The Summer Before Senior Year

Riley

That girl was laughing. 

Correction - that bitch is still laughing.

I would never be able to get some girls. Are you that desperate for a boy's attention that you'd make everyone to think that he'd knocked you up? Pathetic. Absolutely fucking pathetic. At first, I felt bad for her because it was obviously hard trying to tell a guy you randomly had sex with that you were carrying his baby but then I thought about how she was blaming this whole thing on my boyfriend.

Possessive much?

Either ways, her attention-seeking skills weren't something I admired and paired with lying? Definitely a crazy bitch.

"What makes you think I'll even tell you anything anyway?" she asked rolling her eyes at me.

"You do know there are paternity tests, right? And when you're forced to eventually take one, it'll be way more embarrassing for you so don't you think it's better to tell us?"

"Why should I tell you?" she sneered at me.

"BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO HELP YOUR PREGNANT PATHETIC ASS!" I screamed making Seth step on the brake abruptly.

"Yo Seth, you got yourself a crazy one. Nice." she chuckled. "Lemme guess, he promised that he'd stop being a player or something? Like that's ever gonna happen." she scoffed and rolled her eyes effectively ending all conversation.

Suddenly, doubt began to creep into my mind. 

Why do you want me Seth Winters? 

You're not enough for him.

He's gonna leave you anyway.

Maybe we should just go back to being best friends. I mean I liked him - a lot - but I could always stop. I did it before and I can do it again.

No you can't, because you're falling for him.

I quickly shut the stupid part of my brain up. I wasn't falling for Seth, I just liked the attention and the kisses. 

Liar.

I quickly shook my head and wordlessly got out of the car before muttering to Seth, "I'm done dealing with your crazy bitch and your numerous problems." 

I saw the way his face had become - I'd hurt him and I knew it but I felt horrible. It seemed like that was all I was doing these days. And I knew he was pissed because he got out of the car too and told me in an emotionless voice to handle the wheel while he went to the backseat to sit and talk to crazy bitch - oops, Melanie.

I wordlessly pushed the start button on Seth's car before driving off. Psycho bitch and Seth had started talking in lower tones probably because they didn't want me to hear any bit of their conversation. I was past caring at this point and tried to think of how my life would have been if I'd confessed my feelings to Seth when we were younger. We'd probably be hanging out together talking about something crazy or reminiscing or planning something for the other for our anniversary. I guess I'd driven us back into the main city because I'd just found myself in some crazy traffic that I was sure would take us the whole day to get out of. It was mid afternoon already but this traffic was damn crazy. I then decided to play some music to get rid of the somber mood in the car and absentmindedly played music from Beats One radio letting the radio host's voice drown my sorrows away.

About an hour later, I had only moved a little distance from where I originally was and was getting more frustrated by the minute. Then I heard her crying. Her sobs were no longer muffled and she was all out weeping with her hands over her face clutching the headrest of the passenger seat. Because I didn't want to turn back to see this and risk being insulted, I inconspicuously watched from the driver's mirror and then I saw Seth wrap his arms around her and bring her closer so she could cry on his shoulder while her legs were over his; she was basically sitting on him but thank God her butt didn't come anywhere close to his laps. I felt a little hurt because he never let Sam do this whenever she was crying. It was my exclusive right and I just hurt from seeing both of them so close to each other. He even kissed the crown of her head!
