EMILY *** “I’m so sorry you have to go through this,” I said to Harper as we waited for Harry and Gabriel. It was the very next weekend, and Harper and I had managed to convince Harry and Gabriel to go on the hike with us. Harry was fairly easy to convince and if he saw right through me to the fact that I was trying to make it up to him for the ruined date, he did not mention it. I was thankful that he didn’t. I could do without the guilt of it. I had suffered for long enough. I had spent the whole week after our date feeling guilty, not because of what Gabriel and I had done but because of what it had implied. I was afraid of what Harry really thought. Worse, I was afraid of Harper. What if they didn’t see it as me standing up for myself, but they saw the discomfort as something else entirely? What if they questioned why he was making me uncomfortable? I knew that I didn't know how to hide my feelings, so I was sure someone if not everyone in the room had seen through me, and my

EMILY *** Harry was on the ground, feeling sorry for himself. “I should have stretched before we started climbing. I’m sorry guys,” he said. The three of us were standing over him, wondering what was next. He had sprained his ankle and couldn’t stand or move. It was unfortunate, but he had saved me from Harper and her questions. I couldn’t show it, but I was relieved. I couldn’t thank him for it either, but I was thankful. “I guess that’s the end of our hike,” Gabriel said. He looked genuinely disappointed that it was ending so soon. “How do we get him down there?” Harper asked. I should have asked the question as his girlfriend to show a little bit of concern but I was too stunned to speak. Harper’s question still rang loud in my head. Did you two ever date in the past? I was right. At least one person had seen through me and it was her. Now that it had happened, now that she had confronted me, I didn’t know what to do. She didn’t seem like the type of person to ignore thi

GABRIEL***“Thanks, man,” Harry said as I helped him onto his bed.“Don’t mention it,” I said. I made sure he was comfortable in his bed and that he had everything he needed so that he didn’t have to limp around the room.“Will that be all?” I asked after I made sure he was as comfortable as possible.“I’m so sorry for ruining the hike,” he said.“It’s the perfect payback for how I ruined the bowling date,” I said and smiled.“Thanks again, and thanks for driving us here, too,” he said.“Stop saying ‘thanks’. You’re making things weird,” I said, making my way to the door. “See you tomorrow,” he said as I walked out of his room.I was walking towards my room when my phone buzzed. It was a call from Harper.“Are you too tired or can I see you for a minute?” she asked when I answered.“Where are you? I'll come to you,” I said, turning around.“Meet me at the statue,” she said.I hung up and made my way toward the statue and for a moment I have tempted to text Emily and ask her if her

(Bakersville middle school)***“Is it true that you and Gabriel kissed at Ashley Brown’s party?” Julie asked.Emily was stunned. Her eyes went wide in shock and she felt her knees go weak.Julie had ushered her into the library during their lunch break, claiming that she had a secret to tell her. Emily was hoping that she was telling her about her own kiss that she had had at the party so that she could tell her about hers and that she felt less alone.She had wanted to share it with Julie herself but what Gabriel had told her had left her feeling embarrassed. How was she supposed to tell her that her first kiss had been a fake? A dare? A game? But now she didn’t have to tell her and that scared Emily more because it meant that her fears were true. Julie clearly hadn’t heard it from Gabriel, which meant that it was just as she had suspected. It was either that Gabriel had told the other kids or worse, the kids who had dared Gabriel had been standing at the door that whole time, watch

EMILY***My knee only began to hurt after Gabriel pointed it out. I hadn’t even noticed that I had gotten hurt. I was too busy trying to run away from Harper before she saw right through me again.I was in the dorm and had taken a shower and was disinfecting the wound that had appeared on my knee and I couldn't help but worry as I did it. Had Harper noticed my knee? Had she known that it was the reason why Gabriel offered to drive? I didn’t have to worry about Harry. I was sure he had no idea what was going on. He was in too much pain.I hated the feeling of walking on eggshells around Harper. She proved herself to be observant and it scared me. She would end up being the reason why I broke up with Harry, especially if she decided to ask me these questions in public. I couldn’t wait for it to happen. We would just have to stop going on these double dates. I would tell Harry and I would also tell Gabriel just in case Harry needed more convincing.If there was anything to be thankful f

GABRIEL***“It’s the same person,” I said, pacing around my room.We’d chosen to go to my room instead of Emily’s because her roommate did not seem happy about the fact that I had gone knocking at their door. It wasn’t even late but she seemed to want to turn in early so we left.Emily was seated in the chair at my desk. She looked shaken. She had been concerned when she got her own message but when she saw mine she couldn’t even handle it.It didn’t even matter that I didn't know what happened to Emily in high school. It didn’t matter if I never even knew, what mattered now was the fact that we needed to find whoever had sent these messages to us before it was too late. Emily needed to be safe. She had moved here for a reason and I wasn't going to let that person ruin her new start for her. I had already done that by simply being here.“What do they want?” Emily asked, “there must be a reason why they sent our messages to each other instead of directly.”“But what could that reason

EMILY***I know what happened to Emily in high school and I am going to expose it to the whole school.That statement had been ringing in my mind ever since Gabriel showed me the message. There was someone who knew about what happened to me in high school, the reason why I moved to Cresswell just before my senior year. But that’s not what fazed me. I was sure there were people who knew outside of my family and Gabriel. What shook me to my core was the fact that they were going to expose me to the whole school.It had taken all of my strength to walk from my dorm to Gabriel’s after he had shown me that text. I felt like my legs wanted to give way under me. I wanted them to give way, them and the ground beneath my feet, because I could not imagine being the topic of attention. I could not imagine people knowing what I had kept to myself for years, something that I hadn't even told Harry. We went to Gabriel’s room and I tried to be as cooperative as I could but I was scared. I wanted t

