I am currently in Math class, having changed my schedule cuz of how much I hate gym.
I looked around and sighed in relief when I remembered James had changed out of gym.
At least I would have a short while where nobody would be worrying about me or asking was I alright.
I hated lying to James, more than I hated lying to my mom.
I loved him I really did. I was just afraid. This was the only thing I had ever kept from him and I could tell he knew something was up, but he wasn't pressuring me to tell him, which only made me love him more. I could see how much he trusted me, he showed me everyday.
I sighed and headed to my english class.
I took my seat by the window and smiled when I saw James come in and take his seat.
The novel we were studying was focused around a situation like mine. A girl was abused at home and she kept it a secret.
It felt like reading a story about myself.
"Ok class, as we all know Tina has been wanting to confide in someone. who do you think she can turn too?" Our teacher asked half way trough the class and getting everyone's attention.
"Well she has a boyfriend so maybe she should confide in him" A girl up the front suggested making our teacher nod.
"But maybe she's afraid he'll leave if she tells him" I said surprising everyone, including myself. I never spoke up in class. I gulped when our teacher looked over at me.
"That's an interesting thought Catherine. Why would the girl be afraid of him leaving do you think?"
I gulped and fidgeted with my pen as I answered "Maybe because she feels like she no longer deserves him. Maybe she's afraid he will think badly of her and will leave her. And.. clearly she needs him so telling him would only make things worse."
Our teacher nodded and looked around "Has anyone got any thought on Catherine's idea?"
I gulped nervously and glanced at James not sure if I wanted to know what he was thinking.
OOC: I am SO SORRY guys. Things got really crazy on me here and I wasn't able to get online. I'm sorry I didn't get to even tell you in advance. Hope you are all still interested in this rp. Sorry again
