Good Girls Love Bad Boys

Gym Class

I'm sorry this part took a really long time, I had writers block. no fucking idea what to write about next lol

The next day at school, I was sitting outside on the grass with Jordan and Kaela. It was lunchtime and we were in a little triangle eating our lunches and talking about random stuff.

Jordan and Kaela had been rambling on about a party that was happening in a couple weeks, but I hadn't really been listening. My mind was still fixated on the whole event with Dinger. Not just the entire event, but the things said.

Was it true Dinger really got a girl pregnant? The more and more I think about it, the more and more I was beginning to believe he did. It seemed logical. Dinger was always the talk of the day. Which girl has he hooked up with this time? Hey, did ya hear Dinger hooked up with so-and-so last night, then went straight on to that other girl? The questions being answered about him were endless.

Even though people might know about this rumour, and may possibly believe it, I don't think it would be right to repeat it. Except I really wanted to know if it was true or not. I really wanted to talk about it with Kaela and Jordan. They've known him long enough. They've attended this school long enough too, maybe they'll know.

I was debating whether or not to ask them when Jordan tapped me on the shoulder, "Anne-Marie, what the hell is wrong with you? You've been dazed out for ten minutes straight! What could you possibly be thinking about to keep you preoccupied for that long?" she asked. Kaela and Jordan both turned their attention to me.

I looked back and forth between the two of them. I still hadn't made my decision if I should tell them or not. If I hesitated too long, they'd know something's up. They'd pester me until I broke. But if I answered right away, they'd do the same thing. I'd have to choose my reply carefully.

"Oh, nothing, I just didn't get enough sleep last night," I shrugged. That was a good enough answer, right? Wrong.

"Oh, I see. Why didn't you get enough sleep last night? What's on your mind, Anne?" Kaela asked after.

They could keep a secret, right? They were my best friends, they'd never blab it all over school if I told them it was private. I trusted them, and they trusted me. I think it was safe to tell them what I was thinking of.

I hesitated at first, looking at the confused and concerned faces on Kaela and Jordan, then spoke softly, "Okay, you guys can't tell anyone this, not anyone, alright?" they nodded, agreeing to not tell anyone and scooted closer to me. I took a deep breath.

"Okay, so, uh, yesterday, I had to stay after school to tutor Dinger in math. The hour was done and he left. When I tried to follow him, he was gone. Anyway, I was walking home when a bunch of guys started running after me. I ran and turned into an alley when I bumped into Dinger," I glanced at both of them, checking if they were still paying attention. They were.

"Well, the group of guys turned out to be Dumas and his friends. Dumas was getting irritating and started teasing Dinger. Like, Dinger told him to leave me alone, and then Dumas agreed to leave Dinger's 'girlfriend' alone, meaning me. And when Dumas was leaving, he made a comment. Dumas reminded Dinger to use protection, and to make sure he doesn't get another girl pregnant. Later on, when Dinger was walking me home, he told me that it was just Dumas being a jerk and spreading rumours, but," I paused, "I-I don't know whether to believe Dinger or Dumas,"

They nodded again, taking in the whole story that I just told them. Kaela and Jordan thought hard, and they took awhile to say something.

"Well, who do you want to believe?" Kaela asked me.
