"Oh hey Eleanor! We were just talking about you!" "El wait!"

Damn Jade. You fucked up!

"I'm sorry! Just let me explain!" "Explain what? The concept of betrayal?" "I think Ethan likes me! He crawled through my window! I tried staying away from him from out of loyalty to you but he kissed me first." "Cool story. He kissed me to." "What?" "Fifteen minutes ago, right by the fridge, he also kissed me!" "What! That asshole! What kind of person leads on two different people at the same party?" "Really Devi?" "Never mind I'm hearing it." "What's going on? Are you guys fighting or am I misunderstanding you, and you're about to sing a cappella?" "Do not invoke my second favorite artist from this charade. We're obviously fighting. I just caught Jade kissing Ethan!" "What? But you were just kissing Ethan by the fridge." "Eleanor, I'm so sorry. He kissed me first!" "Oh this sucks. We have never let a guy come between us before. And I get that it helps that I'm not attracted to any guys, but c'mon. We can't let dumb Ethan ruin your friendship. Why doesn't everybody promis to stay away from him? And once again, I do realize it's easiest for me." "I can do that!" "Yeah, I guess I can avoid him to." "Great! Besties before testes. Okay, hug it out." 

Jade had kept her promise to Eleanor and had successfully avoided Ethan all week at school. But like most hot guys. Ethan was blissfully unaware of the drama surrounding him, and he had no idea he was being avoided. 

"Hey. It was pretty fun hanging out at my party." "I guess. Until I found out that you kissed my friend right before you kissed me." "Oh shit. You found out about that. I mean we've kissed before." 

Damn, his logic is horrible. 

"You should come out to the parking lot during lunch. I'll be skating." "I literally do that every day." 

------------------------

"Because of Jade. I'll just sit back here so that Jade doesn't try to make a conversation with me." "Babe, you know I don't care if you talk to her. This whole silent treatment thing was your idea." "I know because it's just easier this way. She always makes things so difficult." "If you say so, my high-strung king." 

Well, it really doesn't matter. Jade never liked Ben.

Finally she could go skate. 

Eleanor? What are you doing here?" "Uh, nothing. I love alternative athletics." "Oh cut the shit El. You're here to hang out with Ethan after you promised me you wouldn't." "So, so are you apparently." "No! You know I come out here to skate! Plus my vitamin D levels are low as hell." "Yeah, the only D you're jonesing for is Ethan's." "Okay, fine. Let's just both admit we both like him.How are we going to solve this?" "Simple, just give him to me. I liked him first. I kissed him first, and I just got dumped, so I need this." 

Looks like Eleanor still thinks she kissed him first.

"Okay, what? If anyone needs this, it's me. You got dumped by a guy who loved you so much that he proposed to you after a meaningful relationship and tons of amazing sex. And frankly, these first few weeks of my senior year have been one real mother- OW!" 

New injury but not as much as me. HA. Wait that's not good.

"You can have him." "Huh?" "Ethan, he's yours. I don't even really like him. I think I just missed Trent and wanted a distraction." "Aw. El, I'm so sorry. Why don't you tell Trent how you feel?" "I can't. You should have seen the way he looked today after he heard that I kissed Ethan. I haven't seen him look that hurt since he fell off the Hollywood sign." "I bet he misses you more." "I'm sorry things have been tough for you. You deserve to have some fun. And I feel like Ethan knows how to have fun. Like sexually." "Are you sure you're fine with it?" "Of course! You have my blessing." "You're a really good friend." "One day you have to give me one of your loves so we can be even!"
