I slam the door to my room, breathing hard from running. I slide against the door. My knees fold from under me and I land on my tired feet. I hate running from the school, but I couldn't help it; Latula made a big mistake in front of Meenah.

The mistake was announcing that I had an undying love for the fuchsia blood. Her face morphed into one of confusion, whispers already floating around her group. My own face heated up and I fled from the school, not caring about my last class of the day. 

I felt tears well in my eyes again. Of course Latula had to say that. Of course Meenah had to be right there. Of course she would hate me.

I sniffle a little as snot tries to run onto my face. My hands brush away at my already red eyes. 

God, why did I think I could even trust someone with that secret? I fall into an uneasy sleep, only to be waken up for another school day.

"Y/n!" I ignore the calls of my name. Someone was bound to ask me about what Latula said or try to wheedle the story out of me. I keep walking in the halls of loud, annoying high schoolers.

"Y/n, slow down." I felt someone grab my arm and I look to see 

Meenah. 

I felt my face heat up and I yank my arm away. I keep walking. She's just going to regret talking to me after yesterday.

"Beac)(, I did not just walk up to you to get blown away!" She said in a tight voice. "I actually want to talk aboat w)(at )(appened."

I turn and look her in the eyes, my face hardened and ready for ridicule. My hands fiddle with my backpack straps, my nerves making it difficult to focus on her.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry." I didn't expect that. My face must have shown that too, because she rushed with her words. "I know )(ow s)(itty it is to be called out like t)(at." I don't react to her words. I know it feels awful, it happened to me. Her face turned to a light pink, contrasting her grey skin and dark clothes. 

"I wanted to say I wouldn't mind going on a date wit)( you."

Now my face was bright pink. The words sink into my brain and my mouth dropped open.

"Would 6 at t)(e diner work?"

I nod my head, slowly than furiously. She smiled and kissed me chastely on the cheek. The bell rings to signal that the next class was starting. She walks off, waving behind her back to me. I wave goodbye as well, in a daze to my next class. 

"H3y Y/n." Latula looked gloomy as she sat by me. "1'm 50 50rry 4b0u7 wh47 1 d1d." Her shades were off and her eyes looked remorseful.

I giggle. 

She looked at me with concern. "Wh47 7h3 fuck?"

I slap her on the shoulder lightly. "Meenah asked me out because of you."

Her eyes widen and she squeals.

Th calling out was horrible, but I'm too happy to care; Meenah likes me back!

**God, I didn't know what to write for this one. I'm so sorry it's so shitty, I don't know hat to do anymore XD. I'll keep working on these, sorry for the long wait, but Spring break is coming up and I have a lot of free time! I'll try to maintain a schedule, but I can't make promises. Love you guys, bye :o)**
