Secrets

Kelsi scribbled furiously away at her latest composition, engrossed as the notes slowly made their way onto the paper. She frowned slightly, biting her lip in concentration as she practiced out a few of the chords on the piano, stopping occasionally to fix a mistake and trying desperately to ignore the feel of her roommate's eyes on the back of her head.

"Hey, Kels," Bekah started conversationally, stepping forward to read the words over her shoulders, "we're friends, right?"

Kelsi nodded absentmindedly as she tested out a string of notes. "Of course."

"And friends tell each other secrets, right?"

That made Kelsi pause, and she turned around to face Bekah as she nodded slowly. "Uh... yeah. I guess so."

Bekah's face brightened as she pulled up a stool to sit next to her. "Oh, great! Then tell me--are you and Ryan a thing?"

Kelsi shot her a bemused expression, laughing a little to herself. "A what?"

"You know," Bekah waved her hand mock-flippantly, "a thing. An item. Together."

"Oh," Kelsi rolled her eyes in return, "that kind of thing."

Bekah nodded enthusiastically, her grin spreading widely over her face, "Well?" Kelsi offered her a half-shrug, rolling her pencil between her fingers.

"We went to our senior prom together."

Bekah drew in a breath, leaning in even closer as she whispered loudly, "Did he kiss you goodnight!?"

Kelsi shook her head slowly in amusement, a smirk crossing over her face despite herself as she responded, "Bek, you know that girls shouldn't kiss and tell."

"Oh, there was so kissing!"

Kelsi turned back to her music as her roommate rambled on, letting her believe whatever the romantic inside of her wanted to believe. Prom, opening night of Senior Year... Bekah didn't really need the specifics.

Besides, she figured, maybe this was one secret that wasn't meant to be shared with the world.

Okay, so no direct Kelsi/Ryan action in this one, but I kind of wanted to bring Rebekah back into the mix. And we all know we girlies like to share our secrets. :) Except, apparently, Kelsi.

So, yeah, this drabble kind of ties in with my "Last Chance" one-shot, with the whole first (and, at this stage, only kiss) being at the end of the first performance of Senior Year. I kind of liked the idea that they hadn't told anyone, and it was kind of just a secret between the two of them. So yeah. :) It's 314 words.

I hope you liked it, and please review! Thanks to all the reviewers so far. :D I love you guys.
