"I think that was part of it." Sera smiled, trying to explain. "It all started in the summer, we kissed, well she kissed me but then she freaked out." She looked away from Meka putting her head down for a second. "She was kind of weird after that but everything got better around the Snowflake Ball." Sera smiled again. It felt good, finally talking about it all to somebody, She'd been keeping it all a secret for so long.
"We started talking, and she told me why she had been acting strange, she told me she thinks she's bi too.." Sera kneeled on the floor next to her closet, grinning a little. "She um did something." Sera trailed off, she didn't know what else to say there. She couldn't tell her about Quinn.
"Everything went back to normal mostly we decided to not risk screwing things up again, and just be friends." Looking away she pretended to look for a pair of shoes. She finally took a breathe, "But things were still different, good different?" Sera smiled shyly, trying to explain. "And then we kissed again on New Years."
She turned back to Meka. "She really had nothing to be sorry for at all." She finally added.

"It really was," she said with a nostalgic smile. "It was... liberating, you know? And Ella was fantastic," she grinned. "It was a lot of fun. Maybe I could... you know... teach you some stuff sometime, if you want," she smiled warmly.
"He was really sweet, it was nice to talk to him about Milo and try to figure things out with whatever attacked him," she got a goofy little smile on her face just thinking about him.
However when the conversation moved back over to her embarrassing situation her face turned red. "Like... incredibly embarrassing and really, really stupid." She hid her face behind her hands. "I... uh... I had sex with Sim Buford on New Years Eve. We were both wasted and it was really, really stupid." She peeked out from behind her fingers to see Sera's reaction. "I didn't mean too," she said a pained look on her face.

Meka nodded. "Call it a date," she grinned. She was starting to like the idea of sharing dancing with another her friends. She tilted her head from side to side. "There are a couple theories out there," she said unsure. "It could have been that thing that attacked Leon or it could have been a person. The way that he was attacked makes me think it was more likely that a monster did it." She looked at her friends warmly. "It's okay, we made it through."
She nodded slightly. "Yeah, he's pretty cute," she admitted "But... I didn't want it to be that way, you know?"
Oh god, the embarrassment only got worse... She shook her head no, feeling the shame in her face. "I know, I know, it was so stupid. We should have been careful but if I had been thinking more clearly, I would have said no in the first place. I went to the clinic you know... the next morning by myself," she said.

"Yeah, they caught one of the cloak looking things apparently," she said. "And they saw another creature! It was like a horse or something. Sim told me about that, he chased it through the woods but they didn't catch it."
She shrugged a little, her cheeks still red. "He was perfectly nice, a little awkward too. I told him I still had his sweater and I had washed it, he was just surprised I hadn't cut it to tiny pieces," he grinned. "I think he was expecting me to be a bitch to him. I think he was embarrassed too."
It was a comfort to finally be able to talk to one of her closest friends so openly. It made her realize that maybe she should stop keeping so many secrets. "I was so ashamed of myself, I couldn't bring myself to tell anyone for a while," she admitted. "It was mildly terrifying going by myself."
"The same for you. If you ever need me for anything, okay?"

Sera looked over, "Did he say if they think the cloak thing is what attacked Leon? And they don't know what the horse thing was? Did any teachers see it?" Sera asked, realizing she might be rambling. She took a deep breath, "Jenny told me she asked Charlie and all he saw was a possum, I didn't really hear much about the other groups."
"That's good he was nice to you, kinda funny though, from what I've seen of him, he doesn't really seem like the embarrassed type." Sera grinned, noticing Meka's cheeks were still a little blushed. "Why did he think you'd be a bitch?" She added, scrunching her nose a little when she asked the question.
She nodded her head slightly looking sympathetically over at Meka. "I can imagine." Sera sighed, "I know I would have been terrified." She admitted in return, offering another friendly smile. If it was anyone else she probably would have taken this opportunity to bad mouth drinking, but she had always tried not to lecture Meka too much.
"Okay." Sera grinned, nodding her head once again. Pausing for a second, she continued, "Thanks that really does mean a lot."

"Yeah, the cloak thing was the same thing that attacked Leon, apparently it's vicious," she said her eyes a little wide. "Sim said that he was with Professor Langley when they saw it and they all chased it through the woods. That was all I heard though, they couldn't quite place what the horse thing was though," she explained.
"That's what I thought," she nodded. "He's kind of... loud and unashamed, right?" she laughed a little. "I guess anyone would be embarrassed to have sex with a geek though," she mumbled. "I think he usually hooks up with bitches, not Mekas," she shrugged with a little laugh. "Ugh," she groaned and then laughed again. "I don't know anymore Sera."
She smiled genuinely at her friend. "It means a lot to me too," she said honestly. She wished, not for the first time, that she hadn't been so silly about the whole thing.
