(Ep. 6: The Spy)
1980
Leaning back against the brick wall, Gwen waited with her Spanish textbook in hand for what seemed to be forever. It was unusual for Steve to be this late to their tutoring session. From always being on time or being the first one here, thirty minutes late was extremely out of place.
Worried something happened, she hurried inside to look for him. Maybe he forgot or got held up. A million reasons filled her mind, but none of them came close to the sight in front.
Steve was surrounded by Tommy and Carol. He was pressed up against his locker while Tommy appeared to be teasing him about something. Steve tried walking past them, but Carol blocked his every attempt.
"Come on, I gotta go now," he told them.
Placing his arm around Steve to prevent his escape, Tommy smiled and confronted him, "You've been spending an awful lot of time with that Henderson chic. Are you two an item now?"
"Have you fucked her yet?"
Gwen held herself back and just hid to listen to his response. She trusted Steve to tell the truth and let them know nothing was happening between them. It's just two friends studying together. They might hold hands when he walks her home, but that's it. There's been nothing more than that.
He laughed, "She's helping me with Spanish. You know I need to pass that class if I want to stay on the basketball team."
His friends weren't satisfied. They were determined to get the dirty scoop regardless if there was anything or not.
"If that's just it, then why did we see you sharing a milkshake with her? You seemed very comfortable with someone who's just your tutor," Carol used air quotes around the word 'tutor' as she waited for him to confess.
Now even more curious on what his response would be, Gwen waited for him to tell the truth. She found herself craning her neck even more, but soon became broken when hearing his next words.
"Seriously, guys? I would never dream of dating or fucking Gwen Henderson," Steve boastfully tugged at the collar of his shirt as he started laughing. "Just look at her and look at me. I'd never get involved with someone with lots of issues."
"Her dad dying really did a number on her," Carol joked.
Steve nodded, "You got that right. She thinks we have a chance at becoming more, but only in her dreams would that happen. Once I pass the class, I'll just turn it off, and goodbye, Henderson."
Their laughter felt agonizing against her ears. His betrayal burned her from the inside out as she realized that everything had been a lie. Their supposed friendship and trust for one another wasn't real. None of it was.
