Pink POV
I lit a cigarette as Don got in the driver's seat, and his eyes were wide open.
"What's up with you, man?"
"It's Benny," he said, starting the car, "He told me something. Something bad."
As we pulled out of the driveway, it was silent.
"Are you going to tell me? Or am I just going to have to guess until I get it right?" I said, exhaling.
Don made a right turn and sighed, "Benny, he's in love with someone else. I think he might be cheating on Cammy too."
"Benny's what?" I jerked my body upwards and looked at Don, "Did he say who?"
"No, I wasn't able to get that out of him," Don said, "But this is bad. Really bad."
"Yea, tell me about it."

I woke up the next morning, and Don slept over since my parents weren't home, and he was too exhausted to drive more.
I hopped in the shower, and as I washed my hair, it hit me. It hit me who Benny might've been talking about.
"Don! Don, man! I figured it out!" I ran into my bedroom with a towel around my waist, shaking him awake.
"The fuck?" He said, irritated while rubbing his eyes, "What do you want?"
"It's Jodi! Benny's in love with Jodi!"
Don gave me a doubtful look.
"Think about it, man!" I said, "Remember when Jodi threw up in the hot tub, and she started apologizing to Cammy? I mean, she said she was sorry for ruining everything, but what if she wasn't talking about the party?"
Don put his hands on his head as he got on the same page as me.
"Oh my god! Oh my god!" He said, "I mean, Jesus, you really think Jodi would do that? Cammy's her best friend."
"I don't know man," I said.
"We have to tell Cammy!"
"No!" I almost yelled, "Are you nuts? We have no solid proof, and if we're wrong, we're gonna look like assholes."
I didn't know what to think. I was pissed at Cammy for not telling me about Simone, but now, knowing that this might be happening with Benny and Jodi, I started to understand more why she didn't tell me.
