"Uhm, honey, that Scott boy is at the door, he asks for you... shall I let him in?" I heard ma's voice from the living room. My eyes snapped up. Scott? What on earth was he doing here this early? I swallowed my tears.

"Let him in," I said with thick voice. Not long after I heard a few knocks on my door, and Scott came in.

"Hey, how are you holding up?" he asked with a sweet voice. This was so not Scott.

"I'm okay... I think. And you?" I asked.

"I don't know..." he started.

"Here, come sit," I said, pointing in front of me at the bed. "I can't believe Will could do something like that," I said and sniffled.

"Of course you couldn't, you're a girl!" Scott said.

"Yeah, but he was so nice to me! He was such a gentleman, always listening and taking care of me, you know," I said.

"You think. When he came back to school after that accident, well at first he was really shy, but then... BANG! Suddenly he was the lead of the gang again, the coolest. He was captain of the football team and he started bullying. Before he got together with you the first time he was a nice guy. You just knew that if you needed someone, he would be there, he was nice to everyone, and wouldn't allow bullying. After that accident he changed. Suddenly he became a worse version of ME! And that does say a lot," Scott said. My mouth formed an "O".

"You're not serious... are you?" I whispered.

"I am." I felt something hot running down my face, and reached up to it. Tears, of course. Why did I have to cry in front of this guy? "Hey, babe, come here," he said reaching out for me.

"Oh, no I see! That's why you're here! You know I'm devestated, and you tries to get my sympathy by telling me you're too, but really you just wants to fuck me. Get out Scott, I won't ever let you, believe me!" I said, my voice getting higher. I felt blood rush through my body.

"Hey, calm down girl, none of that is true, I promise you!" he said with a laugh.

"So tell me, why are you here, all of a sudden being so nice? It's only a few weeks since you tried to get my best friend into bed, come on! Nobody changes that fast!"

"Well I did change that fast, I'm hurt too, Katie. My first real girlfriend cheats on me with one of my best friends! Of course I'm... well, not broke but... sad, yeah I'm sad too! I'm not a machine, though you seem to think so!" he said angrily. I looked confused at him. Scott, sad? No way in hell. Then I saw something in his eyes. A flash of pain, not lasting long, but I saw it.

"Hey, sorry Scott, I shouldn't have... it's just hard to trust you because of what you did to Lizzy, you see?" I said, and grabbed his hand. I hadn't made up my mind yet, but if he was lying, he certainly would be the best liar in history.

"Of course, take your time," he said with a sad wink.

“Just take a minute and look,” he said. I nodded, and looked over at them for a few seconds. “Tell me what you see. The entire scene.”

“Okay... High school students eating. They laugh, they talk, and in the middle of it all, my boyfriend's making out with the hottest chick.”

“Wrong. Well, not wrong. There is no wrong and right in this picture, but do you want to hear what I see?” he asked. Wow, Scott-the-king shows the philosophic side of himself.

“Go ahead,” I said, exited to hear where this were going.

“What I see is the dark side of popularity. Right now, a crazy war goes on under the surface. The laughing, the joking, it's all about being seen, being heard. They are so desperate for attention, they use each other as ladders to climb to the top. They all act like best friends, but in the end of the day, they all stab each other in the back if it helps them just one tiny step closer to being famous. True story.” I raised my eye brows.

“Excuse me, who are you and what did you do to Scott?” I asked, pretending to search the room for the real Scott.

“Hey! I know everything about that, I was The backstabber, and it is very enjoyable, until you get stabbed so hard you die. That happened to me at the party. I'm like a dead slug now,” he said and shrugged. “And by the way, Will isn't your boyfriend anymore, sweetheart.”

“Look at them. How can he kiss her like that already? How can he share tongue with her, when he did the same thing to me only two days ago?”

“Probably for the same reason he slept with her while you were together, doesn't seem that hard when you look at him, does it?”

“Screw you.”

“Thanks.” The bell rang, and we went off in different directions.

It was a really long day. Everywhere I turned I saw Will and Georgina. It was easy to spot where Scott's or Richie's fist had found Will's face, even though he had tried to cover it up with make-up. But the worst part: he fucking bragged about it! He actually bragged about being beat up! He also bragged about sleeping with Georgina, and that was just disgusting and heartbreaking.

I could tell Scott had a pretty bad day too. He walked around shooting threatening glares at everyone who looked at him for more than 0.25 seconds. It was actually really scary when he walked down the hall the crowd just split like the red sea. He also tried to ignore Georgina a hundred percent, but I kept catching him looking over at her.

* * *

Over the weeks, Will and Georgina kept showing off. One time they made out on a table in the middle of the cafeteria. I felt so alone, it was like a dagger in my heart. Every time I saw Will or Georgina someone pulled it out, just to put it back in. It was awful, but the worst part was that I had lost the two people who meant the most to me, Lizzy and Alice. They didn't even look at me anymore. I couldn't even remember why we fought in the first place, and I tried to say sorry, but they just nodded and walked past me.

I never new how vulnerable I was, but now I found out for sure. I cried almost every night, and I almost lost it, but I had my little brother, who I played a lot with. One time I brought him to the zoo, but that was a huge mistake. I almost had a breakdown, but I couldn't do that in front of my brother. I couldn't force the memories from the first date back. The best date.
