Two Sides One School

The Truth Comes Out

(At school)

"There he is. When are you gonna do this?" Evie asked as she pointed over towards Ben.

"I don't know. I should probably do it soon." Mal answered.

"Yeah." Evie agreed nodding.

(After school)

"Hey Ben can I talk to you?" Uma wondered.

"Sure." Ben replied with a smile.

"Privately." Uma stated and brought Ben into a empty room.

"Uma is everything alright?" Ben checked.

"I'm not sure. It's Harry. There might be something going on with him and Mal. He really likes her." Uma was saying.

"So? I'm not mad. He's allowed to like her." Ben said.

"No, but he told me something was going on with him and Mal. To be honest I did see them together, but I didn't think anything of it. So I never said anything. I just wanted to see maybe if you knew anything about it?" Uma continued.

"No I didn't." Ben responded.

"Oh Ben I'm so sorry." Uma apologized.

"You know I'll talk to Mal and see. Thanks Uma." Ben told her, then walked out.

Uma turned and watched him leave as she was smirking.

Ben: hey can you meet me at my garage later?

Mal: Sure

(At Ben's house)

Ben, Evie, and Lonnie we're practicing till there was a knock on the garage door. Ben walked over to open to see Mal standing there.

"Hey." Mal smiled.

"Hey. Come on in." Ben replied.

Mal slightly nodded and walked in.

"Hey guys can we be alone? You can go inside my parents aren't here." Ben told them.

"So what's up?" Mal asked after they went inside.

"I talked to Uma earlier." Ben started.

"Oh yeah?" Mal looked at him as she sat down.

"Yeah. And she told me something." Ben continued.

"Really? What did she tell you?" Mal wondered.

"She told me about you and Harry. Now I'll believe you. Just tell me the truth. Is there anything going on with you and Harry?" Ben was saying. "So is it true?"

"Yes." Mal said and Ben sighed and looked down upset. "But not anymore. I ended it because I only want to be with you."

"I see." Ben stated.

"Ben it's over between us. I'm not..." Mal was going say.

"You're not what? You're not cheating on me anymore? You're done?" Ben was asking.

"Ben..." Mal said.

"You... You should go." Ben said softly.

Mal didn't want to argue and make things worse. So she got up and walked out. After she walked out Ben closed the garage door. As she was walking home tears were rolling down her face.

"H-hey Mal?" Harry walked over to her.

"Not now Harry." Mal replied.

He could tell she was crying. "Hey are you okay?"
