The crowd around us grew bigger and bigger, but I didnt care. All I could focus on was Eli's words.

"...and we made a bet that if I could get you to date me for a year then they would buy me a new car."

I stared at him in disbelief. A new car? "You bet on me... for a new car?" I asked.

"Um..yeah im really sorry about that," he scratched the back of his neck, awkwardly looking at the crowd of whispering students and cell phones, but he didn't look the least bit sorry.

I stood there, hands shaking, afraid of what he was about to say next. Was he going to break up with me? Keep dating me and act like nothing happened? Or was he just going to walk out of my life like every one else did?

"I don't think we should see each other anymore." Pain. "You're a cool girl and all, but you're just not my type." Regret.

I took a deep breath and looked him in the eye. The words that came out of my mouth next broke my heart for the third time since birth.
"O-okay, if that's what you want"

He gave a little smile and walked
away with his friends who looked like they were trying not to laugh. With trembling lips I walked through the crowd as fast as possible to get to my car.

"Looks like im getting a new car!" He shouted happily in the distance.

The ride home was silent, aside from Taylor Swift's White Horse playing in the background. Funny right?

"Stupid..." I muttered to myself. Stupid was all I could think of myself. I don't know why I thought someone as popular as Eli would like me.

I regret everything.

Stupid girl. You should've known, you should've known.

I'm so hurt. I put my heart and soul into our relationship for a little over a year. He was the only person I thought I could trust. He was just like the rest, he walked right out of my life.
