When she went to her room, it was already 11:53, close to midnight, yet, when she walked in, her friends were still awake.
"Lily, we were so worried and we couldn't sleep! Where were you?!" Reagan asked, concerned.
Lily smiled at her and pulled the covers over her head, and for the first time for many nights, she slept peacefully. When she awoke, she realized that it was saturday. Her friends were awake and sitting on her bed, and she pretended that she was still asleep.
"OH my god! She dissappears forever, then says nothing to us when she finally comes back!" Gwenwhispered. "We searched the whole school for her!"
"She's with a boy, I know it. Did you see her lips yersterday? Puffy. And her eyes? Glazed over. I wouldn't be suprised if she had sex!" Hannah stated. "What do you think Reagan?"
"I don't think it's my place to tell you what I think, It's her life, and she has the right to hide things from us, even if she's our best friend."
"Yea, you're right."
Lily sat up.
"Damn well she's right. I'm not the only one hiding things am i? You make me look like a criminal. I have every right to hide things from you. You aren't my parents, and even if you were, i still have the right to hide whatever i want from you. I'm not the only one. Gwen's dating someone too, aren't you Gwen? You of all people should understand, but to tell you the truth, you're the worst of all!
With that, she got up and stormed out of the room.
Hannah commented, "whoever she's with is giving her an attitude."
"Whoever she's with is making her stronger. And I like that." Reagan stated. " I like seeing her old self."
"Gwen, are you really dating someone?"
She looked down.
"Yes."
"Who?"
"Rhett."
"Sice when?"
"Two months ago."
"Alright."
"You aren't going to ask me anything?!"
"It was always so obvious Gwen. You staring at him, him staring at you, learn to lie better. So easy to see right Reagan?"
Reagan had already left.
