You and Monet fit together like two puzzle pieces. You loved her and she loved you but you weren't from the "same world". Hers was one of lavish pool parties and shopping sprees at Bergdorf's and Bendel's; spending a year's worth of working part time in a single day. Whereas yours was working most days after school and making your own clothes.
But despite your differences, she loves you... only in private.
One day, you have had enough and decide to confront her at school. You pull her into an empty classroom.
"What is it? You know we have to be careful at school. Someone could see us and send a tip into Gossip Girl," she says reaching up to caress your cheek when you stop her. Her loving expression turns to one of concern.
"I can't do this."
"Do what?" Monet replies defensively.
"Be with you only in private. I don't want you to be ashamed of me, Monet," You say as you look down sadly.
It had started to take a toll on you. Being consistently ignored by her at school and hidden from her friends and family, you could only find solace in the sweet nothings whispered when the two of you were alone. You weren't even sure if you could be considered her girlfriend and it just wasn't enough anymore.
"Baby...you can't be serious. I have a reputation to uphold, you know that."
