"Really?" Laila asked.
I nodded. I was going to do this.
I felt Kira nod. "Do it on the phone, it's three times meaner." She suggested.
Tessa caught my hand as I lifted my phone. "Are you completely sure about this?"
I nodded. My phone beeped on my hand.
Luke <3:
Syd, plz.
"Text number nineteen for today. I should really change his name. So text or call?" I said.
"Call. Old fashion." Kira said.
I dialed Luke's number. He answered almost imeadiately. "Syd, hey. We need to talk. Can you meet me at the mall square?"
"No, Luke, I'm super busy today." I answered.
"Okay, then. How about tomorrow?"
"I've got band practice all week. But now is okay. For the next five minutes." Then he sighed. "Talk, Luke."
"Sydney, I'm real-"
"No, you're not." There was hard core meaness in my rock solid voice. I was doing this. "Luke, I really don't care about Naomi. This, in fact, has nothing to do with Saturday. Okay, it does a little because I realized this later that night. But I'm done."
"Done?"
"Finished. I was balancing on thin ice. It cracked several times. I'm done with trying to ignore it. I don't need the drama. I don't need someone who is socially tied with Naomi. I'm over this. Bye, Luke." I finished.
"Sydney, wait." tried Luke.
I hung up the phone. The thing is, a sober Matt can make a lot of sense. He did on Saturday. I was out of my mind trying to make it work. Dating outside my clique, that equaled heartbreak. I just left, closing the door on Luke's chapter in my life.
"Very nice." Kira said.
Laila smiled, "Luke's on the market again. Oh, but I'm sorry for you, Syd."
"Don't be." I replied. I ate a couple chips. Tessa didn't say anything. She saw my reasoning to do this. But she was always skeptical, and hates consequence. "I can focus on other things instead of on a relationship."
I stood up. "Let's go hit the movies." I took my phone out and texted Brian, Chase, and Carter. "I'm in need of help from the Avengers."
The girls followed me out of my house. All three looked at the break up in different ways. I saw it as the end of only a chapter.
