Made my final answer

Kehlani's POV

“Oh, here we go again.” Elliot muttered. “The fucking police.”

A policeman stepped out while the car drove towards the house party. It becomes a mess as people fly from windows and such. Busted. 

“We're responding to the nearby complaint from a neighbor. You kids part of the party?”

His eyes narrowed at the three of us and I bowed my head, wiping the smeared tears on my cheeks. 

Trevor rolled his eyes, with his hands in pocket. “Officer, we were just walking by.”

“At 11?”

“Because we have free will.” Elliot shrugged, casting a challenging look at the man. 

He looks at us keenly, knowing fully well Elliot had said it all, he sighed. “And you. You good?”

Trevor's hands dropped over my shoulders. “She's very fine. We'll be leaving now.”

The patrol car glide down and some people from the party were seen inside. We were dismissed and the officer leaves with his team. Trevor immediately grabs my hands gesturing we leave that spot…I don't care. I just wanted to go home after what I heard. Everything was making my head spiral. 

“I'll drop you off.” Trevor insisted while we stopped at his car. His squad seemed to be inside, waiting. How on earth did the cops not find them?

“Don't hold her hands like you're the knight.” 

Elliot mocked, he trailed behind, laughing. 

“And you think you are?” Trevor snorts, drumming his shoes against the ground like he was ever ready for a war with Elliot. 

“I'm no savior.” Elliot laughed, looking in my eye like he enjoyed every bit of manipulating me. “Who knows if she's walking from pan to fire? We know you also want to use her. Ain't that right?”

My lips parted and I closed my mouth. 

“You already used her. So why should it matter to you if I intend on doing the same to her? Oh, do you want her back?” Trevor tilts his head. 

“Eww.” Elliot laughed. Suddenly, his squad appears from nowhere, backing him. “I'm not going to fight over a worthless girl like her with you.”

From both side of Trevor's car, the door opened and his friends also stepped down, representing at his back. Now this looked more tough. 

“Ooooh!” Elliot clapped. “What do we have here? You say, we all fight ourselves.”

“Let's leave already. Please.” My voice cracks as I pulled Trevor's hands. I was getting scared and If Elliot could say ‘Eww.’ That's a huge downgrade to me which means he never loved me and played with my feelings. 

“No. Not yet.” He whispered, then says to Elliot. “You always want to fight with your team. Let's go man to man.”

“Please let's just go home.” I cried out and Elliot sneered. 

“Awwn. She's tearing up already. poor thing. How about this? After class tomorrow?”

“I don't plan fight battles. I do it when I'm triggered. Enough being childish.” Trevor swats at them before he led me to the front seat of the car. His friends did the same and he starts the engine, leaving Elliot behind. Throughout the ride, I'm quiet, except for the fact that I gave him direction to my house. 

The car finally stops upon arrival. 

“Thank you.” I say without looking at his face. Before I stepped down, he stopped me gripping my hands, leaned over and whispered. 

“Don't forget about my deal. Think about it tonight.” 

I gulped, nodding. “Yeah, whatever.”

After closing the door, the car sped off in an instance. I received a text message from olive: Hey, where did you go? I looked for you since the cops came. I pushed the door opened and went upstairs. I yawned and flopped on my bed, I wasn't just physically tired. I'm emotionally down, weak and naive. I replied her message back: I'm fine. Just at home. Goodnight.

Placing the phone away, I fold my legs together, my chin pressed on both knees. For a moment I think about what Elliot says that Trevor will use me too. 

“Aargh!” I stood on my feet. “If Trevor wanted to do so, he won't propose a deal right? Especially when he hates Elliot.” I say to myself. “Kehlani, why don't you just say yes. Maybe you'll get a chance to revenge. After all, Trevor can't such because it's a fake relationship with a particular aim. Think about that scholarship girl.”

I lay back on my chest. Tomorrow, I'll finally decide. I closed my eyes as the urge for sleep crept in. 

Next morning, I rolled out of bed and smiled sadly. I've finally made up my mind. I went downstairs and Dad was preparing breakfast before he would go to the pastry shop later. He served me pancakes juice. I ate till satisfied and used the moment to fry chips. Packaged it and placed in my bag. After going up to brush and bath and put on my clothes, I'm surprised to see olive. 

“Hey.” I greeted first. 

“Hey, last night. I swear, I searched for you. I shouldn't have left you then.” She groaned. 

I smile. “It's fine. Let's just go to school.” She missed the confession part of the truth or dare and the aftermath. Except she hears the rumour. 

We're finally in school and after the second lesson, at the hallway, I held a deep breath. Yes, I made up my choice and my answer to Trevor would be no. I want to chose myself and live a free life. Who knows the rumors and events that would come up with me and trevor being in a relationship. I wanted peace of mind and happiness. 

Some guy comes to talk to Olive as we walked together through the hallway then my eyes saw it. Elliot and Maddie. Every other thing seemed to pause as I watched the sexual tension between them. My chest heaves and I feel hot. That particular pain was back again. They were stuck together like glue as both neck tilt enjoying their hot kiss. How could this actually happen?

My ex boyfriend suddenly doesn't want me and starts hooking with another girl who happens to be my ex friend and I can't do anything about it? I'm just gonna watch them happy while I'm left to suffer?

No. No. It can't be.. he can't get away with it easily. He can't sleep happily at night while I lament. My chin trembles as he slowly detaches from the kiss, fingers gripping her ass and his eyes locked on mine. A badass smirk on his lips. 

Fuck you, Elliot. I felt a pang of jealousy, hatred, annoyance and pain within as I ran away leaving Olive and her friend behind. 

I was supposed to choose my peace today but I guess there's a bloody turn of events. I don't know where to find him but I just kept on going. My head is spinning and I feel it'll explode any moment. I kept on going, holding my forehead and bumping into people till I reached the restroom. The smell of soap and sweat hit me till I collided into someone's body….my hands on his hard chest. 

Wait…. His?

I gasped, realizing I ran into the boys locker room. And worst, I'm ontop of Trevor. The person I was thinking of. His abs flexed my touch and his hair is dripping wet from his shower. 

“What on earth?”

“I'm ready.” I rushed. 

“Ready for what?”

“To start. The plan. Everything. I'm ready to be your fake girlfriend.”
