Queen of Broken Hearts

A thing or what?

Every time I sit down at this table, it seems to have gathered more people. It's like we're bacteria and were multiplying every 20 minutes. I sit down in between Liam and Elliot.

"Guys?"

I look up from my burger and look at Liam.

"I need to tell you something."

Aww good for you!!!

I give Liam an encouraging smile, whilst everyone else see quizzical.

"So as some of you know," he looks at me."I just thought you might want to know I'm, I'm uh, I like boys."

Almost everyone's jaws drop. I just sit there grinning.

"Thank fuck for that!" I joke and give him a massive hug.

"You knew?"

I just shrug at Elliot before kissing his cheek and getting up.

"Where are you going?" He asks.

"To get some water." I say.

"Hang on are you two a thing?" Squeals Ella and I wince.

She heard. I just stare at the floor and walk off to buy a drink.

+++++

I end up at the tree again during free period. I guess I can't be bothered to go home.

I get the sketchpad out my bag and start to draw a little daisy. I don't even notice Elliot walk over me.

"Hey."

I jump and look up. When I see who it is I blush in embarrassment.

"So are we a thing or what?"

I'm so shocked by his forwardness I'm taken back.

"I need the loo..." I start. I grab my stuff and run back to the school. All the toilets are locked but one. I pull the door open and as I turn to lock it something comes in contact with my head and I go unconscious.
