020. "Fucking whore."

Y'all are going to be SO pissed of Even, again. I'm sorry, but he's a mess. Just like i am. Enjoy.

"So, are we going to tell people that we're together or not?" I asked.

It was Monday, and Even and i were walking to school. Even has been unsure about telling people of us being together, and i felt like i had been kind of pushing him to do it.

"I mean, it's totally okay if you're scared. I am too, but you know that i'll be by your side in every situation." I said.

"Isak, it's not like that. I'm not scared. I just don't think it's really neccessary, at least yet." Even answered.

I rolled my eyes. "Even, we're living together now. What do you mean?"

"I can't tell you. You would hate me." He said after a long moment of silence.

"I think at this point there's nothing that could make me hate you. You can tell me, love. Trust me." I said and took his hand into mine.

I wish i would've seen what was coming. People always say it's calm before the storm, and it was right.

Right before we reached the school's yard, i let go of Even's hand and respected the choice he had made. I would never make him so something he didn't want to do. If he wasn't sure, then it was totally alright.

I had his words still running inside of my mind. What could be so bad that he couldn't tell me? What had he done?

My first class was chemistry, which i totally hated. I sucked at it. Even's was sports. We said goodbyes to each other, and i headed straight to class, because i was already a little late.

Magnus, Jonas and Mahdi already sat on our usual place. Their heads turned towards me as soon as i walked to the room.

"Hi boys!" I greeted them, happily smiling.

"Halla." They all answered together.

Usually we would speak together through the class, right from the beginning. Now everyone was silent. I felt uncomfortable, so i just decided to bring it up.

"What's going on?" I asked and turned to look at them.

They avoided my eyes, and Magnus started coughing. Jonas stared at the table, and Mahdi out of the window.

"Wow, that's rude." I said and turned to see the teacher doing something.

About fifteen minutes had went on before Magnus started speaking.

"Guys, we have to tell him."

"Tell what?" I was curious.

I felt anxiety growing inside of me, which happened often. This day couldn't get any strange, could it?
Then, they all three started fighting about if they should tell me or not. Before i realized, our class had come to an end and no one had told me about that mysterious thing that was going on.

First Even, now them. What the hell was wrong with everyone nowadays?

We exited the classroom and Magnus immediately saw Vilde, who was standing in front of lockers with her friends. He went to say hi to them, so we followed him.

"Have you guys heard about the drama that has been going on in here?" Vilde said, sounding more excited than ever.

Here we go again.

"Spill the tea." Mahdi said to her.

Then, something happened. Mahdi, Magnus and Jonas stared at each other before turning to look at me.
It got me thinking, that maybe, they all had something in common with Even and Vilde.
