~Fuck Love~"First day back in this hell hole." Maddie grumbles.
"Hey it's senior year so this is the last time you will be here with all of us." I point out.
"Don't make me cry." She huffs.
"She is right though." Grace adds. "Look at how much we have all changed though. Laura, you're still the sex therapist, Maddie you've become quite outspoken. I came out of the closet. And Tatum found love."
"Can we not use that word please." I mutter.
"Why not? I mean you do love him right?" Fay asks.
"I don't know. Love is complicated." I say.
"There is this whole thing with her mother." Maddie whispers.
"Hey weirdos, hey shortcake."
"I just wish you'd all stop shoving that word down my throat." I grumble and walk away.
Maddox is quick to catch up to me. "What's wrong?" He stops me from walking.
"Nothing."
"Really? You're going to lie to me? Your handsome boyfriend?" He asks.
"Cocky much?"
"Mm I love when you say cocky." I can't help but laugh.
"That's highly inappropriate." I mange.
"Would it be very inappropriate if I said I want to take you up against these lockers right hey now?" He whispers.
"That will never happen."
"Now that I've cheered you up, tell me what's wrong." He says.
"It's just everyone keeps saying the L word."
"The L word?" He asks.
"Yeah you know not like but..you know."
"Oh Love? Why is that upsetting you?" He asks.
"Because we've only been dating..for like a month and a half and I'm not ready to say it. But they keep asking me if I do and if I say no then I sound like a bitch but if I say yes it's a lie."
"Hey you don't have to say you love me. You show me by your actions." He says. "Besides why would you listen to anything those weirdos have to say about our relationship?" He asks.
"Maybe so." I chew on my lip when Alex comes up.
"Hey dude. Listen I got the call the big race tonight." He says.
"Uh now's not the best time Alex." He says.
"Oh right. Hey Tatum, bye Tatum." He says and walks away.
"What's he talking about?" I ask.
"It's nothing."
