Replaced

I spent my whole Saturday locked up in my room, coming out only to eat. When mom asked why I wasn't coming out of my room I told her I had a lot of assignments to complete before Monday and she bought that story because she let it go and gave me my space.

Sunday I decided to go to the salon and do my hair - cliché break up move I know - I decided that if I was gonna feel terrible inside the least I could do for myself if look bomb on the outside - fake it till you make it right? - I wasn't about to give Sky the satisfaction of seeing me look miserable, he should see that I was doing even better without him - pathetic I know -  but I was dying inside and I don't expect most people to understand. Turns out I actually loved Sky more than I realised.

I woke up early Monday morning and  started preparing for school, I wanted to look really nice seeing as it was my first day as just Lucy and not Sky's girlfriend. I wore my full winter uniform and when I walked through the school gate I was ready to conquer the world.

I went straight to class and found my classmates revising some Life Science notes, apparently they did that every morning since trial exams were close. All this was very foreign to me, not the studying but spending the morning in class and not with Sky.

Curiosity finally got the better of me  and  I went to the spot where Sky and I usually sat in the mornings. My heart was not ready for what I saw. Sky had Claire pinned against the wall, his hands on her ass and his tongue was probably so far down her throat that he could taste the mucus lining it. Instinctively I wanted to walk up to Sky and slap the hell out of him and then I remembered that he wasn't mine anymore. To say my heart was shattered would be an understatement. I hadn't realised I was staring until I heard a voice behind me ask,"Are you okay sis?"
I turned around to see Chad,"How long have you been standing there big brother? " Chad and I referred to each other as brother and sister because we always joked about how we would have made great siblings if we had the same parents. Chad hugged me  and then cleared his throat," Well I don't know how long I've been standing here but I've seen enough to know that you've finally realised that your boyfriend..."

"Ex... boyfriend" I corrected him.

"...ex-boyfriend is not just trash but a whole dumping site"

I let go of his hug and looked up at him,"What do you mean by that?"

"Well little sis, that..." he said pointing towards Sky and Claire who were still sucking each other's faces off,"...has been going on for a while now."

"What?" I said shocked but not having the energy to show it.

"Yeah... I'm sorry I didn't let you know sooner, I just didn't know how to tell you... it is quite a sensitive issue you know..."

"I know Chad, it's fine I understand, don't worry about it. So you telling me that Sky has been seeing Claire behind my back all this time?"

"Oh trust me, they've been doing way more than just seeing each other if you get what I'm saying. See Sky spends a lot of time at Claire's house since her mother is chilled like that and since I've moved in with Theo I've seen them a lot together at the park. I thought that you knew and you were just brushing it off or something..." he said shrugging.

"Seriously Chad, brushing it off?" I snapped getting pissed now.

"That came out wrong, it's just that they were pretty open about their thing"

"It's okay Chad, you not the one I should be angry at, I'm sorry" I said hugging him. When I let go of him I turned around to see Claire and Sky looking in our direction, Claire whispered something in Sky's ear and  they turned to look at Chad and I again - more at me than Chad - and laughed. "Okay that's it little sis, let's get out of here"

Chad dragged me away from my front row seat of watching Fifty Shades Of Grey and walked me towards my class. We spent the rest of the morning talking about things like cars, sports and school. Anything except boys or relationships, I could tell Chad was trying to distract and I was grateful for that but I couldn't stop thinking about what I had seen earlier and the information Chad had just shared with me. The Sky I was starting to know was nothing like the Sky I used to date.

As we were eating with my friends break time, I saw Sky and Claire sitting and eating together."Lu are just gonna allow that?" said Mia pointing at Sky and Claire. "We broke up" I said softly."Honestly, I could never" said Mia obviously  not having heard what I had just said to her, " I said we broke up!" I shouted getting the attention of the rest of my friends and instantly regretting it. They quickly went back to eating when they saw the look on my face."I'm sorry friend, I didn't know, I..."

"Yes Mia you didn't know!"

With that I stood up and walked away, I could feel the eyes of every learner on me. Others  feeling sorry for me and gossipers feasting on my downfall. The sad part is that no one knew my side of the story, no one knew that I broke up with Sky, all they knew is that on Friday Sky and I were together and today he was with Claire. They assumed that Sky found someone better, they assumed I was replaced...

Hey y'all... So that was Chapter 12.

Yeah hey, from playing Irreplaceable to actually being "replaced."  I think that's actually the most painful part of dating at school, you risk seeing your partner move on with someone else if you guys ever break up.

Anyway, let me know what you think about this chapter in the comments section, Do you feel sorry for Lucy? Or Do you feel she should be able to deal with this because it was inevitable maybe? I really would like to know what you think.

Also please please please vote 😁🧡
