OPHELIA'S FINGERS RUN TROUGH THE CURLY HAIR SOREAD AROUND HER LAP.
Lia has an phone in one hand, other hand tangled into Ricky's hair, the boys head resting on her lap, phone also in his hand.
The sounds of Ophelia's phone which belonged to her now most used app tiktok as she closes the app and opens her messages instead as an notification popped up on her screen.
From no other then the blonde girk she despises.
Lily.

What the actual fuck.
Her hand in his hair comes to an stop as she looks at the messages on her screen.
No, this can't be true. Can it? no. Ricky wouldn't do that. He is constantly turning her down, it makes no sense.
But she does remember at the party he was drunk, and then he suddenly left at the same time as Lily, like 15 minutes later he returned his hair all messed up.
oh god.
Ricky whines as he nuzzles his head against her hand, telling her to continue.
When she doesn't he looks up to her to see her upset expression, he furrows his eyebrows in an worried frown.
"Lia?" He asks sitting up, turning so he is facing her.
"You kissed Lily?" She asks, her voice breaking as she speaks.
Ricky's eyes widden at her words as he shakes hsi head no repeatidly. "What, no."
Ophelia moves her hands as he was about to grab them. "Don't lie to me, Ricky. Did you kiss her or not?"
Ricky runs his hand trough his hair. "No, I swe-"
He is cut off by Ophelia who let's oit an scoff. "Oh my god you did! You are lying you did that thing!"
Ricky forgot how good she knew him, she can tell immediatly when he lies, and so can he by her.
"Ophelia, it was an mistake. you wouldn't kiss me and she was just there." Yeah, weong thing to say.
"So because I wouldn't kiss you you go to the first person who actually wants to?" She asks in an unbelievable voice. "What, you kissed her multiple times after that, didn't you?"
"No," He immediatly shakes his head. "I don't like her, I like you!"
"Then why did you kiss her?!" She yells back.
"I was drunk, okay? I wasn't thinking straight!" He desperatly answers back.
"Don't blame this on the fucking alcohol!" She exlaims, trying her hardest to keep her tears in.
She isn't gonna cry infront of him, she isn't showing him how mich this affects her.
"It was an mistake, okay? I immediatly regretted it!"
"After you fucking made out with her you came back to me, acting all clingy! Like nothing happened!" She bites her lip as she shakes her head.
"Ophelia, I'm sorry."
"I am to, for thinking this could ever work out betweem us." Ophelia stands up from his bed, grabbing her stuff as quick as she can.
Ricky's eyes widden, this is just like him and Nini's break up all over again. "No, it can work. And it will."
"Obviously it won't. Goodbye Ricky." Ophelia walks oit of his room, down the stairs towards the front door.
"No, Lia, please don't do this." Ricly begs, following her down the stairs.
The girl simply ignores him, burging out of his house towards the one next to him.
Only in her room when the door closes she allows the tears to spill out of her eyes.
It hurts. He told her nothing sould ever happen between him and Lily, when in reality it already did.
It hurts even more knowing he is her best friend, the boy who had always been by her side since kindergarten.
The boy who promised never to hurt her, and now he hurt her the most she ever was.
