Chapter Eight

"Peyton? Peyton!" I say, turning her to face me. "Are you ok?" I ask, looking at her flustered face.
"Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine." She replies, biting her lip. "Lying." I say as I kiss my teeth. Peyton just glares at me.
"It's Aidan," She blurts, and a look of regret crosses her face the moment she speaks. "What did he do? Tell me!" I demand. I've never liked him.
"Nothing," Peyton says. Why does she do this? We both know she's lying.
I just look at her and furrow my brow.
"Your hair looks pretty like that," she says, swallowing. "Thanks! Now tell me what happened." I say again. She sighs.
"Well,"
"Yeah?"
"Never mind it's not important." She says quickly. I groan. "Just tell me."
"Fine." Peyton hesitates.
"I ran into him outside, and um, there was some kissing and then-"
"Oh gosh!" I shriek.
"You got laid!" I exclaim.
"What? No!" Peyton says, eyes widening. "I stopped him an left. I felt-
uncomfortable. He knew I wasn't ready." She says with another sigh. Total violation on his behalf. Really though. And Aidan knew that she wasn't ready.
"That's why I don't like him!"
