NO EDITED
“Sw..Swayer?” She called even though she could see her clearly. Swayer had a sulky expression as she walked into the room. She had left the leaving room after Sebastian had assured her the kiss won’t affect their friendship. She decided to come meet Chrystal to thank her but then heard their arguments and decided to eavesdrop. She was shocked to hear Ivory’s confession and Maeve’s as well.
“Swayer.” They all called, with Maeve and Ivory looking the most surprised.
“Did something happen with Sebastian?” Chrystal asked as she didn’t want to assume Swayer heard their conversations.
“You..you both like Sebastian too?” Sebastian asked alternating gaze between Ivory and Maeve. Her eyes were practically begging them to say no and that she had misheard.
“Yes.” They answered at the same time.
Meanwhile…
Shaun sighed as he watched Natasha kick at the sand. She crouched down, holding her head and he couldn’t tell if she’s crying or just trying to calm her nerves.
He eventually approached her, though careful not to frighten her as this was night time and she may not see his face.
“Are you okay?” He asked, crouching down to her level. Natasha kept her head down even after hearing his voice.
“Natasha, you can’t keep doing this to yourself.” Shaun said, running his hand through his brown hair.
If only she knew how madly in love with her he is right now. How could she be killing herself over someone that would obviously never look at her the same way?
Natasha finally raised her head up, staring at Shaun’s face. It was dark but the light from the house made them able to see a little.
“Go away.” She muttered, returning her gaze to the sand.
“Why should I? I’ve always been by your side even before realizing my feelings for you. Why should that change now?” Shaun frowned.
“Just leave. Go meet your Fabiola-”
“My Fabiola?” Shaun cut her off. What exactly is going on in that head of hers?
“It’s obvious she’s in love with you and I’m sure you have feelings for her as well, if not you wouldn’t have dated her. Why are you wasting your time with me? Why did you even break up with her knowing I would never see you as anything more than my best friend?” Natasha rushed her words. She was hurting now.
Shaun chuckled but not in amazement, rather bitterly.
He stood up from his squatting position, ruffling his hair. Be might just go insane soon if this continues.
“Do you even know why we dated in the first place?” He asked in a low guttural voice.
Natasha looked up at him and on seeing he is no longer squatting, she stood as well.
“Because you realized that deep down I would never accept you and you realize that you had a liking for her.” Natasha said with a straight face.
Shaun faced her with a frown. Is she serious right now?
“Are you being serious? Are you really that dumb?” He asked and she looked at him with a perplexed face.
“You are so in over your head with this Sebastian Sh|t that you don’t even realize what’s going on around you!” Shaun yelled.
“Why are you yelling? If I said something wrong correct me gently.” Natasha muttered.
“I don’t think gentle would work on that thick skull of yours! Natasha I f*cking love you! I told you before and I’m telling you again. I dated Fabiola to make you jealous you idiot! It wasn’t even a real date! it was fake!” Shaun yelled turning away from her. It was his turn to kick the sand now.
Natasha just stood there, staring at his back as he pulled at his hair in frustration.
“Tell me!” He yelled turning back to her. Natasha furrowed her brows at him and even though he couldn’t see her face clearly, he could tell she didn’t understand.
“Tell me what you see in Sebastian that’s making you so obsessed with him.” He said, this time without yelling.
“You always say I’m obsessed with Sebastian Shaun but look at you… you’re obsessed with me.” Natasha frowned.
“This isn’t obsessed, it’s love. I’m not the one spreading bad news about good people and pouring milkshake on their head or trying to use his sister to get him to like me!” Shaun yelled and Natasha gasped.
“You are so stupid to think what you feel for me is love and yes I’ve made mistake but what about you? You dated someone or let say fake dated just to get my attention!” Natasha yelled back. It was Shaun’s turn to be quiet now. It seems they are both victims of this crazy scenerio.
“You know what’s worse?” Natasha continued when Shaun didn’t say anything. “Now Fabiola has feelings for you and what do you do? You break up with her knowing very well that I would never love you Shaun.”
“I didn’t break up with her! she was the one who called it off.” Shaun defended but that only made Natasha laugh.
