My Business, Your Business

Chloe and Alex hurried away from the crazy counselors into Mr. Cook’s side office. They sat down as he asked, “Chloe, what happened between you and Jay?â€?

Chloe whispered, “That’s really none of your business.â€?

“It’s been brought to my attention.â€?

“But its still none of your business.â€?

“Well, yes, but it’s important. I’m not here to argue with you Ms. Sunder; I just need you to tell the truth.â€?

“Hmmm,â€? Chloe mumbled sarcastically, “Well, Jay and I had crazy sex for the first time.â€? She lied smoothly and Mr. Cook reddened.

“That’s not what I meant.â€? He said sternly, “I mean did you want to or were you forced?â€? She flinched and stayed silent. “Hmm, I see. Well, I will need an answer so I guess we’ll be here for a while. Take your time.â€? He sat back in his chair, staring at Chloe.

On the inside, she was in pieces. On the outside, her face showed no emotion as Mr. Cook tried to stare her down, thinking she would break. She probably would.

Still, he was right; it was going to take a while.
