SALVATORE ACADEMY
Everyone were gathered in the hallway, checking the board to know which group they had been added to.
Anna smiled as she saw she was on the same group with Swayer.
Maeve had been banned from participating in any other activities of Salvatore including prom until her graduation.
Anna felt bad because of the way things turned out. They never remained the same since then.
Swayer had said hurtful things to Natasha and Chrystal and since Ivory was partly responsible for Swayer’s near assault, they weren’t speaking too.
Six years friendship, flushed down the drain just like that.
She sighed and left the board, heading to the library, at least they still studied together.
She met Chrystal and Fiona there and they smiled on seeing her.
“Nice to know you two are still speaking to me.” She muttered.
“Of course. It’s not like you did anything wrong.” Fiona chuckled.
Soon, Swayer came in with Sebastian, then Ivory and Fabiola and Shaun next. Natasha, kandle and Ethan were the last to join.
They all decided to begin studying today so their grades would up a bit.
“Hey Sebastian, you look stronger today.” Fiona smiled.
“Swayer’s doing a great job.” Shaun chuckled and Swayer smiled.
Her gaze locked with that of Ivory and she looked away immediately.
“Shall we begin?” She asked and they all opened their books.
***
Everyone left the library, including Sebastian with the help of Fabiola.
They needed to give the girls privacy to settle their differences as no one liked the way they acted like strangers.
Swayer kept playing with her sleeve not wanting to be the first to start the conversation.
Anna groaned after a minute and no one had said anything.
“Are you seriously not planing on saying anything?” She asked a bit annoyed.
“What do you want me to say? Everyone is just backstabbing me.” Swayer rolled her eyes.
“I didn’t backstab anyone and you still gave the cold shoulders.” Fiona muttered sadly.
“I needed space.” Swayer said with a sigh.
“You heard her, let’s just give her space.” Chrystal sighed and stood up.
“Wait,” Swayer called. “I’m sorry for saying those harsh words to you.” She added and Chrystal sat back down.
“You were angry, I understand.” She muttered. “And I’m sorry I did that to you in junior class.” She added and Swayer smiled.
“I’m sorry I tried to steal Sebastian away from you. It was selfish of me and I ended up putting you in danger.” Ivory apologized and Swayer bounced her head.
“Apology accepted. I’m sorry I ghosted everyone, it won’t happen again.” Swayer said with a smile.
“Gosh I missed y’all.” Anna stood and everyone followed and they all hugged each other before leaving the library, chatting about different issues.
***
Swayer got to the gym as someone told her that’s where Natasha was. She saw her running the treadmill and smiled before walking to her.
“Hey Natty.” she called and Natasha glanced at her shortly before returning her focus to the machine.
“Hey.” She responded dryly.
“Got a minute?” Swayer asked and after fee seconds, Natasha turned off the machine, breathing heavily.
“What is it?” She asked, sitting on the floor to catch her breath.
“I just wanted to apologize for what I said to you.” Swayer said sadly.
“Apologize? Everything you said was true so why apologize? I’m the one who should apologize.” Natasha said with a slight smile.
“Can we just forget about everything and start over? I miss us and as much as you may deny it, I know you miss me too.” Swayer chuckled and Natasha bounced her head.
“In that case, I should probably introduce myself to you. Hi I’m Natasha but you can call me Natty.” She said and Swayer laughed out loud.
“Okay Natty, I’m Swayer and I would love to be friends with you.” Swayer said sitting next to her on the floor.
They began chatting and laughing until Natasha was ready to leave.

Chrystal sighed as she watched the guys on the field. They were practicing for the football game that would be held during their sports competition.
She watched Ethan as he dribbled most of the players until he scored a goal and his teammates cheered his name. He took off his singlet and began waving it as a flag out of joy and couldn’t help but smile.
He’s been trying so hard to prove to her that he’s changed and she’s finally seeing it. From the moment he asked to joined their study group, she knew he wasn’t the same anymore. He finally cared about his grades and she hardly saw him with girls unlike before.
She decided to leave and let them play their game but spotted Sebastian a bit far off at the bleachers. She smiled and walked down to him, taking her seat next to him.
“Do you think you’ll heal on time before the game?” She asked and he sighed.
“I don’t know and the doctors said I would need to rest my bones for at least two months to assure full recovery.” Sebastian said obviously displeased.
“Too bad. I would have loved watching your @$$ get kicked out there.” She chuckled and Sebastian hit her playfully.
“I’m sorry I caused your friendship to break.” He said with an apologetic look.
“You didn’t do anything, it wasn’t meant to last anyways.” Chrystal shrugged.
“Well it’s not my fault I’m too good looking and y’all couldn’t resist me.” Sebastian joked and Chrystal hit him on the head.
“Ahh, my head still hurts.” He groaned, holding his head.
“You should have thought of that before saying rubbish.” She chuckled.
“I should get going, I don’t want Ethan to think I came here to watch him.” She added and Sebastian chuckled.
“Didn’t you?” He asked and she frowned.
“Of course not.” She scoffed.
“Yeah right, you can’t lie to me.” He chuckled. “He’s changed you know that right?” Seb asked and Chrystal bounced her head.
“And it’s because of you. He really likes you.” Sebastian said and Chrystal smiled a bit.
Suddenly Ethan turned his head at their direction and smiled at her. She smiled back and he waved at her. She waved back and he wanted to raise his other hand when the ball suddenly hit him on the head, sending him to the ground.
Chrystal sprung to her feet and ran all the way down to the field just to check if he’s alright.
Ethan faked being unconscious until she knelt beside him and began calling his name worriedly.
“I think he needs CPR.” One of the players said, trying his best to hide his grin.
Chrystal immediately began pressing Ethan’s exposed chest while the rest cleared out as part of procedure.
Sebastian kept laughing from where he sat as he knew Ethan was faking it.
The moment Chrystal’s lips touched his, he grabbed her waist with one hand, the other on her head and kissed her deeply, shocking her while the rest just applauded them, laughing as well.
Chrystal tried to struggle but found herself melting instead. She eventually returned the kiss and everyone decided to give them privacy. Officially the end of practice for them.
Sebastian gently stood up from the chair and excused himself as well, not wanting to disturb them.
Ethan finally broke the kiss and smiled at Chrystal.
“You can’t deny your feelings for me at this point Chrystal. Why are you still being stubborn?” He asked with a smirk.
“Jerk! I thought you got hurt. I wouldn’t have fallen for your trick otherwise.” She said and got up from the ground.
Ethan raised himself up too and grabbed her hand before she could move an inch.
“I’m not a playboy anymore or a jerk. You changed me and now you have to take responsibility for me.” He said with a smile and Chrystal rolled her eyes.
“Fine then but if you dare cheat on me, I’ll cut off your balls.” She threatened and Ethan chuckled before pulling her by the waist and slamming his lips on hers. He kissed her deeply, nibbling on her buttom lip before breaking the kiss.
“I’m yours Chrystal Lang. Always and forever.” He said amd Chrystal pulled his head forward, capturing his lips again.
