"Oh my gosh"

"Is it true?"

"I can't believe they broke up!"

People. People are sometimes irritating when they are meddling with someone else's business.

As I walked through the hallway, all eyes are on me, pathetic murmurs can be heard from their irritating mouths. It must be new to them that i'm not walking holding hands with my girlfriend on a Monday at school.

Oh, how can I forgot about yesterday? Right, she's now my ex.

"I heard that Krystal broke up with Amber because of Kai." A dirty blonde in front of me said.

"No? Where did you get that news? It was Amber. She did it because hel-lo? Don't you notice the way she look at Yuri?" Strawberry blonde said.

These two. How can they afford walking just in front of this school's queen bee? Plus them talking about my break up with Amber boils my blood.

"Oh my gosh girls haven't you heard that Amber broke up with ME cause she's transferring schools and we can't handle long distance relationships"

I can't manage to not butt in into their conversation because hey! It's just my life, my love life their talking about.

"And for the record none of my friends are the reason of our break up and Amber DOES NOT HAVE a ROMANTIC AFFECTION towards Yuri. She treats her as if she's Amber's little sister. And please when you're going to talk about someone life make sure the details are correct okay?"

"And oh, next time, make way for your Queen btches."

I turned my back at them not waiting for the two to reply and say sorry. I don't need one anyway. And started to strutt my way towards the cafeteria where my friends are waiting.

But little did anyone know that Krystal said was a lie. There's no transferring of school that's gonna happen. She just said that to save her face. To save her from shame.

Krystal made her way to "their" table located at the center of the cafeteria, where Taemin, Kai and Yuri are waiting for her. Krystal sat beside Yuri not giving her an acknowledging glance or even a hug she usually do to her bestfriend. The four sat in silence.

"Krystal I-"

"Save that shit, I don't wanna hear it." She hissed.

Yuri clamped her mouth shut, teary eyed. She's not used to her best friend's behaviour.

" Oh c'mon Krys give my baby a chance. There's no thing between you and Amber. Right Babe?" Taemin asked her girlfriend.

"Y-yes. Of course there's none."

Krystal looked at Yuri. After a few seconds she smiled an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry Yu. It's just that I'm really upset right now. I'm so sorry." She said as she hugged her bestfriend. Yuri then hugged her back and began to cry.

"I'm sorry too Krys, i really have no idea that Amber liked me. I should've known. I should've--"

"Shhh don't cry in here Yu. Everybody's watching."

Yuri secretly wiped her face, faced the crowd who's watching their whole drama and shouted "What are you looking at bitches?" to the crowd.

The crowd shushed for a moment, then went back to their own businesses.

If there's one thing they can't afford to lose, its their popularity.

"Hey Krys have you contacted Amber?" Kai asked then continued on eating his burger.

"No." She said.

Krsytal haven't called nor texted Amber since last night. She's still upset and sad last night that she couldn't afford to eat dinner because of their break up.

"I tried to call her but her phone's off."

What Kai said made her worry. Eventhough she's not with her anymore she still loves her.

"Maybe she's at her condo" Krystal made her voice as cold as possible to hide her worries.

"She said that she's going to spend the night at her sister's house since it's near the bar." Taemin said.

"Bar? She partied last night?!" Krystal angrily said. " I cried my heart out last night then there she was partying?!"

"Woah chill girl! You sure are brokenhearted last night" Kai said with a laugh.

"What's so funny about that?"

"Oh I don't know it's just that last night was Amber's birthday and we're supposed to be there but then things happened?"

Shocked. Krystal dropped her spoon.

"Oh right, I remember now. Maybe I'm that brokenhearted to forget such occassion."

She's so miserable last night that her ex's birthday slipped from her mind.

The bell rang. The four stood up bid their goodbyes and began to walk to each's designated classroom.
-
When Krystal arrived, all eyes are on her. Some gazes are apologetic, some are bored.

'Maybe its because of the break up'
She thought.

As she sat on her chair her homeroom teacher said something that made her pale, eyes teary and angry at the same time.

"Amber Josephine Liu's dead."
