It was the end of the day, most of the day had gone by smoothy...with a few stares and laughs. She was surprised that Paige didn't comment on her stupidity, but Paige didn't know the worst of it anyway.

Ellie headed towards her locker to put away some things when she saw Marco at his. She walked over to him and stopped.

"M-Marco?" She said hesitating.

Marco slammed shut his locker and glared at her. "Leave me alone, Ellie."

He began to walk away when Ellie grabbed his arm.

"Wait Marco!" She pleaded. "I'm sorry."

Marco stopped and turned around. "Your sorry?...do you think that is going to fix everything? Do you think that I'm gonna act like you didn't betray me because you said your sorry?"

"Marco..."

"No Ellie, it isn't going to fix anything. It isn't going to change the fact that you told Sean that I was gay and pretty soon the whole school will know. It won't change the fact that..." Marco stopped. He knew what he wanted to say but he couldn't come to say the words. He didn't want to admit that Ellie had been with another guy. "Just leave me alone."

Marco pulled his arm from her grasp and stormed off. Ellie watched him leave. She felt helpless and horrible. Marco hated her, what was she going to do? Suddenly she saw Marco heading back towards her. Was he going to forgive her? Would he at least let her talk?

"Marco?"

"Don't talk to me." He said opening his locker and grabbing a book. He had only forgotten something.

"Marco please just hear me out." She begged. "Please."

"What do you have to tell me, huh?" He asked. "Because I already know what happened, and I don't really care why!"

"Give her a break, man!"

Ellie turned around and saw Sean approaching them. He stopped by Ellie's side.

"Ellie didn't mean to do anything," Sean continued. "She was completely out of it. Ellie is the sweetest girl and she would never mean to hurt someone."

"Yeah right," Marco said. "And I'm supposed to believe you?"

"Hey believe what you want," Sean said. "But it's the truth."

"The truth is," Marco said, raising his voice. "Is that she cheated on me!"

"I'm sorry but she didn't have a boyfriend to cheat on!" Sean said, now raising his voice. "I know your little game Marco, and whether or not you realize it, what you did to Ellie was completely unfair to her. She was drunk alright. What happened meant nothing! So just get over yourself."

"Well," Marco turned to Ellie. "It still doesn't change anything. You told him things that no one is supposed to know, not yet."

"Oh don't worry." Sean said. "Your secret's safe with me." With that, he walked off.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Ellie kicked a rock as she walked home alone. She told Ashley that she was staying after school, but she just wanted to be alone. As she appoached her house, she saw someone sitting on her front steps. As she got closer, she recognized that it was Sean. Ellie sighed and kept walking. When she reached her house she sat down next to him.

"What are you doing here?" Ellie asked.

"I just needed to talk to you," Sean replied. "It won't take long."

"Okay," Ellie said. "Then talk."

"I know that whatever happened last night..." Sean paused. "Do you even remember it?"

"Most of it," Ellie said. "Up until you and Marco starting fighting."

"Oh," Sean said. "Well, what happened... it didn't mean anything right?"

Ellie sat there for a minute. She remembered how she felt before Marco came into the room. How she felt warm and safe with Sean. She shook her head.

"Right," Ellie said. "We can just pretend it never happened."

"I can try," Sean replied. "But I will always be your friend, Ellie. Don't forget that."

Ellie felt so confused. Did she like Sean? What about Marco? Would he ever speak to her again? She had to find out. She had to get her life back. It was time to start over.
