I told the group I had to go and hung up. Frustrated, I threw the headset on the ground and got dressed for the gym. I hadn't had anything to eat or drink yet but I was so angry I couldn't.

Why do I feel like this?

I hated the fact that someone else could have so much control over how I felt. The poor girl did nothing to me. And why did I even care that much.

"FUCK." I screamed.

I gathered my stuff as Karl attempted to talk to me before I left, but I was determined to leave. I walked out the front door and slammed it shut. As soon as I got into my car I completely broke down. I'm stronger than this I thought. "Don't let other people dictate your own feelings" Nolan used to say to me. God, I missed him a lot.

After 5 minutes I pulled myself together and drove to the gym. While at the gym I worked myself harder than I ever had before. I'm really good at taking my anger out at the gym. While I was there I began to feel faint and dizzy and decided I needed to go home. I hadn't eaten in a while and needed to. I called Karl on my way home and explained everything to him. I apologized for being an asshole and told him I'd cook lunch when I got home.

"Hey kid how was the gym." Karl smiled at me.

"It was fine." I looked up at him my eyes still puffy from crying earlier.

KARLS POV:

Mel looked up at me, her eyes were puffy and her cheeks were stained red. My heart shattered into pieces. I hated seeing her like this. I know she's a strong girl but she never ever shows her emotions... It worries me. It's not good to keep everything bottled up. I listened to her explain what happened with Foolish and Tina. I get it. She's jealous. I just don't know how to help her. I wish she would understand how pretty and honestly how perfect she is. She's an athlete, funny, good at video games, and gorgeous. How could anyone want anything more?

"Let's cook lunch okay? what do you want?"

"Salad." she said under her breath.

We spent the next half hour making chicken salads and listening to music. I think she really likes music. Not to mention she can sing really well. I could listen to her sing all day. She seemed to forget about her worries when she sang. It was really nice to see. I asked her if she wanted to play fortnite on Foolish's stream later and all the energy she had was gone in an instant.

Melanie's POV:

"Do you want to go play fortnite on Foolish's stream?"

"He's still live?" I asked gloomily.

"Yeah I think he's gonna go to 36 hours because he already said he would stream pummel tonight."

"Oh okay." I had no idea what that meant but I didn't feel like asking.

I know I said I didn't like fortnite but for Foolish I was able to make a exception. I assumed we'd run squads so I hoped and prayed that Tina girl wouldn't be our 4th.
I got into the call shortly after Karl and launched fortnite. As soon as I joined Foolish screamed at me.

"YOU DIDNT TELL ME YOU'RE A D1 ATHLETE! THATS FUCKIN AWESOME."

"Oh yeah haha." I laughed.

"So you're like really good at swimming then huh?"

"I mean I don't want brag but yes." I said boldly.
