So Tell Me Darling, Do You Wish We'd Fall In Love?

Amber’s P.O.V

I’d decided that watching movies by myself was too boring for my Saturday night. I got ready and took a bus to where I knew my friends would be. I decided not to tell them so it would be kind of like a surprise.

When I got to the street, it was obvious which house the party was at; the house with the loud music and drunken kids from my school taking Myspace pictures. I walked inside to see possibly the worst thing I could ever see; two of my best friends fighting.

“STOP!” I yelled as loud as I could. All colour had drained from my face. I couldn’t be heard over the music. I moved closer.
“STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!”
Trey turned his head slightly and saw me, just as Alex punched him in the jaw. Trey fell and Alex got on top of him, still fighting. Trey lay motionless as Alex continues laying into him, confusion evident all over his face. Eventually, Alex followed Trey’s eye line to me, and got off him. He looked like a puppy with his tail between his legs. Scared and ashamed.

I stood there screaming and yelling, with tears streaming down my face. Neither Trey nor Alex knew what to do, the just stood there looking ashamed, listening to my uncontrollable babble.
“Alex, baby, come on, let’s go upstairs and we’ll get you cleaned up,” cooed Haley. How pathetic, skank. ZOMG! She’s wearing a Paramore t-shirt too! Gr.

Alex followed Haley upstairs, slightly confused. She took his hand to guide him up the stairs. Geez, could she be anymore clingy?

I eventually remembered that Trey was standing in between the couches. He has about twenty or so girls all clinging too him. He just stood there, not moving, staring at me.
“Like, OMG, Trey, are you, like, alright?!”
“OMG, Trey, let me help you get, like, cleaned up!” Hair was flicked, lips were licked, and all of these girls thought they had a chance with him, just because they were offering to clean him up. Pathetic.

It was my job, obviously.

“Come on,” I sighed. The tears had stopped, but I was so upset and angry at the both of them.

Alex’s P.O.V

“Baby? What the hell?!” I yell-whispered. We’d managed to find our way to the bathroom after walking in on couples more times that I’d like to.
“Well, I’ve been thinking. I think I know a way we can both get what we want,” she whispered back.
“Look, Haley, I’m sorry if I’ve been sending you misread signals or something, but I don’t like you like that, sorry.”
“Oh. OH NO! That’s not what I meant,” she laughed, not very quiet anymore.
“Oh?” I asked, confused and feeling like an idiot.
“No, I mean, it’s pretty obvious that you’re, like, in love with Amber and stuff, it’s pretty cute... What I meant was that, I think that you can make her jealous, she’d be stupid not to fall for you, and I can make the person I like jealous. I mean, it’s a win-win situation.”
My jaw dropped. Wasn’t that the situation I’d explained to Seth just a few days ago? I’d felt so cruel, and such a user after, but if it was a strictly platonic relationship from both sides... Hm.
