Cry's POV
The next day, during lunch no less, the two girls from before came up to us. Fenn and Vulx gave them weird looks, but they held up their hands. It was a new gesture we all developed somehow.
"Hear us out, ok?" After a moment of pause, they went into it.
"So... the only reason we tried to help Mad was he had something against Andrea and I." Erin explained.
"He said if we didn't help him, he would make the word spread. We obviously don't want that, so we had to help." Andrea said quietly. Her dead fish eyes gleamed with the threat of tears. Erin held her hand again.
"It's probably spreading as we speak. So... will you forgive us? Can we be friends?" Erin asked. She and Andrea looked sad and desperate. After a moment, we nodded and made space for them to sit. As they sat, they flashed smiles, but it was short lived. Three guys came past out table, coughing.
"*cough*Gay*cough*"
"*cough*lesbos*Hack" the third one snickered and walked away. All of us starred, wide eyed.
"D-did they just say..." Felix started.
"I think so." I finished. Felix waked up to a girl and asked her something, where she laughed and pointed at Andrea and Erin. Felix came back, face flushed.
"It's spreading. Our and their relationship." he said.
Wait... our?
