Eden had seen the videos. The ones from the movies, really people have no right to say something if they were not there. Joey had been the gossip of the school, everyone whispering when they saw her. This is ridiculous thought Eden. Sure there were videos of joe on top of Luke, George even, but let the girl live! It was so misogynistic, if a boy had done exactly what she had, he would be praised. God forbid a women doing it, am I right? As fucked up as it was, that's life.
Eden was currently waiting for Joey as we speak. She had heard what everyone had been talking about during the time she waited. She such a slut, did you see how close was to him? So much for best friends. Blah blah blah Eden had stopped a few of them from continuing to speak about it. Not all seeing as there were to many, but she tried her best to stop most.
"Jo jo, how you feeling on this wonderful day? Did I ever tell you how much I love you? Oh look, got cool headphones you should try them." Eden said without a moments breath. She didn't want Joey knowing what was happening inside the school. When Eden tried to put the headphones on joeys ears, she pushed her hands, and headphones, away. "I know what everyone's saying about me Eden." She sighed giving Joey a sympathy look.
Eden and Joey walked inside the building, earning a couple stares. Laughs occasionally.
"Keep your head up jo, don't want them getting the satisfaction of putting your mood down." And that's what she did. She kept her head up looking around. Eden could tell she didn't like all the stares, so being the great friend she was, had glared at anyone daring them to say something else. Some looking away, others silenced but did not look away.
They had made it half way through the hall towards their lockers. They stopped briefly when Joey had felt a hand on her shoulder. "Dude you fucking scared me" Eden said looking at Tim. The others joined soon after, others meaning Luke and George.
After Eden and George woke up from their sleep, which was amazing might I add, he had said that he was going to get donuts. Now you might ask, why donuts? (You probably do not care I am saying it anyways, special affect and what not) It was not just any donuts, they were supposed to help with headaches. And after how much they drank, they needed it.
Making it to joeys locker, Tim had asked if she could help him with a book. Ew I hate school, Eden thought. Cutting off their conversation, Luke leaned onto Joey. Eden seeing how discomforted Joey was about it, slightly pulled Luke off.
The bell had rung signaling that class had started. Joey going one way, and Eden and the boys going another. She had wanted to go with Joey but she couldn't miss anymore days of school, seeing as she missed a lot after her mother's death. George laid his arm around her, concerned about what had happened and what she had told him last night.
————————
Class had ended and George texted her to meet them in an empty class room. As she was heading over to where she had been texted to be, she heard a couple of voices.
"Ok look, I think they're both whores" Eden had turned the corner and had heard what the freshman had said.
"Ayo, what the fuck?" Eden had said, furious with the freshman. Eden didn't want to get physical knowing what will happen, but today was really testing her. She guessed the freshman was mad at Joey for sleeping with George, which is bizarre seeing as he was with Eden after the movies.
As for herself, she was confused on what she had done. Was she seriously jealous of the video George had posted the night of the movie's? They didn't even do anything! It wasn't anything sexual. Sure sitting on each other's laps doesn't exactly scream best friends, but that's all they were. Best friends. (An: ouch)
Sure they flirted, was that really such a crime? They were both single, not a big deal. It wasn't Eden's fault the freshman wouldn't let him go.
The freshman, Eden still not knowing the name of, had started stuttering, saying she was sorry, didn't mean it, more slurred apology's. Pathetic Eden thought. Rolling her eyes Eden walked toward the empty class in front of her. Not empty per say but only had a span of her friends. She didn't think the freshman was worth the detention she would've gotten if they had started an arguing.
"No I never shat in the woods." Was the first thing Eden had heard when she entered the class room.
"Yes you fucking did, found diarrhea all over the ground" Eden had replied. George agreeing with her immediately. Joey had told Anna eat the vomit bean. Anna hesitantly doing so. Having no where to sit, joined George on the ground. He had put her legs over his, to make her more comfortable. She put her arms on his shoulders, finally comfortable they both stayed in the same position.
"Never had I ever had an orgy with a friend" it had turned into an awkward moment. George and Eden looking at each other with their mouths wide.
"That's fucked up Anne" Eden said feeling bad for Joey. She had looked down, almost ashamed? Eden couldn't tell. Anna had thrown some beans at Joey but when she didn't catch any. Anna had finally gave her one to her hand.
Anna then turned to Eden and George. Eden noticing first, looking confused when Anna had also passed one. Eden not eating it, still looking at Anna more confused now.
"Oh come on! Freshman year? you and George?"Eden looked at George wide eyed once again. George looking back at her with a flustered face.
Eden had wanted her first time to be with someone special, so George offered to do it. He went out of his way for it to be perfect. He had set out candles, rose peddles, even dimmed the lights for extra affect. He was so different in freshman year, although to Eden nothing had changed much, at least not the way he acted with her.
"If I'm taking one so does George" Eden said snapping out of her daze. Anna throwing both of them different beans.
George had his head on her shoulder, little did she know, he was thinking of everything that had happened that day. Smiling at himself. He missed the way she touched him, laughed, especially the way she tasted (you're thinking of the wrong lips bro), her lips so soft, also the way her skin would heat up wherever he touched.
George wanting to forget it knowing she didn't feel the same way. One of the reasons why he had hooked up with so many girls was to get her out of his mind. He never could though, wishing it was always her. He soon snapped out of his daze, looking up at her while she laughed about how disgusting the bean was. God he was so in love with her and she did not know.
—————————
Joey had been off all week. It unfocused in class or distracted during dance. Eden had tried talking to her, but Joey would blow it off saying she was fine. Eden obviously didn't believe her, but she didn't want to question her about it. She'd tell her when she's ready.
Joey, George, and Eden entered the theater room. During freshman's audition. They all peaked out the door, watching her perform. George being an idiot started laughing.
"Oh are you auditioning George" Meera had asked sarcastically, making them all step out of the door and into her view. Being the idiot he was had stated he was very knowledgeable about female pleasure. Eden elbowing him after Meera asked them to leave. Eden had told Meera good luck giving her an awkward thumbs up.
George had tried apologizing, I know fucking crazy, to the freshman but she just pulled the finger at him and walked away. Eden found it hilarious, considering she was laughing the whole time they were leaving the room.
The day was finally over, aside from the assembly nothing had really happened. Eden was ready to go home, as she was on her way she had received a text from joeys mom. Joeys mom had asked if she could come over, so she took a u-turn heading over there.
