Seven ♡♡♡ Flint
Stuffing my books into my locker I try my best to ignore Mika and Kane next to me.
"Flint."
My head turns to face Mika, my reply dying in my throat when I see her.
Arabella.
I haven't seen her since I left her house on Saturday. It's now Monday. And my stomach seems to be tied up in a knot.
I watch as she leans against her own locker, nodding along to whatever her friend is saying until she catches me staring.
Then she's standing up a little straighter and waving. Offering a little smile that has my ribs squeezing and causes me to whip my head back to my own locker.
Thoughts all jumbled up. Jaw clenched too tight.
Mika and Kane, who have never been very observant, seem to have seen my weird reaction and both turn to face the source.
Kane frowns, Mika raises his eyebrows, before they both turn back to face me, a grin and knowing look on each of their faces.
"Looks like someone's got a crush." Mika raises his eyebrows suggestively. Making me frown and also want to swing at him.
"Do not." My tongue burns.
"Do too." Kane reply's in a high pitch tone.
My eyes roll, I offer no reply. Continue to stare at my locker as though that'll magically make everything better.
And before I can think better of it I'm confessing things I really shouldn't confess. "I slept with her."
Mikas face falls, mouth opening and closing like a fish. Kanes brows are raised so high they nearly get lost in his hair, then he's chocking on air. "You slept with her?"
I nod, avoid eye contact.
"You lost your virginity and didn't tell us?"
I don't think I've ever moved so fast. I'm slapping my hand over Mikas mouth, a little too forcefully because he falls back into the lockers. "What? No?"
"You said you slept with her?" I turn my head to glare at Kane, then turn it just as fast to face Arabella and make sure she didn't hear.
