"That's just...that's dumb," Seth exclaimed, frustrated already. He groaned. "Let me just shoot them both already and you'll be at peace! C'mon, we both knew Evelyn was bad news. I'm not surprised. Now let's get even with her!"

[Guest]

Lola rested her hand on Jake's shoulder and she stared up at the hurt looking Spaniard, "Jake, you shouldn't let anyone get away with doing this to you. You know I'm usually against stuff like this but I've seen this happen to you once and we didn't do anything, and I say we should, you were taught not to accept defeat, yet you're surrendering to those two for defeating you? This isn't the Jake that we know, the Jacob I know wouldn't admit defeat to two bitches." Lola said shaking him slightly so he would get the message through that thick brain of his.

Jake sighed, he knew their hearts were in the right places. They cared enough to wanna kill the two girls who had caused him pain.

"Is the cross bow necessary?" Jake asked, worried that Seth would end up with felony charges for missing the target and shooting a bald eagle or something like that.

[Tiger-Lily]

"Compound bow," Seth corrected him and then frowned. "What, you wanna let Red off easy?"

[Guest]

"Whatever." Jake said rolling his eyes, "Seth we already have pretty heavy records. Do you honestly think we can afford shooting my bitches with a compound bow?"

"I can do it." Lola piped up.

Jake threw her a surprised look.

"What? No one would expect me, plus I have a clean record and with this being my first offense and all I'd probably go to prison for five years, maybe be let out after three for good behavior." Lola stated.

Jake just shook his head. Poor girl she hung around him too much.

[Tiger-Lily]

"Firstly," Seth said, "Seeing as I have "I told you so" status, I should be the one to do it. Secondly, Lola can't handle my bow. Thirdly, in the event that the bow isn't our choice weapon, the accumulation of alternatives, say, like bloodhounds or a stake to burn her at, would have to come from me because I knew a guy in juvie who told me where the NYPD gets German Shepherds trained and shit."

He shot Jake a smug look. "That failing, we can always go for strafing."

[Guest]

"Starfing?" Lola and Jake both said shooting Seth an odd look.

[Tiger-Lily]

Seth paused and then said flippantly, "Yeah, like, machine gun fire from low-flying aircraft."

[Guest]

Lola narrowed her eyes at Seth shaking her head, Jake immediately regret even asking Seth what the hell "strafing" even was.

"I don't even wanna know, how you would accumulate the man power and the... just don't I'd rather be surprised when the FBI picks me up." Jake said in pure astonishment.

"Seth must all your plans involve stealing military aircrafts? I mean are we really honestly gonna physically hurt Rachel and Evelyn?" She asked the insane blond.

[Tiger-Lily]

"Fine, no physical damage to them. But I bet Lola could go beat them up, right? She's a girl so it's okay," Seth said logically. "And then we can, like, kidnap Nova from Red and either give him away or Jake can keep him. It's only fair." His tone indicated he regretted having to tone down the insanity level of his ideas.

[Guest]

"I can so take on Rachel, bitch was taller than me and I still kicked her ass the first time I can do it again." Lola said proudly.

Jake thought about Seth falling down from Evelyn's ceiling and kidnapping Nova, although the whole scene in his head seemed funny he knew that would probably really hurt her, and even though he was hurting because of her he knew that would be really bad for her, "Seth I don't know about Nova."

Lola widened her eyes and then narrowed them and punched Jake in the arm, "God damn it Jake! She hurt your feelings, and if anything stole your dog from you! And you would feel bad for stealing it back! You know as extreme as that strafing thing is it seems like it would be the right thing to do!"

[Tiger-Lily]

"Yes!" Seth agreed, leaning over and knuckle-bumping Lola's hand. "But seriously, dude, I have ot ask, what the hell is your damn problem here? Bitch hurt you and you're still wilting at the thought of hurting her back?" He glanced at Lola, blue eyes serious. "He's know her....two months, really. They didn't talk all November, they spent most of September trying to kill each other and October was the ONE month where they got along. So like, you knew this chick," he said, turning back to Jake, "in a positive way for a month and a half. And you're supposedly this deep in it already?"

