36.

Kendall , Lani , Skylar and I were all in Skylar's car hotboxing.

"Did y'all notice anything off about Nate?" I asked them "other than the fact that he is a gorgeous human being? Nope" Kendall said.

"Yeahhh what Kendall said" Lani agreed "why'd you ask though?" She added.

"He seems like he's really cool, but I don't know I had got a weird feeling from him when we were at lunch that day" I told them.

"What kinda weird feeling?" Skylar asked me.

"I can't really describe it, it's just that everytime I looked his way .. he was already looking at me" I tried to explain to them.

"Maybe he was admiring your beauty?" Lani asked.

"I wouldn't say that, I don't know you guys but his vibe just caught me off guard because he didn't give that when I first met him in class,"

I really tried to put into words the vibe Nate gave off at the lunch table.

The way he just looked at me, like he had something up his sleeve.

"I'm gonna go over Keenan's tonight and see how things go, Skylar come with me?" I asked her.

"Of course" she said. "Aw why not one of us?" Kendall asked "because you'll be too busy distracted by his beauty and not focused enough on the mission" I told her.

"I mean ... okay maybe you're right. But tell us what happens" she said.

"Of course".

"So have y'all tried talking to Cassie yet?" Skylar asked. "Me and her haven't spoken since our little encounter yesterday morning" Kendall said.

"I spoke to her today" Lani said "what happened?" I asked.

"It was really just small talk"

* earlier today Lani's POV *

My communications class was finally over and I headed out of the journalism building to go meet up with my friend Calvin.

As I was leaving out , I looked into the lounge and spotted Cassie. I stopped in my tracks and debated if I should go over there and talk to her or keep walking.

After two minutes of debating I finally walked over towards her. I haven't seen or spoken to Cassie since that day Tiara came in the room confronting her.

She was just sitting at a table reading her book. I pulled the chair open and sat down across from her.

She looked up at me "yes?" She questioned.

"Hey..." I said back. I couldn't of been more awkward "what are you doing?" She questioned me again.

"I wanted to talk to you and see what was going on" I told her truthfully.

"What? You're kissing Tiara's ass now too?" She said.

Woah what? "Excuse me?" I said back.

"Did she send you over here to find out why I'm acting the way I am?"

"No Cassie .. we all were worried about you and wanted to know. I saw you while I was leaving out the building and decided to come over and see what was up myself, but since you wanna act like that I can definitely leave" I started getting up from the table.

"And you know what Cassie, we all care about you and love you and even though Tiara was upset with what you did , she still put her feelings to the side to see if things with you were okay, none of us know what the hell has gotten into you lately. But since you wanna act like that... then maybe you are better off by yourself."

That was the last thing I planned on saying to Cassie for a while.

* current time Tiara's POV *

"Bro she really said that to you ? Of all people?" Kendall asked.

"Yup" Lani said "that doesn't even sound like Cassie" Skylar spoke.

"She thinks y'all are ass kissers?" I asked them.

"I honestly think she feels like the last couple of months it's always been about Tiara and her problems and maybe felt neglected by everyone. When anything was ever wrong with you of course we dropped everything and came running" Lani explained.

"But she knows we would do the same for her in a heart beat?" Kendall said.

"Should I talk to her?" I asked everyone.

The car went silent. I just sighed. I had no idea what to do about Cassie.

"Maybe you should.. she should be in the room right now, let's go see" Kendall said.

Skylar parked the car and the four of us headed to our floor.

I was thinking about what I should even say to her.

Kendall unlocked the door and the first thing we saw was Cassie bent over getting fücked by none other than Nate.

"Oh shït" Lani said "you gotta be kidding me... I called dibs" Kendall mumbled "who's that?" Skylar asked.

"Nate" the three of us said "oh damn. He is fine" she said.

Cassie jumped up and looked at us quickly covering herself.

Nate was just looking at me, with a smirk on his face.

"What do you all want?" She asked

"Now you're just fücking every guy you meet? This is the third one this week. I really hope you're using protection" Kendall commented.

"Stop being so worried about my sex life and worry about how none existent yours is" Cassie said

"Oh she got me all the way fücked up" I held Kendall back before she could even get through the door. "Let's just go to our room" Lani said.

The three of them walked away and I just looked back and forth between her and Nate.

"Is there a problem?" She asked. "What has gotten into you Cass?" I asked her while shaking my head.

"Stop pretending like you're so worried about me and what's going on in my life. None of you care. It's always about you Tiara! Oh no tiara and Keenan are arguing ! Oh no Tiara is having a panic attack! Oh no Tiara is crying and left campus! I'm sick of it. The world doesn't revolve around Tiara Gold ! There's other people in this world with their own problems and since our "friends" seem to only care about you ... I removed myself from the equation" Cassie yelled

"How were we even suppose to know anything was wrong with you Cassie? I approached you about the Anthony thing and you just started acting like a complete nut! None of us did shït to you. I don't know what bïtches you're use to being friends with back home. But here we actually love and care about you, and you wanna sit here and treat us like shït when all we wanna do is make sure you're straight?. Yeah you can miss me with all of that Cassandra, have fun with your new fück buddy" I said while looking back and forth between her and Nate.

I left her door and I felt an hand grab my arm a little rough.

"She was just a quickie" he said "okay why are you telling me I don't care?"

"But you do ..." Nate said while smirking

"I have a boyfriend" I said to him. He started moving closer to me and I backed up until there was no where else to go.

Nate had me up against the wall towering over me.

"I don't care" he said while stroking his fingers up and down my right arm.

"I'm gonna make you mine Tiara ... and make you forget all about that boyfriend of yours" he backed away and then headed back into Cassie's room closing the door behind him.

Call me dumb , stupid , crazy or all three. But I'm weirded out and aroused at the same time.

I walked back into my room and the girls were in there talking.

"What'd you say to her?" Kendall asked.

"I-..." I was lost for words still taken back from my encounter with Nate.

Should I keep it to myself ? Or tell them?

"I-.. um, I just told her what it was straight up, and left it at that. I don't care how she moves anymore. We're too grown for that. Plus we aren't mind readers so how were we suppose to know anything was going on with her" I said to them.

"That's facts" Lani said "I need a roommate swap" Kendall said. We all chuckled.

"Did that Nate guy say anything?" Lani asked.

"Ummmm.. no he just stayed to himself the whole time"

I hate lying to them. Keenan and I are in a good place right now I don't need any of this.

I love him! Keenan's my heart! My other half!

I'm meant to be with Keenan.

Not fall for Nate.

"Well let's head over to Keenan's now." Skylar got up

"Oh yeah .. right"

I'm so fücked.
