I was late for school again. I didn't do it on purpose. I was caught up in my mixing and lost track of time. It wasn't the first time that it happened.
When I arrived at school, Stacie was waiting impatiently on me. Apparently something important was going on. Then she told me that Chloe had something to tell me and that we would meet her and Aubrey during lunch. That's all she would say. So the next two hours I was worrying.
Did Chloe regret what happened to us? Was she going to breaking up with me?
When we finally met at lunch I was a mess.
I had prepared myself for the worst. But I wasn't prepared for what she had to say. I was relieved that she wasn't going to leave me. But I wasn't happy about the fact that we had to give an interview. And when I heard who was going to interview us, my blood began to boil.
I wasn't a fan of sharing details about my life. And now we were forced to talk about our private life. And with who! Two girls who were against our lifestyle. I was ready to go to miss Abernathy to say I wouldn't cooperate. But Chloe stopped me. She agreed with miss Abernathy that it could help other kids, although she wasn't happy with Jessica and Ashley interviewing us. But sweet as she is, she wanted us to give them the benefit of the doubt.
So after our last class, Chloe came to pick me up. Hand in hand we walked to the school papers office. I was a little nervous but Chloe squeezed my hand to let me know she was here. She looked at me before knocking on the door.
The door opened and we walked in the office. The two girls who had to interview us didn't look very happy.
They told us to sit down. As we sat down they looked at each other.
"First of all, we wanted to say.." the blonde said.
"That we're not happy to do this interview with you.." the brunette finished.
It was really weird to see how they finished each others sentences. They were stil talking but I zoned out. I didn't care what they had to say.
An "are you ready Beca?" brought me back to reality.
"Uhm. Yeah, dude I'm ready" I said.
As I expected the questions were really stupid. Like how we met. And when our first kiss was.
Lucky for me, Chloe answered most of the questions. I just nodded and agreed with most of what she said. I really didn't feel comfortable to talk with them about my relationship. And it was really awkward to talk to them after what happened last week.
Finally the interview was done. I was ready to get the hell out of here, but we had to do a few photos to go with the interview. That's what you get for zoning out.
The blonde girl was going to take the pictures. She asked us to pose in various ways. And when she was happy with the results, she showed us them. For someone who was against our relationship, she was a surprisingly good photographer. The pictures were absolutely amazing.
We had a word in which pictures we wanted to use. The four of us discussed which one were the best. And to my surprise we agreed rather quickly. Before we left they gave us each a set of the pictures they just took. And they told us that before printing they would sent us a preview so we could change anything if something wasn't right.
I was glad we were finally done with this shit. But to be honest it could have been worse. They had acted very professional and Chloe and I were convinced it would be a great interview.
Chloe and I walked to the parking lot. She was with her own car and I was on my bike. We walked to her car. We kissed before each going our own way, promising to see each other tomorrow.
It had been a week since the interview. We were asked by miss Abernathy to visit the school papers office again.
The interview was ready for printing and they wanted to know if we agreed and gave our permission. We read it and we were both stunned. For girls who didn't agree with our relationship and prayed for our souls, they had done an amazing job. The interview was full of love and the pictures complimented the text. We both agreed and thanked them for the outstanding job they had done.
The two girls looked at each other in confusion. I think they didn't expect us to be thankful after what happened. But it seemed that they were having a silent conversation. It was weird as fuck and suddenly I didn't feel comfortable. I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.
When we left I couldn't help but to tease them.
"By the way girls. You look super cute together. Are you sure you aren't a couple?" I said before leaving them speechless.
Chloe hit my arm but I couldn't help but smirk at her. I realised that I meant what I had said to Jessica and Ashley. Those two were always together. They always finished each others sentences. And they seemed to talk with each other without saying a word. It was really creepy sometimes. Maybe that's why I didn't feel comfortable around them.
