Jessica's POV

"I'm so sorry Simon." I blurt out as we stand in the middle of a quiet, empty corridor. "So, you already know what this is about?" He asks as he crosses his arms. "Yeah. And, I'm sorry, okay!" I yell. "Why'd you tell her?" He asks as he leans against the nearby lockers. "Well, she felt lied to, and I felt so bad. I mean, she's my bestfriend Si. I couldn't keep lying to her. Plus, she would've found out soon anyway!" I explain as tears fill my eyes, making my vision blurred.

Footsteps make their way over to me. I just stand there and sob out of guilt. "Hey, it's okay." Simon says softly as he wraps his arms around me. I don't say anything. I just sob into his chest.

"I'm sorry. Truly, I am." I sob. He makes me look up at him. He wipes away my tears with his thumb. "It's okay, baby." He says softly. "Is it though?" I ask. He nods, "Yes, it is." He says. "Okay." I mutter, almost like a whisper.

Simon's POV

"I love you." I smile down at her. "I love you too." She says. I smile as I plant a small, quick kiss onto her forehead. "Now, go and clean yourself up." I say as we pull away from the hug. "Okay." She nods. We then walk down the corridor together before going our separate ways; I turn right to go back to my office and she goes left to the girls toilets to clean herself up.

As I'm walking back to my office, I message Vik to tell him that she - Jessica - is just sorting herself out before going back.

Jessica's POV

I walk into the girls toilets and look in the mirror. My makeup is a mess, thanks to me crying. I sigh as I turn on the cold water tap at the nearby sink. "Fuck it." I mutter before splashing cold water into my face. I then rush to the nearby toilet stall and grab a lot of tissue to help dry my face. Once my face is dry, I look in the mirror to make sure that I don't look like a fucking panda.

Once happy, I throw the tissues away before heading back to class.

I walk back into class and everyone looks at me. I look over at Vik and he just nods at me. I nod back before rushing back to my seat, next to Layla.
