CLEO POV.

The best part about being absolutely terrorized in an assault case...while in juvenile detention is that the staff does pity you. They're not as heartless as you'd think. And I took full advantage of that. Billie and I had off class for the entire week minimum to make sure I healed properly. Staff moved us into a protected area because Zendaya was such a threat to my safety. We were basically in our own apartment now.

It was strange that Billie was basically my roommate by choice, and I barely knew her. Neither of us talked about our pasts much. I didn't even know why she was in here, she could have murdered someone. I would still have like her.

"Let's play 20 questions," Billie suggested in real time. I snapped out of my thoughts and nodded in agreement.

"You first," I replied.

"Why are you here?" Billie asked lowly. It's like she could read my thoughts and judging by the look on her face she thought I was the murderer.

"Stealing, you?" I responded.

Okay...so robbing a bank with a well known gang might be considered more than petty theft. But I wasn't lying...technically right? Right.

Billie laughed,

"You should have heard the shit people were saying you did when you first came, had me thinking you had done a lot more than pick up some freebies at Walmart," I provided a fake laugh but I felt a little bit guilty that she didn't know the full extent. I will tell her one day, just not today.

"Well I didn't murder, yet! Now you? Why are you here?" I asked.

"Drugs and assault mostly, but I've been in and out," she shrugged, "boring shit."

Okay but her being a drug dealer kind of made her hotter. Is that fucked up?

"Well I know you wouldn't hurt me, so I don't give a fuck who you assaulted," I put my hand on her knee and giggled, she put her hand over mine and held eye contact.

"I would never hurt you Cleo."

This suddenly seemed more of a romantic relationship than a friendship and I was starting to get nervous. Billie kept her hand on mine but didn't attempt to make any further moves. In an attempt to change the subject
I tried to continue the game,

"Okay..you ask! Your turn!"

"Have you ever been with a girl before?"

I looked down, because technically I had been with Zendaya. I know that wasn't what she meant and to be honest, I had limited experience with women. I hadn't even thought about switching with one until now. Anytime I had been with one it was simply for my gratification. I had boyfriends in the past and had toyed with the possibility that I'm asexual because I was not really sexually attracted to them. Who thinks penis is pretty anyway? I mean I laid there and took it, but I wasn't much of an active participant in sex.

"She doesn't count C," Billie interrupted my thoughts, "Zendaya. Fuck that bitch. Only consensual bodies count in my book."

"Then no...not really."

Billie nodded slowly and took her hand off of my hand. I felt empty and I didn't like it. Did I like her more than a friend?

I reached for her hand back,

"But that's doesn't mean I don't want to try it."
