Sitting on the edge of the cliff at McLaren Point Mackie and Ben gently kiss each other, hand on Ben's back to hold him close as Ben's hands roam Mackie's hair, the 2 boys never pull away because they've wanted nothing more than to be doing this. Ben knows he missed Mackie because all he does is think about him, and how much he can be himself around him. Mackie just wants someone to trust and he believes he can make Ben happy, but they're both living in fairytales because none of it can be real.

Woken up by his alarm Ben sits up thinking about that dream, why is he dreaming about Mackie now? Maybe it's guilt because of what he did yesterday, or what he's planning on doing in the next few days to come.

Driving to school he walks to his friends with the biggest grin on her face, "finally that text last night was so vague" Ali starts, "what'd you do?"

Prepared to relive his visit at Jeremy's Ben starts, "I went over there and acted like I missed him and of course he fell for it. Anyways we're kissing on his bed and he runs to the bathroom to look for a condom-"

"You slept with him?!" Brooke cuts in

"Hell no! He goes to the bathroom and I still had his phone password so I searched, and you'll never believe what I found in their text messages."

Ben takes out his phone showing the girls, "OH MY GOD!" Brooke yells

"Brooke shush!" Ben covers her mouth as they swipe through naked pictures of Jenny Field. "I sent them to myself from his phone then deleted the text on his phone like it never happened."

"What are you going to do?" Ali looks at him

"If she wants to act like a slut she'll get treated like one." He pulls a second phone out, "I bought this burner phone. I'm going to text the pictures out to the school using the burner phone then I'm tossing it. We'll see if she can still talk shit on Instagram with her nudes all over the school."

"Ben I love you," Ali says excitedly.

Some people do bad things but have good hearts but Ben was truly a bad person and it all felt warranted to him, maybe if he gave Mackie a chance this wouldn't be who he is, but he can't focus on Mackie so he's choosing to focus on Jeremy and Jenny hurting him.

Going into school as if everything is normal Ben waits for the perfect time to expose Jenny, maybe he was second-guessing himself, is he really that mean? All the questions stop when he walks in the lunch room to find Jenny sitting between Jeremy's legs. Stopping while he shoots daggers at them, Ben takes out the burner constructing the text attaching Jenny's nudes. Without a second thought, he sends them out to as many people in the school as possible. Standing in the middle of his destruction Ben watches everyone open the text from an unknown number and gasp as they see the pictures. Jeremy checks his phone and sees the text showing it to Jenny who starts to panic as everyone stares at her.

Turning to leave Ben walks out of the cafeteria feeling proud, but that feeling is cut short when he walks out and lands right in front of Mackie. They stare at each other and it's awkward, looking past Ben Mackie sees chaos in the cafeteria through the windows on the doors, and asks "what's going on?"

Ben walks past him and says "Jenny Field got exposed, check your phone" then keeps walking.

Quickly taking his phone out Mackie opens the random unknown text and sees naked pictures of Jenny, looking down the hall he watches Ben walk away.

"Jenny Field please report to the dean's office immediately," everyone hears over the intercom.

The day's almost over and no one's been able to focus on anything else, Jenny's life is pretty much none existent at this point and Ben still felt proud. He stands outside talking to his friends as they're laughing at the whole ordeal

"Hey look," Brooke points seeing Mackie walking towards them

Ben's heart panics a little seeing the unhappy expression on his face, "Ben I need to talk to you."

"I don't think so" Ali steps in, "he doesn't associate with criminals."

"If anyone's a criminal right now it's the three of you" Mackie retorts, Ben stays quiet and Mackie looks at him worried. "Do you get what you've done?" He waits and Ben is still quiet so Mackie walks away.

Afraid Ben turns to his friends "I'll be right back,"

"Ben let the freak go he doesn't know anything," Ali tries to grab him to stay.

"Ali stop!" He rushes after Mackie "what do you know?" He asks stopping Mackie

Sighing "I know that in the entire school, you're the only person with my phone number or enough phone numbers to pull something like that off."

"What like I did it? Jenny Field fucked with a lot of people's boyfriends, not just mine"

"You mean you did this for Jeremy? The guy you claimed wasn't worth it"

"I didn't do this!" He barks lying "and even if I did why do you care?"

"Ben if this comes back to you, you're going to get in a lot of trouble, and I care because I don't want anything to happen to you stupid! But it's like you don't think, you do dumb shit and expect them to work."

"I'm not going to get in trouble because I didn't do it," was his reply but his head was still stuck on the fact that Mackie said he cared.

Shaking his head Mackie sees who Ben truly is and it makes him sad, "I honestly thought you could be different, Ben" he says then walks away leaving Ben feeling guilty.

"Sorry I'm such a disappointment!" Ben shouts after him.
