Bennett

Me: What the hell Reid? Why didn't you tell me as soon as it happened?

Reid: Dude chill. I didn't tell you because I handled it. He left after. You could thank me. I almost got into a fight for you.

He's right. I should be grateful.

Me: Sorry man. Thank you. God, I wish I could punch him in his stupid face.

Me: He really called her a slut?

Reid: Yeah, but he backed down easily. You know Devon is a punk. He's all talk.

Devon has always been jealous of Arynn and I's friendship. I think it's because I have a good 8 inches, maybe more, on him and that makes him insecure. He's just mad that him and Arynn are practically the same height.

I wish I could say I was surprised he was there. I knew he'd show up and mess with her. What a dick! I only got the tail end of the story from Reid. I need to check on Arynn. I need to make sure she's okay. I need the whole story. As I go to message her, her name lights up my phone.

Arynn: Heyyyyy Ben Ben!

She's drunk. I laugh as another comes in.

Arynn: I'm home!

Me: Thanks for letting me know A. How was the party?

I already know but I want her to tell me in her own words.

Arynn: It was great until Devon the douche showed up.

Me: What the hell did he want?

Arynn: To get back together of course. Ugh! He cornered me in the kitchen and kissed me! Can you believe it! Thank goodness Reid had great timing and saved me.

I see red. HE DID WHAT? Why am I not the least bit surprised he forced himself on her? One of these days, I'm going to give him the black eye he deserves.

Me: Are you okay Arynn?

Arynn: Yeah B, I'm okay.

Arynn: Can I tell you something? You can't tell anyone.

Color me intrigued.

Me: Of course, A. You know you can tell me anything.

Arynn: I wished you were there. I wish you were the one who stopped him.

I think my heart actually stopped beating just now. Before I can respond she sends another.

Arynn: I miss you B.

Me: Of course, you do. I'm me.

I'm being arrogant, but I'm all warm and fuzzy inside. And it's not because of the alcohol.

Me: I miss you too A. Senior year isn't the same without you and Reid.

Arynn: It's hard to be mad at the first comment when you say stuff like that.

Me: I'm like a sour patch kid A.

Arynn: Sooooo. Answer me this.

Arynn: Did you send Reid to that party to spy on me?

Busted. Reid must have said something. Make a mental note to yell at Reid later.

Me: What? Where would you get an idea like that?
