"Well, well, well, if it isn't Megan Makowski," Sydney exclaims as she walks towards the gate. Destiny and I were never ones for facing conflict, but Sydney never had an issue with it. It was one of the things that made having Sydney Parks on your side so advantageous. She would stand up for her friends no matter what it took.

Destiny does her best to guide me and call Sydney off simultaneously, "Syd come on. There's no point, everyone already saw it and knows. I'm sure they will forget about it by the end of the weekend!"

"Come on Destiny, this is bigger than some stupid Snapchat drama! This is about a little b**** who doesn't know how to mind her own business!" Sydney was definitely not planning on backing down, and she was never afraid to use "colorful" language.

"Woah, woah, woah, you can't just go around calling me that!" Megan shouts. "You could at least have the decency to tell me what you're referring to," she adds a little scoff at the end and I just know she has a smug look on her face. I guess Destiny decided to stay out of it because she refrains from commenting.

"Really? You don't know what this is about. Well let's see, it's about you posting people's private confessions on your idiotic, lame excuse for a Snapchat story! You know how awkward Destiny is going to feel in her classes on Monday because of you?!"

"Oh please," Megan's friend, I think her name is Emily, chimes in, "You're literally making a big deal out of nothing. You really think people have nothing better to do than make fun of a no-name like Destiny for having a crush on the star athlete on the baseball team. News flash: everyone has a crush on Luke, and nobody cares!"

Destiny says a few choice things with more "colorful" language. Megan's group says some things back. The whole situation gets out of hand, and the game's security guard escorts Sydney off of the campus. Naturally with Sydney being our ride, Destiny and I follow... after everyone is out of sight, of course, so they don't know we were with her.

On our walk of shame to Sydney's car, Destiny breaks the silence. "I mean, don't get me wrong, it was really nice for Syd to stand up for me like that, but do you think she was overreacting? It was pretty dumb to start a whole fight over that."
280Please respect copyright.PENANA9i11ERkJgQ
I'm not sure how to respond but I finally say, "It was crazy what Megan did, but I do think Sydney could've handled it, um, more maturely."
280Please respect copyright.PENANAjnNNbnB4s7
Destiny agrees, "I'm kinda worried about Sydney, do you think she will get in trouble with the school because of this? I don't want to feel responsible."
280Please respect copyright.PENANAwxfW3IuuAB
"Come on, this is Syd we're talking about. This isn't her first rodeo when it comes to getting in trouble or acting questionably. She'll be fine, and it definitely was not your fault."

"Thanks, Ness." I guess I'm not too shabby either when it comes to comforting people.

As Destiny and I get in Sydney's car, I sense that Sydney is extremely angry. "I cannot believe that half-wit of a guard made me leave the game! That was totally unfair. They were yelling too!"
280Please respect copyright.PENANAUnkRjuHQJf
"Well, in the guard's defense, you did threaten and try to punch Megan," Destiny offers but quickly adds, "but yeah, totally unfair," when she notices that her comment doesn't sit well with Sydney.

"Let's just go on to Poppin'," Sydney offers and sighs in defeat.

"Sounds like a good plan," I conclude.

The rest of the car ride is pretty silent, at least quiet in comparison to most times with Syd around.
280Please respect copyright.PENANA3HJBhbEAYx
"I hate to agree with Emily, but I'm sure no one will even remember or at least care to mention any of this by Monday," I say trying to assure my friends.

Unfortunately for Destiny, nothing could have been further from the truth.
