-Chapter 4-

"Oh, Hi Q-Quinn." I said as I faked a smile, "Can we talk for a second Oliver?"

"Alright." Oliver said. 

We walked over to an area where there were only a little people there. 

"I-I don't know to say this to you, but," I said trying to think of what to say without exposing the truth, "You can date someone you just met! You only knew her for 1 day. You don't know a lot about her."

Oliver looked at me with a serious expression, "What are you talking about?" Oliver said, "I'm not that stupid. I won't date someone I met for 1 day."

"That's great-"

"But I will date someone I met for 2 days." Oliver said interrupting me.

"Oliver! I'm not joking with you. You barely even know her!"

"Same with you too. She's nice, just trust her." Oliver said as he walked away, "I will see you after lunch, bye!"

"Wait!" I said, but Oliver already walked away. 

"Come on." Hailey said as she grabbed my arm, "You don't want him to find out, do you?"

"What, of course not!" I said back,

"Then don't say anything to him. I heard exactly what you said to him. You must be glad I'm not telling the other girls what you said too."

I didn't say anything after she said that. I just followed her to the table that her and the other girls were sitting at. 

As I sat down, they started talking again. I didn't even pay attention to a single word they were saying. I was just watching Oliver and Quinn.

Maybe I made the wrong choice.

Oliver said he would always be there for me, but I'm never there for him. I knew that if I told him about Quinn, my life would be over for school. Hailey and her friends wouldn't talk to me and who knows if they will turn the whole school against me. 

The bell rang again, and everyone started leaving the building. I quickly walked away from the girls and tried to find Oliver.

"Uhm," Hailey began, "Where are you going, Victoria? My dad said he will drop us all off at home."

"Oh, sorry, but I can't. My mom is really strict, and she would get mad if I don't get home on the bus. Anyways, see you guys tomorrow." I said as I walked away.

My mom actually wouldn't mind if I don't go home on the bus, but I just needed to talk to my brother without Hailey or one of her friends spying on us. 

I went up to Oliver. He looked at me and smiled. I was going to tell him, but I decided to when we get home. Also, I need to think of a way to make them break-up without telling him the exact truth. 

As we got on the bus, I took my jacket out of my backpack and put it on. I almost forgot that I had my jacket. I looked out the window on the bus. I looked over at Oliver and saw him on his phone. It seemed like he was smiling and texting someone. Wait.

Who was he texting?

I looked over at his phone and the name for the contact said Quinn. I looked at him shocked. I had to do something, but I couldn't think of anything. 

"Oliver!" I said, "Uhm, do you think you can help me with my homework?" 

"Sure. I will help you when I get home." Oliver said as he went back on his phone.

"I wouldn't ask you now if I didn't want you to help me now." I said with sass.

He put down his phone and looked at me shocked. 

"I don't know what happened to you, but after you started talking to Hailey and her friends, you started acting differently." Oliver said.

Great, I could continue this conversation until we got home. 

"Okay? What can you do about it." I said back.

"Don't have attitude on me. I can easily snitch and tell mom what you wore to school." Oliver said.

"You wouldn't."

"And what if I did? What can you do about it?"

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Are you going to help me or what?"

"No. You don't deserve my help. No wonder why mom doesn't like you."

I didn't say anything after that. I just stared at him with disbelief. I would never expect him to go that far.  

"I-I'm sorry." Oliver began, "I didn't mean to say that."

"Forget it." I said as I continued looking out the window. 

If he can't help me, then I won't help him try to break-up with Quinn. Maybe I was right to make the decision. He didn't even seem to care when I tried to convince him to break up with Quinn early today, so why would he listen when I tell him to when we get home?

The bus reached our bus stop. Oliver and I got out of the bus. We didn't say anything for the whole time when riding in the bus, and once again, Oliver was texting Quinn in the bus. 

I walked into the house and took off my shoes. I sneaked to my parents' bedroom since they weren't here and grabbed my phone. 

"Cancel the tutor for today." I texted to Hailey, "I have something to do at 5pm and my parents said that I can't have a tutor over."

I decided to lie since I wasn't in the mood to study today. 

I turned around and opened my parents room door to get out. As I opened the door, I saw Oliver standing there.

"Really?" Oliver began, "Who did you text?"

"It's none of your business." I said as I walked away.

Oliver held me back.

"I won't ask again. Who did you text?"

"DOES IT EVEN MATTER? I DON'T SAY ANYTHING WHEN YOU TEXT YOUR LIAR GIRLFREIND!"

I just realized what I said. Oliver stared at me with shock.

"What do you mean liar?" Oliver said shocked. 

"I didn't mean to say that. I was just mad, and you know when I'm mad I say random things, ha-ha." I said back.

"Now I can't even tell if you're lying or not. You're supposed to be there for me to tell me the truth. What do you mean by Quinn is a liar?"

"SHE'S NOT, OKAY? CAN WE AT LEAST TALK SOMEWHERE ELSE SO MOM WON'T GET MAD IF SHE SEES US AT HER ROOM DOOR THINKING THAT ONE OF US DID SOMETHING?!"

"But you did do something. Just go to your room and stop being jealous also, don't talk about Quinn ever again, you don't even know her because you never even talked to her before." Oliver said as he walked away. 

I rolled my eyes and went to my room. He is just mad that I'm friends with Hailey and he's not. That's all. 

Some time passed by, and it was 4:55. My mom was still not home. 

I was just laying down and staring in space since I couldn't fall asleep. I mean, I have nothing else to do. 

I decided to go get some water. As I opened my door, I heard Oliver on the phone. I quickly creaked my room door to overhear the conversation he was having on the phone. 

"So, you're coming over?" Oliver said, "I'll have to ask my mom if you can come. She might say yes since I passed my math test. Okay bye!"

Who's coming over? I got out of my room and slowly walked to the kitchen without him seeing me. I hid behind the counters. I heard him texting somebody, that must be mom that he was texting. 

Wait, mom. 

If he won't listen to me then he would have to listen to mom! I could tell mom that he dated a girl that he just met for 2 days, and mom would probably get mad at him then Quinn won't trick him. He also wouldn't be able to blame it on me since I could tell mom to not tell him that I said it. 

I heard him stand up and walk to the door as he opened it.

"Hi Quinn!" He said.

"Hi, wow your house is so beautiful!" Quinn said back. 

How did she reach here so quickly? It was as if she was waiting outside of our house. 

"Do you want to study together? There is a science test tomorrow, and I don't want to fail it." Oliver said.

"Actually, I have something even better to do." She said to Oliver.

"We should study before we do it."

"C'mon don't be such a loser! It won't hurt to fail one test for me, right?"

"But I have a good reputation that I don't have a failing grade. My mom will kill me if she ever finds out that I failed a test!"

"Then blame it on that trash sister of yours. She will never know; this can just be between me and you."

WHAT DOES SHE MEAN BY BLAME IT ON ME?

I know she was supposed to distract him from studying, but me getting blamed for him failing was NOT a part of the plan. 

"How will I blame it on her? I can't make my sister get in trouble for my actions."

"Just say that every time you tried to study, she kept on bothering you and she made you have no sleep at night. In that way, you can spend time with me and still be your parents' favorite." 

Parents favorite? That's the same thing they said to bribe me. 

Wait a minute. 

Are they saying the same thing to both of us?
