"You've got until 2 P.M to explore! So take those stairs at your own pace" Mr. Ajayi smile at us, and Mr. Farouk whispered something to Mr. Ajayi. I looked at him confused, and just shrugged.

We were all running up the stairs, and Nicholas grabbed my hand. He looked at me behind him, and yelled to me. "Come on!!" I rolled my eyes, and yelled back. 

"Nicholas!! I'm dying!!" I huffed. I like running, but not that much. 

"Carry meeeeEEee!" Darcy asked Tara in a funny voice. "No" Tara said very quickly.

"We made it!!" Elle smiled brightly. "I need to lie down.." Tao huffed. 

"Woahh..." Nicholas and I said at the same time. We stood on a fence, and we took a picture together. 

"Hey Nick, was that love bite from you, then?" Some dude asked, and everyone around him started laughing. I looked down, and moved away from Nicholas. "Who are they?" I whispered.

"Just some guys from my year" Nicholas whispered to me. 

"Oh yeah? So what if it is?" Nicholas said to the boys. My eyes went wide, and my face went pink. He looked at them and asked. "You jealous?" My face went redder. 

They all went silent, but one whispered. "I'm not gay" My face went red, and my mind started to race. 

"All right lads, fucking leave them alone" My eyes went wide, and I turned to the voice. It was Greene. 

"What? It's just a fucking joke!" One guy said. "Yeah, chill out, mate" Another one said. Greene looked at Nicholas, and then turned back to the boys. 

"Sounds like you're covering it up that it's you!" Greene said to the group. "What!? I'm not gay!" Some guy yelled. 

"Did Harry just try and stick up for us?" Nicholas asked me. "I think he did" I whispered. We turned to each other, and we both said at the same time. 

"Weird" We walked back to the fence, and Nicholas said randomly. 

"I was thinking about it and... I don't think I'd mind if people found out it was me" My cheeks went warm, and I looked down at the ground. "Really?" I asked him confused. 

"Yeah" He smiled at me. "I honestly think it'd be a relief to just.. be out" He added. 

I looked down and I said. "I was talking to Tara about it yesterday. She told me how she and Darcy came out and it made me feel like.." I thought for a moment. "Even if things are harder when people know about us, we'll be okay, because we've got each other" 

I pushed my shoulder onto his, and he brightly smiled at me. His face was pink. He wrapped his arm around my neck, and pulled me into a hug. 

"That is literally the soppiest thing you've ever said" I laughed, and shook my head trying to get out of his grasp. "Oh God, it is!!" 

"Copper!! Get over here, I need a photo of me, you, and Aled!" Tao called for me. Nicholas and I turned to my friend. I patted Nicholas shoulder. "I'll be back in a second" Nicholas laughed. 

"Okay" I walked to Tao. "I need to get a photo of us three because we always forget" Tao said. I glared at him. I wrapped my arm around Tao's shoulder, and we walked to Aled.

Copper walked off with Tao, and I looked down at my phone. I missed a call from my dad, I clicked his number and I listened to the ring. "The person you are calling is unavailable. Please leave a message after--" I hung up.

Elle was taking our photo. "Ready?" She asked us. One of my arms was wrapped around Tao, while the other was a peace sign. Aled smiled with his eyes closed and Tao smiled brightly.
