"gareth, maybe you should just tell him the truth, i mean," you began as he shook his head. you stared up at him, wondering why he wasn't going to tell. he never even gave you a specific reason. "you know how he is and if you don't tell him, it'll just get so much worse." 

"i can't tell him something that's this huge, ________. you're his girlfriend, do you even understand how bad of a position i've been put in?"

"i remember correctly, gareth, you were the one who kissed me, i didn't kiss you. i was eddie's girlfriend before you kissed me and i'm still his girlfriend now," you explained. "gareth, i didn't tell him yet because i thought you would be mature enough to do so, but i will tell him today if you don't." 

gareth sighed, running his fingers through his hair as you looked away from him and towards robin who was getting out of steve's car. you were trying to get her eyes to meet yours and they eventually did. you nodded towards the entrance of the gym and she nodded in response, heading inside with the rest of the band members. 

"_______, please don't tell him, it was an accident," gareth tried to persuade you as you looked back at him in disbelief. 

"oh, so, you just happened to trip over your damn drumstick and your lips met mine? gareth, i'm serious. you tell him or i will today," you told him, walking past him and into the school as gareth sighed, leaning his back against the wall and hitting his head on the brick. 

"what the hell happened to you?" dustin asked as he was walking towards the entrance of the school. gareth sat up and looked at him, his face saying more than his words could. "what did you do?" 

"nothing," he replied as dustin raised his eyebrows. "i just kissed _______ yesterday, that's all."

"you did what!" dustin asked shocked, gareth getting off the wall as he shushed him loudly, some people watching the ordeal as they passed by before continuing on. "you kissed _______? as in eddie's girlfriend _________?" 

he nodded. 

"i didn't mean to," he said. "but she came over yesterday night to get something that eddie had left and we were talking about school and stuff, normal things. but then, i don't know what happened, but she just looked so pretty and i almost couldn't help myself." 

"gareth, you're such an idiot. do you know how badly eddie will react to this? have you told him?" 

he slowly shook his head.

"no, but if i don't tell him today, ________ is going to," gareth responded as dustin laughed a little, looking off to the side before responding to gareth once more. 

"why didn't you tell him right after it happened?" dustin asked. "i mean, it probably wouldn't have had time to fester between the two of you." 

"because, dustin, i kissed one of my best friend's girlfriend," he said, somewhat confused as to why dustin wasn't understanding. "can't you understand that?" 

"hey, look, i'm just trying to help, okay? you need to be the one to tell him, okay?" 

"why me? wouldn't it make more sense for her to do it?" gareth asked as dustin looked at him in shock. 

"if you want to wait for _______ to tell him, be my guest. but it won't end well, and since i'm assuming she didn't kiss you back, her recount of everything will be slightly different from what yours might be," dustin said as the bell rang, calling the two of them inside.

the end of the day was nearing and you were standing at your locker, sorting through some notebooks and textbooks that you were debating on bringing home. dustin walked up to you, calling out your name as he walked up to you.
