Middle Ground

They had made their relationship public after Saturday night's party. A party he had missed an entire half of it.

Selena walked on egg shells at his side, not knowing how to approach.

"Rule, you just found your crush-slash-lover cheating on you in public, right under your nose. I don't think you are fine." Selena responded as they headed for Chemistry period.
