..

Despite everything that happened at the party Saturday night, it seemed on that Monday morning when I got to school and was shockingly met with no lingering stares, no prying eyes, no snickers or pointing even as I stepped into math class, that no knowledge of my scandal at Celeste-view high school had been spread.

It's safe to say that I feel completely lost.

I spent my whole Sunday moping around in my bed, thinking of what my next steps were going to be once I would have no choice but to leave this school - something I thought was inevitably going to happen. I'd never wanted to look into homeschooling but sadly, it had started to look like the only option I had left.

However, none of the telling reactions that I was waiting for; the stares, the laughs or the mocking. Not a single one could be detected.

I'm immobilised in my seat through most of the math class that morning, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. Callista had made it her life's mission throughout those last few days I'd had at Celeste-view high school, to make my life a living hell.

She'd had this personal grudge that I-too consumed in myself- hadn't realised had been building throughout all of our friendship. It was this grudge that propelled her to attack every good thing I had going on for me in my life.

There was just no way that Callista found out I was attending Cedora hills- the school she'd always dreamed about attending since elementary school-and didn't try to sabotage the whole thing. But it seemed that by some miracle, she really hadn't said anything. I didn't know if this was something I should be relieved of or afraid of.

Towards the end of that class, just as I've started to pack my things back in my bag, a tall figure appears in front of my desk. It's Rebecca. She stands there with her hands clasped behind her back and her lips twisted to the side. There's this hard expression in her eyes that makes my breath catch in my throat.

Here it comes. Callista told her about the video. Rebecca's about to confront me about it. from here on the situation will just escalate.

"Isa, I need to talk to you about what happened Saturday night."

My heart is thumping and there's that familiar ringing in my ears that always appears whenever i'm put in a position of imminent danger. "Rebecca I-"

"No. I really needed to apologise for the way I acted in the bathroom."

There's a long moment of silence between us as Rebecca's stares at me earnestly and as I blink at her once again shocked at the realisation that my secret was still intact.

"I was drunk." Rebecca continues completely oblivious to my mental turmoil. "But that's not an excuse for the way I acted. I just don't want you to think that's my character because it's not."

Truth be told, I had completely forgotten about the events that had taken place in the bathroom that Saturday night. Anything that happened before my encounter with Callista was a blur for the most part.

"It's fine Rebecca." I tell her truthfully. "Everyone has their moments. It's okay."

The red haired girl gives me a smile so wide I can't help but smile along with her. "Thanks for understanding Isa. I just wanted to clear that up with you."
