What's Wrong With Me?

Secrets

"Don't tell her. Please." I hear Matt's voice whispering to someone.

"Why not? Give me two good reasons." A female voice whispers back. It sounds like the slut, Alyssa Taylor.

"Because I didn't mean to. I... I don't know. I just... please, she'll be pissed." Whatever it is, I'm sure I will, Matthew. I think to myself.

"I'll give you until the end of tomorrow; if you don't give us something, we're telling." I wonder who 'we' are.

I hear footsteps coming from down the hall and quickly walk away to my locker. I lean against it and slowly slide down it, thinking about what Matt could possibly have done. He wouldn't have slept with her, he's still a virgin. I never thought he would do anything to hurt me. And Alyssa's threat: you better give us something, or we're telling. What could she and whoever she's with want from MY boyfriend? I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.

I look at my phone and see that it's already 7:30. Crap, I'm gonna be late for Bio. I rush into class and it goes by quickly. The only bad thing about that is that next I have Literature with Matthew... I don't know what to do. Should I pretend I didn't hear him? Should I confront him? I'll pretend I didn't hear. I'm gonna figure this out before I talk to him. I talk to Matt a little during Lit but not much. He seems worried and with what I heard, I don't blame him.

When I get to my locker after Lit, I see Liz waiting for me. I put my stuff away and grab my bag to change for PE while we make small talk. We're silent as we walk to the locker rooms. We quickly change and head out to the field, where we run our customary two laps before class actually starts. Along the way, Liz realize there's something wrong.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" She asks.

"No, well, I don't know, yeah, maybe, I guess." I ramble, honestly not sure.

"Tell me what happened."

"Well I was walking over to Matt's locker to see him this morning and I overheard him talking to someone. It sounded alot like Alyssa, the damn slut. Matthew was telling her not to tell me something and she said only if you give us something. And Alyssa said 'we' so there's someone else. I need to find this out." I rant to her.

"Okay, well that's not good. We're gonna find this out. And when we do, I promise I will bring you jars upon jars of Nutella."

"Yes, I love you Liz! But I really hope it's not that bad."

"Me too, but who knows, it might be." Liz and I talk for the rest of PE. We walk together to lunch, but we stop in one of the hallways when we hear Alyssa's voice saying Matthew. We go behind the corner and listen.

"Matt told me she'll be pissed." Alyssa's voice says.

"Isn't that what we want?" Another female voice says.

"Exactly, Joselyn. That's why we're telling her."
