                “Have you seen Scott?” I asked one of his classmates. We were in our sophomore year in high school. Scott and I weren’t classmates.

                “I think he went back to our classroom.”

                “Thanks.”

                I was so excited to see Scott today. I wanted to tell him the good news that I was selected to represent the school in a competition. He would be so proud of me.

                I went to his classroom but instead of me surprising him, I was the one surprised.

                Scott was kissing another girl. I meant it, he was kissing her back.

                A girl I’ve never seen before and I know she was not one of his classmates. So, why was she here? Did Scott bring her here so they could make out?

                Scott’s eyes widened when he saw me.

                I felt hurt but you know what I did. I didn’t cry. I went to them and slap the girl first. Then I looked at Scott.

                “Lindsay. Let me explain.” His voice was quivering.

                “I don’t need to hear your explanation. What I saw is enough.”

                “There’s nothing going on between this girl and me.”

                “Nothing?”

                “I swear Lindsay. She just – “

                “Come on Scott. I saw you kissing her back. Now you tell me nothing is going on between the two of you?”

                “Please Lindsay. Just listen to me.”

                “No.” my voice is calm. But actually, I wanted to shout at him.

                “I love you. Please!”

                “Don’t you dare say those words to me!” There, I burst.

                I slapped him so hard and I ran.

                My brother, Damian was the only one I tell my problems to.

                “Sigh. I guess they did it again,” my brother told me.

                “What are you saying?” I said. I was crying in my bedroom and Damian was here beside me.

                “Did you know why we broke up?”

                I know what he meant by ‘we’. Him and Scott’s sister.

                I shook my head.

                “She was seeing another guy.”

                My eyes widened.

                “Who was he?” I asked.

                “I don’t know actually. I’ve never seen the guy before.”

                “Are you the one who broke up with her?”

                “Yeah.”

                “How?”

                Damian looked at me. “Uhm … well … I just told her that I know she was seeing another guy – “

                “What did she say?” I interrupted.

                “She denied it at first. But she then told me that she loves the two of us.”

                “Ooh.” Was it really possible to love two people at the same time?

                “It sucks right? But I just told her that she was free. She told me that she doesn’t want to lose me. I didn’t answer back and I just left her.”

                “Just like that?”

                “Just like that.”

                Damian and I. We experienced the same thing.

                The past few days, Scott always went to our house trying to talk to me. But Damian won’t let him.

                “I trusted you Scott. I thought you’re nothing like your sister. But I guess you are.” That’s what Damian told him.

“I’m not like my sister. I love Lindsay – “

                “You love her? Is that why you kissed another girl?”

“Just let me explain to her. Please Damian.”

                “No. Just leave her alone, okay?”

                I was at my window looking down at them. Good thing my parents went out of town. I saw Damian pushed Scott so hard that he tumbled down. My heart skipped a beat.

                Scott wasn’t standing up.

                “Please let me talk to her.”

                But Damian didn’t answer back and went inside our house and I heard the door closed so loudly. I was looking at Scott still in the ground.

                I closed the curtains and that was the last time I saw him. He and his family left and I’ve never seen them since.
