YOU KNOW ME BETTER THAN I DO

10. green light of forgiveness.

"Elodie!" Katerina squealed.

"What?" the brunette groaned, fidgeting with the sleeves of her shirt.

"I have a boyfriend!"

"What?"

"I have a boyfriend."

"I- I know. Who?"

"Well... it's kind of a... situationship. We've kissed a few times but we dunno if we should actually date!"

"Just tell me who the special someone is," Elodie smiled.

"It's... it's Ethan. Ethan Landry."

Elodie's smile immediately fades.

"What?? Him??"

"Yeah! He- he's cute."

"Don't lie, Kat. You don't have to lie to me."

"I'm not lying."

She scoffs, "So- so you think the dorkiest guy on earth, who is gonna die a virgin, cute?"

"...yup."

Elodie rubs the bridge of her nose, "Kat..."

"At least I won't be left out now. We can do double dates! Me, you, Ethan, and..." she sighs, "and Vance."

"Maybe, Rina. Just- just maybe."

Elodie stands up, "I'm glad you're... no longer single."

Katerina giggles like the fucking idiot she is, "Yeah. I'm glad... I'm glad I'm not single either."

"Should we plan the double date? I mean... Vance's roomies with Chad and Ethan," she suggests in that monotone voice.

"You seem excited about this."

Elodie scoffs, "I- I am, I guess. I'd just rather not go on a date with my boyfriend and just see... Ethan next to him."

"Why are you dating him? Don't say he's cute because I know damn well that he isn't."

"He's funny. I- I felt bad for him."

"Because he said he's gonna die a virgin?"

"Yes!"

Elodie laughs, dimples showing, "That's... you're fucking hilarious, Kat."
