I woke up to the bright sun light, should of really closed my curtains last night. I glanced to my left to see Tony led there, sleeping. Gently moving his arm that was draped over me, I got up & began getting ready. “Shit!!” I groaned loudly, falling to fall grabbing my foot. I’d stepped on a plug, that really hurts like a bitch you know? I heard a small laugh, Tony was laughing at me. This was no laughing matter. “I hate you.”

“You love me really” he smiled, dammit he looked beautiful in the morning with his sleepy voice. He was beautiful anyway but my point remains. “I’m using your bathroom.”

“No! I need the shower.” I yelled as he jumped out of bed & locked the bathroom door.

Great, how am I suppose to look good for Mike?

My eyes widened at my own thought. No. I promised Tony I’d stay away. That’s exactly what I’m going to do. Throwing a pair of sweats on, I heard the doorbell ring. I raced downstairs & opened the door. “Hi Bian—“ It was Vic, who had suddenly stopped mid-sentence & was staring at my chest. Looking down I realised I was only in my bra.

“Fuck!” I mumbled, covering myself up. “Come in. Give us ten minutes then we’ll be ready” He sat on the couch, putting his feet up on the coffee table. He was soon followed by Mike who did the same. “Make yourselves at home, why don’t you?” I said, walking back upstairs.

“Thanks!” both of the Fuentes’ boys called. Rolling my eyes I went back into my bedroom. I gulped hard at the sight in front of me. His towel hung loosely from his hips as he towel dried his hair. He turned & smiled at me. “Ew Tone, cover up.” I laughed. “Hurry, Vic & Mike are downstairs.”

“Mike?” his voice changed. I nodded & continued getting ready. As soon as we both ready he took my hand & walked downstairs, whispering cute things in my ear that made me laugh/blush. I knew what he was doing. He was trying to make Mike jealous, but come on let’s all admit it. It won’t end pretty for any of us. “Ready boys?” I said, both snapping their necks round at us. I saw Mike’s eyes wander down to where mine & Tony’s were linked. I could see the anger/jealously in his eyes.

“Jaimeeeee!!” I screamed as I entered Chemistry. First lesson of the day, I had it with Tony, Jaime & Mike. Oh how wonderful. Couldn’t get worse, oh it can. “Jaime, Mike, Tony &....” the teacher paused a minute. “...Bianca. Group 1.” I closed my eyes tightly & muttered ‘fuck my actual life with a chainsaw’. He continued making another 5 groups of 4. “Class, you have the full year to come up with a presentation for the end of year exams. Try to work closely & no falling out, remember you have till next June for this.”

Next June?! Oh please, kill me now. Why me with both Mike AND Tony. Why not one or the other? Everytime one of them looked at me, the other gave the other a death glare. More Tony than Mike seeing how Mike would not shut up. “Toilet break. “ I quickly said. I practically ran out the room. I needed some serious space. The tension was killing me. Heading towards my usual smoking place, I leaned against the wall, inhaling deeply on the cigarette. “Hey” said a voice causing me to jump.

“Mike, go away.” I snapped.

“Whats going on?”

“Nothing, I’m just tired.” I smiled fakely at him.

“Tired from fucking Tony all night?” he spat. His eyes widened at his outburst. I raised an eyebrow. An idea coming into my head. A smirk playing on my lips. “So that’s a yes?”

“Jealous are we Mikey?” He shook his head. “Best I’ve ever had.” I said with a wink before walking off. By now Chemistry had finished & Jaime & Tony were waiting for me outside the main doors. I ran up to Tony, wrapping my arms round his neck & kissing him straight on the lips. I pulled away, mouthing a ‘go along with it’ before kissing him again. I saw Mike walk past, smirking into the kiss. As soon as he was gone, I pulled away.

“Best friend’s my ass you lying buggers” chirped up Jaime. Both me & Tony burst out laughing. I had to explain later what I was doing/done. Until then I was playing a game. By lunch time, so was Mike. He pulled some random chick onto his lap, making out with her right in front of me. His eyes never leaving mine as I sort of watched. “Tone baby?”

“Yeah?” he mumbled, not looking up from his book.

“Wanna play a game?”

“Yeah.” He still wasn’t looking at me. I leaned in, whispering my ‘game’ in his ear. “B! Fuck that, I’m not being your little toy.” His voice a little louder than needed. “You eit- that kiss earlier? Part of your game.” I didn’t reply, my eyes were back watching Mike being all ‘cute’ with that chick. His eyes followed me gaze. “Well least he’ll leave you alone.”

“Yeah. I guess.” I smiled at him. Thing was, I didn’t want him to leave me alone. I actually wanted him, but I didn’t know what I wanted. “Bianca Sierra Márquez, stop staring at him.” Fuck. Why did he have to call me by my full name.

“Cesar Antonio Soto Perry, do not use my full name.” His eyes widened. I just smirked at him before getting up & walking off. Oh how I love my best friends. I had no idea what I was going to do, a part of me wanted to jump Tony at every chance I get because well he’s Tony freaking Perry. The other half of me wanted Mike Fuentes. I’m such a slut I know. Heading out off school, I decided to take the shortcut to the park. I needed some alone time.

“Usted no debe estar andando estas calles chica sola, usted nunca sabe quién está alrededor de le mirar.” My whole body froze on the spot. There was only one person who ever talked to me in Spanish, only because he couldn’t speak a word of English.

“¿Cómo me encontró usted? Pensé que estuvo muerto. Me dijeron que estuvo muerto.” In fact, why was I talking to him. I turned on my heels & ran. I couldn’t deal with this, not right now.

How do I tell Tony that he was back? The one person who ruined my life was back & was no doubt going to attempt it again. As soon as I got home, I locked the door. Ran to my room, fell to floor & cried.
