The next week flies, I sit in my English class, my new English class...My new English teacher is Miss Murray, she is at least fifty, not that it matters.

The door opens which causes Miss Murray to close her mouth for once. She sets down her marker as Malyn steps into the room. I drop my head, groaning quietly. She's here for me.

"Hi, I was wondering if I could speak with Diana?" Malyn questions and I huff, lifting my head and packing away my stuff.

"Yes, that's fine. I'll email you the homework." Miss Murray says and I roll my eyes to myself as I pack up my bag. I rest the strap of my bag onto my shoulder before quickly leaving the classroom.

"Hi, Diana, how have you been?" She smiles and I fix my bag. I'm guessing she knows about me and Natalie, well, the rumours and stuff. This is probably the reason she wants to talk.

"Fine, how have you been?" I ask, looking at the floor as we walk to her office. My shoe lace is untied. It's fine, I'll tie it later. I'll probably end up tripping either way.

"I've been good, thank you for asking. We haven't spoken in a while, your exams are this week correct?"

"Yeah, they start tomorrow."

"Christmas is close. Are you excited?"

"No." I simply say as she opens the door stepping inside, I walk in and walk over to the comfy chair, sitting down. She closes the door before walking around her desk sitting down. I set my bag down beside my chair after I take out my water.

"Why not?"

"I haven't bought presents yet, it's not two weeks away. I kind of forgot about Christmas honestly."

"Do you not like Christmas?"

"No. Growing up, yeah, of course. But you know when things go downhill, it gets bad, the arguing between my parents every night. Then Christmas—or even birthdays, everything seemed perfect. It was and still is uncomfortable."

"You're being very open today."

"I know. But yeah, just Christmas. I'm not a big fan of it."

"Do you prefer halloween?"

"Yeah, definitely. I actually really like Halloween, I do get terrified watching horror movies but I guess I somewhat like them." I shrug. She looks at me for a second before straightening up.

"I want to talk to you about something, something which won't be brought up with Mrs Daniels at all." She tells me and I wipe my hands off my jeans. Okay, prepare yourself, Diana.

"Okay."

"You and Miss Snow." She puts her notepad and pen onto her desk, she closes her laptop and I tap my finger off of my leg, resisting the urge to bite my cheek.

"There's nothing-"

"I was out of town not so long ago for a friend's birthday." Malyn cuts me off and I furrow my eyebrows, tilting my head a little as I look at her.

"Okay? Am I supposed—"

"The same night the two of you were out of town apparently." She adjusts herself in her chair, sitting up more and I look away from her quickly. Shit. Shit shit shit shit.

"We're friends."

"Friends who kiss?"

"Some people kiss their friends."

"You don't seem like the type to."

"Why not?"

"You Just don't." Malyn hums, I look back to her, trying to breathe properly but this might kill me. I need Natalie to come and fix this—I can't fix this.
