Where We Go at Night

Chapter 4

Ashley's POV

Me and Geena ran into the nearest bathroom. It didn't matter if we are late for class, friends come first. I hear crying from the last stall. Geena opened it, and we saw Reina sitting on the back part of the toilet. Her eyes were red and puffy and she was hitting her head against her palms.

"Reina what's wrong?" I asked, holding out a tissue to her.

I could hear mumbling from underneath her hands.

"Sweetie, take your hands away from your mouth. We can't understand you." Geena said, pulling Reina's hair hair out of her face.

"I don't know, I just... uggghhh."

She said, and her head back in her hands. "I guess... I just wasn't ready, I mean, I expected my first kiss to be perfect. Not in a closet."

I smiled "Well did you want your first kiss to be with Reese?" I asked Ashley.

"Umm, well, yeah. Yeah I did." Reina whispered. "Well then it doesn't matter where you are, if you're with the right person, it will always be perfect." I told her.

Reina's POV

"I should've let him kiss me. Ughhh." I said as I got up and walked over to the sink and splashed my face with water. Ashley and Geena came over and patted my back. "It's going to be ok." Ashley said reassuringly.

"Er, Ashley? Reese said you were probably in here." I heard Eddie Roccel, Ashley's boyfriend say from outside the door.

"Umm..." Ashley said looking at me for permission, making sure I was ok with her going.

"You can go." I whispered to her and smiled. She waved goodbye and headed outside.

Reese's POV

I heard some people walk in the door. It was Geena and Reina. Her eyes still looked a little bit red and puffy. I had made the biggest mistake in my life. It was way to early to kiss her, I knew she wasn't ready. What was I thinking?

"You're late. You have a pass, I assume." said Mrs. Hilbung strictly.

"No, we do not." said Geena, and sat right down and Reina sat next to her, with a worried look on her face.

"Detention." Hilbung said and went over to her desk to write a slip. I felt so sorry for them. I know from expirience that detention with her was horrible. I stood up.

"Mrs. Hilbung, it... it was my fault that she is late. I accidently bumped into them at lunch and they dropped all their food so they had to stay late and clean it up." I told her.

"Mr. Manth! How dare you speak without raising your hand!" Mrs. Hilburg shireiked as she got out another detention slip. "Detention for you as well!"

Oh, shit.
