"He recently what now?"

"Yup. After almost 8 months..." I said. "How'd you find out?" Luis asks.

"My best friends. Perks of having good friends and good popularity at school." I said, fiddling with my bedsheet.

"God, are you okay? I'm right here if you need me. Cry all you want, I won't judge." He said, holding my hand as he was sitting next to me on my bed.

I smiled, "Thanks but I'm not going to." I said. "Are you not hurt? I can hear the pain in your voice." He said.

"Oh I know you can, I can too. But, crying like this? I hate it." I said.

"You don't like crying in front of someone? You don't like crying at night? Crying while you're playing on the Olympics? Crying while you have a game soon?" He asked all in such a rush.

"No, no! Not that." I said, chuckling.

"I love crying actually, but it really depends." I started. "Like, a sad movie perhaps! I can cry to that freely without embarrassment." I said.

"And crying because I lost someone? Same thing. But crying because a boy broke my heart by cheating on me? Never." I said.

"W- why? Everyone does that. It always makes them cry." He questions. "Why? Because, that is not how weak I am." I said.

"I'm not going to let a boy know that he is strong enough to make me cry. I'm not going to let him think he is more superior than I am just because I cried over him." I said.

"I'm not saying crying is a weak thing to do, I think it's a strength, especially when you're the type of person to not cry often."

"But , never in my life would I do that. I will let no boy think he's more powerful than me. I know my worth and my tears aren't worth crying over some stupid boy."

He looks at me, fascinated and shocked.

"What?" I asked.

"If I had dated you, I would always think you're the superior one in the relationship." He said.

I giggled, "Thank you. That made me feel great. Well, it's pretty late now so you should go back to your dorm and sleep." I said, getting ready to sleep myself.

"Okay, goodnight Mistress." He said, bowing.

I laughed, rolling my eyes.

"Shut up." I said.

Just how I hope to react if someone cheated on me...
