My phone buzzd bringing me from my DJing, I looked down and I'm met with a text from Avery. I squint my eyes at my screen and opened the IMessage. A video message. I press play and watch, the voices of the three girls on stage came through and I was captivated by them, then the music ended and the voice of a strange male started.
"Avery. You've known me since kindergarten and never once has our friendship wavered. You were my first kiss and my first friend. Today...even my first love so what I'm asking you is...please, please! Be more then just my friend."
The last thing I noticed before dropping my phone to the cement floor was Avery pressing her lips to his. My world felt like it had crumbled beneath me. I knew this feeling all too well. Heart break. I seen it on Cady, Boonie and even Daniel. My closest friends. I never thought I'd experience it myself. Let alone by a brown haired, doe eyed, brown eyed girl, with fox like features. A girl, I've never met in person.
"What's with the long face? Looks like someone shot your pig," My friend, Cadence, said coming up to me. A cup of coffee with what smelled like tequila mixed in it. I shrug knowing very well that I couldn't tell her about this. She'd tell me I'm crazy, that I don't REALLY know her. She'd laugh in my face.
I then realize I need to swallow my own pride and let go of whatever I'm feeling, and be nice.
Congrats!
One word. The hardest word that I have ever typed and sent.

"Wy-Lou," I said walking over to the light brown haired guy who I thought was sat all alone. "Why, why aren't you over with Elena and Winter?" I ask, and I sighed. Of course I would take Kenzi's side in this. Wyatt and Kenzi, to me anyway, are made for each other, in my head as long as anyone who looked at the two.
"I'll just go," Lou said, when she stood up with a grimace on her face, Kenz and Chelsea finally joined us. Two medium fries, and 2 medium pepsi's and 1 coke in hand. "Kenz...Chelsea," Lou sighed, Lou's eyes scanned over Kenzi. Taking in her black dress shorts, dark pink tights, black crop top and the grey overcoat. The look of hurt in her eyes. "Have fun."
"Lou..."
"No, Kenzi. You got exactly what you wanted right? Wyatt, and I understand now that everyone's explained it to me. You fell for him in the 7th grade, told him you loved him in the 9th. He didn't say it back, right? Then you stop talking to him, you probably wouldn't be talking to him now if it wasn't for the fact that me and him started dating. You tried to be civil, you were being his and my friend, but...he fell for you while dating me," Lou stopped looking Kenzi dead in the eye, while her gaze fell to her boots. "It's not your fault. It's not, it's mine for not seeing the lingering looks, the pained lingering looks at me and Wyatt."
"It is my fault Lou, it's my fucking fault. If I stayed exactly where I was suppose to be and kept quiet. Me and you, we would not be having this conversation," Kenzi spoke low so the converstion could be kept betweeen us.
"It's Wyatt's for letting it get like this. If you kept how you felt to yourself...you'd be hurt, not talking to me or Wyatt, avoiding me, avoiding us. Starting pointless fights. So...it's Wyatt's for not realizing he was in love with you sooner," Lou sighed and everyone held there breath.
