I walked by Betty's class on my way to the bathroom and saw her and Steven sitting together. That's not where she sits, why is she there right after our small fight not a fight thing. I peak into the window and see them laughing and then she punches his shoulder. He's probably convincing her of some dumb lie about me just like her other stupid friends. Steven talks for what seems like ten minutes and then they hug. Why is he always hugging my girlfriend? What are they talking about that she can't talk to me about, I literally just comforted her.
-After school, 3:07pm-
I decided to ride my skateboard by Betty's house, and big mistake. Steven's car is in her driveway which means when Inez said "She just left with her mom." She meant "She just left with the guy that's definitely in love with her." I can't go in because her mom hates my guts. I can't get caught looking in through the windows and I don't have an excuse for why I'd need her to come outside to talk.
I go home and text asking if she can facetime. 15 minutes go by, no response. If I double text it'll seem suspicious. To hell with it, I'm face-timing her.
"Hey, sorry I couldn't say goodbye after school. My mom wanted me home right away to try on those three prom dresses I have to pick between." She explains.
My heart drops to my stomach. I saw Steven up in her bedroom window. She's trying on the dresses for him, with her mom.
"It's fine, do I get to have a say in which dress you pick?" I ask nervously.
"Of course, I got pictures in all three I can send." She says before a man's voice comes from off screen. Steven, of course.
"Yeah I took some good ones, you should do like a poll on Instagram or something Betty."
She sighs, probably knowing she has some explaining to do.
"That Steven?" I question, trying to sound like it doesn't bother me at all.
"Yeah, he uh, gave me a ride home. My mom wanted a guy's opinion on the dresses. Of course I wanted yours, but she said to get Steven's too at least." She explains sheepishly.
"Totally cool, send the pictures. Love you." She barely gets her "love you too" out before I end the call and throw my phone to the dog bed on the floor. I hate that guy and I hate her mom.
