Trey finally said, “I’m sorry. I … was stupid then.â€?

“You’re still stupid.â€? She interrupted.

“I don’t even know why I did it. I think I was still crazed by the fact that I was so strong. Even stronger than you. I knew who you were too. I just … I don’t know.â€?

“We’re going to pretend like this never happened.â€? Holly hissed.

“What?â€?

“We are going to go with our lives and pretend like we never had this fight, never had this conversation.â€?

“You … you can’t erase the past.â€? But Trey was ecstatic. He didn’t want to be reminded of what he did to this girl everyday. “I mean, okay.â€?

“Good. Now repeat after me. Holly Marie was never raped by Trey Parke. They didn’t know each other until this school. Holly met him for the first time on the first day of school.â€?

And then she broke down into more sobs, knowing it would be too difficult to ever forget how well they knew each other.

“Agreed.” Trey whispered. “It never happened.” Then, they got ready for bed, never deciding what to do about the Together Lunch.
