English_Ruler: Have fun in class today, A.
English_Ruler: I hope your test goes well.
English_Ruler: I saw you today. With John. You looked so happy.
English_Ruler: What a shame it would be if something happened with you guys.
***
I turn off my phone just to stop getting texts from this person. I told John that they stopped bugging me, probably moving on to their next obsession.
Obviously, that was a lie.
*****
I sing a little tune about killing friends and family while I look at Alexander's pictures on Instagram. There are a lot of pictures of him and John. Eventually, it will be just me and Alex. We'll be happy. That's not something John could give him. Especially if I ruin their relationship.
*****
I wake up to the ding of my Instagram notification. I yawn and grab my phone off of my desk.
English_Ruler: Hey Alex. I'm glad you decided to break up with that weirdo John to actually be with me.
English_Ruler: I don't like it when you lie, even if it isn't to me.
English_Ruler: I love you. See you later.
Turtle.Boyo: Um... I think you have the wrong person. This is John Laurens, not whoever Alex is.
English_Ruler: Oh! I apologize, John. I was trying to reach Alexander Hamilton. My bad. I guess I pressed the wrong person.
Turtle.Boyo: Are you and Alex together?
English_Ruler: Yup. For about four weeks now.
Four weeks ago was when Alex and I had our date... No.
They have to be lying.
But what if they aren't?
Why would they lie about that?
I feel a tear run down my face. I don't bother wiping it away.
***
Alex finally returns from class around noon.
"Hey, Turtle," he says.
I don't answer him. I stare at my phone screen.
"John?"
I glance up at him for a second.
He sees the red in my eyes from crying. He kneels down in front of me.
"What's wrong, my sweet?"
"When were you going to break up with me?"
"What?"
"Were you just going to lie to me and never tell me?"
"John, what are you talking about?"
"You're cheating on me."
"I would never cheat on you. John, I--" He stops.
"He told me you two have been dating for about four weeks."
"Who?"
"King George."
"The guy who was stalking me on Instagram?"
Tears run down my cheeks again. "Was he really stalking you, Alexander?"
"Yes. I have no idea who he was."
"Can I see your messages?"
"What?"
"On Instagram. Let me see them. You can see mine." I pull up the messages between me and this guy on Instagram.
He sighs and unlocks his phone. He hands it to me taking mine.
Today
8:30 A.M.
English_Ruler: I love you, Lexi.
English_Ruler: When will you realize I can make you happy while John just brings you down?
Pirate.of.the.Caribbean: John makes me happy.
Pirate.of.the.Caribbean: Now for the millionth time, leave me alone!
English_Ruler: I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love.
Pirate.of.the.Caribbean: Then, luckily for me my family is dead. Hashtag orphan.
English_Ruler: Oh my Chuck Alex that is not something to joke about. That is really sad.
Just Now
English_Ruler: If you really want me to leave you alone meet me on the roof of the arts building at 12:30. Bring John.
"John?"
I look up at Alex again.
"What he said. It isn't true. I would never cheat on you."
I look at the time on his phone, 12:17.
I stand up and grab my jacket. I hold the door open and turn to him. "Well, are you coming?"
He stands up and walks to my side. "Where?"
"I believe we have a meeting on the roof of the arts building in thirteen minutes."
