"I say we go back and own it," Jamie shrugged, "show them that you're a bad bitch."

"I don't know," I sighed, "Gina?" She looked at me. I wondered if she was upset about what Jamie said. She's been pretty quiet.

"I agree with Jamie," she said plainly, "call up Sid and let's walk in like bad bitches. It already happened and all you can do now is own it. " She was right. It doesn't matter when I go back, I still have to face the reality of the situation. Jamie called Sid and told him to meet us at Gina's car. Jamie said he didn't know which one it was, so she went to the school entrance to meet him.

"Gina?" I touched her arm.

"Hmm?" She responded.

"Are you upset?" I said quietly. She was a hard person to read.

"I'm not," she opened her eyes, "I just don't do stressful situations really well." I smiled and gave her hand a squeeze. She smiled back at me and we got out of the car.

Jamie decided that we should walk in holding hands. So Gina was on the end, I was on her left, Jamie was on my left and Sid was on the other end. We walked in confidently and all eyes were on us. Some looked disgusted, others stared in amazement or shock. I only had class with Gina this morning, so we went to our first class.

This was the millionth time I called my boss and I kept getting the answering machine. I can't believe this was happening. I just wanted to get a little extra cash to ease up the bills and this happens.

How am I going to explain this to Alex. I received a text message from an unknown number saying:

What the fuck? Who sent this?

On my way to work, I received news that Aurora was fired. What the hell? I didn't mean to get her fired. I meant for her to be demoted. What made the boss fire her? The video must have been pretty damaging for the company, so he decided to cut her. She's never done anything reckless before, so I didn't think she'd get fired. Shit. I've made a mess.

Gina and I took two seats next to each other. I finally had a moment to admire her. She was wearing a white shirt with a navy-blue pleated skirt. We were practically matching, except she looked drop-dead gorgeous. She noticed me staring and made a funny face.

"You idiot," I laughed.

"Listen up students," the teacher said, entering the classroom, "It has been brought to the school's attention that there has been a video circulating about one of our student's parent. The student shall not be named but no student is allowed to belittle that particular student. Anyone who disregards this warning, will be sent directly to the principal's office. You will be reprimanded accordingly for your actions."

The class fell dead silent but everyone was staring at me. Gina touched my foot under the desk and muttered to look away from them. I listened and started to take out my books.

This is gonna be a crappy day.

Gina and I met up with Sid and Jamie at lunch. We sat in Jamie's Audi to have lunch this time.

"How has it been?" Sid asked.

"The teacher made a statement that they're reprimanding anyone who basically makes fun of the situation," I said while stuffing my face. I didn't realize how hungry I was.

"So did you know about this?" Sid interrogated.

"I found out yesterday when I went out with Gina," I explained, "she took me to a club."

"Great choice for a date, Gina," Sid laughed. She chuckled halfheartedly along with him, "so who's an item?" We all looked at each other before anyone answered.

"I've decided to date them both," I declared.

"You decided," Jamie eyed me, "but I didn't agree." A look of irritation passed across Gina's face. What's gotten into her today.

"Jamie," I started.

"It's true, Alex," she rolled her eyes, "only Gina agreed with you."

"This sounds like a conversation the two of you need to have," Sid stated, "who's a lesbian?"

"I'm fluid," Gina said matter-of-factly.

"I'm bisexual," Jamie mumbled.

"I don't know what I am yet," I mumbled confused. Everyone already seemed to know what they were about and I was behind struggling.

"It's okay to not know," Gina looked at me reassuringly, "just work on figuring it out."

"I'm unapologetically gay," Sid smiled and we all laughed, "So Gina is a part of our squad now?"

"I guess," Jamie grumbled.

"I love you too," Gina kissed Jamie on her cheek.

"GROSS!" Jamie wiped her face and we couldn't help but laugh at her reaction.
