To Break His Heart

September 4, 2017

I sit at a lunch table with Katherine and her friends. They were talking, but I wasn't listening. I take a bit of my cheeseburger, when I feel cold hands touch my bare back.

I turn around and see Hailee in her cheerleaders outfit.

She got close to my ear and whispered, "Can I talk to you? Somewhere private."

I look around as if I was looking for a person to ask permission. I grab my bag and Pre-Calculus book and start walking with her, leaving behind Katherine.

She led me into a small room in the back of the library. I took a sip from my juice. When the lights turn on, I see  another girl sitting there.

"Whose she?" The girl said. I couldn't quite see who it was since she had a snapback on that shadowed her face.

She walked closer to me and took off her hat. It was Rose.

"Hey aren't you... Lauren." She said.

"Laura." I clarified, "So what am I doing here."

"Umm I told Rose about what happened. You know Shawn." Hailee replied.

I nod my head in comprehension, yet I still don't know what I'm doing here.

"We want you to help us get revenge on Shawn." Hailee answered my non-asked-question.

"Oh." I simply say, "How am I supposed to help?"

"Well he broke up with both of us this morning and the things we had planned... well they won't work. We had to be with him." Rose answered.

"Again, how am I supposed to help?"

They look at each other. Wondering who would be the one to tell me their plan. They look back at me and Rose opens her mouth, but Hailee beats her to it, "We want to make you dateable enough so that he wants to date you."

I open my mouth, surprised at what she had said to me. My eyes were wide open and I nodded. Thinking. Trying to comprehend what she had just said.

I reply, "It's a good plan. But I can't. You should get someone who is willing to do something like this, because I'm not willing to tarnish my name."

"Laura please." She whined.

"You're the only person who can do this. We know that you have no feelings for him," I nod my head because it's true, "And you too have been in this position. We want to do this so that no girl has to go through this anymore." Hailee said.

"Laura you have no idea of how I felt when Hailee told me. I couldn't stop crying. I spent all night crying. Right now, I feel like crying. It hurts." Rose added.

I think about it longer. Their eyes seemed eager to know what I would say. I answer, "Okay."

They started to scream in excitement. I may be such a dull person at times put at this moment I join them.

"So, what's gonna happen next?" I ask.

"Well we already know what Shawn looks for in girls. Show skin, attitude, and for a plus... cheerleaders." Hailee answered.

I am not for becoming a cheerleader but to break this playboy's heart, I'll do it. "Alright, when do I start."

They looked at each other and startedwhispering to each other. Their whispers sounded like buzzing bees.
