Reece

As soon as I got the message from Jackson my heart instantly sank. 3 words no guy wants to hear or see, "dude I'm sorry" with an imagine of the back of a guy kissing your girlfriend of 3 years.

I can't believe she cheated on me, ME, captain of the football team, one of the most popular guys in school, well technically not anymore. Anyone else is a downgrade. "Reece please don't do this, I love you" she cries out "yeah? Well clearly not enough because I was away for two nights, and you were already with another guy" I snap back at her. I look up refusing to look at her. the girl I spent 3 years of my life with, how dare she. I just wish I could go back and not have gone to football camp. Everything would be okay. Cassie and I would be happy, and she would be coming to dinner with us tonight. But no. I must be stuck at a table with Ellie. Hear her talk about how smart she is and how she's going to NYU. Good I hope she stays there, and I never have to hear her annoying voice again. A thought creeps into my mind, has Cassie been doing this repeatedly? Is this just the first time she's been caught?

Me and Cassie were supposed to go to UOB (University Of Boston) together, I do football and she studies... whatever she was going to study. But no, she had to go and ruin that. Just as I think my day can't get any worse, I glance up and I see Ellie Casten, my annoying neighbour, shutting her window, shit she heard us.

What's the bet she recorded it and is going to hold it above me for the rest of my life. I can already see it. "Cassie, you need to leave, we are done" I demanded "no Reece please hear me ou-" I didn't even let her finish her sentence "Get. Out." I growled as she ran to her car and didn't look back. I was so pissed at her for doing this to me, we could have had a happy comfortable life, and at myself for letting her in and trusting her.

As we pull up to the restaurant, I feel my stomach growl as my parents began to speak "now children" ironic she's calling us children when I just finished high school, and my sister Kylie is about to get married "once we get inside and we are all settled we have some big, exciting news for you all" my mother gleamed at us.

I just sighed how could anything be exciting or amazing right now. I get out the car with my head down as my mom stopped me "what's wrong Reece" she asked "nothing don't worry about it" I said as I plastered on my best fake smile. God I'm just so angry, and do you know what makes me angrier? Ellie. And now I have a whole night of listening to her brag about all her accomplishments, being the valedictorian, going to NYU. God I'm going to throw up just thinking about it.

I look over to the car that has just parked as I watch her get out of the car, if only she wasn't such a know it all she would actually be hot.

As soon as our moms figured out, they were both having a baby at the same time, they apparently flipped out. Now imagine their reaction when they found out one was a boy, and one was an annoying, stupid girl. They always thought we were "destined" to get married. Destined my ass. We have had it out for each other since before I can remember. Unlike me, my sister and Ellie are best friends, I don't even know how kylie can stand her.
