"Hi"

"Hey", I reply as I sit down opposite West

We're currently in the library, it's pretty quiet and we're one of the only ones here.

"I heard about Indiah, I'm sorry"

I shrug it off, "It's ok. Wasn't your fault"

"Is she alright?"

I put my bag down, "Yeah I saw her this morning. She's enjoying all the extra attention" I say amused

Although she's too shook to even touch any sort of substance again which is understandable...we'll see how long that lasts.

"I didn't see you at the party yesterday", I then say

"Yeah I was mostly out back, I saw you though"

"Oh really? You should've said hi"

"I'll consider it a next time"

"Oh please", I then take the files out of my bag and he looks away from his laptop

It's only then that I notice all the little numbers and sequences on his screen, he also has some weird code thing connected to his laptop. I don't know I find the whole hacking thing confusing, do people just wake up one day and decide it's what they wanna learn?

"You never mentioned that you were dating Indiah's brother"

I laugh "You know you're not the first to say that. Was I supposed to?"

"Well no, but still. Does she know what's going on?"

"Mhm"

"I still don't"

I sigh

"All part of the agreement", West reminds me

"Ok, I'll tell you if you tell me something in return"

"Which is?"

"The bruises", I finally say

And then suddenly he becomes annoyed

"We're not talking about it"

"Why?", I ask softly

"Cause it's not your business-

"Ok but I know you know that I'd never even mention it to anyone. Even if I did you have leverage over me-

He scoffs, "What and you think that just because I did you that one favour we're besties?"

"Nope, not in the slightest. But you can trust me"

"Just give me the files"

"I will-

"Why are you so bothered-

"West, I care"

"We're not even friends"

"Well maybe not, but I don't need to be friends with somebody to care about them. You've become nicer"

He doesn't reply and I sigh, "Look I don't just leave shit alone. And I'm gonna keep on asking and asking until you talk about it, which in your case can get really annoying-

"You already know so I don't know why you want me to talk about it", He says annoyed

"Because it's not ok"

"Well life's not fair but we move on"

"Who's doing it to you?-

"Amariah, I can't talk about this. Now do you want me to delete these files or not"
