*Camron lifts Landa's head up and kisses her*

Everything will be okay, I promise.

*Landa and Camron continue to kiss and slowly move upstairs to Landa's room*

"Camron wait, I've never..."

"Me either"

*Landa and Camron close the door, and undress*

**next day**

"Hey Lan"

*Landa avoids eye contact*

"Um hello, Landa come on I know you hear me"

*Landa turns around* what? What do you want? You want a round two in the janitors closet? Huh? Is that what you want? That had to have been the stupidest decision I've ever made in my entire life, I don't even know you. You don't know me. You don't care about me, that was a good ole time for the cam wasn't it? a virgin my ass youve probably had sex more than you've had showers. get out of my face.

*Landa turns to walk away and Camron grabs her and turns her around and lightly puts her against the lockers*

You listen to me right now Landa, what we did last night doesnt ever have to be done again or spoken of thats fine. But what youre not going to do is pretend like you dont know me. Like what we did wasnt real and you felt nothing. I know you have your shit, we all do. But you cant keep pushing people away like a bad habit. Do i know all your favorite items no. But do i know everything about you? Yes, remember you told me. I was a virgin just like you, and I gave mine to a perfect stranger, just like you. *let's go of her and walks off*

**lunchtime**

"Okay L, I know you're mad but..this is exciting, we are dating me and him. You'll never get hurt by him again, because now he knows what you mean to me"

"Oh yay thanks so much claire God it must be great to be such a good friend huh?"

"Okay...figured you'd be happy for me"

"Oh I'm ecstatic that you're dating the person who ruined my entire life, some bestfriend.  You know what? Just don't talk to me. When he hurts you don't call me and when he mentally chews you up and spits you out don't call me"

*landa leaves*

"And remember class the group project is due monday, in full *bell rings for end of school*

*texts camron * walk home with me please?

-time passes-

*text back* of course

*Landa sees Camron and immediately hugs him* I'm sorry for what I said, I was wrong. Ive been so worked up...

"Shhh lan, I understand"

*they grab hands and Landa tells him what happened with claire*

"Wow, bitch move"

"Uh Yeah ya think. I told her not to speak to me again. That was such a big ass, ugh..I'll call you tonight though, *kisses his cheek and runs home*

* hours pass and Landa goes into kitchen to make a snack when a  news report comes on*

"Authorities say the girl, teen, was found face down in a Lake on what appeared to be an act of suicide"

"We dont see the need to go into an investigation, there is no sign of struggle, this girl took her own life"

*Landa walks into living room to watch the report and the picture of the girl comes up*

"Claire Holly Day was a senior at (words are blurred out and Landa drops to her knees"

NO. NO. NO. *picks up phone to try and call claire, phone goes to voicemail* no no no no no

*camron runs over and opens door and instantly grabs Landa while she uncontrollably cries and replays her last words to Claire*
