I walked towards my locker and on my way, I saw something. I saw something that didn't seem in place.

Jade and James were talking. It wasn't a normal talking. It was a peculiar way for two people to be speaking actually.  She looked like she wanted the Earth to swallow her.

What the hell was he telling her?

I was going to walk up to them to stop the situation, but right at that moment....

"Hey Sophie!"

"Simon. Hi."

"I'm sorry were you in a hurry?"

I looked to the side.

James was gone.

"No, not at all."

Jade turned her head and made her way towards us.

"Morning peasants."

I smirked.

"Good morning to you too Jade."

"Do you guys smell that?" Simon sniffed around in the air.

"Jade, why do you smell like a man?" He questioned.

"Alright. The moment of truth has come guys.... I'm  secretly a cross dresser."

"I'm not buying that BS Jade."

"What, I can't have my own fun?"

"Jade, you find everyone here repulsive. Who on Earth would you do it with?" I raised my eyebrow.

I didn't want to get suspicions on her.  She was one of my best friends. It would be wrong.

"Sophie dear, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Simon crossed his arms.

Suddenly a look of shame flushed on her face. She couldn't keep up her act.

"I..... I needed....."

"We can't hear you Jade!" Simon shouted.

"I needed a good time! Alright!?" She stormed off.

She couldn't fool me. I know she wouldn't do that just because she wanted to. Something was wrong, and I felt it boil through my blood.

"Incredible." Simon shook his head.

"Don't shake your head like that. She needs help."

Simon seemed lost. He didn't know what to do anymore.

He started to walk away.

"Simon, where are you going?"

"Somewhere."

"Simon stop!"

His feet planted themselves to the ground.

"Let me come with you."

But someone pulled me by the shoulder.

"There you are." James held me close, and Simon disappeared.

"James, hey."

"Is something wrong?"

"Maybe.... I don't know....."

"If you want..."

"What were you telling Jade?" I interrupted him.

"Who's Jade?"

"You're an idiot, you know that?"

"Babe, look I'm sorry, ok?" He went to kiss my nose and I pulled away.
