It's not always Black and White

"Fuck off."

Bea's POV

Back at school, it's a great day. Sun is shining, birds are tweeting.

Boyfriend's still in love with me. I'm fucking my friends boyfriend.

Maybe it isn't a great day. All I know is that I'm about to make it a good one.

Grace and Steph walk up to me in the hallway, "Hey guys,"

"Hey, Oh my god. Sorry guys got to go, I just realised I need to meet Theo at the cafe."

So original. Meet him at the cafe? In the empty classrom?

"Hey Bea, can we talk for a bit?"

Fuck, she knows. Does she?

"Yeah, sure. What's up?"

"Ryan's been talking to me,"

Sorry, what?

"And, he told me that he thinks Josh likes you"

I'm going to kill Ryan.

"No, I don't think he does. We are just good friends, he really likes you Steph."

Fuck, why did I say that?

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Anyways I was thinking the four of us could have a chat after school?"

Fuck, why would she say that?

"Umm, yeah sure. As long as Ryan is there, I will be there."

"Sounds good."

"Actually Steph, why don't you come to mine after school. I have a free house, so we can have the chat at mine.

"Oh-okay."

I'm fucked. Josh is fucked. We're fucked.

I have fucking Chemistry next. With him.

"Hey Bea,"

"Josh, what the hell."

"What?" He hugs me from behind, "What's wrong?"

"You can't whisper in my ear, all seductively. Not in school."

"Alright," He steps back, "Someone's in a mood."

"I'm not in a mood. I'm mad."

"About?"

"About us. The weekend. Your bedroom."

"Ahh I see, you want more."

"Josh," I nudge him, "I'm being serious. They know."

"Who is 'they'?"

"Ryan told Steph that he thinks you like me. And that also makes me wonder, what the hell did you say to him yesterday?"

"Nothing-"

"Josh. He was mad in the car, he didn't speak, didn't kiss me at the door. He didn't even say 'I love you'"

"Aww someone's upset because their boyfriend is catching on to her dirty little secret."

"Josh, they want to talk to us after school."

"Oh shit."

"Yeah-"

"Class you can come in now."

Another lesson with Mr Anwar. Here we go.

"Hey Bea,"

"Hey Grace, how's it going?"

"Well, you know me. I'm consumed with Theo now."
