I've never been high at school before. But now that I am, I'm bummed that I didn't try this before! Bree and I are in the back courtyard where we first really talked but it's also where her and her ex used to hangout.

"God, I dare that boy to try and show up here again.", I say before taking another hit.

"Oh, don't worry about him!", Bree answers, letting out a little laugh.

I think she likes when I get jealous. Either way, I just don't want him to show up here and make me say something I'd regret.

"Speak of the devil.", she continues, before reaching for the bong and ignoring him.

"Ladies.", he starts, looking down at us sitting on the ground together.

"Sorry, this spot is taken!", I say, fake smiling at him.

"I just wanted to invite you girls to a show my band is playing at tonight.", he says, smirking while ignoring my comment.

"And why the hell would we go to that?.", Bree says, through her smoke.

"Because we rock.", he says, jokingly.

Although, I don't think he was joking.

"Look. We'll think about it okay? Now bye!", I say, kind of aggressively.

"Nice friend you got there.", he says to Bree while passing her the flyer and ignoring me.

I then snatch the flyer from his hand and fake smile at him again before continuing.

"Not my friend.", I say before leaning into Bree and kissing her.

"Wow. You sure do know how to pick them!", he says before walking away.

Bree then pulls away and crumples up his poster before throwing it at him.

"Asshole!", she yells.

She then takes another hit and I start to think of something.

"Wait.", I start.

I then walk over to the crumpled up flyer and pick it up.

"Somebody needs to teach that boy a lesson.", I say slowly, while reading the poster.

"I like where this is headed.", Bree says, smirking at me.

"If by that you mean 55 Gregory Lane then yes. I like where this is headed too.", I say, smirking back.

School passed by pretty smoothly. Not having to worry so much about pretty much anything made life so much easier. I think the weed helped with that though because I don't know if sober me could completely ignore everything like that.

The classes that Bree and I had together were just pretty much spent exchanging looks and trying not to giggle. We even set up a plan where one would ask to go to the bathroom first and then the other would go a bit later so we that we could make out in a bathroom stall.

It all still feels new to me to be intimate with someone but we're taking it pretty slow. We haven't done anything sexual but I don't know when I'd be ready to do so anyway. For now, I'm having fun just kissing this girl that I really like and I'm hoping she's having fun with me too.

When class had ended, we held hands as usual and laughed about the things we would do to get back at him. I know that seems like kind of a childish way to spend time but we're having fun so that's what matters.

"Can you imagine the look on his face if we did that?", she jokes as we head to the bus.

"I don't even know if I'd wanna look at him for that long to be honest.", I answer while looking for my bus pass.

"Damn. You must really hate him huh?", Bree teases, while trying to kiss my cheek slowly.

"Why do I get the feeling that this turns you on?", I nervously say while smiling.

"Because you're right.", she whispers seductively in my ear.

I then feel shivers in my body before it quickly gets taken over by nervousness.

"Oh look, the bus is here!", I say, anxiously.

Bree then laughs to herself and we get on the bus together. We sit at the back and we keep on thinking of ways to get payback on him. The show was supposed to be later that night so we decided to go out to eat while we kept plotting.

"Hey, don't you think that we should talk about something else now that we're having dinner together?", I say after looking around at the place we were at.

"Are you saying this is a date?", Bree says, smiling at me.

"It might be.", I shyly answer back, hoping she would be okay with that.

"So that means we might be dating currently?", Bree answers teasingly while reaching over to hold my hand from across the table.

"I hope so.", I nervously answer, feeling her caressing my hand.

The waiter then comes over and makes me jump so I let go of Bree's hand.

Bree seemed kind of sad about that but I was too anxious to address that right then and there and so we just take our order.

Things get silent for a bit after the waiter leaves.

"Any news from your mom?", Bree asks, trying fo break the silence.

I then look down at look at my hands without saying anything. Bree then pauses before calling the waiter back at our table.

"Could you also bring in some drinks please?", she whispers to the waiter, who then nods at her and leaves.

Bree then looks at me and smiles lightly. I then smile back lightly at her.

I kept debating with myself on whether I should reach to hold her hands again. But now I'm just worrying about my mom and I feel stuck. I've accepted that I do like girls but I don't think she could ever truly accept that. After everything, I just can't believe she would shut me out like that. We've never argued this badly before and I'm afraid that we could never come back from this. Will things ever get back to normal? Or will they get better? Or worse? I just can't think about this anymore or I'll actually freak out.

The waiter then comes back and gives us our food and our drinks. I then grab a drink and look at Bree again.

"Cheers.", I say, smiling at Bree and hoping that our night together is exactly what we need.
