"It just sucks," you whispered. "Everything I do now is so secretive. And I can't help but feel guilty... not because I'm lying to them about being with you, but because I have to. And because there used to be a point in time when I thought like how they did." You looked at him in shame and he shook his head slowly, a tight-lipped smile on his face. "Barley, I am so sorry for---"
"You don't have to apologize for anything," he said. "You didn't know me. You said that before."
"I should've gotten to know you a long time ago," you said. "I've wasted so much time that I could've been spending with you."
"While I agree with you that it sucks that we missed so much time, I am extremely happy that we are friends now and I wouldn't trade any of this for anything. Except maybe being able to go out without knowing that if your parents see us, we're toast," he said, and you laughed again. "I don't think you have to be guilty about anything. Opinions change and you didn't know me. Now you do. Do you think bad of me now?"
"No," you said. Your voice was soft. "I think you're the greatest person I've ever known."
