Sam, Livia and Emily made their way to History while Ruby, Darcey and Georgia walked towards HE.

"Ruby!" Georgia said to the girl as soon as they were a far enough distance from anyone else "What do we tell Sam?"

"I don't know" the girl sighed "But she can't find out what happened"

Darcey looked at the two girls "Why? What happened?"

"We'll tell you as long as you don't tell anyone" Georgia said to her.

Darcey nodded "I promise"

Ruby stopped the girl "So did my mum and dad"

Darcey took a breath "I swear, I won't tell anyone"

"Deal" Ruby smiled "We... Uh... You tell her"

Georgia looked at Darcey "Ruby and I dated after she and Michael broke up. The rest is..."

"Michael was my first kiss and he was cheating on both of us" Ruby indicated to the short girl and herself "Obviously, with eachother"

"No way..." Darcey looked shocked.

"Even Livia and Emily don't know that part" she finished "All they know is we dated after I broke up with Michael and... Uh, we... only broke up about a week into her relationship with Sam"

"To be fair, it wasn't her fault" Georgia told a shocked Darcey "I agreed with Sam to keep it between us two for a while so Ruby wouldn't know but she told her anyway..."

"We don't want Sam to know because she'd kill Michael, Georgia and probably me too" Ruby told Darcey.

"So" Darcey looked confused "Georgia, you cheated on Sam? And Ruby?"

Georgia nodded, slowly "I felt so bad but Ruby and I agreed we were more or less done with our relationship anyway. It was only really a fling, I guess"

"Don't say that" Ruby said in a Russian accent "It meant more than that to me" her eyes started to tear up, making the girls very confused "Nah I'm joking" she stopped the Russian accent "Yelina. Black Widow. Amazing movie."

Darcey shook her head "You should tell Sam. I'm sure she'd understand"

Georgia laughed "I'm sorry, have you met her? She bites Ruby's head off for basically living"

"Yeah but she loves you..."

Georgia stopped in her tracks "No, no she doesn't"

"She... Uh... She did tell us..." Ruby pointed out as Darcey nodded "When we were watching Eternals, I indicated to how much Druig and Makkari loved eachother and she said she loved you that much"

Georgia smiled "And Druig and Makkari love eachother a lot..."

Meanwhile

Nicholas, Adam and Luke walked towards PE as they saw Joel walking that way too.

"I'm gonna say something to him" Nicholas pointed out.

"Don't" Adam stopped the boy "He likes Darcey... It's fine, right Luke?" He turned around to see his other friend who had disappeared "Oh no-"

Nicholas laughed "Go Luke!"

"Yo Joel!" The boy walked up to him "What about Adam?"

"What about him?" Joel looked at the boy confused, even though he knew what he was talking about.

"Come on, man..." Luke sighed "Why're you leading Darcey on like that..?"

"Because I genuinely like her" Joel said.

"Then why'd you kiss Adam?"

Joel looked like he was going to say something but closed his mouth before opening it again "I- well- we were... I don't... If you..."

"Joel" Adam ran over "Don't answer his questions, it's fine. Let's go, Luke"

"No" Nicholas turned to Joel "Answer the question"

"It was just in the moment... I didn't even enjoy it, it's fine"

Adam looked shocked and the hurt in his eyes was obvious before he quickly nodded "Yeah, no I totally agree. I hated it. Never again"

Nicholas took a deep breath out "Fine, ya know? Whatever" before the four of them walked into the PE department, silently.

End of the day

"Where are you walking to?" Ruby asked Emily, yet again, even though she has walked up with Darcey for the past six years and only walked down with her a total of one time. "Nevermind"

"Bye" Darcey laughed as she and Emily made their way up the hill to walk home.

Livia, Sam, Ruby and Georgia walked down the hill and were split into two. Sam and Ruby talking about the Marvel movie coming out next week. (They're releasing things like there's no tomorrow. Spiderman Homeless came out only two weeks ago, although none of them had seen it yet apart from Darcey who saw it with her boyfriend, but they were planning to go together this Saturday with Lewis, Charlie, Druig, Georgia, Joel and Carly's on/off relationship if they were on by the weekend... 50% chance...) while Georgia and Livia were talking about the Spanish lesson test they had final two periods.

Ruby felt a vibration in her pocket of a message being sent through to her phone, she paused the conversation with Sam to check it. Her mum had messaged her a short 'Is Livia coming home? Dinner for ten if she is!!'

"For ten?" Ruby mumbled to herself.

Sam looked at the girl "What?"

"Livia, apparently there's eight other people at the house..."

"That's weird. Normally it's just us two getting a chippy or something. I actually brought money this week"

'Who?' Ruby messaged her mum back, getting a slightly delayed response as she had to type out all the names.

'Me, Jack, you, Livia, Oscar, Hayley, Rachel, Eve, Grace and Phil 😆 party!! 🥳'

The girl showed Livia the list "Get ready"

Livia sighed a huge sigh "Even I can't deal with them"
