Cheryl-

"How about we... go take a swim," I say with a wink.

"What are you implying." She smirks.

"Nothing special, just feel like going for a... swim." I bite down on my bottom lip.

"Okay Bombshell, let's go for a... swim." She says raising an eyebrow, in a sorta confused tone.

We were finally walking out of the movie theater, hand in hand, and then I spot a familiar face in the small group of people. It wasn't Veronica, it was Heather.

I got really nervous and I could feel my palms started to get sweaty and feeling about ready to run away from the situation. I haven't seen her since the party, and Toni doesn't even know about this part. Our eyes made contact, and my heart felt like it sunk. I just felt so weird about the situation, I have almost practically forgotten about the kiss with her, but seeing her is sadly just bringing it to my memory. I had no feelings for her, none at all, I just felt guilty.

"You okay?" Toni asks, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I look at her and give her a forced smile, "Of course." I lie.

We were walking to exit the movie theater, but of course Heather had to be right there. Stopping us by saying "Hi" in a low tone.

We stop walking and we both looked at her.

"Oh, hey," I say nervously.

"How are you guys?" She asks, also seeming nervous.

"We're good," Toni replies for both of us.

It goes silent for a moment, and then Heather mouths to me "does she know?".

I shake my head and I quickly look down to the ground.

"Does she know what?" Toni asks sounding really confused.

"Nothing, Nothing at all." I lied to her.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Heather asks me.

I nervously nod.

We walk away from Toni real quick.

"Listen-" I started.

"I'm going to start." She interrupts me. "I regret what happened at the party, but I didn't want to text you because I just kinda wanted to forget it ever happened. I honestly didn't mean to go for it, that was just dumb. I told you that I'm not trying to mess up your relationship, and I'm honestly still not trying to. To be honest, I've recently found someone, and I'm happy for Toni and you. And to be completely honest, I'm over the thought of you and us." She lets it all out.

"Wow... honestly thank you. I messed up twice that night and got two different reactions from both. Thank you for telling me, I'm glad we got to talk quickly about this. I'm very happy with Toni, and I don't want to mess it up ever again. And I'm really happy for you!" I say giving her a small smile.

"Still friends?" She asks tilting her head.

"Friends." A bigger smile appears on my face.

After that, I walk back over to Toni, and Heather goes her separate way.

"So, what don't I know?" She questions me.

"She tried stopping me from messing up that night, but I didn't listen..." I sorta lie.

"She tried?" She asks.

"Yeah..." I say.

"Wow, I'm sorta shocked. I thought worse of her, maybe she's not a bad friend to you after all." She says kinda shocked.
