I locked my phone and went downstairs to the vending machine to get some chips and a apple juice. I heard footsteps behind me, but didn't suspect anything or anyone.

"Hey!" a voice said behind me. I turned around and saw Hunter.

"Oh, hey?" I answered confused. How did he know I was going to be here? "What's up?" I asked.

"The groupchat," he said. I was confused, he saw my face and he sighed of relief. "Wait, you haven't seen it?" he asked leaning against the vending machine.

"Seen what?" I asked. "I'm really confused, sorry. What's happening, Hunter?"

"The boys apologized and they said that you hated them. Now,  rumors are starting," he said. "People think you and I are dating," he explained.

"Oh," I said. "I don't hate the boys, but I'm not ready to accept their apologizes. No one should ever talk about a girl the way they did."

"I agree," he said. "Are you mad?" He asked.

"No. Just disappointed," I looked at Hunter. "I thought they were my friends. Friends don't talk about others behind their back."

"True," he said getting off the vending machine.

I put my dollar in and bought hot Cheetos. I grabbed my quarter and put it in my back pocket. I turned and saw Hunter was still there.

"Thanks for sticking up for me," I said smiling at him. "You, Weston, and Mario are true friends. I can always count on you guys."

"I'll always be here if you need me," Hunter said.

"I know thanks," I said. I grabbed my phone and saw we had eight more minutes till the show started. "Hunter, we're gonna be late! Let's go!" I said pulling his hand and dragging him with me to the area we would be performing at.

I heard a camera click near me, but ignored it. We saw everybody and they were just running around and recording themselves on snapchat. I suddenly felt awkward. I squeezed Hunter's hand, not letting go.

Brandon ran up to us. "Can I talk to you?" Brandon asked me.

"Of course," I smiled at him. I looked up at Hunter and let go of his hand. "Be right back," I said as Brandon grabbed my hand and led me to the hallway. "What's up?" I asked him worried.

"I'm sorry. I saw you weren't replying to the groupchat, so I thought you hated me. I didn't mean all of those mean things and rude names I called you. I was just jealous," Brandon said rambling.

"Jealous of what?" I asked him.

"Of Hunter. He clearly likes you and you might have feelings for him. When you guys kissed on the plane, I was so upset. At the airport when you were trying to get your hat back, Hunter told me to make sure to get that picture," Brandon said.

"He was the one who told me to send it to the groupchat, so Blake and all of the others boy would think you guys were together. He told me to stay away from you and not talk to you, because he liked you and didn't want anyone else to have you. He was the reason you and Blake broke up," Brandon finished.

I looked at him shocked. I couldn't even say anything.

"I'm sorry if that was shocking and I understand, that was a lot of information to handle. I just wanted to tell you, so you wouldn't think I was the bad guy," Brandon said. "If you do tell Hunter, I understand." he looked down at his feet.

"I won't tell Hunter. He doesn't have to know I know," I said as my phone buzzed. Hunter had sent a text to the groupchat.
