Today was Monday, the first day I'd have to see Naomi and Peter since what happened. Jonathan and I already talked about it and we were going in together. I texted him and he said we were going to meet where he first kissed Naomi which was good. It was 8:45 and school started at 8:50. Jonathan just got off of his bus and we were standing in the spot. "Are you ready?" He asked almost as if it was reassurance for himself. I nodded letting out a breath of air. "Ok, let's go." I said walking in. In our school gossip spreads like crazy. So we already knew that everyone knows what happened on the weekend. A string of are you okays passed through the hall as we walked by. We just nodded our heads. We got to our classroom and just sat down in our usual spot with Ashley, Grayson, Denis, Molly, Marvin, and Ella. Naomi and Peter weren't sitting with us, and judging by the looks the rest of the group was giving them, it wasn't by choice. "It's ok, they aren't gonna bother you guys today." Ashley stated looking ready to fight, she was tiny, but she was ruthless. I laughed at her expression. I looked at my phone. Peter texted me. I rolled my eyes. I wasn't going to read it. I looked over at Peter he looked like a lost dog. So giving in I read it. Izzie, I know it may seem impossible right now, but can we please be friends? I miss you. That's it. That's all he has to say to me? I sighed and rolled my eyes at him. He looked hurt. Good. I texted back. Do you have any idea how that feels to know that you kissed my BEST FRIEND! Not only did you hurt me, but you hurt Jonathan too. You kissed his girlfriend! And you expect me to forgive you with a forgive me and I miss you? I don't think so. His face looked hopeful as he read the text but it slowly turned sad when he read it. Just let me explain! He texted. Explain what? you kissed my best friend what is there to explain? I countered. He started walking over here. "Aw hell no." Ashley said standing up as Peter came over. "I thought I made myself clear this morning." Ashley stated. "Let me explain to them. Please!" "You had your chance to explain to Izzie, and just no. You are not talking to Jonathan." Ashley said getting defensive "Fine then I'll tell the whole class. Ms. Osroc?" He called "yes Peter" she said not looking up from her phone "can I tell the class a story please?" "As long as it's appropriate I don't care." He smirked at Ashley and stood up in front of the whole class. "So as all of you know, my name is Peter, and I have made worst mistake of my life." The whole class was silent and I could've sworn ms. Osroc was listening. "And in doing so, I lost two of my really good friends. I understand why, and that there is no excuse for what I did. But hear me out. It's only been a day and I can't sleep. All I can think about is kissing Naomi and how wrong and terrible it was. Sorry Naomi." The class chuckled. "But more importantly sorry Jonathan. She was your girlfriend. I was your friend. How could I? How could I have been so stupid? Stupid enough to lose my best friend. And that's pretty stupid. I need my best friend back." "Hey!" Grayson shouted thinking he was peters best friend. we all laughed. I looked over to Jonathan and he was about to crumble. I could tell. "Stay strong," I whispered. Grabbing his hand. He squeezed back. "And Izzie," I swallowed. Wondering what he would say about and to me. "I ruined our date. I ruined our date because I kissed your best friend. But not only that, I lost you as a friend and to me that is the worst thing about this whole situation losing you and Jonathan as friends. And Izzie, I really like you. I like you so much. And as much as I wish were dating, as long as I have you as a friend, I'll be happy." Now it was my turn to be shaky. I squeezed Jonathan's hand, he squeezed back. Our handholding was obviously annoying Peter which made me want to let go and hold on at the same time. "PREACH!" Naomi yelled starting a class wide round of applause. "So for me, just take Peters speech and put his name where my name was and izzies name where Jonathan's was and Jonathan's name where izzies was, I think... Actually screw that. Step down my tall friend." She said talking to Peter. "So I'm sorry I was a jealous psychotic b-" "language Naomi," ms. Osroc stated "fine." Naomi sighed. "Where was I? Oh yeah, Izzie I'm sorry I was such a jealous psychotic bitch you are awesome and I missed u I will never make any of your potential boyfriends kiss me ever again." "You're psychotic." I stated laughing "I'm gonna take that as a it's ok I accept your apology just don't do it again Naomi. Now to J you gotta take me back. I like you. Actually I'm not a pussy like Peter over here." "Hey!" Peter said yelling "i am in between liking you and loving you, I like you so much it shouldn't defined as liking, but not enough to love you." "Wow thanks." Jonathan sarcastically responded. "Well it's the truth. So anyways I can't do that shit that peters doing with the whole I need you as a friend! Blah blah blah. I need you as my bf forever and ever. Cuz I live you! Yay I shipped love and like! K anyways, be my bf I what you as a bf more than a friend but if that's what I have to settle for, I can take it, but no promises that I won't hit on you. Like 2 weeks ago when we first started dating I was like I don't want him to know I like him! It'll ruin our friendship! But now I don't care. Like at all. So even we still aren't speaking, I'm still gonna hit on you. The Mic just got dropped. Back to you Peter." He laughed and then said. " how does one even top that?" We all laughed and they walked back over to us. Ashley hadn't even moved from her spot. She had her arms crossed and looked like she was out to get them. She'd make a good body guard one of these days.. "Also I forgot to add that Peter is a total pussy and softie." Naomi stated to the whole class "Naomi," ms. Osroc scolded "sorry, but the people need to know these things!" Ms osroc laughed and then continued to play her game. "So what do u say sexay thang?" Naomi said towards Jonathan. "Sexay thang?" I asked "well, I got put on the spot!" She said trying to defend herself. I laughed. And gave her a hug. "If you ever do anything like that to me ever again no more chances. Same for you Peter. I can be friends with you. But we are not going to date. I can't trust you for that." I said to them. "I'll take it sexay thang!" I pushed him and started laughing. "J?" Naomi asked. Her tough exterior starting to deteriorate. "Same as what izzie said." "Alright than hot stuff, I'll just have to wait." We all laughed and the gang felt sort of back to normal, ish. "Just remember both of you, anything like that again, and no second chances." "Yes mamm." Naomi stated. "Anything you say babe," Peter said with a wink, I rolled my eyes and laughed. Though I was talking to Peter and Jonathan was talking to Naomi, we still had our hands tangled up together.
