The Lies You Tell

Part 4

This is weird, what if Mrs. James is right, what If I was gay, and liked Reiley? Nah, that's not 

possible, I barely know her. Before I knew it, the bell rang. I got up and walked out to go to my 

next class, when I saw my brother talking to some girl.

" Hi Cameron, who is this?" I said, smirking.

" Maddie, this is Rebecca."

I stuck out my hand for her to shake, but she just looked at me.

" I have to go. I'll see you around." She said smiling and walked away.

" What is wrong with you?" He asked me.

" I need your help." I told him.

" What's wrong, what happened." He stood up straighter.

" I think I like a girl. Or at least that's what my teacher said."

" Why did I see this coming? Let's talk about it later, okay?" He said, messing up my hair.

" Okay." I said hugging him.

" Get to class. I love you." He said walking away.

" I love you too Cam." I saw Rebecca staring at me.

" Stay away from him, he is mine." She said glaring at me.

" No can do, I'm betting he loves me more." I told her going into the class.

" What makes you so sure?" She asked me.

I was ready to make her look like a fool, but I decided to wait.

" You'll find out soon enough." I pulled out my phone and told Cameron what I was planning on 

doing, he was down, as long as I told him everything. And of course I agreed.

The rest of the day was slow, and I got really tired. I started to doze off when Reiley was standing 

in front of me.

" Maddie, right?" She said.

" Yeah, do you need something?" I asked with a confused look on my face.

" It's lunch, and since you don't know anybody..." she paused.

Before she could finish I said loudly, " Yes, I would love to."

" Okay, let me get your bag." She said before handing her my bag.

We walked into the cafeteria, and everyone was staring. I started to get really red and I saw my 

brother, and I slowly became calm.

" This is where I sit most days." she pointed at a table in the corner.

When I sat down I didn't know how to start a conversation, until... " Why are you deemed as the 

' bad boy'?"

" Wow, you don't even know me and you already know so much."

She never answered my question, so I didn't ask again.
