Jessica quickly walks back into the gym where Mr. Minter is still stood, waiting for her. 

"Told her then?" He asks, trying to make conversation. "Mr. Barn already told her." Jess says as she sits on one of the benches. "Oh, okay." Simon nods. "Let's just get this over with..." Jessica huffs. "Right..." Simon nods before grabbing his folder, full of work. He then walks over and sits next to Jess, not to close though.

"Got a pen?" He asks. "Nope." She shakes her head. "Here." He says, passing her a pen and some work. Their hands make slight contact for a split second. "Thanks." Jessica says. "Just do the first question, and then we'll actually do something." Simon says as he walks over to his bag. "Mhm." She nods as she does the work.

Simon grabs his water bottle out his bag before placing the folder full of work back into the bag. He sighs before taking a quick sip of water. "Simon." A familiar voice says from behind. He turns around to see Vik and Josh stood by the door. "What?" He mutters as he quickly jogs over to them. "Here." Josh smiles as he passes him a cup of freshly made coffee. "Thanks man." Simon smiles. "How long will you be?" Josh asks, noticing that Jessica is in the room, oblivious to their conversation. "About a hour, why?" Simon says. "Just wondered." Josh smiles. "Well see you soon." Vik says as he drags Josh away. "Bye." Simon chuckles slightly before sitting down next to Jessica again.

"Who was that?" She asks, looking up at him. "My roommate." He says pretty bluntly. "Oh." She nods before passing him the work she's done. "Great, now time to do something more productive." Simon says, placing the work next to him. "Fun." Jessica says sarcastically. The pair then stand up and make their way to the middle of the room. 

"Let's just do a simple, quick warm up." Simon says, looking down at Jess. "Okay." She nods. "But, before that..." He says, grabbing her arm lightly. "What?" She asks as her eyes widen slightly. "One, I'm sorry... For everything." He says. She looks into his eyes. "I forgive you." She smiles. "Really?" He asks, kinda shocked. "Mhm." She nods. "Okay." He smiles. "And secondly, did Layla force you to tell her?" He asks, biting his lip slightly. "In a way, no. In another way, yes." Jessica says honestly. "Okay..." He nods.

"Are you going to let go of my now? So we can warm up." Jessica asks, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Oh, sorry." Simon says as he quickly lets go of her. 

"Now, let's warm up." He says.
