It was quiet where I lived. I think. I don't know. Normally I don't get out much but the one day I decided to was the worst mistake of my life. I had decided I wanted my coffee fresh and ran down to Starbucks for a drink or something but on my way, I had run into something. Well, let's be honest someone. He was the hottest guy in my school and he gave me the most dazzling smile.
I remember brushing past him because I knew I obviously stood no chance. Later when I came out of Starbucks with my drink I saw him again. He had waved to me and I gave him a 'leave me the fuck alone' smile.
He stopped me and asked for my number. I gave it to him thinking, wow maybe he likes me and I do stand a chance. Over the course of two months, we became really close and it was nice. He would buy my gifts and I would help him with his essay and homework. The usual.
One day though I decided to go get coffee (this was a regular thing now since over time I had grown more confident with my looks because of him) and I saw him sitting down at a table talking with another girl. I thought nothing of it but I did experience a pang of jealousy.
I asked him about it later and he had the biggest smile on his face.
"Oh, I was just flirting with my crush," my heart dropped below the earth and shattered on Jupiter.
"Your crush?"
"Yeah, my crush. She's beautiful and sweet and smart," he grinned.
I held back my tears. "That sounds great man glad you could do that."
"Yeah, thank you so much for helping me out with my schoolwork these past couple of days but I think we are going to have to stop being friends. She gets jealous really easily and I don't want her to have to feel jealous like that y'know?"
This time I couldn't help it and the tears started flowing. "So what about all the gifts? Does she know about that?" I had whimpered my voice cracking in the most embarrassing manner.
"Yeah, she's fine with it. She's understanding and knows how grateful I am to you and she told me to buy you all the gifts."
I slapped him. "You should be more considerate! I really thought we were something! You can't just buy someone gifts and expect them not to take it as a token of love."
He frowned then. All I remember was him standing up quietly and leaving the room.
