Angelina’s POV

Everyone looks at us questioningly. Chris gives me nod.

"Okay so everyone, don't utter a word till both Chris and I are done." They nod skeptically.

"So Noah is somewhat right."

"What the fu*k?" They shout and I flinch.

"She said to listen everything first." Chris says trying to calm them down.

"I was just joking but..." Noah says wide - eyed. He seems to be at loss for words.

"Please listen first." I tell them pleadingly.

"Okay no one will interrupt now." Rosie says though I can see questions brimming in her eyes.

"I told you all he helped me twice. Before helping in the party we played beer pong and I won." Ash smiles proudly.

"Then he was being a sore loser so I asked him to lighten up and while talking we reached near the dance floor. That's when I saw Tyson and dragged Jacob to the dance floor and made him start dancing with me. He asked me to tell one of you since he needed to stay to protect me. I messaged Chris but he didn't see it so then I asked Ash. After that he said that since now Ash will take care of it we should actually dance and lighten up. He was being very sweet and understanding. So I thought maybe he is not an asshole." I clench my hands beneath the table.

"Suddenly someone jammed on my back and we ended up close. That's when Ash came." They sigh in relief.

"When Ash interrupted we realized we had almost kissed." Ash and Drake are fuming while the others have their jaws dropped. Justin looks like he is going to say something but keeps his promise.

"So after everyone was off to pool I went to thank him properly and maybe talk about what happened. When I am about approach him I hear him talking to Dash. His exact words were, "Why would I date her? She is just another girl I danced a bit with. In fact she is more hot headed than them. Not my type." I was seeing red; I was just another girl falling at his feet. So to save my remaining dignity I walked away even when he was trying to stop me." I calm myself down a bit and nod to Chris.

He looks like he collecting strength then finally starts. "Now you all must be wondering why I didn't see her message. So let's not beat around the bush. I am bisexual and was with Dylan." If the situation was not so tense I would have laughed at their reactions. Their eyes are literally bulging out of their skulls. Then suddenly Rosie goes and hugs him tightly.

"I have always wanted a gay friend but bi would also work. You can come to our girls’ nights and we can sit together and bitch about boys," She says excited. It looks like she is already planning. Then she looks at us girls for confirmation. I just shrug.

"Yeah, no problem. And since you like girls as well you can give us tips." Katie says.

"And I thought Anne's reaction was unexpected." He mutters but it's loud enough for us to hear and I laugh.

"I always had a doubt when I saw those two exchange glances." Ash says pensively. And Chris blushes a bit.

"Aww did you just blush?" He blushes a bit more in response. "Dyl is turning you into such a softie. I am so happy for you! And are the two of you official?" Rosie exclaims.

"Why does everyone have to pound me with questions? And no we are waiting till I come out." He says irritated.

"I also asked him a lot of questions." I inform her seeing her confused look.

"I want details." She says prodding a finger into his chest. He looks uncomfortable. "Oh don't worry these idiots don't need to know come for sleepover at my house next week and tell us then."

"Why can't we get the details?! Noah exclaims. She just gives him a ‘Are you sirius?’ look. "Ok, that will be awkward, though I have a question for Chris."

"Who is the hottest triplet?" Chris just looks at him bewildered.

"Why can't you ask them that?" Gesturing to us

He leans closer to his ear and 'whispers' "Because they are scary."

We glare at him. Justin clears his throat. "Do you know that they can hear you?"

That's when he realizes we are glaring at him.

He mutters something incoherent maybe swear word. Then he looks up with the brightest smile. "Oh no! You guys are the sweetest."

"Save it Noah." Rosie rolls her eyes.

"Are we going to ignore what Anne said?" Drake says too calmly.

"No we were just showing our support to Chris." Ash says then looks up at me. "What the hell were you thinking!?"

"I..uh.."

"They were drunk so they had little to no control over their actions and she already told you the little bit she was thinking. She is obviously hurting so skip the lecture part and come to the part of what to do with Jacob now." Chris snaps at him.

"I told you he is no good." He ignores Chris' glare. "Why would you even go near him?"

"The beer pong game was a challenge. And since he had helped me in the morning and was really understanding; I just dragged him without a second thought. Rest of the things just happened." I avert my eyes not being able to meet their gaze.

I knew they would be angry and would not understand me even he understood me more than them, I think bitterly. Then I think of how he did not judge when I told him about Tyson and just understood my feelings at once just looking into my eyes. But he is the same boy to whom one of the best nights of my life meant nothing.

A loud smack breaks me out of my reverie. "You d*ckhead! Can't you be a bit more understanding!"

"Come with me." I turn to see Chris gesturing for me to follow him.

"Hey wait for me!" Noah exclaims when we reach the end of the corridor.

"Drake and Asher will come around. They just need to cool down a bit. Justin and Rose are trying to calm them and Katie down. Meanwhile can I come with you guys?" He asks. Chris shrugs.

"Okay so I know just the place that can take your mind off things." He says excitedly.

For 2 hours or 3, I don't know we sit in the triplets' movie room and we watch Riverdale.

There is a knock on the door, so we paused the episode we were watching.

Ash pokes his head through the door and looks at me. "Anne can we talk for a bit?" I nod my head and follow him. Out of the corner of my eye I see Chris following us and Noah closing everything.

