Flori pov:
Everything was pretty chill now. Besides me dating eva it was fine. Maybe too fine.

It was just another day at school, trying not to brutally murder eva in front of everyone. 
She kept asking if I could hang out with her after school but i had already made plans with calin. I could see she was feeling extremely jealous.

The bell ring and after 6 cruel hours we were finally free. I quickly pack my stuff and wait for calin, then we hurried outside so eva won't follow me.
We decided we should hang out in the park. Eva and the sluts wouldn't come here.
We picked a more empty alley and sat on a bench.
Calin took my hand in his, and we smiled at each other. It felt so good to be with him, to be able to hold his hand and be ourselves.
We talked for a while then we leaned in closer to each other. I could feel my heart beating faster as our faces got closer and closer.
Just as we were about to kiss, I heard the sound of a photo being taken and a few sobs. I turn around and try to see who took the photo. Eva. It was eva. I didn't really see her but i recognized her phone and top.
-fuck shit fuck, who was it? calin asks panicked.
-Um i don't know.. i say, still in shock. 
If i tell calin it was eva he will go on and on about how dating her it was a terrible idea.
-And now what??
A few minutes pass by, thinking about who they could be and what to do about it. Then my phone starts to buzz nonstop.
-Fuck. Nonononono.
-What? What happened, calin says getting closer to me to look in my phone.
The photo of us about to kiss was posted on ig by someone called "floriandcalin_exposed1"
Calin didn't even say something. He was just staring. I couldn't stand looking at him. He looked like he saw someone getting murdered. 
The notifications i  got were from friends and classmates who kept asking if we are together, making fun of us, death-threatening us and just making rude comments.
-okay well, maybe-
-Okay? well? maybe? There isn't anything okay well and maybe here. You should have gone out with eva, not me. Look what happened.
I know he didn't really mean it and was from the panic but guilt started washing over me
-Listen calin, it's going to be alright.
-I need a break. I need to think, he says getting up and picking up his bag.
He throws it on his shoulder and sights.
-We'll think about something. But for no I need to rest. Bye.
He doesn't even look at me. He just leaves. I could see his eyes start filling with tears.
I open back my phone and try to reply to as many texts as i could with an "it's out of context, I'm dating eva, not calin, idk whats going on."
Then i quickly report the post hoping it will get taken down soon.
There was only one more thing i had to do now. Talk with eva. I tried calling her but she didn't reply so i dm-ed her.

Eva
What do you want ugly nasty gay cheater
 Im in the other park. With mara. Come and explain then.


I closed the convo and picked up my bag. I had to hurry.
When i arrived mara was just leaving. As i walked past her she, disgusted, side eyed me.
-Eva.
-What do you want.
-Um. 
I didn't really know what i should say. What was i supposed to tell her? "yeah make and calin are gay what are you gonna do about it bitch? if you don't delete that photo and apologize I'm gonna beat ur ass" ?
-It's out of context. The photo.
-I took it. I saw yall. Multiple times. You cant fucking deny it.
Okay now she started getting on my nerves. I guess now we have to lie. A lot.
-Eva please I'm sorry i don't even like calin i love you.
-Oh yeah? Then why did you pick him over me every time? Cand believes ur gay. This is gonna ruin ur reputation until there is nothing left of it.
-Eva please, i love you, i continue lying, feeling more guilty and disgusted with every word.
As I spoke, I noticed a few tears rolling down Eva's face. She looked at me with a mixture of hurt and anger.
 -You love me? Really? But you didn't have the decency to tell me before. And what about Calin? You just used him to make me jealous, didn't you?
-W-what, no-
-Okay i see, she gets up from the bench she was sitting on and tries to leave.
-Eva wait you are right. Used calin. Yeah, i say trying to stop her.
-Oh you did? Poor little gay boy.
-No eva, please. we arent gay. I-
-You what? You are just like victor!
I resisted the urge to no laugh because it didn't make any sense.
-Im not like victor! Eva please i love you.  I uh used calin. You are the one for me. Please forgive me.
 After what felt like hours of explaining and begging, Eva finally agreed to forgive me. It was a huge relief, but also a weight off my shoulders. I never thought I'd have to lie so much to the point i started believing myself. I put my hands on eva's waist and give her a hug. Maybe a kiss would have been more believable but I don't wanna be more disgusted than I already am.

Now i just had to talk with calin.
After i walked eva home I finally got to my place.
I lay in bed and opened my dms. Some of the people calmed down and believed me, some were still skeptical and some didn't believe me at all.
I quickly text calin.
"Hey so... Good news: convinced eva we aren't a thing and we sadly got back together, but thats good cuz it covers our relationship.
Bad news: she still thinks YOU are gay and i used you to make her jealous. I promise I'll fix this mess. I swear. Just give me some time. You don't have to do anything. Just believe me."
"YOU WHAT" calin replies almost instantly, like he was waiting for me to text him.
"WHAT DID YOU DO? I told you i will think abt something i cant believe this. Did you even consider asking me if its okay doing that? No! Dont thinks so. Congrats stefan, you fucked up our relationship AGAIN"
I went to text him back but just decided it's best to give him some time.
I throw my phone on the ground and close my eyes. 
I got a flashback. This is exactly how i was when i was still figuring out my feeling for calin. Oh well, time passes so quickly. 
I should have gone to sleep. I wanted to. But couldn't help thinking about how to fix things with calin.
