When we came back in, both of them looked rather flushed and didn't meet my gaze. Only god knew what they've been up to - but I have a pretty good idea. I asked "You fancy watching the next upload - Kylie did about 30 or so of the damn things. I don't know how we'll get through them all in time, considering we only have 3 weeks left till we graduate.

Hanna nodded "Sure put it on Shane."

"Well we'd need to bring it from your room to this room. So why not just go back upstairs?" I asked reasonably.

Tom nodded "Yeah we may as well."

So we all trooped upstairs and positioned ourselves back where we were before. I placed in the next DVD - yeah she burned her footage onto disc for us. Sitting back I watched her face flicker on, tears formed, but I refused to let them flow. I felt someone hold my hand, glancing next to me I saw Yasmine, smiling a watery smile as tears silently carved a path down her face.

Kylie

My heart hurt as I looked into the camera - my second recording. This is all they will have left of my voice. I will die a virgin, I will never be married, never have kids, and never be an aunt or grandma. I won't be at my parent's funeral or my brothers wedding. I won't see Hanna as she grows old - I smiled as I recalled what we'd say to each other 'When we are too old to walk or even move - we'll talk each other to death. We'll demand to be in the same room, and talk about the good old days. We'd be surrounded by friends and family and life would be perfect'. Guess that's all just a dream now - another dream that will never happen - how many dreams have I crushed?

Looking straight at the camera I began "So I guess today at school is just another normal day - in the life of Kylie - that's me for those of you who can't keep up. People knew about my 'bent' personality - but it wasn't always like that. In fact at one time I was the most popular girl in school - you my friends know this - but if this footage leaks out; those people may not know. So I will start, for the sake of those people, back when I was worshipped and loved."

Sighing I remembered what it felt like to feel loved and have people idolise you, I adored it because at home I was not really noticed. I continued "It was the start of the New Year and I was back in school - people were already asking me how I was and where did I get that perfume. As well as the new vest top and skirt, boots and so on. Some also asked how Tom was...that was trickier to answer because I hadn't seen him at all over the holidays. Yeah I may not have been all that faithful to ya Tom. But we'll save that for later. So I was in school, first bell had rung and I was sat in class. Next thing I know you Tom, sweep in and sit down right next to me. Now Tom dear, we'd only been dating for 5months, so I was actually still getting used to dating well...a guy."

I tilted my head to the side, pursing my lips slightly I thought back to that day. I had felt so out of my depth - he'd kissed me in front of everyone and I had hardly reacted - only went beetroot red once he'd done. I was strange like that; if it had been a girl I don't think it would have been as bad. So as you can see my life was far from simple. I breathed in deeply and continued "You may have thought as the months went by - it would get easier. If anything my friends it only got harder - harder to pretend I was someone I wasn't. You know how hard it is, keeping up your rep whilst trying not to get caught out? Let me tell you, it was hard; so very hard."

The footage flickered, then ended, tape 2...tick. Hanna was quiet, as was I but Tom just looked shocked, confused, angry and sad. I think aside from Hanna he had it the worst - although he and Hanna have been rather shady ever since I got back in. My hunch was something happened that wasn't meant to, knowing those two it would come out eventually, they're terrible at keeping secrets and Hanna is a bad liar. Rolling off the couch I announced "Well I need to get back home before my parents call the cops. I'll see you all at school."
