16. Matt

"So what exactly happened Friday?"

"What do you mean?" Dani asks confused.

"You ditched me." I tell her.

"OMG Matt I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to I was out with Troy and Emily, trying to get some things off my mind you know."

"Hope you didn't have fun without me."

"Definitely not." She answers a little too fast, and it makes me think she's hiding something. "When the hell did this happen!" She almost screams as she looks at Troy and Gabriella kissing. She storms over to them and I follow. "What the hell is this?"

"What does it look like?" Troy asks, giving us both a confused look.

"Since when?" Dani asks.

"Like you care!" Gabby says.

"In a matter of fact I do!" Dani tells her.

"Why because you didn't get to him first, oh wait..!"

"What does she mean?" I ask confused I have no idea what's going on here.

"Oh she didn't tell you?" Gabriella asks. "Apparently your what so ever, I'm not sure what the two of you are - had sex with Troy!"

Troy gives me a look that tells me he's sorry. But I don't really know what to think of it all. I give Dani a weird look. "You did what?"

We then all receive a text at the same time. –Troy and Dani had sex, poor Matt.

"How does everyone know!" Dani almost screams and then we all look around to see people starring at us. It seems like people have heard our conversation.

"Thanks a lot Brie!" Dani says sarcastically.

"You very welcome!" Gabby tells her.

"I think we should leave!" Troy tells Gabby.

"I'm not finished with her Troy! And you sure have some explaining to do!" Dani screams as they walk down the hall.

I look at Dani. "What the hell, you slept with him!"

"Why is everybody mad at me? He did this too you know!"

"But I thought we had something!"

"Can we please not talk about this now!" She says and I see tears forming in her eyes. I'm not sure if it's just a trick to get what she wants or if she actually is sad about the whole situation.

I drag her with me until we get to an empty hall. "Then speak now."

"We were drunk. And were annoyed about being grounded! Which I did because I tried to help Gabby!"

"Maybe but that doesn't make the sex part okay!"

"I know that!" She cries.

"Then why did you do it?"

"I don't know okay! It's hard enough that Gabby hates me. I can't take you hating me as well!"

"I still can't believe you would do this!"

"And I can't believe that everybody thinks this is my fault! Just because I'm a girl it's like you think higher of me! Well that isn't fair! I'm no worse than Troy in all this! And still you all blame me! He even got together with my sister because of it! You know what, she won't even talk to me because of what happened. I'm such a bad person right? And he's just cute and charming and nothing's ever his fault! You know what I can't do this!"

"What do you mean?" I'm confused.

She wipes away her tears. "This! Everybody being mad at me! It's not fair. I made a mistake yes! But people don't have to rub it in my face all the time!" She storms out and I don't know what to think of any of it. I'm on my way to class when I see my dad handing some money to a man. I have no idea who he is. "You know I'm really sorry about this!" He tells my dad. "I never thought it would come to this!"

I'm really confused by this. Who the hell is this person? And what is he doing with my dad? In history class I learn who this person is. Apparently he is my new history teacher. But that still doesn't explain why my dad is giving him money. When school's over I find Lola maybe she knows something. "Lol do you know the new history teacher?"

She shakes her head. "No why?"

"It's just dad..Well never mind. I'll probably just ask him myself." But I should never have mentioned it to Lola, because she can't let it go.

"C'mon tell me what's going on?"

"It's nothing!" I try to assure her, but she isn't letting it go. So I change the subject.

"Did you know Dani and Troy had sex?" I ask.

"Yes everyone does! Don't try to change the subject!"

"Well then did you know Dani and Gabby is fighting and Gabby and Troy are together now?"

"They are what? No way, she would have told me!" I point at Gabby and Troy holding hands and I suppose she believes me.

"Well it's about time!" She tells me. "Now tell me what's going on with dad and the history teacher?"

"Look there's Kyle!" I say and point behind her, I then run to my car and hear her yell at me. "You suck!"

As I get in to the car and drive off, I can't help but think about the thing with my dad. And I think I might have been a little too harsh on Dani. At least I should be mad at Troy as well. After all he did this too.
