Two Sides One School

Their Secret Relationship

(Monday morning)

Ben was standing by his locker talking Chad and his other friends. Then he glanced over and saw Mal and the others walk in.

"Uh... I'll talk to you guys later. I need to go." Ben said, then walked away.

He saw Mal stop at her locker and waited till no one was around, then he grabbed her from behind.

"Jeez!" Mal complained as she jumped. She turned to face Ben. "What are you doing?"

"I wanted to say hello." Ben told her as his arms were still around her waist.

"Oh really?" Mal asked in a flirty tone as she wrapped her arms behind his neck.

"Yep." He replied also in a flirty tone.

"Well there's no one around so...." Mal smirked and started leaning in to kiss him.

Ben started leaning in to kiss her too.

"What are you two doing?!" Carlos asked yelling a little.

That made them both jump and quickly pull away.

"Carlos?! W-what are you doing here?" Mal questioned getting nervous.

"I came looking for you. Class is about to start. Now tell me what you two are doing." Carlos answered, then demanded.

"We... We... We're dating." Ben gave in.

Mal quickly looked at Ben shocked, then back at Carlos with a smile. "Carlos, look you can't tell anyone. Especially Evie and our parents."

Carlos sighed before replying. "Okay, look I'll keep your secret, but you're gonna have to everyone at some point."

"We know." Ben stated.

"Good. Now we should get to class." Carlos added.

(At lunch)

Mal was at her usual table by herself since none of the others were there yet.

"Hi Mal." Uma greeted her at Mal and the others' table.

"Hi...?" Mal looked up at her questionable.

"Did you have fun this weekend?" Uma asked.

"Uh... Yeah? I guess." Mal answered still giving Uma a questioned look.

"Yeah you sure looked like you did." Uma smirked, then showed Mal the picture of her and Ben. "It be a shame if everyone saw this picture. Especially Evie and your parents."

Mal looked at the picture shocked, then up at Uma. "What do you want?"

Uma smiled and put her phone away. "How sweet of you to think I want something."

"If you don't want anything, then why are you showing me this and threatening to send it around?" Mal wondered.

"Okay the only thing I want is for you and your other friends to start treating me better." Uma started.

"Really? That's all you want?" Mal looked at her like she was pathetic.

"And... You will all come to my party this weekend and tell everyone it was the best party you've ever been to." Uma finished.

"Seriously? All I have to do is act nice to you and go to your party?" Mal checked.

"You're right. Also for a whole month you must do whatever I say. You have to be my assistant." Uma added.

"You're kidding me, right?" Mal asked with her jaw dropped.

"You wish." Uma responded. "Your choice. Either you do this or everyone sees this picture." Uma waved the phone in Mal's face. "I'll give you till the end of the day."
