Beli's POV

Queenie sobs as she pigs out on a tub of Ben and Jerry's cookies n cream ice cream.

"I didn't mean to make that comment. I seriously thought we were against Jews"

"Queenie, it's okay. I believe if you just apologise to the class, Dustin and everyone else who heard about it everything should be back to normal"

"Fuck I ain't apologising!"

"Queenie! I know you hate apologising to people but this is the only way to fix this"

"Fine" she shouts.

"Dustin is going to hate me the most... who will I even go to prom with?"

"Go with me. Not as a couple but as friends. I can just tell Logan that I can't go with him" I tell her.

"You'd do that?" She looks at me. Her snot was coming out of her nostrils as more tear fall out of her eyes.

"Yes, Queenie. You know why?"

She shakes her head, "no, I really don't. I've been nothing but a bitch to you because I threatened you a lot and I made you go through a bunch of things I don't mean to"

"Yeah you did.... but that's not the point, you're my best friend and I love you" I smile.

She begins to sob hardly again, "that's so sweeeet" she pulls me closer and grasps onto me, "I love you too"

<><><>

"So you kissed a teacher... twice and made out with him. That is a lot to take Beli and you could get seriously hurt and get into big trouble" She tells me, I take a deep breath.

"I know... I really do like him though"

"Actually you know what? I can't be a hypocrite so I'm going to tell you now and you cannot tell anyone" she passes me her pinkie finger and that's when I knew that this was serious. I link my pinkie with hers, "I promise to keep it and support you"

"Good. Okay, here it goes..." she takes a deep breath before saying, "I think Mr Neal is attractive"

I don't say anything. I didn't know exactly what to say but I eventually found something to say, "that actually makes sense"

She looks at the ceiling, "was I too obvious?"

"Yeah, you were... well for me, but I think that's only because I understand you" I smile.

"If I don't get back with Dustin, shit might get messy" she sighs, "I mean I did hook up with our old history teacher and-"

"Wait really?!" I sit up.

"Yeah I did... listen, from now on I'll stop telling you what to do and who to love. I've been a massive hypocrite to you and I need to stop" she shakes her head.

"I guess I really care about you Beli and I really don't want you to get hurt just like how I did" she then says, I calmly lay back down.

"Thanks Queenie, this really means a lot to me" she held my hand tight.

Then there was silence. There was nothing wrong with silence. I find it very calming and relaxing. Well that really depends on the scenario.

*bzz bzz*

We both flinch, "shit Dustin is calling me" She says before picking up the phone, she puts it on speaker.

"Okay you know what? I can't break up with you because I need you in my life" he says as Queenie puts her phone on my bed.

I look at Queenie, "no I was a dickhead, I literally thought we were against the Jews so I said a certain thing I shouldn't have and I'm really sorry"

"Forgiven... but didn't you study history since like year 7? Shouldn't you already know-"

"Yeah yeah, I never really paid any attention" she interrupts him.

"So, back together?"

Queenie's eyes flicks up to look at me. She doesn't seem to want to go back with him but I know she will.

"Yeah" she fakes a smile.

"Sweet, I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah" she says again.

"Cool, love you baby"

She doesn't say anything, "you there?"

"Yeah, you too" she mumbles.

"Alright goodnight"

She hangs up, "why did you get back with him if you're not happy?" I ask.

"You won't understand"

I open my mouth to say something but I drop it. She's probably right. She always is.