GABRIEL***It’s not that simple. I will tell you what I want when I want to tell you. All I want for now is to watch you squirm in fear.I didn’t think that I would have been able to fall asleep considering the circumstances, but I had. Talking to Emily had given me a strange sense of peace. It felt just like old times, except this time I wasn't protecting her from myself.I didn’t know if the same memory came to mind for her when I said I would protect her. For me, it was the memory of the day when the people in school were making fun of her for our kiss. That had been all my fault. I had been stupid enough, not only to take a dare from boys who didn’t know better but also to allow them to make fun of Emily in the way that they had done.I had corrected my mistake, but the memory had stuck with me. Haunted me. She wouldn’t need protecting if I hadn’t taken the stupid dare in the first place. Essentially, I was protecting her from the consequences of my own actions. Was it the same t

EMILY***"You guys knew about it, didn’t you?" I asked Nila and Julie who were suddenly awfully quiet when Gabriel walked in."Who, me? I have no idea what you're talking about?" Nila asked while holding her hands to her chest in mock surprise.We all laughed."I won't lie and say I didn't know. In fact, I had a meeting with him to make sure he had changed for good," Julie said.She was always so intense. I loved it."Thanks for looking out for me," I said to her."You know I got you. Always," she said.

GABRIEL***"We're home," Mom said as she opened the door to our house.She dumped her bag onto the living room floor and went around every room as if she was announcing her presence. I shook my head. I knew she had forgotten all about it and so I picked it up and carried it to her room before I went to mine.It felt good to be back. It had been a great year, a year I would never forget but being home felt great. It felt like a sigh of relief. I had made it back. I had done it. My mother and I had chosen to relocate temporarily because it felt like a good idea to just start over in a place that was unplugged and away from real life and all the responsibilities that real life demanded from us.It had been healing to be in a place where no one kn

EMILY***“We’re gonna be late,” Nila said to me.“Just a minute,” I said as I put the finishing touches on my outfit.I was a perfectionist in everything my dressing included. Besides, today was a special day for someone special to me and I needed to look the part.“Okay, I'm ready,” I said as I turned to face Nila, “how do I look?” I asked.“You look.. Stunning,” she said, “you look really great.”“Thank you, you do too,” I said to her and she curtsied and smiled.

THE END(Bakersville High school)“Emily doesn’t want to see you right now,” Terry said to Gabriel and he could tell by the tone of her voice that she didn’t want to see him too.He still didn’t know what he had done. Was this still about the stupid argument they had had that past weekend? He wanted to believe that that was what it was but something felt incredibly off.Something very bad had happened but he had no idea what it was and he had no way of finding out either because Emily wouldn’t see him. She wouldn’t pick up his calls or answer his texts either.

EMILY***“See you on the weekend,” Mom said as she dropped me off in the parking lot.“See you,” I said as I got out of the car. I watched her drive off before I walked to my dorm room.I had a new roommate because it was part of the school rules to change roommates at the beginning of every academic year. Nila and I had hoped and prayed that fate would let us meet again as roommates but that hadn’t been the case.It almost didn’t matter, though, because we remained good friends who were always together around the school. It had been months since the school year started. In fact, it was closer to the end now than it was in the beginning. The semester in which Gabriel felt like it was ages ago- it was almost

GABRIEL **** “I heard that you were leaving,” Emily said. “At the end of the semester, yes,” I said. “What?” she asked, turning red, “I came running over because Harry made it sound like you were leaving today!” I laughed. “He probably did that on purpose,” I said, “I should thank him for that.” “We should thank him for that,” she said, “it’s about time we had this conversation anyways.” “Yeah,” I said, “I was going to save it for last but I guess now is just as great, considering you ran over and everything,” I

EMILY***“Are you sure you’re okay?” mom asked as she helped me pick up my last bag from her trunk.“I’m sure, Mom,” I said, “plus there are only a few days left until the end of the semester and I'll be back home.”“I’m only letting you go because you have finals,” she said and I couldn’t help but smile.My parents had been watching over me more carefully than ever since I went back home and it had become suffocating- I used the fact that finals were ongoing to free myself and go back to school. I just needed a few days.&ld

GABRIEL***“I think you already know what I’m going to say,” I said to Harper who was seated across from me.She was crying.“I do,” she said as she sniffled.“I am sorry for all the hurt I've caused you. I shouldn’t have dated you when I knew I had so much baggage. I only hope that you’ll find someone who will be easy to love, someone who won’t cause you as much heartbreak and pain as I have,” I said.“I’m sorry too, to you as well as to Emily. I shouldn’t have let my insecurities control me.”“I shouldn’t have pu

EMILY***“Dinner’s ready,” my Mom said, snapping me out of my thoughts.It seemed she had been standing there for a while, watching me, and I hadn’t even noticed.“I’ll be right down,” I said, and she smiled at me before she left.I had been home for the past three days. My parents had gotten wind of the news and they had come to pick me up in the evening after I talked to Harry. Final exams were ongoing, and I had been against the idea of being at home but my parents had insisted.I had appreciated the rest and being away from what had happened for the first few days, but now I wanted to go back to school. Doing nothing all day did not sit we