“Obviously because she knows she has feelings for someone who would never love her. At least she knows when to quit Shaun!” Natasha yelled.
Shaun just kept staring at her without saying anything. Everything she said is true. A hundred percent true. He just did to Fabiola what Natasha did to him. How could he have been so stupid to think fake dating would help him win the heart of someone that’s never seen him as anything more than a best friend? But what about their make out at Ethan’s house? Yes they were both drunk but it wasn’t just an empty make out. It was passionate, full of emotions.
“I’m going to bed.” Natasha said turning away to leave when Shaun suddenly pulled her back, slamming his lips on hers. Natasha pushed him away immediately, slapping him hard on the cheek.
“You are really crazy!” she yelled, storming off into the house.
Shaun stared at her retreating back until she shut the door.
“F*ck!” He yelled crouching down and pulling at his hair.

Fabiola sat on her bed, staring out the window. She was feeling so lost right now. Is this how it feels to let go of someone you love? A knock on her door brought her out of the land of thoughts and back into her room. She turned her head towards the door, waiting for whoever it is to come in as she didn’t feel like talking.
The door creaked open, revealing Sebastian. He looked really worried and the moment their gaze locked, a frown settled on his face.
“Are you okay sugar?” He asked even though he knew she isn’t okay.
Fabiola feigned a smile and bounced her head.
“I’m fine.” She said and Sebastian scoffed.
“You have always been a bad liar.” He said sitting next to her.
“Shaun hurt you didn’t he? I’m gonna kill that bastard.” Sebastian said with a frown.
“He actually did nothing. I caused this. I should have said no at the beginning.” Fabiola said with a sad smile.
“What do you mean?” Sebastian furrowed his brows.
Fabiola knew telling him about the fake girlfriend stuff would make him want to beat Shaun up even more. It’s best she leaves it to be in the past.
“Just hug me.” She sighed and Sebastian immediately enveloped her in his arms, hugging her tenderly.

Swayer didn’t know what to say. She just stared at Ivory and Maeve like a dummy.
“This is stupid. Swayer they don’t mean it-” Fiona tried to intervene but Ivory cut her off.
“Yes we do, or at least I do. I know what you’re thinking Swayer. I’m a terrible person for doing this to you but I really can’t help it. I like Sebastian and I don’t think I would be able to watch as you two act all smoochy around each other.” Ivory said with straight face, like she felt no remorse. Why should she? It’s not like Sebastian and Swayer are dating or anything.
“So what do you want me to do?” Swayer chuckled. She didn’t want this to bother her. No she won’t let it. They can settle after the quiz but now, she needs to be in a positive mindset.
“I want you to sacrifice this once for me Swayer.” Ivory begged
“Then what about me?” Maeve frowned.
“You are the one who asked me to bottle up my feelings so I’m still surprised why yours isn’t gone yet.” Ivory glared at Maeve.
“This is crazy! We all can’t be in love with the same person!” Swayer yelled.
“I got it!” Chrystal suddenly said in excitement. Since the game hadn’t gone according to plan, she could still fix this. It’s obvious Sebastian likes Swayer so to settle the matter between Ivory and Maeve, they would have to use the F Code.
“What are you talking about?” Fiona frowned at her.
“F Code.” Chrystal smiled sheepishly.
“Are you crazy? you want to bet on Sebastian now?” Swayer glared at him but Chrystal gave her a sign to shut up.
“Since y’all are in love with the same person, it’s only fair if everyone is given a chance don’t you think? Let Sebastian do the picking.” Chrystal smiled.
F Code: When all members of the FAMICS are after the same thing, if it is non living, then they’ll have to share but if it’s a living thing, then the selection would rest on wh@tëver they are after.*
“Doesn’t the F Code require all of us to be after the same thing or person? So far it’s only Ivory and Maeve that are after Swayers boyfriend.” Fiona frowned. She didn’t like this idea.
“He is not her boyfriend yet.” Ivory glared at Fiona.
“I guess you’re right.” Chrystal said, trying to think.
“Well it means that we all have to be involved in the bet.”
