"Why do you treat me this way?" I asked softly. He looked shocked by the question, but then his facial expression softened. "Because...I like you." He mumbled. "What?" "I like you!"

I checked my phone for what seemed the millionth time in the past hour. I was texting Carter and she was telling me something about her and Nolen. Their homecoming was also tonight, but she had left early and from what she was telling me, Nolen had expressed his feelings and she didn't wanna be around him.
Everyone else had seemed to be having a good time, but I couldn't. The fact that Ashton was over there getting twerked on by some girl bothered the shit outta me. Even though I broke up with him, I still wanted him to be grieving his loss. He just lost one of the realist girls in the damn high school and he doesn't even look like he cares.
Layla and Kingston came from the dance floor, seeming happy as ever. I'm happy for them.
"Bri, you good? I know you looking at his fast ass over there." Layla said.
"I'm fine. I'm just texting Carter and she's telling me how her homecoming was."
"You sure? I can stay and talk to you."
"No, you have a date. I'm chilling."
"Okay." Layla said uneasily before walking away with Kingston.
Another ten minutes went by before she looked up from her phone again, only to see Christian walking in, looking at his phone.

I watched him as he talked to his friends, cursing myself for giving him this much attention. He walked right by me without paying me any attention. To say I was heart broken couldn't even explain half of it. I went over to Layla and put my head on her shoulder.
"He's here." I said.
"Who's he? Oh–oh." Layla said realizing. She turned and looked his way then turned back to me. "If I were you, I'd go back to the table or find another man."
"Why?" I asked looking over at him.
When I looked, I saw some girl laughing in his face and him holding two cups and the genuine smile that I used to get all the time.
I rolled my eyes and walked away. Homecoming sucked ass this year, and I didn't feel like staying any longer. I walked to Kingston's car and got in. They had picked me up, and I had the keys since he asked if I could hold them. I wasn't gonna leave or anything, just sit here until they decided to leave.
I plugged the aux in and searched for a song. I put on Thick Of It and got lost in the words. For a while I listened to songs that I listen to a lot when I'm in my feelings. They were really explaining how I'm feeling at the moment.
