Finding out

No Emotion Involved
Anthony's POV

"Are you SURE hes not with anyone else?" Vanessa asked again. Vanessa had suspected Lin's cheating, and, like I promised Phillipa , I was keeping my lips sealed. "No, Vanessa , for the fiftieth time, Lin isn't going out with anyone." Except Phillipa . Vanessa crossed her arms and looked annoyed. "Whatever," She scoffed, and walked off, shaking her bony ass. I stifled a laugh, then shook my head and turned to my locker, pulling out my Trig books.

Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands covering my eyes from behind me. "Guess who?" Came a voice that I'd recognize anywhere. "Tracie Tomas Please, please, please be Tracie Tomas ," I said, imagining the irritated look on my girlfriends face. She removed her hands from my eyes, and I turned around. She now had her hands on her hips, one eyebrow raised. "It's not Tracie Tomas . Sorry to dissapoint,"

"Aw, baby," I smirked, walking over to her and closing the space between us. I enveloped her into a hug, and she reached up to kiss my cheek, evidently not annoyed anymore. "You're no Tracie Tomas , but..." I began, feeling her stiffen in my arms, "You are so much better," I concluded, leaning down to plant a kiss on her lips. It started as a soft, simple kiss, but accelerated until we were full-on making out. Someone near us cleared their throat, and I tried not to notice. Instead, I focused on pulling Jasmine closer to me than she already was. I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt for keeping it from her that one of her best friend was in an affair with Lin - Jasmine hated unfaithfulness. She despised it. And if she found out that I knew that her best friend was dating someone elses boyfriend... I didn't even want to think about it.

But, then again, I couldn't tell her. I couldn't do that to their friendship. She noticed I was distracted since my lips had stopped moving against hers, and she pulled away and stared at me quizzically. Just then, we heard someone clear their throats again. I looked up, and Jasmine turned around to see Lin standing there. "There is no PDA in the halls," He said in an overly-formal voice that made us all laugh. "Okay, but seriously, if you're gonna swallow each other, please make sure there's no-one else around." He pretended to shudder, then grinned. "Vanessa's getting suspicious, huh?" I first made sure Jasmine wasn't looking at me, then I made frantic 'shut the fuck up!' gestures with my hands and face. "Uh, Anthony , are you having a seizure or something?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at me. "Okay, definitely having a seizure," He uttered, shaking his head. Jasmine looked at me, and I stopped moving my hands around and pretended to be scratching the back of my head. She turned back around, shaking her head. "Boys," She muttered, shaking her head.

"So, what did you mean by 'Vanessa getting suspicious'?" Jasmine asked, looking interested. I grimaced. Here it comes.

"Oh... you didn't know?" I could only pray that Lin wouldn't let on that I knew.

"Know what?"

"Well, Anthony will tell you, I guess. I thought he'd have told you already." Shit. Shitshitshitshit. I glared at him, and he shrugged. Sometimes, Lin was really clueless.

"Tell me what?" Jasmine asked, staring at Lin . Then she turned around to face me. "Anthony ?" She asked. I cleared my throat nervously, and Lin grinned. He obviously couldn't wait to watch this event unfold. "Well... Ur... Lin is kind of cheating on Vanessa ," I whispered the last part, cringing as I spoke as I waited for her reaction. "Lin is cheating?" She stopped to glare at Lin , and then continued. "What the fuck, Lin ? If you're not happy, just leave! Why would you cheat? And who-" She stopped, and gasped, her eyes widening as she came to terms with the situation. I held my breath, waiting for the inevitable rant that was sure to come. Lin looked entertained. The bastard. "Phillipa ?! You're cheating on Vanessa with Phillipa ? How could you?!" She turned around to glare at me. "And you knew?"

"Um... well..."

"That's a yes, then! Lin was playing thee pimp, taking on three girls at once, and my boyfriend knew and didn't say anything?! Why?"

"Because I knew you'd react like this!" She took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of her nose between her thumb and forefinger. "That's a shitty excuse," She retorted after calming down a little.

"I know, but... Pippa ... kind of told me not to tell you?"

"And you listened to her? What does she know?"

"She's one of your best friend!"

"Ha! Some best friend she is, then!" She shook her head. "I am so done with her."

Lin interjected now, coming to the rescue of his girlfriend. Well, one of his girlfriends - the only one he likes. He seemed to finally see that this situation wasn't funny. "Whoa, whoa, whoa - back the fuck up. You're going to stop being Phillipa's friend because she didn't tell you I was cheating on Vanessa ?"

"Uh, yah! What kind of friend is she if she can't tell me something like that?" Lin shook his head, "You can't break your friendship over something like that,"

"Watch me," She growled. I tired to put my arm on her shoulder to stop her from running off, but she slapped it away. "Leave me alone, Anthony ." She said before walking away from us both. "Nice going, retard," I said to Lin , slapping his forearm. He shrugged and jammed his fists into his pockets. "How was I supposed to know?"

"What part of this-" I made frantic 'shut up' movements with my hands and face like I'd done before -"Don't you fucking get?"

"I dunno... Oh, shit! Phillipa gonna kill me for this!"

"Good riddance."

"Shit shit shit shit shit! What am I gonna do? I just made Phillipa lose her best friend!"

"Didn't she tell you not to tell jasmine you were cheating?"

"No! Dammit, what am I gonna do?"

"The fuck am I supposed to know? You'll have to tell Vanessa you're cheating before jasmine does,"

"She wouldn't." Lin interrupted, unbelieving. "You don't know her very well if you think she wouldn't."

"Vanessa'll kill me!"

"It's your fault for going with two of 'em at once."

"I've tried breaking up with Vanessa , trust me, I have, but she's just so fucking persistent! She never leaves! I've broken up with her multiple times now, but she just keeps coming back like some kind of retarded boomerang."

"Tough shit. You'll have to face the music," I took a deep breath. "And so will I. Jasmine's not gonna let this one go so easily..."

"Tough old bird, jasmine is."

"What'd you call her?" I retorted, feeling protective of her now.

"Oh calm down. It's not like she's your girlfriend anymore."

"Uh, yes she is."

"I dunno, man... 'Leave me alone, Anthony ' sounded like a break up to me?"

"And you're, what, the break up maestro?" Though I was starting to get a little worried now. Had she broken up with me?

"Indeed I am. Thanks to the unshakable girlfriend,"He shook his head, lost in pity for himself. I didn't respond. Jasmine just broke up with me.

Oh, fuck.
