"Kim, I've got something to tell you." Poppy says, she came over for Sunday dinner the same weekend, looking me in the eyes she winces.
"I know that face - this is serious."
"Uh, yeah, well, I don't even know." She looks at the floor troubled.
"You can tell me anything. No judgment, ever, no matter what."
"Last night, at the party, I was very drunk, I'm so embarrassed..."
"It's fine, honestly." I scoot a little closer to her as we sit cross legged facing each other on my bed.
"I did it, with Ellis."
"And by it you mean...you know, uh." I say awkwardly.
"Sex." She blurts out. "I did it with Ellis!"
"Oh my gosh!" I place my hand on hers. "How did that happen? Did it hurt? What was it like? Did he make you do it?" I fire at her.
She shakes her head, "No, he didn't make me do it, he asked me about a million times and for some reason I wanted to - I guess I just wanted to get it over with in the moment or something. It was like nothing I've ever felt before though, it hurt at first but the pain faded after a little while. I don't know how it happened but it just kind of did."
I process everything she's told me and although I'm definitely shocked, very shocked, I decide to play it cool. "You don't have anything to be ashamed about and besides, I'm sure no one knows and it's not even that big a deal."
"But rumor number 3 that Jason told you?"
"The lies about Noah and I doing...it?"
"Yeah, if the school seems to care about that then what will they think about us?"
"Well," I think about what she's just said and she actually has a fair point; the rumor about me isn't even true (most could probably guess this anyway) but if anyone ever found out about Poppy and Ellis which is actually true...I don't know what would happen. "I'm sure no one will find out. I won't tell anyone."
"It's not you I'm worried about, it's Ellis."
