Chapter Ten

The week flies by and before I know it, Thursday is here and I’m going to a party with Lily. She’s been her normal self and inviting herself over like she used to always do, which has been great to see the girl whom I’ve known for so long.

“Is Owen coming tonight?” she asks as I finish getting dressed.

“He said he may show up,” I tell her.

“Okay, I wonder if Evan’s back yet?” she asks, sounding like her old self again.

“No, they have a basketball tournament, he won’t be home for break at all,” I say, surprised she didn’t already know that.

“Oh,” she says, looking confused.

“I doubt he would come home on Thursday to head back to school on Saturday anyway, what would be the point of that?” I ask.

“Good point, that wouldn’t make much sense. I guess I’ll just talk to him when I get back to school.”

“What about?” I ask, curiously.

“I want our friendship to be how it used to be; I miss him being one of my best friends,” she says, looking sorrowful.

“Then talk to him, who knows, maybe you guys can be how you used to be, though, what changed?” I ask, being nosey.

“Me,” she says, looking towards the ground, “I knew he wasn’t interested in me, but I tried anyway and it made things weird between the two of us.”

“Then talk to him,” I say again, though how Evan talked; I wouldn’t have thought they were ever as close as she makes it seem.

“I will. Oh, hey,” she says looking directly at me, “Did you hear about Dani?”

“Hear what?” I ask, with a confused look.

“Rumor around campus is she used to be the biggest whore in high school.”

“How did you hear that?” I ask, knowing I never heard that and Dani hardly dates or talks to many guys, so I don’t see that being true.

“A bunch of guys were talking about it, I guess they went to high school with her and they all fucked her,” she says like it’s no big deal.

“Maybe she was, I don’t know, but she’s definitely not that way now,” I defend.

“Are you sure about that?”

“Yeah, why?” I say, feeling myself getting angry.

“I also heard she tried hitting on Austin,” she says, shocking the hell out of me.

“No, she wouldn’t do that, plus she doesn’t even care for him.”

“Yeah, because apparently he turned her down and threatened to tell you about it,” she says straight faced.

“How do you know this?” I ask, feeling frustrated.

“Word gets around Bay. I just thought you should know.”

“I doubt that’s the case,” I retort. It has me thinking though, because out of nowhere Dani strongly dislikes Austin and I can’t figure out why, but to go after him when she’s one of my really good friends, one of my best friends, is weird and wrong on so many levels. I’ll have to talk to her when I get back to campus and see if I can figure out what the hell is going on and what Lily is talking about.
