checked myself in the mirror to see how they looked. Perfect. I grabbed my phone and lay down on the bed messing my hair around and snapping a couple of pictures from above, I decided to do a cheeky one and tuck the fingers of my free hand into the top of my panties. Again I questioned my sanity as I hit the send button. I’d never done anything like what I’d done in those couple of hours! Oh well, too late now. If I’m going to Hell I may as well do it in style. I held my phone nervously as I waited for his reply.
    From Jamie: WOW! just … WOW!
    I quickly threw on some jeans and a t -shirt and ran down stairs. Just as I got to the bottom, Lily knocked on the door.
    “ Hey!” I plastered a grin on my face and hoped she didn’t notice how on edge I was. She gave me one of her big smiles back, while rattling a bag in my face.
    “ I brought a film and popcorn!” She beamed at me.
    “ Cool, you set the film up and I’ll go make the popcorn” I smiled at her as I took the bag. I was thankful that she’d brought a film over as I wasn’t sure I could concentrate enough on conversation or revision. I made the popcorn, quickly ordered a pizza for us to share and grabbed a few more snacks and drinks before heading back to the living room.
    “ So what film did you pick?” I opened my can and took a sip of the cool coke, wondering if it would cool me down enough to relax if I drank it all down.
    “ Fatal Attraction ” She announced with a wry smile as I choked on my drink.
    “ Why?” I spluttered between coughs. She gave me her ‘are you serious?’ look. “What?”
    “ Come on! Don’t hold out on me Olivia!”
    “ With what?” My stomach flipped, there was no way she could possibly know about anything that had happened earlier on. Was there?
    “ I heard a little rumour that a certain hottie teacher gave a certain someone a ride home yesterday.” She raised an eyebrow at me and I blushed.
    “ And?” She sat up and folded her arms over her chest, pushing her tongue into her cheek just begging for me to come up with a viable excuse. “I was sick and I was asleep ‘til like half three so he was just being nice.” I smiled at her hoping she’d leave it at that. “Now are you going to press play or are we going to watch ‘DVD’ bobbing around the screen all night?” Lily sighed and pressed play.
    “ So what happened? What did he say to you?”
    “ Are you not going to drop this at all? There is nothing to say! I was asleep remember?” She was like a dog with a bone when she got her teeth into something.
    “ If there was nothing to say you would have called me last night to tell me about him dropping you home or told me in school this morning at least!” I sighed heavily, she was right.
    “ I was sick last night; I came home and went straight to bed. I still never felt too good this morning so it slipped my mind.” I tried my best to sound as convincing as I could.
    “ Something like Mr Matthews dropping you home does NOT. SLIP. YOUR. MIND Olivia Grace Stevens”
    “ It was nothing, I was ill and he let me sit in his class as registration was locked, I put my head down for a minute and fell asleep. He sorted out Mr Wilson so I didn’t have to go to art and then offered to take me home when I woke up because I live on his way home. See. Nothing.” I defiantly refused to look her in the eye and folded my arms across my chest defensively.
    “ Hmm… You’re hiding something missy and I WILL find out what it is. I may just ask him tomorrow.” She gave me her smug face, she crossed her ankles up on the coffee table and folded her arms back over her chest; determination washed over her face as I watched a plan unfolded behind her eyes.
    “ NO!” I leaped up and turned around to face her. Shit. I should have just let her be.
    “ Ah ha! I knew there was something! Spill it Stevens!” Lily bounced up from her position and seated herself on the very edge of the sofa, excitement brimming from her
