Monday Morning school

Andys P.O.V

I walk into school and suddenly hear all the rumors. People are whispering and pointing at me. I have no idea what's going on till some girl walks past and says "Don't worry Andy. You don't need her anyway." Her who? I think hard for a minute. Who is important to ne that everyone knows about? Billie. But why wouldn't I need her? I hear another girl whisper "I can't believe Billie would do that. Sleep with another guy after the party. Like, she was just with Andy before that."

I couldn't believe it. Billie. Do this? No way. Yes. Maybe. I decide to pull the CD out of my bag anyway. I have payed the school cleaner to open up Billie's locker for me so I can put a CD in there for her. I write a note for Billie and lay it on top of the CD. Of course I'm upset. I love Billie - even though we just met - and I don't see why she would do this to me. Maybe there is a reasonable explanation. Maybe they are just rumors.

I shut her locker and slowly walk away, upset and disheartened.

Billie's P.O.V

I get out of my car and walk up the stairs to school. I don't know why but everyone is looking at me. I hear some say disgusting words said and I wonder what they are talking about. I suddenly see all my friends rush up to me and ask if I am okay.

"What's going on?"

"Well, um. Someone started a rumor that after you left the party you went to another boys house and slept with him." Julia answered, cringing as she said it.

"Oh no. But you guys saw me leave and you know I would never do that." I said already feeling like I couldn't survive a day at school. What if Andy heard this? I couldn't bear the thought. Maybe he already had.

"They said you slept with Brandon." Tiahn said, trying not to cringe. Brandon has been my neighbour forever and I used to have a crush on him in 7th grade. I would never do this to Andy but I can't bear to think about whether he believes this or not.

No. He won't believe it. Please.

I walk to my locker and open it up, trying to ignore all the pointing and whispering which was directed at me.

When I look inside my locker, I see a CD and note from Andy. It says 'I can't believe you would do this to me. I still love you but I guess this is goodbye - Andy.'

I can't believe it. Don't want to believe it. Andy knows about the rumour and on top of that he believes it. He thinks I would cheat on him. I look back at the CD and see that a particular song is circled on the song list. I will have to listen to that later. I shove it in my bag and try to ignore all the whispering and staring and walk to my homeroom.

I get into class and take my seat and ignore everyone who's whispering and concentrate on the teacher. Andy is sitting in his usual spot but I can't look at him because I don't need to see the heart-broken look on his face.

When class is over, Andy walks up to me and says "I'm sorry Billie. I just need some time but if I find that you never did it then you don't have to worry. We'll be back together and happy again." He said sadly smiling. I couldn't meet his eyes which probably made it look like the rumor was true. It wasn't.

I see a smug Juliet walking past. Juliet had always been my enemy since prep when she knocked over my sand castle. It could have been her who started the rumors because as Andy walks away, she checks him out and I can see her starting to flirt with him.

I can't believe he would fall for her. He said he liked me because I was real, because I was honest. Juliet is the complete opposite. She's mean, spiteful and fake. No one, not even her "friends" really like her. How could he like that in her?

Now that I remember, Juliet has always been into Andy. She must have started the rumor. Now I just have to figure out a way to get the truth out and fix this.
