"Ugh Miley, quit dragging me! I can walk on my own." Selena whined, pulling her arm away from her.

"Sorry. We just needed to get to practice." Miley said as she pointed at all of the girls already stretching a few feet away.

Selena looked at her with her hands on her hips. "Practice doesn't start for another 5 minutes. Besides, I need to change and so do you so let's go." Selena turned around and walked back into the locker room.

"Selena! Wait!" Miley groaned before following her in.

"What?" Selena asked frustrated, not looking at her.

"Stop walking so dang fast! We're in no rush here. In fact we need to-" Miley got cut off by the impact of bumping into Selena who stood frozen in her spot. Miley looked to where she was looking and noticed Demi talking to Alyson in their basketball uniforms.

"You know what? You're right. Let's go back over there." Selena made a move to walk back where they came from but got stopped by Miley.

"Selena, stop being a baby. If you don't want to talk to her, then don't talk to her. Act like she's not even there. Just hurry up and get changed or we'll actually be late for practice." Miley said.

Selena sighed exaggeratedly and turned back around before she moved to her locker which was right across from Demi's. She made sure not to make any eye contact with her.

Demi turned slightly to face Selena once she saw her in her peripheral vision. She glanced over at Alyson who was giving her the 'leave her alone' look and frowned. She then looked over at Miley who caught her eye and just shrugged with an apologetic smile. Demi bit her bottom lip before silently telling them to leave them alone for a minute. Alyson sighed but soon complied and walked out of the gym where the rest of the team was. Miley looked to be thinking about it for a minute but then soon agreed, nodding her head slightly before quickly finishing changing.

"Hey Sel. I'll meet you out on the field, okay." Selena nodded, not knowing that Demi was still in the locker room as Miley walked out of the locker room and towards the field.

Selena was putting her clothes in the locker when she suddenly felt weight pressed against her back and arms trailing across her waist. She gasped and turned her head to the side slightly to see who it was. Upon seeing that it was Demi, she relaxed some before remembering that she was mad at her. "What are you doing? Didn't you get my message? I don't want to talk to you."

Demi sighed and turned her around, lightly pressing her up against the lockers. "I know, but if you would just let me explain-"

"No. I don't want to hear your lame excuse on why you lied to me." Selena cut her off, trying to get out of her arms.

Selena bit her bottom lip gently as she stared into Demi's eyes. "I-I have practice right now."

Demi sighed and let go of her. "Fine, go. Continue to ignore me for the rest of your life. Just don't say I never tried." Demi moved away from her and turned around, starting to head towards the connected gym doors.

Selena groaned lightly before giving in. "Okay, explain. You have five minutes."

Demi smiled slightly and turned back around. She sat down on one of the benches and gestured for Selena to sit as well, taking a deep breath. "The reason I lied to you was because I was scared Selena. I panicked. And when I panic, I lie. I know it's not healthy and I'm working on it...Let me start with this: the restaurant is new and I've never been there before, let alone worked there. I know Tim because he's usually the one that throws all these big parties that I always go to. We'd always joke around and drink together but nothing more. And his comment at the restaurant..." Demi looked down before looking back up at her. "He said that because at every on of his parties I bring a date-a girl. But I never bring the same girl with me. Each time he saw me at one of his or his friends parties, I'd be with a different girl." Demi gulped at what she was about to say. "I'd hook up with them. We'd have a few drinks, maybe dance a little bit and then make out and stuff. It was always the same routine with all these different girls at every party. So when he had said that, he though that that's what was going on. That as soon as we left the restaurant, we'd go to some party, get drunk, and hook up. But after you left, he found me and I explained to him that it was a real date and he apologized. I wasn't his intention to ruin our date. Even though he didn't because that was all me and I am so sorry for lying to you Selena. I really am." Demi finished with sincere eyes.

Selena cleared her throat and looked away from her hands to look at her face. "Thank you for telling me the truth but you know you could have told me ahead of time instead of lying." Demi looked down at her hands. "Look, I just need some time to think things over, okay?" Selena kissed her cheek lightly before walking out of the locker room and to the field with the rest of the cheerleaders.