[Guest]

Lola pushed away a dark curl from her eye and looked up at Jake, "Jake, Seth has a point. You know I could understand your feelings for Rachel, I mean you guys dated for like two years but even then. Towards the end you could tell she really wasn't as invested as you were in the relationship, and if you were hardly with Evelyn how are your feelings for her this deep?" She wondered just why Jake was so against this and Lola knew he hadn't seen Evelyn at all the month of November so this really confused her.

Jake just threw his hands up, "Its just, I hate arguing this point to you guys to anyone really. No one ever saw us when we would get along or when I would just sit in her room, or how she stayed in mine and we would just talk about so many things, things that I probably have only told to you Lo or to my parents or something like that. It was just, I connected to her more than I did to Rachel, because around Evelyn I didn't have to pretend to be someone I was just me, and she was just her and it sucks because I let my wall down around her and now, now it just sucks."

[Tiger-Lily]

Seth's response was a face-palm. He threw Lola a disgusted look. "I've had to hear this ALL SEMESTER. You handle this. Seriously, if they'd connected on any level, would she just ditch him or whatever?"

[Guest]

"Jacob he's right, if you really connected with her and you felt like she genuinely connected with you she wouldn't have decided to never see you again. There is something wrong with that. Listen I know you want to believe that she did because you really liked her, but if she didn't I'm sorry but she didn't. She wouldn't have left you and you guys would be together or be dating. Jake its hard but she doesn't like you the way that you do and I'm sorry but one day someone will, and it was obvious it wasn't Evelyn." Lola told Jake, patting his shoulder. She hated this, she couldn't believe that Evelyn had somehow made him believe that they had something with each other.

"I don't know, Lo. Its just--"

"No Jacob! Its not just! Its not right, its not right at all that you have to be the one that gets stuck with the girl who will never give themselves to you, how you're willing to put your heart out there and all they do is stomp on it! You don't deserve it. I know Rachel made you become a jerk, but I saw you, the old you. The real you when you would talk about Evelyn to me and its not fair! Its not okay? They deserve to pay for what they did." Lola snapped.

[Tiger-Lily]

Seth was getting really bored. "Lola, I vote for kidnapping the mutt," he said flatly. "It won't physically hurt her but it will send a message."

[Guest]

"I think that sounds like a good idea, so what do we do sneak through the window?" Lola asked Seth.

"Good luck with that, she has some super stupid fingerprint alarm bullshit on her window." Jake snorted, although he was a bit shocked to be going along with this, but it was Seth eventually Jake gave into his ideas.

Lola sat on the edge of Jake's bed crossing her legs, "Hmmm, well we can't exactly steal him off the street she'd recognize Seth's bright as head from a mile away. Wait... do we want her to know it was us or is this gonna be some sort of secret mission?"

[Tiger-Lily]

Seth looked out Jake's smashed window, musing in his head for a moment. He turned to the other two and his eyes lit up. "Jake'll do it. I'm positive we can find out how to get past her alarm....if worse comes to worst, Jake, use your stupid Spanish charm on her and then steal the mutt. We need to let her know who stole him. That's the whole point. Not like she can steal Nova back."

[Guest]

"Wait we're doing this right now!?" Jake exclaimed, he knew they wanted revenge but he didn't think it would be so sudden.

"Yeah I'm with the spazz on that one, I don't really think we could pull this off right now." Lola said agreeing with Jake

[Tiger-Lily]

"Yeah, I doubt Jake's up to saying much to her in the event that he has to do fast-talking," Seth agreed. "We'll do it over the weekend or something."

He straightened from the wall he'd been leaning against. "But anyways, I got four tickets to the game on Friday. It'll cheer you up in the meantime. I'm pretty sure the clones will be coming." He paused, wondering if Connor would show. Seth shrugged it off irritably.

[Guest]

Jake exhaled, after not breathing for a moment he wasn't really ready to face Evelyn at all. He figured as long as they could hold off on this hoping that maybe the both of them would forget it entirely it would be best, "Yeah that does sound fun, you going Lo?" Jake asked her.

