Chapter 2

I slowly looked up from their clasped hands, the movement of Jace's thumb against Amy's skin, something he used to do to my hand whenever I was nervous.

"No...no, you can't be serious!" I chocked, my eyes stinging as unshed tears threatened to escape against my will. I didn't want to be one of those girls who cried and made a scene when they realize they've being cheated on.

"Just say it."I croaked out after a really long awkward silence. I could see Amy fidgeting from the corner of eye.

"Wha-" Jace frowned .

"Tell me that you actually want to leave me for my best friend." I was surprised how my voice sounded so calm when my heart was actually hammering in my chest.

"I-I ... Kat listen you don't want to do th- "

"Yes, yes I do. All this time Jace? All those times we had together? What was that? And Amy? All those times we watched girls being used by their selfish boyfriends ...what were you thinking? How could you do this to me? I thought I could trust you, both of you, but clearly I was wrong." I couldn't stand it anymore I let the tears spill down my face as I forced the words out. I turned around my face hot with shame and I mentally cursed myself for crying in front of Jace and Amy.

I quickly turned away from my- I didn't even know what to call them anymore. I walked away from the store, it was getting late and I remembered that I left my backpack in my locker. I walked back to school ignoring the noises around me. I sniffed and wiped away my tears by the back of my hand .The sun was already setting and my mom was probably already worried.

I walked through the school gates that fortunately were still open. I trudged over to my grey locker, the sound of my sneakers echoing along the empty hallway. I unlocked my locker and grabbed the turquoise backpack inside. I pulled both straps over my shoulders and shoved my hands in the pockets of my ugly grey school pants.

All that time, only one thought kept running in my head; why me? Why Amy and Jace? Why did this have to happen to us? We were the only people in school who haven't changed since middle school. The only 'best friends' who stayed 'best friends', so why did that have to change? I couldn't get through my head, I couldn't wrap my head around the events that happened just moments ago.

Thankfully I was out of the school gates before I bumped into anyone. I was walking on the sidewalk just a few blocks away before I heard my name.

"Hey pussy Kat! Need a ride?"

I looked up and regretted it the moment I spotted him. Aaron Lee was sitting in his black Ford pickup truck, windows down and staring at me with an eyebrow up hiding under his dark hair. I stopped walking and he stopped the car. He leaned against the steering wheel looking at me expectantly.

"What do you think ass hole?"

He grimaced at my answer and I swore I saw his ego slowly bursting into tiny little pieces.

"Yikes, someone's PMSing," I rolled my eyes, disgusted, and continued walking.

"Hey wait, I'll give you a ride, come on!" He called after me, but I really wasn't in the mood. I just wanted to be alone for one second. Couldn't he see that? So I kept walking while I heard him drive after me, still calling my name until I felt like I was about to explode.

"Kat, Katrina, Kat, Ka-"He was using a different pitch for every time he called my name when I interrupted him.

"Ugh, shut up! If I ride with you will you shut your mouth?!" I exploded at him and stopped walking to glare at him. He stopped his car and stepped out opening the passenger door for me. I ducked in and he closed the door after me. I didn't trust his driving skills so I buckled up my seatbelt.
