"Karma is a bitch", I say then stuff my head in the pillow.

"Tell me about it", Johnson says looking at his phone. Ever since Nadia left him for some playboy he's been always on his phone.

I roll my eyes and grab Johnson's phone. I run to the bathroom and lock the door.

"What the fuck? why are you stalking her page?", I say continuing looking at his phone.

"I'm not stalking I'm just wondering what she's up to know a days", he says getting quieter as he finishes the sentence.

I scoff. "That's the definition of stalking idiot". I open the door and throw his phone at him. "Now that I have your attention I really need to tell you what's on my mind".

"Shoot"

"Ok so I was writing this really good essay for writing and turns out slutty Crystal stole my idea. I don't know how but she did." I say rubbing my temples. "What should I do? This essay is due in two days?"

"Well I know you're already a good writer Veronica-

"I already told you to call me V."

"Right anyways, you're a very good writer I'm sure you'll think of something." He says. I smile at him.

"You can go back to stalking Nadia now". I say opening the door and grabbing a granola bar that was on a counter.

"I wasn't stalking Nadia!" he yells. I roll my eyes and close the door. I suddenly bump into someone and drop my granola bar. "NO MY GRANOLA BAR"

I hear a very low chuckle. I look up and I make eye contact with my ex-friend Jack Gilinsky.

"Must be very funny huh. I lost a perfectly good granola bar and I'm starving", I roll my eyes. "You don't have to speak to me let me just clean this up", I say picking up the pieces of granola bar and throwing them in the trash next to me. "And I'll leave", I give him a fake smile and fix the straps of my bag.

I feel a warm hand grab my arm and I softly gasp. My eyes harden. "Im sorry can I help you?"

"I haven't seen you in so long what brings you in Nebraska University?" he says scratching the back of his head.

"I got a scholarship here? I already told you this when we were friends remember? Oh wait, you probably don't remember because you spent so much time with you're girlfriend Crystal." I say trying so hard not to slap him. So let me explain, Me, Johnson, and Jack were very close friends during high school but Johnson and I started to notice Jack changing and beginning more distant. We soon realized he had girlfriend. We then asked him to choose between Crystal or Johnson and I. He obviously chose Crystal.

His face softens. "Veronica please. I already asked you to forgive me. Johnson already forgave why can't you do the same?"

"We had something Jack and you know it. Does Tyler's party ring a bell?" I say.

"Yes I remember. We kissed but we were both drunk I thought it didn't mean anything to you." He says having a pleading look in his eyes.

"Of course it did! I loved you." I say whispering the last sentence and push him away.



Damn I have guts.
