I watched him fade away. He was no longer the guy I became best friends with and whom I grown up with throughout the years. Yes, people change, but no...not like this. He looks at me as if I am just a roadblock and a bother on his path to success, like he wishes I do not exist. Slowly and slowly, that bond we made in third grade fades away until I am left with a broken heart and without a best friend.
"Alex, don't do this." Nik begged his girlfriend of only two days.
"No, Nik! Choose! It's either me or her! You can't have both! What's it gonna be?" Alex, crazy psycho Alex, screeched at my best friend. She pointed at me and then at herself when she asked who he will choose.
Nik looked at me and then at his girlfriend. He sighed, "Alright, I choose you."
I stared at him in disbelief but didn't say a word. The whole crowd in the cafeteria was silent as well, in shock. Everyone knew Nik and I were best friends and had been practically bound at the hip. We've been shipped for years and were told we had the best friendship so they were surprised when Nik chose Alex over me. Everyone in school had at least once, seen Nik reject or tell off a girl so that he could hang with me. Everyone was staring. Alex smirked. I refused to look at Nik.
I stayed silent. Deep down I knew he would choose her. It was in his nature. Nik was a player, a flirt, a manwhore who chose tits and a vagina over the guys ( or in this case, me) almost every time. He liked sex. Like a lot. He was obsessed. Our friendship had been strained ever since this chick Alex had risen to popularity.
I remember meeting Alex in first grade. She thought she was the shit, but nobody really liked her. Sure she had her little possy of followers and lowlifes, but she had never been considered popular. That was until the end of middle school and the beginning of high school, once puberty slowly began to hit and we combined schools with different towns. She made new friends, excelled in her field of expertise (gymnastics) and climbed to the top of the class academic-wise. She wore lots of makeup and started talking to as many guys as she could in hopes of bragging to everyone about how she had a boyfriend. Her and I were not similar at all. Where I played field hockey and basketball, she did gymnastics. Where I made honor roll, she made high honors. Where I talked to one guy for a couple months and was serious about the relationship, she talked to multiple guys at the same time and past stds 'round town. While I had a group of close friends of the same gender along with a couple male friends, Alex thought she was friends with everyone and dabbled in everyone's business.
It wasn't long until Alex and Nik met and hooked up. I mean, Alex wasn't considered the biggest player out of the chicks, but she definitely passed as a hoe. Nik was a total manwhore since day 1, and slept with more than half the school. It was actually about time they met and hooked up. I was more surprised that they met only after years of being in the same school together. Once they met, which was in AP bio junior year (a class I was definitely not in), they started talking. They had each other's snap for awhile but they mainly had sent streaks nothing more. After that first week in bio, they started exchanging nudes and "talking". A month later they went to the Halloween party and hooked up in the bathroom. Nik told me he decided to pursue her because it was cuffing season and that it would be over quickly. But once she invited herself over to a pre-thanksgiving gathering, I should have known I was doomed.
Nik and Alex left the cafeteria, probably to hook up in the bathroom again, which left me as everybody's personal exhibit. I didn't know what to do. My group of friends had left to go to Chipotle ten minutes ago for the usual Friday run. I had been waiting for Nik to ask if he wanted to join us since he occasionally would but then Alex was with him and got pissed, causing the meltdown where Nik had to choose me or her. I took a seat at an empty table in the caf and text my friend Faith. I had two close chick friends, Sofie and Faith. Sofie was more of the funny, loud, boisterous friend who felt awkward giving advice whereas Faith was loud as well, but more restraint and gave good advice. I text her a brief statement: something just happened between me and Nik involving Alex and the caf can you come pick me up?
Faith responded almost immediately: omg someone just texted me from their caf abt it in so sorry ness I'm coming your way brt
I waited for Faith's Audi to pull up to the curb and then I grabbed my backpack from the table and left the caf while everyone watched and whispered. Once I got in Faiths car, I burst into tears.
