"The guy who got you into this!" She gasps. "Why?"
"It was a mistake i was high and.." i trailed off.
"Me too.. i tried explain to peri.." she looks like she wanted to cry again. "She hates me i don't know what to do".
"She will come around" i hugged her. "And anyway when did anything stop you?"
She smiles a little.
"You're good with advice i wish we still weren't doing this maybe we would have been friends" she sighs.
"This didn't make us friends you know that" i said.
"Anyway you and jordan" she looks at me.
"Yeah what you know he let it happen the man who seems likely to do anyone" i rolled my eyes
"And sids cousin,  i don't see why it is bothering you it's not like you like anyone" she says and sees my  look. "Who is it?"
"Well i.. look he won't be interested maybe doing it with jordan wasn't so bad he seems only obsessed with one girl" i shrugged.
"Come on then who?" She demands. 
"And she's back" i smiled. "Ok fine it's sid".
"It all makes sense now" she nods. "I saw how close you both where that night".
"Really?" I said. "Because from where i am looking he's not interested.
"Well he knows what i like" she said."You should tell him."
"No" i gasped.
"Yes! You may have slept with his cousin but doesn't mean it's all over" she sighs. "You got nothing to lose".
"And neither do you" i tell her. "Like i said you will get peri back"
We hugged. Juliet may be tough but she really has an emotional side and i have her back.

The next morning i wake up to my phone buzzing from both jordan and also juliet. I call her back as i am heading into sixth form due to my late start.
"What where you doing?" Juliet demands when i was sleeping.
"If it about a deal i am on it" i low my voice. "I will sort it later.
"It's not that, just.. sid's in hospital" she says.
"He's what!" I said a little too loud. "What happened?"
"He got high too and well i think it's serious" she answered. "I am going to see him later".
"Keep me updated" i tell her and hang up after talking more and go into school.
All day i couldn't stop thinking of yesterday. Even today i didn't feel good, to make it worse was i felt guilty of sid. Where was he? what happened to him? The hours were ticking by and even the teachers notice my distractions today.
"Is everything ok lottie?" Courtney ask.
"Yes all fine" i said.
"Just you haven't seemed to get much work down" she tells me and i look at my page. "So is something going on".
"No.. well" i take a deep breath. "It's sid".
"I know what's happening" she nods. "It makes sense from the distractions."
"I will make sure it won't happen again and i go over todays work" i promised.
"I know you will have a good day and try your best" she nods. "Your a good student i am just looking out for you".
I smile and walk out. If only she knew. I am not all perfect anymore. In some way i feel everything has turned darker than when i came here.

Later i go to see Sid, by the looks of things he looks really upset. This meaning, it's bad. Juliet said he wasn't too great and i could tell.
"Hey" i said and walked in taking off the mask.
He nods.
"I heard your not doing well" i tell him.
"And jules told the whole school yeah?" He snapped. "Told everyone that my life is with an injury?"
"No.. that's.." i tear up. "Sounds awful and shouldn't have happened."
"Well it did! Ok" he shouted. "So i have to decide to get it removed or not mean i won't be the same again and even the whole village now will know!"
"It will be hard for you but you should do what they say" i say. "Anyway only just me, i am your friend no? I was worried all day for you i been waiting to see you to make sure, i understood you will be struggling just do what's best and i will leave you to it".
Ste looks over to him.
"Wait, i am sorry.. i know i have been upset all day now and i said it will happen jules convinced me it's just nerves and i am scared" he sighs.
"If it will help you go along, both of us will be waiting for you" i tell him.

After we talk more i leave to go home and this time it's not all quiet.
"Aunt di is with edward now" scott tells me.
"Him i don't like him at all" i sighed. "I know fin wasn't a nice guy but does no one think he could have been right?"
"All i see is if it makes her happy then we just have to let it happen" he said. "After all.. mitchelle.."
"I don't see him around often is he ok?" I asked.
"He left" he sighed.
"Just like that!" I gasped.
"Yeah anyway what about you i need something to take my mind of all this" he says.
"Well.. yes but it's complicated" i tell him.
"You know you can tell me" he says.
If only i could, he would look at me in disgust and say how could i do it. However maybe i can tell him.
"I like this guy, Sid but me and his cousin.. and i did it out of anger and.." i trail off altering the story. "I did it because it's not like he will ever notice me".
"Ok what, you know your underage first of all" he frowns. "But you have to tell him you like him".
"But he is obsessed with Juliet but she likes peri and i guess i feel friendzoned" i shrugged.
"Give it time maybe he still isn't over her yet" he tries.
"I suppose well thanks scott i will sort it" i smiled.
"I know you will" he smiled too. "I was wondering what happened to you".
We chat some more and i almost feel like normal as if everything was just how it was before. I was glad to have something to relax my mind.
