"What do you mean interesting? I don't want you talking to my boyfriend, especially now that I know that you kissed him two years ago."

She smiles brightly at me, like she's hearing pleasant news.

"Is that what he told you?"

Her tongue curls inside her mouth, suddenly I feel uneasy.

"Y-yes. Because it's the truth. Tye told me that he kissed you when he was in a long distance relationship. So you can't blame me for not wanting you around him." Trisha follow my words with a scoff.

"Sweetie, we didn't just kiss two years ago."

"Then wh—"

"We hooked up. And when his girlfriend found out and left him we continued to hook up. He needed somebody to show him love, and that was me."

I feel a painful knot twist in my stomach, knowing that the guy I like used to have sex with my worst enemy. Knowing that all this time the bitch who bullied me has had more of my boyfriend than I have.

"Y-you're lying. He would have told me if that were true."

"Hey, if you're that convinced that he's so honest then why not ask him yourself? He is your boyfriend after all. Just say my name, that's all it's takes."

"Stop it just stop lying! It's pissing me off. You still haven't told me what you two talking about yesterday, that's why we're in here not for me to listen to your bullshit stories."

She takes a step closer to me and grins,

"I'll let you find that out for yourself."

The door of the classroom swings open, interrupting our conversation. Tye stands at the doorframe, eyes widened in horror by seeing the two of us in a room alone together. Trisha takes in a deep breath, pulling them slacking her shoulders.

"I'll leave you love birds to it, don't wanna be a third wheel now. Catch you later." She playfully winks and exits the room with swaying hips.

I don't take my eyes off my feet, I didn't even realise a tear was streaming down my cheek, but when I do I quickly wipe it away.

"Lilo..." He walks closer to me and circles his arms for a hug. I push him away angrily, making him stumble back.

"Did you fuck Trisha?"

There's an empty silence, Tye stares at me in shock which only makes my face more heated.

"Did you or did you not?!" I shout. The crack can be heard in my voice while thick tears coat my eyes. He continues to stare at me like that, then his expression softens.

"I just didn't want to upset you."

It's like my throat has been pulled by strings, tightening the airway so that my breath becomes shallow. He didn't even deny it...

"You didn't want to UPSET me?! You could have been honest from the start but instead you decided to leave this out! I have every right to be upset!!!"

"But it was two years ago. Does it really still matter?"

"I'm so sick of hearing you say that! Of course it still matters you jerk!!! I don't care if it was two years ago or if it was two months ago, the reason I'm mad is because you promised me no more secrets yet you've been keeping this from me the whole time! Do you know how hurtful that is to me? That I had to hear this from Trisha and not you? My own boyfriend? How fucking dare you..."

Tears now rain from my eyes. Tye gets ahold of both of my wrists to calm me but I try to push my way out, frantically waving my arms around in hopes that he'll let go.

"Let go of me Tye!"

"Lilo you need to calm down! this was exactly what I didn't want to happ—"

"Are you still fucking her?" I freeze.

His eyebrows raise at my question, I finally push his hands off and face away from him, I even can't bring myself to look him in the eye. I hear him breathe in, ready to counter but I cut him off— "Just answer the question."

"No. We're not still hooking up. I made a mistake with Trisha years ago, but that was before I met you. You're nothing like her. You're strong, funny, amazing and beautiful. Everything from the past means nothing now... So trust me."

I inhale unsteadily, somehow trying to command the tears to crawl back into my eyelids.

"Please don't mess with me right now... Please tell me you're telling the truth because I swear to God if you're lying..."

"I'm not. I'm sorry for hurting you like this. This time I promise, no more secrets, okay?"

I face away again to think. My tongue moistures my lips before I show a small nod, Tye immediately embraces me with a warm hug. His hands hold my frame, rubbing his thumb on my back and pushing me into his chest.

My chin rests on his shoulder, a tear drops from my eyelashes.

"Your boyfriend's trash."

"I'm just warning you."

"We hooked up."

Those words rotate in my mind. My arms wrap and tighten around Tye's neck. I sniff, burying my face into his shirt and trying not to cry anymore.
