Gale had been an acquaintance she knew from freshman year as he had talked to her often after school; he had dated one of her friends, Angela, before, although, at the time, she didn't see much of them hanging out around her group. Now it was junior year, and he was single. The girl and Gael hung out every morning with her friends, then he asked to spend a morning alone with her and even asked her to lunch. She had never gone a day without hanging out with her friends at their table. However, she went with him anyway. A week later and her friends expressed their distaste for the guy without any reason but a simple "don't be his friend anymore" she was confused; she enjoyed his company. However, this decision cost her everything. During the time she was with him, rumors slowly spread about her once again; the words began as her old group, and she felt betrayed. Then denied the claims, and she gave them the benefit of the doubt at first until people came up to her asking about the rumors and stating where they had come from. This was weeks into this already, and she decided to ask her best friend for advice over text. That's when she was hit with being called selfish, and that's where she lost her best friend. After that message, everyone in the group began to message her leaving her until all she was left with was Gael. The girl cried every day and was never the same at school, listening to music and sleeping in class everyday as she had no one to talk to during class. During that time, love blossomed as Gael would defend her and help her when her old group would harass her. He listened every night as she cried over her friends. One day her old friend Destiny came up to the girl in front of her class that they handed together and asked her to pick her friends or Gael. The girl decided that if they were her friend, they would have never asked this question. She picked Gael and Destiny resented her ever since that day. More time went past, and Gael reveals that he has a secret that he does not want her to worry about and that her view about him would change; she assured him that he wouldn't need to tell her because she trusts him. Things happen she said but she was curious, asking a distant friend Joey what it was. He stated that it isn't something for her to know. The girl, curious, asked around and couldn't get any people who hate her to answer. When Gael found out she was close to finding out what it was, he yelled at her and got mad that anyone knew the secret. The secret he revealed was about his ex Angela. Angela had sworn to secrecy, yet everyone around her knew this secret but her. The girl had given up asking since no one would give her the answer as to what happened between them. Time passed with arguing, tears, and rumors. The week leading to Halloween Gael decided to ask the girl to be his girlfriend as to which she agreed because this was the only person she had with her she had no one else but him, and at least he stuck around. A few weeks later, they both sat outside in the dark after school because they were both during theater after school together. Her new friends were the theater kids, but she wasn't close to them at all, but they talked to her at least. Meanwhile, as they were together after school at night, did they share their first kiss? She was stiff and frozen. She wasn't used to affection, and he only pulled her close and kissed her; her eyes widened. She has been avoiding this moment because she was unsure how to go about it. Soon enough, she felt comfortable and kissed him back. They were interrupted by theater kids looking for them. The reason was she was in charge of everything that goes on. Her name was called along with Gael, her second in command. They ran everything together but split the work even if she had more than him. They called out to them because two students had breakdowns. They went to solve them, but who knew betrayal would lead her to love.
