I had taken a sense of pride with my ability to avoid Beth.

Which was maybe the wrong thing to do. But I was still taking it all in. I believed everything Gi and Iris told me. And the fact that they did tell me, bringing me closer to them, well, it meant I needed to do what was the right thing for our friendship. Even though I had nothing to do with Iris and Bray, it was obviously the biggest moment in Iris’s life and shaped her into who she was today.

There were grapes in my locker.

I shook my head but not before sneaking a grape because they were delicious.

I shut my locker, turned, and was face to face with Beth.

My heart didn’t pick up speed. My heart didn’t drop either.

I almost looked at Beth like she was a stranger. Because in a way that’s what she was. We never hung out outside of BFH. I never got to really know her. She came to me for a favor about Denny only because she thought I could convince the Rulz to beat him up. That was it. We weren’t friends. Then. Or now.

“Ti?” she asked.

“Beth.”

She shook her head. “Please don’t buy into it.”

“Nothing to buy into,” I said. “I wasn’t here for anything.”

“But you believe it.”

“Believe what, Beth?” I asked.

“Ti…”

“I better get going,” I said. “Don’t want to be late.”

“Just give me a minute,” Beth pleaded. “Just one minute.”

I gritted my teeth. “Bathroom.”

I walked faster than Beth. I didn’t want to be seen walking next to her and have anything seem the wrong way.

In the bathroom, I leaned against the sink, arms folded, and waited.

Beth started to pace, playing with her hands. That right there told me she was about to lie.

Bitch.

Here I was, judging her before she spoke.

I was BFH now.

“You heard,” she said.

“Doesn’t matter what I heard,” I said.

“You’re taking their side.”

“There are no sides.”

“Yeah there are,” Beth said. “Oh, because you hate Denny that means you hate me?”

I shook my head. “Never said that.”

“You think me and him don’t belong together.”

“Again, I never said that.”

“I didn’t mean for anything to happen,” Beth said. “Young and stupid.”

“Meaning what I know is true.”

“Not the story. I didn’t mean to cause problems. I knew Iris wrote that letter. And I thought she was afraid to take it to Bray. It was supposed to help them stay together.”

“But somehow you fucked him?” I asked.

“Wow. What a way to say it.”

“Well, what was it?”

“He was hurt,” Beth said. “That doesn’t make it right. And I was hurt. Those two together… Gi and Iris… they have a way of just… I don’t know. It’s like they just stick together and forget everyone else. You know that’s true. You’ve seen it and felt it. Right?”

I didn’t respond. I should have lied and said no.

But I understood what Beth meant.

Gi and Iris were always super close.

“It wasn’t just about Bray moving away,” Beth said. “There were problems before that. Bray was done. That doesn’t mean what I did was right.
