The days went by, and Mars and I grew closer. The class we had together that was once horrible became tolerable, then enjoyable, but as I fell head over heels, they had eyes for another.
They grew closer to a social butterfly, Nikki. The tension between them grew as I noticed Mars and Nikki spending more time together. They held hands, blushing. This secretly crushed my soul. All of this tension and suspense bubbled up one fateful Monday.
I walked into Ms. Minors room after a tiring, slow day. I saw something that made me want to cry. Mars was kissing Nikki. Nikki noticed me and broke the kiss as Mars looked at me unapologetic. I felt the tears start to well. Mars stood up from the desk they sat on. They opened their mouth to tell me something, but I cut them off, my voice breaking.
"Did we mean nothing?!" I yell at them. I turn to run from the door, wiping my tears. I lean back against my locker and put my knees to my chest. I hear footsteps from around the corner, but I ignore them, allowing myself to sob. I hear Jays familiar voice with a tone that's anything but comforting. I ignore her for the most part, but one word happens to stick.
Kiss. I remembered an old deal I had made with her, before she ended up mean and rough. If we were alone in 10 rooms together, we would kiss. Thus was perfect. I wanted my revenge, and God Dammit, I was gonna get it. I stand up defiantly, my head low and my hands hanging by my side in fists. Jay looked confused as I spoke up.
"How many rooms have I been in alone with you?" Her eyes widen as she chuckles.
"Aren't you with that Mars?" She tilts her head to the side, smirking.
"Just tell me, it's important."
"This would be room 9."
"I want to set something up. Mars...hurt me, and I want revenge."
"Never thought you would be the jealous type, we're you even official?"
"I- I never thought about it like that..."
"Hm, attached already~?" She joked.
"Shut up. Here's the plan..."
