Ami's shocked reaction--"Three other people?!"--was equally shocking to George. She cringed as people turned to look, their attention caught by Ami's question. George's face felt hot and she knew she was blushing. She writhed inwardly as Ami tried to suggest alternate, non-slutty reasons for what had happened.
It didn't help that Ami was clearly surprised by the news. "I thought you knew," George said at last. She frowned, then muttered, "I thought everybody knew." It certainly felt like everyone knew--especially with the looks she'd gotten when Chloe or Faith flirted with her.
Ami's question came as more of a surprise. Ami didn't even know who the guilty parties were? That was actually comforting in a way; it was evidence that maybe it wasn't as blatantly obvious to everyone as she feared. George actually smiled faintly, thinking about it. (It's not like Faith doesn't flirt shamelessly with almost everybody here. No reason to assume everybody knows why she flirts so hard with me....)
George glanced around. They weren't getting much attention any longer. She leaned in close as well, and spoke quietly. "Well, there was Jack...." George said.
"Yeah?" Ami asked, looking at her expectantly.
"And, uh, Faith," George said. "And Chloe," she added, then waited to see what kind of reaction she got from Ami.
