"Hey Lilly! I was meaning to talk to you." Brandon takes long strides towards me, after talking to Jacklin. That girl makes me want to barf. I don't want to stop, but my body does anyway.
"Yes, Brandon?" I say in an annoyed tone, which surprises Brandon and I. His face is a little shocked, and hurt at the same time.
"Umm... I was wondering if, if um, you want to, um get to know each other?" Brandon blurts out. I am taken by surprise at his sudden ask, but I look him in the eye and say,
"But Brandon, what about Jacklin?" His eyebrows furrow together as he asks,
"Wait, what about Jacklin?" And now I furrow my eyebrows together.
"Um, you were caught, by a picture, kissing-um... her?" He laughs hysterically, and says,
"Hahaha! Wow, Photoshop is the best now days!" He wipes his happy tears away.
"Wait... What?!" I scream in his face. He starts cracking up.
"Ok, ok! Let's talk after school! Haha! Meet me at my house. 1748 Yeets Avenue." I looked at him, and he starts cracking up again.
"Wow, I can't believe you thought I was dating Jacklin. She's a psychotic female dog!" I told him that probably everyone thought that, because it got sent to the whole school. He stops laughing and look behind me. This catches my attention, so I look at where his gaze meets.
Melanie and Jacklin.
Jacklin had spray paint, and was flirting with a boy next to her. Melanie had a picture of Brandon and Jacklin kissing., and I tried hard to keep my bile down. Jacklin gave the spray paint can to the boy, and he starts working.
"Wow. Again, psychotic." Brandon's words bring my eyes away from the evil posse, to look at him.
"You have to do something!" I yell, "This is unacceptable."
"I know, I know. Chill I have this under control. The plan is, I'm going to ask Jacklin to prom, but you come of course," My eyebrows fumble together, "next, I'm going to dump her, right when we get there, tell everyone about the picture, and add a little surprise."
"What surprise?" He looks at me.
"Well that's not a surprise if I tell you!"
