his fists.

"Why'd you fight him?" He snapped.

"What was I suppose to do Ethan, let him beat my ass?" I spat and he clenched his jaw, I looked at his fists and touched them. "Calm down, Ethan."

"No Naomi! You know the code and you still fought him!" He yelled.

"He hit me first!" I yelled and he got closer to me.

"And I'll hit you last," he whispered through gritted teeth.

"Just calm down," I said and looked in his eyes.

"Why should I calm down?" He gritted through his teeth.

"You just got me back, do you really want to lose me again?" I asked and he backed up.

"All I ever was protect you, but you're so hard headed, Naomi," he said.

"It's not my fault," I said.

"Then who's fault is it?" He snapped.

"Just leave me alone Ethan," I said and my look hot stone cold. "But read my lips, if you lay a hand is Simone, I will beat your ass." With that, I walked past him bumping his arm.

"Wait Skye," he said, but I kept walking and I walked back to Dre.

"Can I just see what my punishment is so I can leave?" I asked.

"Ethan, get your ass over here," Dre spat and Brice grabbed my hand, I saw the handprint on his face. Ethan came around the corner and he grabbed my hand but I grabbed his wrist.

"What'd I do?" He asked and before Dre could answer Ray walked over and Ethan looked at him. Ray walked in front of me but Ethan put me behind him. "Don't touch her," he slapped Ethan. "Hit me all you won't but you're still not touching her." I looked over at Dre and mouthed 'I'm sorry'.

"Ray, back up," Dre said and he did, Dre grabbed me from behind Ethan. "You left us, we're your family. We made some wrong choices but you left so easy."

"Dre," I said. "Just hit me and hug me." He moved and I closed my eyes, instead of feeling a stinging sensation on my cheek. I felt soft lips kissing my cheek and arms wrapped around me pulling me to a warm body.

"I missed you," he said.

"I missed you too Dre," I said. "I don't miss the punishments though."

"If that boy hurts you, I'm hurting him," he said.

"Not if I get to him first," I said and looked at him.

"You have an assignment," he said. "Where's Jake?"

"Probably at home," I said.

"Call him," he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Just do it," he said.

"This isn't a Nike commercial," I said and he gave me his look. "I'm going." I pulled out my phone, I clicked his contact. It rang and he picked up.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Hey,"I said.

"Hey, are you finished with Dre?" He asked.

"No," I said and started walking off but Dre grabbed my back pocket. "Dre, let go."

"Then get back here," he said as he pulled me back.

"Hey, do you want to come over after you finish?" He asked.

"Sure," I said. "One sec," I put it on mute. "Why'd you tell me to call him?"

"You'll see," he said and I took it off mute.

"Hello?" I called.

"Jake, stop being a bitch," a girl said.

"Aye, watch your mouth and you better check that tone," he snapped.

"No, I'm bout to slap you," she snapped.

"If you hit me, I'm going to hit you back," Jake said.

"Oh wow, you'll hit a girl?" She asked.

"No, hit me and that gives me a reason to hit you back," he said. "Yours just a brat, just go away." I heard silence. "Wait Kay, don't cry."

"I thought you loved me Jake," she said and sniffled.

"I do love you, baby girl," he said softly.

"Promise?" She asked.

"I promise," he said.

"I love you too," she said and I heard running footsteps.

"Hey Jake," I said.

"It's not what you think." he said quickly. "Kaylee is my sister."

"I know," I said and chuckled.

"Good," he said.

"Ok Skye, get off the phone," Dre said.

"You can ask nicer," I said and rolled his eyes.

"Please," he said.

"I gotta go Jake," I said.

"Ok bye," he said and hung up.

"What was the point of that?" I asked.

"To see if you're the jealous type," he said.

"I can be, sometimes," I said. "What's mine is mine, I don't share."

"Is Jake?" Brice asked.

"He can be," I said. "I told him you guys were always going to be in my life." Ethan hugged me from behind.

"Good, because we're not leaving," He said and kissed my cheek.

"You guys have a assignment," Dre said.

"Skye, were older now, don't get bored," Brice said and I smirked.

"I have a boyfriend now," I said. "Plus, you liked it."

"I was a hormonal, curious boy, I don't regret it," he said.

"Aye, you have to sneak out," Dre said.

"Ok," we said.

"Go, Skye you're in charge," he said and he explained the plan, we left and I went to Jakes, I knocked on the door and a woman answered.

