(Y/n)'s POV

Should I tell him? Or not? I can't expose her just like that... And of course, he can't just believe what I say.

I stared at the photo once more.

Why would she kiss someone else other than her own boyfriend??

I had to find out more.

I screenshot the photo and watch Cayla closely, she was talking to Elijah casually. I walked towards Amie, poking her because I needed her attention.

"I gotta show you something," I whispered to her ear. She nods and lets go of Ethan.

"What's up?" She asked.

I showed her the picture of Cayla's story.

"Wha- Where'd you get this?" Amie asked.

"Shh, keep it down," I said, "I got it off her story, and I think she didn't realize I was on her close friends list."

"We've gotta tell Elijah now!" Amie said, dragging me. I stopped her and pulled her back.

"Wait! Look at him! He's happy right now, we've gotta do it at the right time," I answered.

"Okay, you have a point... But you have to tell him," Amie said, giving a nod and faced towards Elijah.

I nodded.

He needed to know.

"Cayla... do you love Elijah?" I asked, as we were outside the parking lot, eating our food, Amie was already gobbling up her taco.

"I do... like him... in fact, I like him a lot," Cayla said.

"So you'll never cheat on him or anything,?" I asked her, my lips forming a smirk.

She paused for a second.
"Why would I? That's a pretty dumb question Y/n."

I shook my head, also letting out a small chuckle.
"Is it?"

She scoffed and strutted off to Elijah.

"Well, she'll probably know you're up to something," Amie said, her mouth still full.

"I'm trying to make her say she did cheat on him," I replied. "I want to make sure it's not like a picture that she did while she was drunk at a party or something."

"Then let's make her say it," Amie agreed to my idea.

"How?"

"I have a plan..."

•♡°♡°♡•

Amie's plan was brilliant, but it was sort of risky. We had to do it carefully.

So, our aim was to make Cayla confess that she has another guy, and she needed to tell Elijah herself.
And we knew just how to do it.

After Lunch, we went to the mall for our girls outing.

Basically, the way we planned on Cayla confessing is to literally just force it out of her. I had to show her the picture that I've seen.
Then she'll get nervous and admit she is cheating on Elijah.

We were in a clothes store, we were at the far corner so no one could hear us.

"Um, Y/n... you do realize this is a men's clothing section right...?" Cayla said, eyeing me suspiciously.

"Look, Cayla. I need to talk to you about something," I said.

"What?"

"You don't love Elijah, do you?" I asked.

"Why are you asking me that, of course I do," Cayla replied, rolling her eyes at me.

"Then... what if I ask, who's this guy," I said, showing her the screenshot from her close friends list.

"Wait, where'd you get tha-"

"Are you cheating on him?" I asked sternly, looking right into her eyes.

Cayla stuttered, loss for words.

"Answer yes or no, it's that simple," I said.

"Okay, so what if I did?! You don't have enough proof to tell him! You think he'll believe you after you broke his heart?!" Cayla said.

"I knew you've been hiding it Cayla, and all this time, I thought we were friends," Amie responded.

"You're in this too?!" Cayla yelled. "Oh well, at least I'll be honest! I'll never date a guy like him, he's way too weird. I was gonna end up breaking up with him after this trip."

"Why bother coming here, then?" I wondered.

"Because, it's all just a big joke to her. She literally just went out with him for fun," Amie scoffed, disgusted by Cayla's actions.

We didn't want to continue, so we all left the store and went back to the parking lot. There was a silence between us, no one spoke to each other.

Elijah and his friends had finished their shopping, and rendezvous to our meeting spot.

I looked at Cayla's face, I couldn't read it. I didn't know whether she was sad or glad, I can't tell the way she actually feels about Elijah.

"Hey, what's happened here? Are you all playing the Silent game or something?" Elijah joked, causing his friends to laugh.

"I think Cayla has something to tell you," I said.

Then the laughter went silent. We were in a parking lot, but Cayla seemed to be straight up to the point.

"Look Elijah, I've been cheating on you. There, I said it, happy?" Cayla looked at me then rolled her eyes.

"Wait, is this a prank?" Elijah asked.

"No Elijah, I don't like you. And I've never had," Cayla confessed.

"But... what about the times we've spent together... Those meant nothing to you?" Elijah said, his eyes slowly tearing up a bit.

I think he was discussing their travels together.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would go that far," Cayla responded. "I guess we're done then?"

Elijah was speechless. He was frozen. Nothing in his body moved.

I felt sorry for him, but he needed to know the truth.

"Look, let's just face it. I meant nothing to you, you meant nothing to me," Cayla shrugged. "Well, here's my ride."

A cab stopped and she got in it.

Then just drove off like that.
