Taylor walked with Lillian to their class together.

"To be completely honest," Taylor said, "it was the best experience I have ever had."

"Ooh, didn't think you were so into that stuff," Lillian teased. Taylor smacked her arm.

"Shut up! Anyways, I do have a problem."

"What about?"

Taylor pulled her hair away from her neck. "I've got a damn hickey. I'm lucky my dad didn't notice it."

"Don't worry, I've got some make up in my locker, I can try to cover it up at lunch."

"Thanks a bunch. Also, please don't tell Fay I told you about all this. I don't want him getting mad at me."

"Alrighty, I won't tell him that you told me about you two literally making ou-"

"Lillian!"

"Sorry!" She grinned. Taylor sighed, but smiled as well.

Page's POV:

I stood near my locker, waiting for Oliver to meet me. He had been on vacation and didn't come back until school was already back in session. I spotted him walking down the hall and I ran to him, nearly knocking him over with a hug. A wide, goofy grin forced itself onto my face. I felt Oliver hug me back.

"It's nice to see you too, Page," he said to me. I soon pulled away, my face red with embarrassment. We walked to our lockers. As we then began to walk to our class, I remembered something.

"So, Oliver," I started, "remember how back in middle school, I had that sort of 'disorder' and I had a split personality?"

"Yeah, how could I forget?"

"Well, it's started to...Get to me lately. I've been having dreams about it recently."

"Hm, that's weird. I wonder what's causing it."

"Maybe it's because...Y-You weren't here to keep my mind off of it."

"What do you mean?"

"The dreams started after the first day back at school. You're usually always with me, and I almost never thought about it. But when you weren't at school.."

"It began to get to you again?"

"Yeah."

"Sounds reasonable. We never talk about it, and never have since freshman year."

"Well, now that you're back, perhaps the dreams will go away."

"If the dreams were about your disorder, were they really 'dreams'?"

"You've got a good point. More like nightmares."

Before we entered our homeroom class, a girl with bleached-blonde hair stopped us in our tracks. I immediately recognized who it was.

"Heeeey, Ollie!" Sally said flirtatiously.

"Don't call me that," Oliver said, rolling his eyes.

"Whateves. Where were you? I missed you a bunch!"

"On vacation, away from you." We walked passed her and into our classroom, and we both sat in our seats.

"S-So, Oliver," I started to say, a bit hesitant at what I was going to tell him. "I...Need t-to tell you something important.."

"Uh, alright. What is it?"

"Um..." I gathered my courage. "I'm just gonna come out and say it; I'm gay."

Oliver was quiet for a few moments. I looked away in embarrassment and defeat. I knew he'd hate me... I thought. My vision went cloudy as I started to tear up.

"Page, are you crying?" Oliver asked me.

"N-No!" I replied firmly, trying to act normal, but I couldn't stop the tears escaping my eyes.

"Yes you are, Page. Come here." He grabbed my arms and pulled me in for a hug. "Why are you crying?"

"B-Because you looked like you didn't accept what I said..."

"Page, of course I do. I don't care what sexuality you are, your personality and adorable-ness are all that matter to me."

I blushed at what he said.

"Besides, I'm gay too. Well, bi, actually."

I felt the butterflies in my stomach flutter around. Now I know I might have a chance with him! I thought. I smiled.

Sally's POV:

I walked into my homeroom class with my bestie, Peggie. "Why can't I be in any classes with him?" I whined.

"It's just the way it is, Sal," Peggie told me.

"Also, why does he always hang out with Page? Page's a weirdo, he had that weird double personality thing during middle school. Plus, he doesn't even sound like he's hit puberty yet!"

"That's like asking why we're best friends. Some people just click. Like Bastion and Susan. Susan is nice and sweet, and Bastion was an asshole in middle school, and yet look at them. Apparently, they're a couple."

"But why can't Oliver click with me?!"

"I guess some people just don't click the same way others do."

I sighed. "I guess you're right...I need to keep trying, though!"

I heard Peggie let out a long sigh.

No, I'm not saying I know if Paper is gay and OJ is bi. This is my interpretation.
