EveryThing Has Changed

Chapter 15

1 week later:

Felicia and I sat in Starbucks sipping our favorite summer drinks. The smell of freshly ground coffee beans put a bright smile on my face.

"So what are you gonna wear for the summer bash?" Felicia took a sip of her drink

"I don't know....maybe we should go shopping tomorrow?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Sounds great." She smiled

"What colors do you-" I was interrupted by Felicia's phone beeping.

"Woah. Zack's status just updated to "in a relationship." I wonder who the bitch is?" She scrolled on her phone in anger.

I bit my bottom lip. I told Zack he could update his status whenever he felt comfortable. I haven't even changed mine yet. To make things worse, I haven't told Felicia. The thing is I never share my feeling with her. She's not the type of person.

"I don't know?" I bit my lip so hard I started to taste blood

"Whoever she is im gonna find her." Felicia mumbled under her breath.

"Why does it matter? You two broke up a long time ago." I looked at the ground.

"Wow thanks captain obvious." She rolled her eyes.

I stood up and threw my half full cup away. I suddenly lost my appetite for Starbucks. Suddenly my phone beeped. I leaned against the trash can.

"Wanna see a movie?" Read a text message from Zack

"I'd love to! What time?" I typed back not looking up.

"Right now actually. But If its not a good time we could do it another day....." The message appeared on my screen instantly.

"No it's fine. Meet @ my house." I sent it quickly and put my phone in my pocket.

Honestly I didn't feel like hanging out with Felicia anymore. I know she doesn't know I'm dating Zack but she shouldn't be mad he's dating another girl. She is the one that broke up with him.

"I gotta go." I told Felicia when I walked back to the table.

"Why?!? We just started hanging out." She stood up quickly.

"My mom wants to hang with me and Zuri." I lied.

"Oh ok. Bye." She whispered and walked out of Starbucks.

"That was a really good movie." I smiled at Zack as we walked hand in hand.

We ended up seeing iron man 3. Honestly I loved action movies. They always got my adrenaline pumping. Not to mention the movie was in 3D, making it even better.

"Yeah it was, do you wanna head to your place." He stopped walking and held my hand.

"We can't. My moms there hanging with James." I rolled my eyes at the thought.

"What you really mean is "you haven't told her about us yet." He raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Exactly." I said and kissed him on the cheek, and we headed to his car.

The next day:

The mall was not that crowded which was perfect. The smell of pretzels instantly hit my nose as we walked past Annie's. I decided that I wanted to get my dress from this store called Daydreams.We walked into the store and Justin Beibers song "boyfriend" filled the speakers. Just then I spotted the perfect dress. A black dress with a bright floral design all over. I grabbed it off of the rack and went straight to the dressing room. Felicia ran right behind me. After about five minutes of admiring myself in the mirror I walked out of the dressing room, modeling the dress for Felicia. It was perfect.

"That dress is cute!" She nodded her head

"Do you think Zack will like it." I blurted out then just replayed the words I had said in my head. Uh-oh

"Wait, what?"she looked at me confused.

"Nothing!" I shrugged it off and tried to hurry back into the dressing room, but Felicia grabbed my arm.

"No, did you just asked me if I think Zack will like it?" She frowned.

Felicia is my best friend. I hated keeping secrets from her. Sooner of later I had to tell her about my relationship. I just hated I had to tell her like this.

"Yeah, Thats because Zack and I are dating." I looked at her scared.

Her mouth dropped in shock and anger."Really? Your dating my ex? Some friend you are. You Bitch. She spat at me

Felicia had always called me a bitch in a friendly way but the way she just called me it was full of hate and disgust.

I had no time to reply because she was already walking out the store. She looked back at me raising her middle finger up.

"You little dirty whore!" She spat one more time.

I ran back into the dressing room and started to undress. And to think that if Felicia was my real friend she would be happy for me. Her words stung like a fresh paper cut. I changed back into my clothes and purchased the dress at the register. I really wanted to get home to talk to my mom. She would be the only person to truly understand.
