[Cooper groaned from the floor, having trouble getting up] Fucking bitch was getting what she deserved. No one else was gonna fuck her otherwise. Jesus fuckin’ Christ.

[Kendall had gotten a pass out of his classes to help with training the new football team. He had just put his stuff away in his locker and was heading out to the field when he heard a familiar voice calling for help. He traced back a few steps and opened up a storage closet nearby, finding Astrid and Cooper inside. When he saw that she was crying, he immediately pulled Cooper away from her and punched him a few times, knocking him onto the floor] Stay the fuck away from her, you hear me? 

[Cooper put his hand over her mouth, pressing his body against hers] Shhhh. No one’s gonna hear you, anyway. They’re all in class right now. I’d ask if you’re ready but I think you already are.

[Astrid was still shaking her head and crying hard] Please… Don’t do this to me, Cooper. Please don’t. [She finally started calling out for help, hoping someone would hear her] Help me! Please help! [Her sobbing quickly quieted her down] …Please. 

Ah, so I’ll be doing it. Can’t say I’m disappointed, you’ve always looked smokin’.[Cooper moved a hand down to her ass and squeezed it before moving both hands up her dress. He pulled her tights and underwear down to her knees, kissing her neck afterwards] How wet are you right now, Stevens?

[Astrid shook her head and started crying, not answering his question] 

[Cooper opened the door and shoved her inside, closing the door behind him. He pinned her against the wall and ran his hand down her torso ugh] You don’t have a choice, Stevens. Now are you gonna take those tights off for me or do I gotta do it myself?

[Astrid whimpered, trying to free herself from him as she was pulled along to the closet] Please don’t… Cooper, stop it. I don’t want to do this. 

Convincing you to give me another chance. I can be really persuasive. [He chuckled, removing his arm from her waist and taking a firm grasp of her wrist. He looked around the hallway to see if anyone was coming and quickly walked into the nearby storage closet, pulling Astrid along with him]

[Astrid shifted around uncomfortably, trying to remove his arm from around her body] What are you doing? 

[Cooper slipped his arm tightly around her waist and brought her closer to him, his expression turning darker] I think I can.

[Astrid examined his face for a few minutes curiously, shaking her head] You can’t. 

You burned my fucking jacket? [Cooper was about to lash out at her, but told himself to play all of this strategically. He took a deep breath and brought a slight smile on his face] That’s alright. I forgive you. See? Forgiveness is great. How can I get yours?

[Astrid smirked at him] Those numbers were in that jacket you gave me. I must say that that jacket made for some amazing kindling. Leather, who knew? 

[Cooper’s nostrils flared slightly] How the fuck'd you know about that?

That sounds like a whole lot of bullshit, Cooper. Did you try the same line with Tessa and Ally as well? I would imagine it not working well with either of them after they realized that you weren’t going to call them back.

'Cuz there's no one I wanna be with more than you.

[Astrid rose her eyebrows at him in disbelief] You’re kidding me, right? Are you actually kidding me? Oh my god, no. Why on earth would I do that? 

[Cooper smiled at the girl in front of him, even though she was glaring at him] How about a second chance? C’mon, Stevens. I didn’t mean any of what I said the other day. Why don’t we start over? I miss you.

[Astrid was putting her books away in her locker and grabbing what she needed for her next class when she felt someone’s presence behind her. She closed her locker door and turned around, glaring at the boy who stood there] What do you want?

[Cooper stumbled back, covering his nose with his hands. When he saw blood, he called out to her angrily] You crazy fucking bitch! No wonder nobody can fucking stand you!

[Astrid turned around and walked back towards him, glaring at him] I didn’t have any expectations for you and I’m disappointed. You fucking asshole. [She took a deep breath before punching him right in those nose]

[Cooper watched Astrid walk away, shouting after her] Sorry no one can live up to your fucking high expectations!

You know, I don’t know I was expecting, either, Cooper. Maybe someone who was kind and considerate and didn’t immediately run to some other girl after whatever night that you planned didn’t work out for you. I can’t even— you are such a despicable human being. [Astrid turned around and started walking away]

[Cooper glanced down at his shoes before looking back at her] I dunno what you were expecting, Stevens.

[Astrid bit her lip and stared at him, not really believing what she was hearing] Right, okay. I was going to give you some cookies, too, as an apology, but oh my god, you are such an asshole. Oh my god.

[Cooper nodded at her, shoving his hands in his pockets] It's alright. I'm over it.

[Astrid made a face at him, getting rid of any sadness in her system for the time being] I’m fine. I was just, um, coming to apologize for having to ask for a rain check after that dinner.

[Cooper pulled away from Megan when he heard Astrid's voice, licking his lips. He ran his hand through his hair] Hey, Stevens. How're you doing?

[Astrid waved goodbye to the people she was speaking to, finally stepping out of the school. She smiled to herself when the soccer field was in sight and quickened her steps a bit. Cooper eventually came into her sight and she nearly called out for him, but saw that he was talking to another girl. She kept walking towards them, slowly and watching them carefully, but stopped dead in her tracks when he leaned in to kiss her. Astrid gulped, her heart sinking immediately; she wanted to start crying, but she didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of making her feel this way. Not yet, at least. She took a deep breath and walked towards Cooper and the girl, trying to stay calm] Hi.

[Cooper got talking to Megan, running his hand through his hair. They talked about plans for the weekend and she brought up that her parents were going to be out of town. He grinned and stepped closer to her, moving his hands to her waist and saying that he was definitely free. She smiled up at him and ran her hand down his arm, telling him that she couldn't wait. He moved one hand to the small of her back and the other to the nape of her neck, kissing her deeply]

[Astrid got distracted on he way out, talking with some people about her campaign for senior class president]

[Cooper quickly changed for practice and walked out the door towards the soccer field, throwing his bag over his shoulder. When he go to the field, he dropped his bag on the grass and started warming up. His warm up was cut short when Megan from his Biology class appeared by the fence. He grinned and waved over at her, walking her way]

[After the final bell rang, Astrid quickly packed up her things and went to her locker. She grabbed her backpack and a box of freshly baked cookies, then began walking excitedly towards the soccer field. She felt bad for cancelling her plans with Cooper after the triple date and decided to make it up to him by surprising him at his soccer practice with cookies she had baked]
