GABRIEL***“What about us?” I asked, leaning closer to her. Every part of my body was telling me to stop, to back up, and to walk out but I didn't want to listen to reason. “This,” she said, pulling my head towards her.The statement Harper made that there’s a very thin line between love and hate had never felt as true as it did at that moment. I could feel the lines blurring, but the moment was over as soon as it began. She pushed me off of her.“You have to go,” she said as she turned to face the wall.I didn’t know what to think or feel at that moment. I hadn’t even realized I was holding my breath until she stepped away from me. I took in a deep breath and tried to calm down but my heart could not stop pounding. She was waiting for me to leave. She would not turn around to look at me until I left and I wasn't willing to say as well. I was uncomfortable. I felt guilty. I had done something wrong. I walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. I made my way downstairs a

EMILY***It was Monday. The day I had dreaded the most had arrived. I couldn’t avoid the inevitable much longer. Mom had volunteered to drive me to school early in the morning and I couldn't get out of it. She spent the drive trying to get the same information out of me that she had been trying to get for a whole day: what had happened between Gabriel and me?I had given her the same answer a million times: nothing had happened and she needed to worry about her drinking, not me. I would repeat it for as long as I needed to. I went to my dorm to put my bag of clothes that I had carried home for my Mom to wash then I went for my first class of the day.I had only one class and usually, it was something I liked because it meant I could ease into the week but now I hated it because it meant that all I had was time, time in which I was idle to play and replay what had happened between Gabriel and me in my room on Saturday night. I wished I could turn my brain off.I had gone through almos

GABRIEL***Emily had texted me to tell me that we needed to meet as soon as possible to discuss what had happened. There was nothing to discuss. She probably just wanted to make excuses for herself because she knew I had caught onto her schemes.I was the inventor of the game, of course, I knew it when someone else was playing and she definitely was. It was the only explanation. Why else would someone who hated me suddenly kiss me? What kind of excuse would she try to come up with to save face? As far as I was concerned, I had won that round.It was Monday and I had come to school early for my morning class. I had realized that I was feeling more and more guilty as time went by. What the hell had I done? What was I going to tell Harper? I couldn’t tell her that Emily kissed me, that would just be absurd. I had taken part in it just as much as she had.I was just as guilty. By the time I was halfway through my class the feeling of guilt was overwhelming. I had yet again managed to scr

EMILY***If my hunch was right, the person who had just walked away from the cafe was Tiffany. If it was her, there was only one destination in mind for her after what she had heard. I needed to stop her. I needed to follow her immediately and stop her before she made the whole thing blow up in my face.I wasn’t doing it for Gabriel. I was doing it for myself. I would die if anyone found out what we had done. I would die if Harry found out, especially, because it would prove him right in his theory. The absurd things Gabriel had said up to that point didn’t even matter.Only one thing mattered: stopping Tiffany. I needed to end this conversation and the only way I knew how was to admit defeat. I hated it with all of my beings but it was the only way. I had to swallow my pride. I would regret it later but at least it would be the only thing I would regret. I swallowed my pride and said the words I never thought I'd say to Gabriel.“You’re right.”I hated myself immediately after I d

GABRIEL***My relationship with Harper had gotten to the point where she no longer asked me what was wrong when she saw that I was bothered because of just how frequently it was happening. She knew I was bothered. And I knew she knew I was bothered.Yet she didn’t ask and a part of me was grateful, not only because I should have been trusting enough of her to tell her what was wrong without her asking, but also because I still wasn’t ready to tell her what was wrong. How would I even begin? How would I begin breaking her heart again?It was a day after my conversation with Emily. The plan had been simple: I was supposed to come clean to Harper after my conversation with Emily, but the conversation had ended on a weird note.No, that wasn’t it. I was using her as an excuse. I had lost my courage. I wasn’t ready to look Harper in the face and confirm her worst fear, confirm that she had been right to worry about my relationship with Emily. It would damage her. It would ruin her confide

Bakersville High School***It had been a week since what Emily had decided to call ‘the incident’. Her heart was still beating as fast as it had that day. It was the only thing on her mind. It was all she thought about and all she dreamt about as a result.She was miserable. If she could turn back time she would have acted like everything was fine. she wouldn’t have expressed that anything was wrong. She would have accepted that Gabriel was ignoring her and she would have moved on with her life. She would have told Julie that something was wrong. This is not what she had wanted to happen. At all. And what made it even worse was the fact that Gabriel had done it just to change the topic. That was what hurt worse. It was not genuine, not well-intentioned. It was a game.What hurt even worse was what it meant. It meant that that’s what he thought about her. He thought she was someone he could easily manipulate, someone whose emotions were easy to play with. she was sure he wasn’t think

EMILY***Can we meet today? Need to know what the next move is.I had hoped that ignoring Tiffany would stop her from reaching out to me, and I don't even know why I thought that was the move because all I got was the opposite of the desired effect. She had reached out just a few days after my conversation with Gabriel and the extreme scare I had gotten as a result.I was relieved, still, very relieved in fact but a part of me was still antsy. What if she was there? What if I hadn't seen her but she was there? I knew I was being paranoid but I had legitimate reasons to be afraid of her. I didn’t know what happened between her and Henry but I could guess it was the intimidating way in which she made me scared and made me want to do what she wanted me to do.I was also afraid because I knew I would have to suggest that I would no longer do things the way I was doing them when it came to Gabriel, that I was going to take a step back and focus solely on her revenge. I hoped she would tak

GABRIEL***I couldn’t stop looking at the time. We had agreed to meet at one p.m. at the cafe and it was only two minutes to.What if he didn’t show? What if he had just agreed to meet me to get my hopes up so that he could embarrass me? I knew I deserved it. I wouldn’t even blame him if that was what he had decided to do. If I was being honest, I would have done the same thing if I was in his shoes. Maybe that was why I thought of it. I hoped I wasn’t right. I had texted Harry as soon as I made the decision to make things right so that I didn’t give myself the room to think twice about it. I knew that if I gave myself time my ego would find a way to talk me out of the whole thing. But look where my ego had gotten me. Because of my stupid sense of pride, I ended up kissing someone I had no business kissing and I was now hiding it from my girlfriend because I couldn't stand the thought of being a jerk anymore.What was wrong with me?I wiped my sweaty palms on my jeans as I looked ar
