OOO

She ran away.

I did not expect that.

If I'd thought about it beforehand which I clearly hadn't, I would have thought that she would insist on parading me around with her, holding hands or something equally humiliating. Instead, she just took off.

When she asked me to close my eyes, I didn't, because I had a sudden flash of paranoid delusion about her taking photos to post on facebook or something so as soon as the door opened I was on my feet, ready to cover my face or hit someone. I caught a glimpse of someone in red with long darkish hair dashing out the door and that was it.

I am so thrown that I scrabble around in the dark for a bit looking for my shirt before I realize that there is almost certainly a light. I open the door slightly, find the light switch and spot my shirt immediately where it must have landed on one of the shelves. Stepping over to pick it up I just have to cringe because of the slimy sensation in my underwear. Ugh. I need to get to the bathroom.

I check that the corridor is clear before leaving because my paranoia is growing all the time and walk down the hall to the boys' bathroom. I've got the choice between wearing the wet patch that remains after I do my best to clean up with the toilet paper or going commando. I decide to stick with the wet patch.

I slide into my seat next to Jasper in Trig. "Where the fuck have you been all lunchtime?" he asks me. What the fuck? "I did what you told me to do, asshole!" I hiss back to him. "I met Jessica in the fucking cupboard". "No you didn't" he says calmly.

I'm obviously still not myself because I have a sudden desire to hit him. "What the fuck are you talking about, shithead?" I continue a little incoherently. "Why are you being such a dick? I was there". My whispers are about as loud as normal speaking at this point. Jasper frowns at me, looks around quickly and then leans over and speaks in a quiet voice.

"Jessica walked into a door and spent lunchtime with the school nurse. She's still there. When we heard about it, Emmett and I went looking for you. We went past the janitor's closet but it was locked. Where did you go? Don't tell me you sat there the whole lunchtime in a dark closet on your own?"

Asshole is smirking at me but I ignore it because I'm so shocked at what he said. I process the information for a few seconds and then give him my considered response. "Bullshit".

He gives me his wide-eyed innocent face. The teacher starts calling for us to take out our books and begins to demonstrate something on the board. I'm staring sightlessly. Could Jasper's story be true?

I drift through the whole class, hassling Jasper for information when we're supposed to be working on problems and staring blankly at the board during the teacher's explanations. Jas continues to stick to his story. He and Emmett went back to the cafeteria after leaving me. They met Alice and Rose who had heard from Irina about Jess and her bleeding nose. Later, Emmett heard from one of his football buddies who had gone to the nurse to replace a bandage, that she was still there through most of lunch. They came up to the cupboard to find me but it was locked. Well, that part was true.

I don't know what to think. If Jasper is not shitting me then my closet encounter with Jessica was not with Jessica at all. But who the hell could it have been? Who did I just get so close with that I'm pretty sure I made her cum? Who was that close to me? I'm feeling shaky and I'm not sure why. I can't believe that a complete stranger deceived me like that.

At the end of the lesson, Jasper stops me. "You look kind of freaked out" he says. "What the hell happened?" I shake him off, telling him I'll talk to him later. I've got to get my head straight. It's no big deal, right? It's not like I had sex with her, whoever she was. Doesn't this sort of thing happen to James Bond all the time?

I'm still confused and I'm feeling anxious. I'm glad Biology is next because it's one of my favourite classes.
