The truth sounds fishy at best, but it’s the only truth I have. I would never cheat on my mates for any reason, and I don’t even have an interest in Neal like that. I’m more interested in finding out what happened to make Neal think I wanted him.

. I can’t help that right now, though. I don’t know what to do with myself because I don’t know what will happen once I tell them what I need to say. I don’t know if they will believe me, and that, the unknown, is unnerving.
