It really didn’t come as much a surprise to me that the entire school was talking about our “kiss” the next day. But that didn’t mean I was immune to the attention.

Everywhere I went, people whispered, gossiped, and pointed in my general direction, causing my skin to crawl. Every girl in my vicinity threw glares at me, while all the guys snickered right to my face in an unabashed manner.

To me, it was probably the most humiliating moment of my life. Strangely, however, I was more numb than bristled with self-loathing.

My body seemed to react exactly how anyone would in a situation like this: completely frazzled and blushing all shades of red.

But a part of my brain just seemed so done with everything Carter-related. It was like the kiss was the final straw. It was like –

I stopped suddenly, in the middle of the hallway I was currently walking in. My head lifted up from its previous somber state and stared at the throng of students walking around. Well, not really. It was more just staring at nothing as two and two connected in my brain.

It was like Carter planned the entire thing to sabotage me the only way he could! Maybe he couldn’t find out if I was S. or not and just went ahead and ruined my life, or maybe he did find out and knew the best way to destroy me was to ensure I was too miserable to deal with my own problems, let alone give advice to others!

I clenched my teeth as the sound of the bell rang ahead and I finally realized that the hallway was empty except for a few stragglers who couldn’t seem to care if they were late or not. Apparently, I was a part of them. Suddenly, as if my brain shifted into auto, my legs scrambled awake and ran down to my Calculus class as I prepared exactly what I was going to tell Fay about this revelation. If that meant telling my best friend my secret, so be it. After this incident, I knew that if I was going to face Carter, I would need an accomplice.

“You’re S!?” Fay squawked, as a look of disbelief covered her face.

We’d just gotten out of Calculus, in which I’d given Fay a paper that had written basically everything, from my start as S. to my theory on Carter’s kiss and every detail in between.

“Shhh!” I whispered harshly, pulling her to a row of lockers that were relatively empty.

“It’s a secret, Fay! Don’t let the whole freaking world know!” I hissed, as I glanced over my shoulder to make sure nobody was listening.

“Okay, but give me a second to digest this. Wait, I wrote letters to her –  you – ugh!” She threw her hands up in frustration, before crossing them.