He runs his hands through his hair then sighs. "I am sorry for shouting at you like that." And I can see he is really sorry. "It's just that I couldn't believe you would go near him after the words he said to us and what Drake went through. I know it's not your fault you are just too quick to see the best in people and forgive them and I am an idiot."

"That you are." I chuckle and he gives me an offended look.

"But just say once and I will beat the shit out of him for hurting you." He says getting serious.

"No need to get in trouble for him, he is not worth it."

Then I notice Drake standing at the end of the corridor hands in his pockets.

"What are you doing there? Come here." I say.

He looks momentarily shocked. "I just thought you would be more upset with me so I let Asher go first." He stays there for a moment then seeing my impatient look comes near us.

"Drake..."

"Don't you dare say its fine 'cause it's not. I made it seem like it's your fault when it isn't and raised my voice even after Chris warned me. And if something really happened between you and Wilson didn't acknowledge it; he is the one at loss. Because you my girl are one of a kind." He says smiling.

"Aww Draky Boy I knew you wove me very very much." I say in baby voice pinching his cheeks. Ash starts laughing silently behind us.

"What the hell!?." Drake says slapping my hands away and takes a step back. And he looks really really uncomfortable.

"But I wove you very very much too so why you going away." I say starting to fake cry. His eyes widen. Seems like he bought it. I can see Ash trying to keep a straight face; he knows what I am up to.

"Dude why the hell would you make my lil sis cry!?" Now Drake looks bewildered. I can see Katie recording it most likely for blackmail material.

"Anne please stop crying, you are my Tiger right?" He says tentatively. I control the urge to laugh.

I cry some more just to mess with him a bit more.

"Is she a little?" He asks turning to Ash. That has each one of us cracking up.

"Where did you even come up with that?" Ash asks between laughs.

"This girl called me daddy when we were doing it so I asked why would she call me daddy, she said to forget it. I got curious and searched it." He answers clearly embarrassed.

After a little teasing, ok a lot of teasing we decided to hang out in the living room.

"Anne." Justin calls out once we are all comfortably seated.

"Yes" I say turning to look at him.

"What are you going to do with Wilson?"

"What do you mean? I will just ignore him."

"You are going to leave him like that after he spread word about the party and hurt you?" He says raising an eyebrow. "Yeah the party went great but you could have fallen in some serious trouble."

"Why would I date her? She is just another girl I danced a bit with. In fact she is more hot headed than them. Not my type."

Nope, not going there.

Truth to be told I had almost forgotten about the prank war. Maybe I can just prank him it wouldn't seem it had anything to do with the party; I would just be continuing what's already going on. But what can I do?

"Earth to princess"

"He thinks I am hot headed right? I will show him what hot headed is." They share looks. "I was thinking about continuing the prank war though what will we do?" I say voicing my thoughts.

"We can come up with something later, how about we enjoy right now?" Chris asks.

"I know what we can do!" Noah says excitedly. We look at him expectedly. "We can watch Netflix!"

"That's your solution every single time." Drake says dryly and Justin nods.

"Shut up would you, it's the best solution." Katie glares at him daring him to contradict her. He starts sulking.

"Oh I just remembered something!" Rosie exclaims suddenly. "Anne the computer club and literature club in - charges were asking if you would like to sign up. Katie and Ash astronomy club leader was asking for you two. And drama one for you Chris. Since all these clubs are starting again they will start pestering us." She huffs. Rosie is in the community service club so she must have met the leaders.

"Nothing for us." Noah says cheekily. These club leaders do pester a lot. The moment they hear you are interested they would be behind you till you join their club.

"You can ask them." She shrugs. "They know I always get information for them so they told me about them. If you guys are interested in any club you can tell me I will ask the in - charge for you if you want." I can get Rosie to tell all the club leaders Jacob is interested, now that would be a nightmare.

"Can you get me the list of all the clubs? I never joined one but maybe this year I can." Justin asks.

"Sure"

"Hey Rosie can you tell all the club leaders Jacob is interested?" I say with an evil grin.

"Girl you have got a very cunning mind. And of course I will." She mock salutes.

"That would be a living nightmare for him but who cares." Drake says giving me a high five.

"I can agree with this idiot on this point." Katie says ignoring Drake's offended look.

"I am starting to get scared of what goes on in that head of yours." Justin says.

"Why do you think I always try to be on her good side?" Ash asks.

"Whatever, I am really excited to see how this turns out." Noah says excitedly throwing his arms around me.

"Get off me you dumbass!" I throw him off resulting in him falling on the floor.

Everyone laughs then we continue our original plan of watching Netflix and enjoy the rest of the time of our hangout. Throughout I could only think that we all are so different and weird in our own way but we fit together like missing puzzle pieces. And we love each other though show it our own weird way. But I wouldn't have it any other way because they maybe a bunch of weirdos but they are my weirdos.

Author's Note

Hello everyone! 😄 How are you all? I hope you all like the story so far. What do all think of this chapter? Though before answering that please read what's written below.

P.S. - Yes I have included LGBTQ+ because I believe who you love doesn't change who you are. It's your choice and the ones that judge can go to hell.

And if you have noticed I have replayed Jacob's words in Anne's mind multiple times which is what really happens. You don't know how your words can affect a person. They may be harmless to you but just like how Jacob's words keep replaying in Anne's mind your words maybe replaying in someone else’s' and could be controlling their actions. So think before you speak.

And yeah I included Daddy kink, I am sorry if I offended anyone. And to others please don't make a huge deal of it.

Have a nice day🙃!
