It's the next day Lily had to stay after her lab to ask a question about assignment that they are working on and Hope is waiting for her then Lily walks out, Hope looks at her

'Hey' Hope says

'Hey sorry I had to ask a question about assignment that we are doing' Lily says

'That's fine, I'm not in a hurry' Hope says

'You seem a little quiet today, what's wrong?' Lily asks

'You noticed huh, I thought you didn't' Hope says

Lily stops walking which makes Hope stop walking they look at each other

'Hey talk to me, I'm your girlfriend whatever is bothering you, you can tell me what it is, I'm your safe place' Lily says

'I just don't want to cause tension in between you and Michelle' Hope says

'Why, what did she say to make you upset?' Lily asks

'She didn't say anything, it's just seems like since we got together she's been giving me the cold shoulder and I know it's because of that Instagram story because I know that she saw it' Hope says

'I'll tell you what I'll talk to her and and see what is going on, I'm not going to mention you, I'm just going to say that I have noticed some tension between you guys, is that ok?' Lily asks

'I hate that you have to lie to her but if it gets the ball rolling then so be it' Hope says, Lily smiles

'That's the spirit besides it's only a white lie' Lily says

'Fair enough' Hope says

'Come on let's go meet the others for lunch' Lily says

'Alright' Hope says

Before they leave Lily kisses Hope on the lips and they leave holding hands to the lunch room

It's the next day Lily and Michelle are walking towards each other because nursing lab is towards Michelle's way and Auto lab is towards Lily's way

'Hey you got a minute to talk?' Lily asks

'Why do I feel I'm in trouble' Michelle says, Lily walks up to her

'Oh trust me you would know if I was mad at you' Lily says

'True, so what's up?' Michelle asks

'So I have noticed some tension between you and Hope lately since we got together, is there something going on between you guys that neither me or Bailey knows about' Lily says

'Oh because of her Instagram story about kissing that random girl, I don't know what your guys confessions were and still don't know, I just thought she was having fun like anybody else in college does' Michelle says

'So you do like her as a friend?' Lily asks

'let's just say I'm warming up to her dating you because of your last relationship I don't trust people right away' Michelle says

'Yeah, I understand that, but in the short period of time she treats me a lot better then my last relationship did, I can tell that she's going to be different from the others' Lily says

'Yeah, she doesn't seem like the type to be controlling' Michelle says

'No, she doesn't' Lily says

'Maybe she thinks that I'm keeping my distance because it's something that she thinks that she did, maybe I should have a talk with her and straighten everything out' Michelle says

'I'm not saying that you guys have to be buddies with each other or anything, just be nice towards each other whenever we hang out in our friend group, and I'll tell Hope the same thing' Lily says

'Sounds fair to me' Michelle says, Lily smiles

'That's all that I asked for, and you know that I don't ask you for something like this before' Lily says

'That is true' Michelle says

After they talk they say their goodbyes and just leaves, when it comes to their families about affection towards each other they don't really do that no hugging goodbye none of that stuff

Later on that night Hope is on her bed doing some media stuff on her computer then Lily stands in the doorway

'Need a break?' Lily asks, Hope looks up at her

'Yeah I can take a break' Hope says

She moves her laptop to the side and Lily walks up to her, she sits down in front of her

'So I talk to Michelle in between labs' Lily says

'How did that go?' Hope asks

'Well you can put your mind at ease she doesn't know about our confessions, she did see your Instagram story but she thought that you were just having fun like anybody would at our age, the reason why she's keeping her distance from you, not to be rude towards but to read you see what you do whenever I'm not there' Lily says

'To see if I'm a cheater like your last partner was' Hope says

'She doesn't trust you just yet but she's warming up to you, which in my opinion is a good start because you're starting off on her good side which is really rare to do so rather that's relationships or friendships' Lily says

'I don't think I would want to be on her bad side because she can easily pick me up and throw me into a wall' Hope says

'She has done that once almost killed the guy' Lily says, Hope looks horrified

'Sorry didn't mean to scare you like that' Lily says

'I'm not going to get any sleep tonight' Hope says, she grabs her laptop

'Would it make you feel better if I slept next to you' Lily says, teasing Hope

'If only you can control yourself' Hope says, teasing back

'Wow, ok even playing field' Lily says

'For now we are' Hope says

'Hey look at me for a second please?' Lily asks, Hope looks at her and Lily kisses her on the lips

'Now we are even' Lily says, Hope smiles

Hope goes back to working on her media assignment and Lily does the same thing with her nursing assignment
