You had been secretly with Regina for maybe two months now, keeping your relationship a secret to preserve Regina’s ’status’ in North Shore. It was daunting at first, but she made up for it with how she treated you in private.. showering you in expensive gifts - perfumes, chocolates, plush toys... anything she could get whilst out on shopping sprees with Gretchen and Karen - to whom she’d been able to fool surprisingly well, regardless of how suspiciously many things she’d buy. She was an entirely different person to you and for you, and you loved it... except for when in public - in that case, she had to act like the very thought of you revolted her.

You were opening up your locker, looking for one of your books when you then saw a small note and bright pink lipstick kiss mark on it -- no doubt, Regina’s. Whilst reading, your eyes flickered down to the scribbled pink marker at the bottom of the paper,

“Bathroom, second stall, after third period... XoXo, Regina”
