Me: Alisha..?

Alisha: (beams) Hi Em!

I can't even manage to form words out.

Alisha: (laughs) You look so surprised!

Me: (laughs nervously) Er, yeah, I just wasn't expecting it to be you.

Alisha: Well, I am full of surprises. (winks)

Hayden puts his arm around her waist - the way they look at each other tells me one thing.

They're in love.

I think I need to sit down.

Mum: Anyway Em, Tia, have you got everything you need for the weekend?

Tia: Yup! I'm all set!

Me: I just need to umm... grab my hairbrush.

Mum: Okay.

I exit the kitchen and almost bump straight into Jason.

Me: Bloody hell, you scared the beejeezus out of me!

Jason: Sorry. I take it you've met Hayden's girlfriend?

Me: (nods) Yup.

Jason: I was quite shocked too. But maybe it should of been obvious.

Well no, because isn't she sleeping with Noah..? I am so confused...

Me: How though?

Jason: Alisha is really popular and very attractive. Hayden is also very popular and has the good looks. Also, he's come back home numerous occasions smelling of that Peach & Mango Victoria Secret perfume - the one that Alisha sprays on herself nearly every science and English lesson.

Me: I haven't been paying attention. I guess I should have.

Jason: But now you know.

Me: Yeah, I guess I do. I'll meet you in the car, okay? Save me the seat by the window.

Jason: Of course.

I rush upstairs, into my bedroom, and close the door.

Holy shit.

It's not even like I can ask her bout Noah - she doesn't even know that I know! Does Noah know the situation with Hayden?

My iPhone starts ringing - speak of the devil.

Me: (answers call) H-hey!

Noah: Bloody guess what!

Me: What? Are you okay? You sound..

Noah: I am fine, but Alisha came round earlier and ended the fling between us. After f...fucking 3 weeks of ignoring my calls, she decides now to start speaking.

At least she hasn't been sleeping with him while she's been with Hayden.

I let out a quick sigh of relief.

Noah: And you wanna know what she told me? She told me she can't keep this fling going for personal reasons. Wouldn't even tell me why!

Me: (speaks quietly) I know why.

Noah: What? She told you but not me --

Me: Noah, she's dating Hayden.

There's a long pause. I start to worry.
