     We were at Lex's house, Ella, Blair and I all sitting on the sofa. I was trying to enjoy the movie we were watching, but with the amount of chatter coming from Ella and Lex, it was kind of hard. Rolling my eyes at them, I continued watching the movie until I was too annoyed. They asked where I was going, and I just said I wanted to make something to eat.

Blair followed me into the kitchen, watching as I grabbed a Gatorade. Quickly drinking from it, I smiled when Blair got out things to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Honestly, it would not have been my first choice, but it sounded pretty good at the moment. Grabbing my own two pieces of bread, we did the opposite of each other before putting each half of the sandwich together.

"So, I don't really see the point of us all watching a movie when they're just going to talk," Blair started, taking a bite of her sandwich.

"I feel the same way. It's kind of rude."

She agreed. We continued eating some, talking about how we were sad that tomorrow was the last day of break. Of course, I knew it was going to come at some point, but it was still always a sad ending.

"I want to travel for spring break," I told her "Yeah, that would be fun!"

I shrugged. "My parents would probably be okay with it since Ethan is a senior and stuff. Maybe I'll chat to them about it."

"Where would you even go?"

Explaining that I would want to go to somewhere like Washington, or then Arizona, she seemed to agree, saying that would be cool. We finished our sandwiches not much later, Blair and I cleaning up the kitchen. Once we headed back out to the living room, I noticed that Lex and Ella had moved spots. They were chatting softly, but I raised an eyebrow when I noticed my phone in their previous position. Picking it up, I suddenly became worried.

"What did you two do?"

"We didn't do anything!" Lex said quickly, defensively.

Opening my messages, they looked completely fine. I also checked my snapchat, seeing that they had taken a selfie and posted it on my story, but nothing too bad. Rolling my eyes, I sat on the sofa, about to put my phone away when Harry texted, saying something that clearly meant they had been texting him.

Harry: you're going to go and leave daddy all alone??

WHAT DID THEY TEXT YOU

Harry: um what?

WHY DID YOU JUST CALL YOURSELF DADDY

Harry: you called me it first I don't understand 

Harry: oh fuck

Harry: what's the last message you have before the one I sent a minute ago

It just says to have a good morning from me

Harry: I am so pissed. Hold on, I'll send you screenshots and now I feel yucky

Harry: (attachment: two images)

After I read the messages, I felt not only overly embarrassed, but also betrayed. They had promised me that they wouldn't do this again.  The messages were vulgar, invasive, and incredibly inappropriate.  Glaring at my friends, I headed upstairs. It wasn't long before I was asking Harry to pick me up, the boy asking for the address. I sent it to him, heading back downstairs once I collected my things.

"Where are you going?" Lex asked.

"I know what you did. You promised you wouldn't, and you lied."

"You sucked Harry's dick, and kind of didn't mention it to us," Lex scoffed. "We're your best friends."
