Normal writing; narrator     / writing with lines underneath: Adam

Holidays were over and school was back, Romie and Rowan were closer than ever and i still don't remember anything that happened that night and so does Romie or at least i thougth she did. Me and Adam were close, he kept me company whenever Romie was hanging out with Rowan and he made me forget for a while.                                                  I suspected that Romie and Rowan were dating but then again she would tell me, we were spending less time together,we were drifting apart and i was sick of trying to reach out for her.

I was sleeping when she texted me the news, my suspections were correct, they were dating well not actually they just confessed each other's feelings on text, i had a bad feeling about it, i mean who askes out somebody or tell them they like them on text but i was in no position to judge

I was in class trying so hard not to fall asleep while my Arabic teacher was lecturing us about desipline and respect and religion, should've been an Islamic Education teacher cause that's all she talk about when i saw Romie making weird faces at me and dabbing which maked me crack up and resulted a very nasty glare from ms what's her face, through the windows which later i realised were her way of telling me to get out of class and meet her but i couldn't,interrupting this teacher during her lecture was not something you wanted to do,trust me, been there done that, when Romie saw that i wasn't coming she took matters into her own hands.                                                                                                                  I thought she left that until i heard a knock, my teacher opened the door

"Excuse me miss, my friend right there " she pointed at me " is wanted in the principal's office" she smiled, she was such a manipulatore, my teacher told me to go.

We couldn't go the bathroom because,well it stinked,it smelled horrible so instead we went to the gym area where there was a field

"Guess what" 

"You got kicked out of class"

"No, i told my teacher i had to go the bathroom, an emergancy"

"This is your emergancy,you just made me skip a very important and valuable lesson"

"You looked like you were about to fall asleep at any second" she raised her eyebrows

"True"

"You should be grateful i got you out of that class"

"I am trust me, so anyways what's up"

"She asked me out "

"Who"

"Rowan"

"No way"

"Yeah way, i can't believe it "

"Neither can i"

"I have a girlfriend" she giggled

"You have a girlfriend" i grinned,

"Congrats"

"Thanks" she smiled

Romie looked like she liked her a lot, she sounded like a love sick puppy, yet i still couldn't bring myself to like her,there was something wrong about her or my best friend instinct were showing.

It has been a month since Rowan asked Romie out, and they were all over each other, i was suprised that people weren't weirded out by the amount of PDA, but we were in a society where girls showed a lot of affection to each other, they were probably thinking " oh, she got herself a new best friend" and that hurt me even if it wasn't one hundred percent true, i already felt replaced, we didn't meet up at break anymore, she stopped coming over, i was tired, tired of feeling replaced,tired of trying to keep what ever was left of our friendship alive, i was tired of caring so i did the same thing, i stopped showing up at our meet up place, i stopped caring, but she didn't notice and that broke my heart.    
      I forced myself to stop obssessing over her, Adam was a great distraction, but it wasn't too long till i gived up espically when they rubbed it in my face,it crushed me, i felt a huge weight on my heart.                                                                                                              I had to accept the fact that i was being replaced and just move on.
