Claire

"I can't believe her." I fumed to Andy as he drove us home from school. My mind kept replaying the entire conversation with Jupiter like it was a fever dream I couldn't escape. I would have thought that Seb's brainwashing of her ended the moment she broke up with him, that she would finally see through his lies, but no.

"Well, she knows the truth now," Andy says calmly, trying to defuse my mood, but that just adds insult to injury.

"If she had just come and asked me, instead of believing her controlling boyfriend, then she would have known the truth a lot sooner." I scoff, crossing my arms around my waist to try to hold my anger in. "We used to make fun of those girls who would get a boyfriend and then just be all about him, then she became one herself."

"Maybe she was scared to go against him." Andy rationalises, refusing to join me in my anger. "Look at how easily Seb and Kyle messed with Nate's drug test and got him suspended from the team. If he can do that to a friend, the

    AndyThe clock on the wall, in the assembly hall, marked every second that passed by so loudly, like a bomb that was counting down. I wondered if it was only me who was getting distracted by the haunting tick, tick, tick as the time was slipping away. My hand was beginning to hurt from writing nonstop for the last two and a half hours, but I had to push through the pain and complete the exam.Claire was seated in front of me, and I'd stolen glances at the back of her head throughout the entire exam. She hadn't stopped; her hand was working like crazy, scribbling on the page in front of her. She doubts her essay writing skills, and she really shouldn't, because she nails every point the question asks each time, providing in-depth details and tying it all together brilliantly. I wish I could remind her in this very moment how amazing she is, but I just had to hope that she paid attention to my pep talk before we walked into the exam.I didn't think I'd be so nervous, seeing as this is m

    ClaireI tidy my hair, pulling the loose strands back into my ponytail as Andy throws his pants back on and grabs some paper towels and kitchen spray to clean over the chair we just fucked on, wiping away any evidence. He throws the paper towel in the small garbage bin in the kitchen just as the front door opens and Gabby walks in, still wearing the same dress she had on last night but carrying her heels."Oh my goodness, what smells so amazing in here?" She asks in a sing-song, I'm so fucking happy, voice. Yep, she broke her own rules, I can tell. There's only one thing that makes Gabby this cheery."Sex," Andy answers her with a straight face, and I nudge him in the ribs, giving him a look of murder. "Just kidding, it's banana muffins, Claire baked them."The timer on my phone goes off, and Andy opens the oven door and, with a mitted hand, pulls the muffin pan from the oven and places it on the wooden chopping board. The sweet aroma fills the kitchen and wafts out into the downstair

    ClaireWhen Andy suggested a study date at his house, promising that we'd have peace and quiet because his parents would be down in Sydney for the day, visiting his oldest sister, I thought it was a great idea. Andy insisted that we study in his bedroom, stating that he didn't want to have to cart all his books downstairs, but there was no room on his desk, so we had to set up our study session on his bed.I lay on my stomach at the opposite end of his bed and propped my books up on the wooden bed frame so that I was able to read them easily. I started with maths, following the practice paper we'd been given, while Andy lay beside me, working through his PEHPD practice paper. I was breezing through the questions, which made me realise I was wasting my time studying for a subject that I knew I was going to ace, so I decided to move along to English, focusing on the practice essay writing, which I knew would be where I'd struggle the most.I'd read the practice essay question three time

    GabbyInside the restaurant, we are shown to our booth and handed some menus, not that I bother looking over mine, I'll be having my usual. The waitress returns to our table with a bottle of Chardonnay and two glasses. She opens the bottle and pours us each a glass before leaving with our order..The conversation flows seamlessly between us, as if we've known each other forever. Nate tells me about how his parents are divorced, his mum lives in Sydney, and he lives with his dad in a two-bedroom house not far from my own. I feel so comfortable with him, and I don't want the date to end, so when the waitress returns to collect our empty plates, I suggest we order dessert, just to keep the date going longer.While Nate browses the menu, I look around the crowded restaurant and almost spit my wine out when I see two very familiar faces walk in the door."Don't look, but Jupiter and Sebastian just walked in," I warn Nate, who looks up from the menu but doesn't turn around. I watch as the h

    GabbyStepping out of Claire's walk-in wardrobe in my brand new, black, strapless cocktail dress, I did a twirl just to show it off. I felt like a princess, all the guilt I had from paying way too much for a new dress, shoes and make-up vanished when I saw the look on my best friend's face."Gabby, you look amazing," Claire exclaimed as she fixed the strands of my hair that had tangled from my twirl. "You're going to blow him away.""Nothing gets blown on the first date, Claire. I have a strict three-date policy before sleeping with a man." I giggle, knowing exactly what she meant, but my dirty mind can never resist making something sexual."How do you last the first two dates without jumping into bed with them?" She asks me, and I can tell that she's not being judgmental at all; she knows how much I enjoy having sex."Well, I have a set of dating rules that I stick to, like never going home with a man on the first two dates, and I don't bring condoms with me either, that way it remov
