Marissa walked into the cafeteria after her 4th class. Things had been really hard, but she knew that it was possible to get through all this. At least she knew that she wasn't pregnant afterall. But what about Nikki's bit of news? And how Marissa just very well may have HIV? And she won't even know for sure for six months. It didn't seem fair. Marissa had always been a good girl. And then things had gotten all screwed up.
Ignoring some of the evil stares that were thrown her way, Marissa sat down at an empty table in the far back with her lunch tray. "Things will be okay." she whispered to herself and looked around her. "Eventually." Marissa looked back down at her food, suddenly not feeling very hungry.

Matt was sitting by his lonesome self, as usual. Since the break-up, he had gone back to sitting by himself. He noticed Marissa; he always noticed her. She just didn't realize it. Watching her, he decided to text her
of all the sleazeballs you could have slept with, why my cousin?
he wasn't mad at her. He had beaten up Nikki for calling her a whore. He just wanted to know why

Marissa's cell phone was in her back pocket and she felt in vibrate. She pulled it out and read the text. She had planned on telling him all along. But she was afraid that if she tried to talk to him, he wouldn't wanna listen. However, with Nikki living in the same house, she wasn't surprised that Matt already knew. She text him back...
I know. It was stupid. I was just really hurting. And I admit it was a mistake. I've already beaten myself up over it. I'm so sorry. For everything.

Mat read it and sighed. Looking over at her, he swallowed then decided he didn't need to be there.
After a moment, he texted her back
you know, the ravine is nice and quiet during the day. I think I'll go for a walk and head up there he then stood up, gave a quick nod, and walked out of the cafeteria

Marissa read the text and then looked up at Matt. She didn't send a text back instead, she stood up, and leaving her tray of untouched food behind, walked out of the cafeteria also.

Matt quietly walked into the ravine. He liked it when it wasn't filled with vans and beer. He found himself a spot and sat down, staring at the ground as he made circles in the dirt with his finger

Marissa had never been to the ravine this time of day. Only at night. But she wasn't doing that no more. She walked into the ravine, and saw Matt not to far away. So, Marissa walked over and sat down beside him, not quite sure of what to say at first.

Matt didn't even look up. He sighed and said "sorry for ditching you at the New Year's Eve party. I was mad...I have a bad temper, I guess"

"Yeah, but really. You have nothing to be sorry for. It was my own fault. I wanted to tell you. I was just scared to, I guess." Marissa replied, softly, looking back at the ground.

Matt chuckled "my family's the most screwed-up one you'll find and you were scared to tell me? If I can deal with Megan, Aidan, and Hannah's crap, I can deal with yours"

Marissa smiled softly. "Yeah. I guess it was stupid to not say anything. I was just afraid to lose yet another person I cared about. But I guess by not telling, it only made them worse."

Matt nodded "well, I haven't gone anywhere. I've been in the same house. You could have come by"

"I wanted to. I almost did once. But I figured you may need more time. And then with Nikki? That was the biggest mistake I've ever made. I wish that I knew why I had done it in the first place. But I don't." Marissa explained.

"I don't care about Nikki" he said, finally looking up at her

Marissa looked up. "Matt...there's something that I need to tell you." She paused. "Did you--do you know-- that Nikki--well, he just recently told me that he found out that he has HIV."