"Hey," she said.

"I'm here for Jake," I said and she let me in.

"He's in his room," she said and I walked upstairs and I knocked on the door.

"Come in," he said and I walked in and he was playing the Xbox, I climbed next to him.

"If you go around the corner and under the bridge you'll diss the police," I said and he did.

"What? You're a girl gamer?" He asked.

"Maybe," I said and he smiled.

"So how was the meeting?" He asked.

"I got in trouble but it's good. I also got into it with Ethan," I said.

"Dang," he said and he pecked my lips, his phone rang, he pressed ignore.

"Who was it?" I asked and he shrugged. "What?"

"Nobody," he said.

"Jake!" Someone yelled.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"Just come on," he said. "When we get down there, leave." I wasn't going to argue with Jake, we walked down.

"Why is there a girl here?" the boy asked and I didn't look at him.

"Leave her alone," Jake said.

"Look at me," he said and I did, I couldn't believe who it was. He smirked.

"Naomi, go," Jake said.

"No Hensley, stay." he said.

"Don't," I gritted through my teeth.

"Oh baby, I don't have to touch you," he said and I clenched my fists. "Aw, are you mad, Mami?" I looked at Jake who was more confused than mad.

"Jake, is this your brother?" I asked.

"He's my foster brother," Jake said.

"Oh by the way, heard about you and Liam," he said. "Good fight."

"You can't touch me," I said.

"I could ruin you right now," he said and smirked.

"Don't you dare," I gritted through my teeth and I stood in front of Jake.

"Is someone scared of Jake?" He asked and I turned my head towards Jake and back at Brandon.

"I'm not scared of him," I said.

"Oh wait, you're not scared of him, you're scared of what he can do. Just like Ethan," he said. "Oh and Jake, if you touch the back of her ear, she'll shiver." Jake did.

"Stop. Who told you that?" I asked.

"I know more about you than you think," he said. "By the way, when you get the chance, come by Westside."

"I'm not that stupid," I said.

"That's debatable on some parts Mami," he said.

"I swear, I'll do it Brandon," I spat.

"You can't, don't forget who's behind you," he said and came near me. He put his hands on my waist and looked at Jake, he looked back at me. He kissed my neck. "You have a good one here Jake."

"How do you know her?" Jake gritted through his teeth.

"I'm Westside," he said and Jake grabbed my waist. "Oh, is Jake getting protective?" His phone rang and he answered it.

"Hello?" He answered. "Why? Maybe, what do you got?" He looked at me. "No, I haven't seen her." I furrowed my eyebrows. "No, don't touch her." "Because, certain reasons. No I don't like her. Ok, bye." he hung up and looked at me. "Be glad I saved your ass."

"Why?" I asked.

"I don't know honestly," he said and my phone rang.

"Yeah?" I answered.

"Hey, where are you at?" Ethan asked.

"Somewhere," I said.

"Stop playing," he said annoyed.

"I'm not playing," I said.

"Just go home," he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Just do it," he said.

"No, tell me first," I said.

"Your mom," he said and I froze. "She has strep throat and I know you don't have tonsils."

"You scared me, what's wrong with you?" I snapped.

"I'm sorry," he said. "Do you want me to watch Casey?"

"No, I'll get Luke to come get her," I said. "I'm on the way, bye." I hung up. "I gotta go." I stuck my phone in my bra.

"Where are you going?" Jake asked.

"My mom," I said. "And Casey." I looked at Brandon.

"Ok bye," Jake said and pecked my lips.

"Bye," I said and I walked out and I walked down the street and I was grabbed and pinned against the alley wall. I looked and my eyes met with blue eyes that belonged to a devil.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What's up? People that have already read the beginning probably noticed I took some stuff out and changed some stuff you. Reading it over, it honestly made no sense.

Just to clarify everything. Naomi's full name is, Naomi Skye Hensley. If someone calls her Skye, they are Eastside. If someone calls her Hensley, they are Westside.

Ok, I hope that's not as confusing at it was before. I'm working to make chapters longer and less confusing. I use to never make author notes but I'm more comfortable around you guys now.

This book is not gonna be like mean girls, it's gonna change. And if you're gonna hate on my book, then don't read it, I'm mean seriously. There's a different in a opinion that you don't like it and why than hating on it. It's simple as that.

Anywhore, peace! ✌🏼️
