Cecilia

I can't tell the one I love not even one of my dark secrets but then I could argue he never told me the full story about his.

"Hey" Dylan took the seat in front of me.

"Hi" I peek up from the notebook in front of me.

"What's that?" Dylan points towards the book.

"Work"

"Right" Dylan rolls his eyes turning to the front.

He had been like this ever since I showed him my gun. If I could tell him the truth I would.

"What's up?" Freddie took the seat next to me.

"Freddie McGuire, Cecilia Fuentes, do you two have something to share with the class?" Our history teacher Mr. Bennett says.

"No sir" We reply.

Dylan's rolling his eyes again.

I ignore him and scribble the note for Freddie, he reads it, adding to it and slides it back.

No one notices apart from Dylan whose fists clenches and unclenches.

"What's wrong with Dylan?" Freddie asks when the period ends, were not going to our next period were going to meet the rest of the club minus Dylan because he's not one of us.

"I showed him my gun"

"What? Why would you do that?" Freddie stops us in our tracks.

"I, I just did, okay?"

"Not really, Jesus what were you thinking? What, that your show him a gun just for fun and he'll just fucking accept it!" Freddie rebukes me.

"It was just spur of the moment"

"Really? Don't have too many spur of the moment's Cecilia; it's not a good thing"

"I'm sorry"

"It's too late now" Freddie yells and walking ahead of me disappearing around the corner.

"Cecilia" Something whispers from the dark.

I spin around, seeing nothing I hurry on, quickening my steps.

It's right behind me now. I start to turn and then a hand is covering my mouth, I start to go into self-defence mode. "Just a talk"

It's him, I recognize him now.

I go with him, he drags me back into the school in a deserted corridor.

"What do you want?" I spit out.

Blondie smiles. "I've always wanted to talk to just you"

"Well you have me now"

Blondie kept on smiling. "Not for long, your friends will come looking"

I slide down to sit on the floor. "So?"

"You see" Blondie started to pace. "There's something about you that I like"

My breath hitched.

"So" He turns to me. "Sleep with me and everything is off, you can do whatever you like with your life, you and your whole group"

"If I sleep with you" I repeat standing up.

Blondie nods. "If you say no then everything is still on"

"Not a chance in hell"

I turn to see Dylan who had my gun in his hand holding it out at Blondie who put his hands up.

"Dylan what are you doing with my gun?" I gasp.

"In case I needed it, in which case I did"

I step in front of Blondie. "Don't shoot him"

"Why you protecting him?"

"Why? If you kill him your make things even worse" I yell at him.

Dylan looks at me for a moment and then he lowers the gun.

"So Cecilia, a deal?" Blondie asks.

"You're not sleeping with him" Dylan grabs my arm and pulls me to him, away from Blondie.

"Hey guy if she wants to then great, if she doesn't then that's cool too"

"Well then were cool cuz the answers no"

"Okay but I'd like to hear it from Cecilia's lips"

Dylan turns me towards him. "Cecilia I wont allow you to sleep with him for anything"

"It's my decision" I told him.

"Then I'll have to stop you whatever it takes"

I turn from him to Blondie. "No" I said out loud but lip-mimed yes to him.

Blondie nods. "It's all cool then"

"Go,d thank god" Dylan threw his arms around me, I leant into him.

"Come on" I grab his hand when he let go of me. "I think you deserve an explanation"
