Before I Forget

No Secrets

As Sam started the car and began to drive, Sky let out a sigh and took a comfortable position in her seat, dropping her backpack to the floor between her feet.

It had been one long day, and she was exhausted. The sexcapade in the closet had been amazing, but also draining and Sky didn't want anything as much as she wanted a shower and a nap. But no such luck. First, she needed to do homework, and then she had promised to go to Demetri's - to help finish the science project. The due date was tomorrow, and Demetri wanted to use all the time they had, to make the thing as perfect as possible.

And perfect it was. All the 8000+ individual Lego pieces had found their places. The volcano released smoke, the dinosaurs roared and every single detail was flawless. Sky had had an insane amount of fun building the thing with Demetri - and Yasmine, who had against all odds, joined a couple of nights. Though Yasmine's contribution had barely been more than just to glare at them down her pretty nose, her mere presence had made Demetri so happy that it had been worth it.

Sky had enjoyed working on the project, but she couldn't deny that she was also relieved that it was almost over now. It had taken an insane amount of time - time she could now spend with her boyfriend.

Her secret boyfriend.

Sky glanced at Sam by her side and felt a pang of guilt in her heart.

"Thanks for giving me a ride. Dad's busy today and couldn't come to pick me up," she said to make conversation. Sam seemed uncharacteristically quiet today, which made Sky somewhat worried.

Sam glanced at her, keeping her hands steady on the steering wheel. "So, you're still not allowed to drive?"

"No," Sky sighed. "Not until the cast comes off. And it's still a couple of weeks 'till that."

"Well, I don't mind driving you home," Sam replied with a small smile. "You know I'm happy to help."

"That's because you're an awesome friend."

"I don't know about that." Sam frowned. "But now that we're not with Moon and Yasmine, do you want to tell me what really happened at lunch break? Cause I can tell you were lying."

Her words hit Sky like a wrecking ball, even if she had been expecting something like this. She was nowhere remotely near to be having this conversation, and her first instinct was to leave - but they were in a moving car, and it wasn't like she could just hop off. Well, she could, technically, but she really didn't want any more broken limbs.

She glanced at Sam, who was still driving the car, her eyes on the road. Damn that girl - she had probably offered to give her a ride just to ambush her with this question in a place where she couldn't get away.

Sky made a face. "I... I'd rather not talk about it."

"Why not?"

"It's just that..."

"You can tell me," Sam said sternly. "Whatever it is, you can tell me."

"You're not gonna like it." Sky grimaced. An understatement of the year. She knew Sam would lose her shit when she found out about her and Hawk.

"Are you back together with Hawk?" Sam asked, and Sky's jaw dropped. For once in her life she was utterly at loss for words.

"How... how did you know?"

Sam glanced at her briefly and pulled a strand of her brown hair behind her ear. "Well I knew you had someone. You're not very good at covering the hickeys, you know. And since you were being so secretive about it, I figured it must be someone I don't approve of." A short silence. "So? Is that it? You're back together with Hawk and you were making out with him somewhere during lunch break?"
