Nini's pov

The next day I didn't want to go to school at all. I didn't want to see Brett and remind myself that I was lying to him. I didn't want to see Ricky and remind myself that our breakup was entirely my fault. And I certainly didn't want to see all the people around me gossiping about me and Brett. 

..but I had to.

I was standing in front of a large building, which I was very afraid to enter. It's not much because I don't want to talk to Brett because I'm going to have to see him today anyway, since he's coming to my house later today to continue working on our project. 

...Well I had no choice but to go inside if I didn't want to be late for the first class. As I walked slowly down the hall, I saw the heads of my classmates turning toward me. Their eyes looked at me as if seeing me for the first time. I just stared blankly at those people who were whispering something. 

I slowly got to my locker. I opened it and tried to ignore the fact that everyone around me was talking about me and pointing fingers at me. 

"Hi Nini." suddenly I heard nice voice of a girl named Lexi. She is very kind and I dare say that we are also quite good friends. Behind her stood two more girls with whom I probably had a few classes as I recognized their faces. 

"Hey." I smiled at her and waited for her to continue, but not one of them said anything. "Uh- do you need anything?"

"We just wanted to tell you that we're really sorry about what happened to you."

I was a little taken aback as I didn't understand what they were talking about. I mean, a lot of things have happened to me lately that I would have preferred if they hadn't. 

"Okay?"

"It's awful.." blonde girl in the back told me. "I don't understand how he could have done this to you... or she."

I am lost.

"I'm sorry, but what are we talking about here?" I asked, hoping to finally find out what was going on here.

"Um about why you broke up with EJ?" Lexi began to explain to me. "And what he and Gina did to you."

I was shocked. I did not expect such an answer. "Uh, can- can you be a little more specific?"

"How EJ cheated on you with your best friend." one of the girls simply replied.  

"How- how do you know about that?"

Is there any chance Brett told anyone? 

I mean.. because none of our friend group would tell anyone, and the only one who knows about it except us is Brett. 

I can't believe I trusted him when he promised not to say a word to anyone.  

"Everyone is talking about it, it was written on the school blog." they told me.

The actual worst nightmare has become a reality. "Um, okay, well.. thank you." I somehow managed to create a fake smile on my face. Then I turned and walked away. 

When I came to the girls' bathroom the first thing I did was look at my cell phone right away... to be more specific, I looked at the school blog and hoped there wouldn't be what I thought it would be. 

But my hopes left me quickly. 

I was right. There were all of our secrets written on school blog. Not just EJ and Gina but all of us. 

Well, except for one. 

I read what was written there but for some reason I couldn't find my secret which I found a little strange.
