third person pov

valerie visually got confused, and went to maddys side to read her phone. on it, was a text from kat, saying valerie lost her virginity at a park.

"chris." she whispered, feeling her heart drop. maddy looked at her, "did you?"

"no, maddy, i didn't." valerie said, grabbing her phone and calling chris. he didn't answer, and she knew exactly why.

"there's a picture, val.." maddy said, but she was only making it worse for her younger sister.

"who has all seen that?" valerie asked her.

"troy sent it to kat so.. a lot of people?" maddy said awkwardly, and valerie opened her mouth in shock, dropping back on her bed.

"the fucking twins." she exclaimed under her breathe, shaking her head.

ashtray was right, and this was her karma. ashtray, she thought. she quickly sat up, and sent him a text. however, time passed and he didnt answer her. she hoped he wouldn't believe it, but who knows.

"we have to go.. val." maddy told her sister, causing her to sigh and get up. she followed her sister outside, still looking at her phone to see if she got any messages, and she eventually got a call from vic.

"girl, you lost your virginity?" victoria asked.

"no, he's lying." valerie sighed.

"i'm so sorry, val." victoria said, and valerie just shook her head. "it's fine, see you at the party." and hung up.

maddy looked over at her sister, she saw she was stressed and worried about the rumor. she grabbed valerie's hand, "it's okay, val. if anyone says something i'll beat their ass, okay?"

val chuckled, "okay."

meanwhile, ashtray was at laurie's. he had no clue about the rumor, until the drug deal was over and he checked this phone while fezco was yelling at rue. he saw the picture of valerie and chris, and it pissed him off. he didn't believe it for a second, he knew what kind of guy chris had to be, hanging out with troy and roy. he saw that valerie had texted him, and replied telling her he was on the way to the party.

valerie got to the party before he did, and it felt like all eyes were on her. she hated that when she walked by someone her age, they would start whispering and pointing at her. "it's not fucking true!" she shouted, causing everyone to look away. maddy laughed, putting her hands on valerie's shoulders.

eventually, maddy and valerie parted and valerie began looking for chris. however, was stopped by lexi. "hey, have you seen cassie?"

"no, i'm sorry." valerie responded, and lexi gave her a thankful smile, before walking off.

in a crowd of people, two older guys stopped her and looked her up and down. "i knew you and your sister were freaks." they laughed, and valerie rolled her eyes. "move." was all she said to them, pushing through them and to the back yard.

she felt like she was getting choked, everyone was talking about her and looking at her, her anxiety was rising and she could find ashtray, victoria or chris.

victoria though, had been looking for valerie the whole time. she made sure to miss roy, and once she found valerie outside she sat next to her. "hey." she spoke softly.

valerie opened her eyes from having them closed, and smiled at vic. "oh, hey. i was looking for you."

victoria smiled back, both of them looking at the fire in front of them. "you don't believe it, right?" valerie asked her.

victoria was quick to shake her head, "no."

valerie let out a thankful sigh, and put her head on victorias shoulder. "that guys looking at you." valerie pointed out, a boy their age looking at victoria.

victoria chuckled, "he looks nice."

"go." valerie raised up, and gestured for her to go to him.

"really?" victoria squinted her eyes, and valerie's nodded, so vic did. "okay.." victoria sighed, and made her way to the boy.

val smiled, and turned her head, where she finally saw ashtray. he was sitting next to a bunch of people, the backpack he always carried around, by him. she got up, sending victoria a little wave before walking over to ashtray.

ashtray head turned from the group of people, to valerie. valerie smiled a little, rocking back and forth on her heels as the group of older teenagers looked at her also.

"yo, i'll be back later." ashtray told them, and stood up, ignoring the groans and responses the group gave him, and put his arm around valerie's waist, pulling her away from them.

"hey." she spoke, the two away from everyone.

"hey. you look good, ma." ashtray complimented, bringing blush to her face.

"you look good, too." valerie said, and ashtray smirked.

her eyes moved from his and to the people around her, people still looking at her and whispering. valerie noticed ashtray looking at them too, and wondered if knew about the rumor. "you don't believe it, do you?"

ashtray turned to her, as she tilted her head to the side. "the rumor.. it's just a rumor." she said, na she nodded. "nah, i know." he reassured.

valerie let out a sigh of relief, and turned to the inside of the house. "do you wanna go dance or something?" she asked him.

he shrugged, letting her pull him inside. the two went to the kitchen, where she grabbed a water and then pulled him to where other people were dancing. she didn't want to dance, she was too nervous. but she didn't know where to go, or what to do.

her head turned and she saw fezco and lexi, making her smile. "no fucking way." she exclaimed, making ashtray turn to where she was looking. his eyebrows furrowed, "who's she?"

"my friend, lexi." she answered, before the two moved back near the back door. valerie decided it was more peaceful, and quiet outside.

ashtray pulled out a rolled blunt from his pocket, and turned to her. "wanna hit this?"

she pursed her lips, "sure."

just as he was about to light it, his phone rung. he quickly picked it up, holding it to his ear. "yo, what's good?"

"start the car and be ready." valerie heard, since the two were sitting so close together.

"alright, sure thing." ashtray said, before hanging up and then turning to the girl next to him.

her eyes followed him up, before she saw troy in the kitchen and scoffed. "if you wanna leave wit me we gotta go now." he told her, and she nodded, standing up. "yeah, i'll be there in a second."

he hesitated, but nodded and made his way over to rue, as valerie made her way to troy.

"oh shit.." valerie heard troy say, already moving before she even reached him.

"what the fuck is wrong with you?" she asked him, hitting his chest.

"yo.. it was a joke." he shook his head.

"a joke? everyone thinks i fucked chris at a park!" she shouted, hitting him again.

he grabbed her arms, "alright! alright. i'll handle it."

she shook her head, "yeah, do that." and began walking to the front door, but a loud crash made her freeze.

she wanted to be with ashtray by the time it hit midnight, but as she seen fezco over nate, she quickly walked over to them.

she seen fezco repeatedly punching nate, as nate was bleeding and people tried to pull fezco off of him. the countdown stopped, and she saw maddy looking at her, almost to see if she was going to help or not. it wasn't until then she realized how much a problem nate and ashtray could be, between the two sisters. nate doesn't like fezco, and valerie liked ashtray. valerie, who is maddys sister.. but maddy knew her sister didn't like nate, it couldn't make her think anything if valerie didn't help.. right?

valerie sighed, quickly running out of the house, making her decision. she looked for fezcos car, and once she got in the backseat she saw ashtray nervously looking around.

she checked her phone, new years in literally five seconds. "fezcos coming out anytime, ash." she told him, watching him relax and sit back.

"hey, new years is in four seconds." she told him, and he turned his head around to her.

"aren't people supposed to kiss at midnight or some shit?" he asked, and she smiled. "yeah."

he glanced at her phone, two seconds. he quickly moved, putting his hand around the back of her neck and kissing her the second he saw the time change to midnight.
