It's Only You // t.h.

25 - REAL LIFE

"So? What happened?!" Victoria was sitting on the edge of her bed, a towel wrapped around her, even though she had showered before you and had more than enough time to get dressed. You started fidgeting with your hair, which was still damp from you shower. 

"Nothing," you replied, not looking at Victoria. 

"What? No, stop lying. Tell me!" 

"Nothing happened." You walked past her toward your suitcase, grabbing a change of clothes. 

"I think something did." 

"Oh yeah?" 

"Yeah. Why else would you rush into the bathroom?" 

"Certainly not because I'm freezing and soaking wet. That's just crazy." 

"I think you're covering something up." 

"You are free to think whatever it is you want." You walked past her toward the bathroom, clothes in hand. "Nothing happened." You gave her a final look over your shoulder. 

"Who are you trying to convince?" Her question stopped you. 

"What?" 

"Who are you trying to convince?" 

"What do you mean?" She shrugged and turned her attention to the T.V. "What's that supposed to mean?" 

"It means. . ." She turned away from the T.V. "You seem really adamant on making sure I know that nothing happened." 

"Yeah, cause you have a wild imagination." 

"Mm-hm." She looked back at the T.V. You bit your lower lip. 

"He kissed me." 

"He what?!" Victoria practically jumped off of the bed and sprinted toward you. 

"Shh! You can't tell anyone!" Victoria's eyes were wide as saucers as she stared you down as she held you with a death-grip. 

"Tell me everything," she whispered. 

"Promise you won't tell anyone?" She nodded fervently and dragged you to the bed, forcing you to sit down beside her. 

"So what happened?" You swallowed nervously. 

"Well, we were out in the rain," you began. "Then he just, I don't know, kissed me." 

"Did you kiss him back?" She squealed when you hesitated to answer. "You did?! What was it like? Is he a good kisser? What does he tastes like?" 

"Victoria!" 

"What? It's not like Zendaya is going to tell us all of this." Her face fell. "Wait. . ." You nodded. 

"Yeah, I know." You buried your head in your hands. "It's a mess." 

"I'm sure it will all work out in the end," she Victoria said. You were surprised by the sudden sympathy in her voice. "Do you know what you'll do?" 

"He said it won't happen again." 

"Do you believe him?" You looked up at her. 

"What else can I do?"