"Yeah, Brooke scored us a couple of tickets so we're going. We'll probably run into you guys there. But if we're done here I need to get back to studying, I have to memorize a monologue by Friday. So I'll see you guys then." Lola went and gave Jake a hug, and waved at Seth as she showed herself out.

[Tiger-Lily]

Seth nodded at Lola and then eyed Jake briefly. "Seriously, you're gonna let her jerk you around like an idiot or are you gonna get even?"

Before Jake could reply (no doubt with some half-hearted excuse of a middle answer), Seth headed back to his own room.

Ashlee had fought with Evelyn and Luke about letting Evelyn come to the game with them. After everything that had went down between James and her they thought they were doing her a favor by telling her she couldn't come, but she was so stubborn and whenever Evelyn was like that there was no talking to her.

So they came to some agreement that they wouldn't sit near each other just so if James was looking for them (which he would) he wouldn't see Evelyn and there wouldn't be drama for once.

"Come on Ev let's go!" Ashlee called to her looking down at the time on her phone playing with the buttons on her winter coat, even though she had been wearing a hoodie underneath she read that it was supposed to get pretty cold tonight and even snow.


***

Jacob had been sitting on the couch texting Lola asking her where she would be seated, she told him which row or wherever it sounded close to where Seth had said they would be sitting so he figured he'd see her there. Jake hadn't really gotten all dressed for the occasion, he just wore jeans with a black hoodie and t-shirt. As much as he wanted to enjoy himself tonight he knew he was going to have a hard time doing so.

Antonio flopped down next to him on the couch, he seemed ready and excited to go. "Dude thank god we're going if I had to study another bio term I think I would have killed myself. Plus I heard we're on a winning streak, should be a good game."

Jake just nodded not really listening to Antonio's chattering, he glanced down at his watch and figured they should probably get going, "Hey Seth! Come on its gonna get crowded."

[Tiger-Lily]

"We have good seats," Seth reassured him, pulling an NYU hoodie over his head as he emerged from his room. "Where's the clo-?"

"Finish that and you will die," Ashton stated flatly, walking toward them while zipping his his winter jacket. He tugged on his boots and Seth snorted, leading the way out into the hallway.

"You go ahead. Luke said he'd be waiting in the lobby for you," Evelyn told Ashlee. "I'm gonna sit with Carrie." Albeit Carrie not being eager to stop her exam prep for "some dumb game", she had eventually been harassed into going with Evelyn.

Evelyn finished wrapping a scarf around her neck, buttoned up her trench coat and shoved on her boots, leaving her hair down. She hadn't really bothered wearing anything pro-NYU. She wasn't all that interested in the outcome of the game. It was just something to do.

Personally, she thought Ashlee was overreacting. Evelyn was in no mood to talk to James, but whatever.

[Guest]

Antonio and Jake both snickered getting up off the couch, Jacob zipped up his hoodie and Antonio pulled on his coat, "Dude you're gonna freeze."

Jacob just shrugged, "Eh I really don't get that cold anyway."

***

"Okay, I'll see you there then." Ashlee said walking out of Evelyn's suite and headed towards the elevators.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn stayed a moment to call Carrie and have her meet her in the lobby, and then paused to give Nova one last kiss on his furry head. He whined and widened sad brown eyes at her. Evelyn faltered for a second, torn.

She fervently hoped Alexis might take him on a walk or something and let her roomie know she was headed out.

***

Seth glanced up, mildly surprised to see Ashlee, but figured she was probably visiting Evelyn or something.

Awkward. "'Sup?" he said nonchalantly to her, entering the elevator with the other guys and a few more people, many of whom wore NYU gear.

Ashton glanced at his phone as he entered, noting the sudden tinge of awkwardness in the air. he wasn't sure why but then as he entered the lift behind Jake, his eyes fell on Ashlee. Great.

He resumed playing the game he was on on his smartphone as the lift headed downwards.
