You Know I Will: The High School Years part 2 7/8
Here's the next to last installment in my original story: You Know I Will: The High School Years. Sorry for the wait, girls! Enjoy!!
CHAPTER 7:
Several weeks had passed since Lucas and Ashley had broken up. Rebecca finally had her man back. She’d comforted him, held him as he tried to make sense of the fact that the girl he thought he’d loved had betrayed him.
Nothing more than kisses at this point, but she’d take what she could get. It was certainly better than being ignored like she had been when Lucas was dating Ashley. The only downside? Not being able to gloat over her victory. Though she didn’t need Lucas figuring out her true nature and dumping her before their relationship found its footing again. As mortifying as the truth was, Rebecca knew the only people she could be herself around were Carter and Brent. So she text messaged them both, telling them to met her that night at Club Bleu.
The two boys showed up that night easily spotting her at a table in the corner.
“You summoned us?” Brent asked dryly.
“Have a seat, gentlemen,” Rebecca said, motioning to the empty chairs before her.
“So, what’s the occasion, Manning?” Carter asked. He and Brent stared at Rebecca curiously.
“We’re here to celebrate our victory. The demise of Lucas and Ashley‘s relationship? The three of us single-handedly destroyed it. That deserves a drink, don‘t you think?” Rebecca replied with a twisted smile, raising her glass in a toast. Brent returned the smile.
“I’ll drink to that,” he agreed, downing his personally spiked Coke.
“Cheers,” Carter said, smiling as well as he clinked his glass with Manning and Jordan. The order of the universe it seemed was finally shifting in their favor once again.

Ross had decided to bring Emily to Club Bleu for the evening. After a few turns on the dance floor to some fast paced songs, he left her at a booth with their drinks while he went to the restroom. As Emily sat waiting for him she was shocked to overhear Rebecca, Carter and Brent talking near her. And what she overheard made her relieved she was sitting down because had she been standing her legs would’ve given out.
Once Ross returned he found his girlfriend shaking, her hands balled into fists, breathing in heavily through her nose. He could’ve sworn she was glaring at her Coke.
“Em, you okay?” he asked worriedly, placing his hand on her shoulder.
“Shh!” she whispered hoarsely, pulling him down into the booth next to her, covering his mouth with her hand.
Rebecca, Carter and Brent continued talking, the loud music throughout the club making them totally oblivious to their surroundings. After the three of them had left Emily and Ross turned to each other, wide-eyed. They had to get to Ashley and Lucas. And fast.
