I grab everything else from the floor, packing it back into my bag, people sniggering at e, and then run after Phil. My body clashes with something, and I look up to see Max. I don't have time for this. I keep running, and turn around a corner, catching a glimpse of the boy in full back.

"Phil!" I shout, still running. 

eventually, I reach him, placing a hand on his shoulder, and he turns around. I try to catch a breath, cheeks damp, but I'm not sure when I started to cry. 

"Care to explain why you lied?" He asks in a harsh tone, one I've never heard from him before. I have to hold back from breaking down.

"I- I didn't lie." I say quietly, "I didn't know it was there."

"Oh, sure!" He says sarcastically with a huff.

"I'm serious!" I exclaim, looking up at him. "I use to bring them to school cause I couldn't go 6 fucking hours without hurting myself! I guess I forgot that one was there!"

"I- shit, sorry, I thought-"

"It's fine," I tell him, wrapping my arms around his neck and going up on my tiptoes to kiss him.

"Disgusting!" Someone shouts, and I just smile into the kiss, using one of my hands to give them the middle finger. 

"Sorry that I got mad at you."

"Sorry that I gave you a reason to be mad."

"But it's not your fault, Dan."

"And it's not yours!"

"It is." He says softly and almost inaudibly.

I just laugh, leaning into his side as we walk to our lessons, maths.
