Adore's POV:

      "Adore and I are dating." Dela says while backing up towards me. I grab her hand while waiting for Courtney to say something. Her shocked face turns into an excited face. She rushed over towards us and hugged us and whispers in my our ears "I am so happy for you two." I smile, and she let us go. I start to chuckle at her wig less head, and she noticed. "Oh that's why I came in here." She says while going to the mirror. To break the silence, Courtney says "So, I know this is none of my business, but how long have you two rascals been dating?" "2 months almost 3." I say while putting my arm around Dela's waist smiling. She stops pinning in the bobby pins and looks at us with wide eyes. I look at Dela, and she has almost the same expression. I let go of her. "Ok there is something you guys aren't telling me, and I want to know what it is." I say looking back and forth at them both.

      Suddenly, Darienne bursts in the bathroom laughing. She, then, gets quiet as all eyes are on her. Courtney and Dela's facial expressions have still not changed. "I'm sorry am I interrupting something?" Darienne says. "Kind of." Dela says. "Oh ok." Darienne says while leaning on the wall, getting comfortable. We all can tell she wasn't going anywhere. Frankly, I don't care if she is here or not; I want to know what is going on. "Well tell me what's going on." I say after a moment of silence. All eyes were on me, as I waited for an answer. "So nobody wants to talk?" I ask. Suddenly, I look at Darienne with a "please tell me what's going on" face. "I would love to tell you something, but I don't know what is going on here." Darienne says. I take a moment to think about what to say. I want to get answers, but not tell Darienne about Dela and I. "Ok, what comes to your mind when I say '4 months'?" I ask her. She rolls her eyes and groans real loud. "Oh my god, the only thi--" while mid-sentence, Darienne is interrupted by the bathroom door flying open and Bianca entering.

     Like Darienne, all eyes are on her. She looks at everybody then says "My bad if y'all are having a party, and I wasn't invited, but y'all fuckers just left me there. The least y'all could've done is told me so could've left earlier." She walks over next to Darienne and leans on her. While looking at us, she asks Darienne "What's going on here?". I'm looking at Darienne, waiting for an answer to my question. "Well," she starts. "Adore asked me what comes to my mind when she says '4 months', and I was about to give my answer before your ass busted in here." They both start laughing, while I still look serious, and Dela and Courtney still look tense. They seem to think there is something funny about this whole thing. They stop laughing and Darienne continues. "Anyways," she starts. "I was going to say the only thing that comes to mind them two and their bootleg relationship." She points to Bianca and Courtney, and, on the inside, my heart drops. On the outside, all I can do was sigh as if it was somewhat of relief. That's it? That's what you couldn't tell me? Are you fucking kidding me?" I ask looking at Courtney and Dela. "Wait what? Y'all didn't tell her I was dating Courtney?" Bianca asks. "Well," Courtney says finally speaking. "We made an agreement that until the tension dies down, it shouldn't be mention." "But someone forgot about it." Dela says staring at Darienne. "Hold up. Why wasn't I let in on a plan that involves me?" Bianca asks. "One: I forgot about this 'agreement' so sorry not sorry. Two: We didn't tell you because, like you said, it involves you." Darienne replies. " You could've just told me. I wouldn't react any other way than the way I just did." I say looking at Dela. "You're right I'm sorry." Dela says while walking towards me a hugging me. She let's go, and all eyes were on us. I started to blush and smile. "So, how long have you two been dating?" Darienne asks with a smirk on her face. I have a guilty look on my face, so does Courtney, and I bet Dela does too. "Can't hide it now." Dela says to me. Darienne, with a shocked face, says "Wait, are you serious? I was only joking." Dela and I chuckle and we decided to break the news. "Yes, we are dating." I say. I feel like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. I am so happy.

     Everybody is clapping for us and congratulating us. But, I couldn't help but notice that Bianca is avoiding making eye contact with me. I think, deep down inside she's a little bitter, well more than usual. Suddenly, Courtney speaks up. "Ok, ok, my turn." She says childishly. "I want everybody to know that I am having a sleepover tonight and everybody is invited!" Everybody cheers in excitement. As it dies down, we're all asking questions, but I don't need to really ask question a. Everybody knows that a Courtney Act party is nothing short of magnificent. She has alcohol, games, costumes, party goodies, and everybody goes home with a gift. I love going to them. Once the questions stopped, and everybody was ready to leave, Bianca makes an announcement. "Ok, before we leave, I need to clear the air with you two." She says while pointing at Dela and I. "Darienne, I think we should let them talk." Courtney says. "I don't know why. Its going to come back to us, so why miss the original show?" Darienne says. "It doesn't matter, you guys already know." Bianca says. "Well what is it?" I ask. "So," she starts. "After Dela went into the classroom during first period, me and Laganja had a war of words. As I was walking away, Laganja told me something that made me react in a not a so a good manner, and... I was the one who cut her face." I was disheartened, and so was Dela. We both can't believe that Bianca did that to Laganja. I know that Laganja would never hurt a fly nor anybody's feelings. "Why would you do that? Nothing she said would've justified you hurting her as bad as you did!" I said raising my voice . She looked at me like I was speaking Japanese or something. "Ok." Bianca. I'm thinking to myself like "That's it? Where is the snappy one-liners she always has in her little 'Roledex of Hate?". Then, Courtney intervenes in the conversation. "Well, actually Adore, Laganja said pretty rude stuff." "Like what?" Dela asks, beating me to it. I could tell she was on the same page as me. Courtney looks at Bianca, who gives a signal to not say anything. I'm getting so irritated with all this secret keeping. "You know all this secret keeping is fucked up. If you guys were truly friends, you would have the decency to tell me." I say while looking at Darienne and Courtney. Bianca...is a whole different story. I storm out and rush to Laganja in the nurse's office. I get there, and she's gone.
