It was Friday morning and Max had just woken up. "Good morning beautiful!", she texted Victoria. This week had been so great. Since the date, they had been texting each other non-stop and today they would go on a date again. Max just couldn't wait to kiss her again. After putting on her clothes and getting her bag, she went outside. There, she noticed that a lot of people were staring at her. What was up with that?
When she checked her phone, she saw that Victoria hadn't responded yet. That was also a little weird, normally Victoria was quick with responding. Max suddenly got a bad feeling about this. She saw that Warren had texted her: "Is it true? :("
"Is what true?", Max texted back. Her heart started pounding faster. She put her phone back inside her pocket and went inside the school building.
When she walked past a group of girls, she heard them whispering and giggling. Jesus christ, could someone tell her what the hell was going on already?!
At the end of the hall, there was a group of people gathered around the notice board. Victoria was standing there too, along with her two friends. Max walked towards them to see what they're looking at.
"Eww, don't touch me!", one girl said when Max accidentally bumped into her. Max ignored her and tried to see what was on the board. When she saw what it was, she almost fainted.
It was a picture of Max and Victoria kissing. Well, you couldn't see it was Victoria, since the photo was in black and white, but you could see it was a girl kissing Max.
"Too bad we can't see who that other girl in the picture is.", Taylor murmured. "Now almost every girl here is a suspect." Courtney, who was standing next to her, took a closer look at the picture.
"Don't you think she looks like a little like Victoria?", she asked. Taylor looked at her like she was nuts. Victoria also looked offended.
"That dyke looks nothing like me. Also, why would I kiss Max out of all people?", Victoria growled.
Ouch. And of course, now the others noticed Max was there too. "Well, well. Looks like our hipsterdyke is here too.", Taylor said.
"That's such a lame insult.", Max said. She wanted to run away but two girls blocked her way out. She looked at Victoria, hoping she would do something to help her, but Victoria didn't move an inch. Then Taylor gave Max a push. Max stumbled backwards and fell on the floor. Everybody started laughing, except Victoria. So did she care or not? What was going on? Max got up, took a deep breath and then walked towards Victoria. "Say it. Or else I will."
"Say what?", Victoria said. "I don't have anything to say. You, however…" She nodded at the notice board and grinned. Max couldn't believe this girl was the same girl she had kissed earlier this week.
"You're in that picture. You kissed me! Come on, stop giving a shit about what these morons think of you!", Max yelled. For a moment, it was silent in the halls. Then everbody started laughing. Max had expected this, but she hoped Victoria would say that it was true. But, she didn't. What she did was far, far worse.
"Wow Max, I knew you were weird, but not this weird.", Victoria said. She laughed. "Fuck off, dyke." She turned around and walked away. Taylor grinned and whispered: "Go kill yourselfie." Then she and Courtney followed Victoria.
The others were still staring at Max, some of them were laughing. Max just stood there for a few seconds, letting it all sink in. "FUCK!", Max yelled suddenly and ran outside.
Back at her dorm room, she finally let the tears flow that she'd been holding back. Fuck, she thought. What am I going to do now?
