Immediately I got to class, Tasha was already waiting for me.
"You're early, that's surprising," I said, sitting beside her.
"Was bored. I thought I would meet you in class," she replied.
"Yeah, the bakery was a bit busy today. We had pre-orders," I explained casually.
"Are you working in the evening also?"
"Um. No, I'm not," I replied.
"Ok, cool. Do you want to, like, come over to my apartment? I'm throwing a sleepover," she asked.
"Um. No, my friend is visiting me, so I have to be around," I lied. I can't really expose myself to her yet, right? Besides, it wasn't entirely a lie. I just omitted the fact that my _friend_ was actually a boy.
"Okay, cool. So did your one-night stand guy reach out to you?"
"One-night—?" I stopped, as it all came rushing back to me. I had cheated on Nathan.
"Hey!! Why are you blanking out?" Tasha snapped her fingers at me.
"Please, Tasha, it's embarrassing enough to sleep with a stranger. Can we skip that?"
