When I walk up the steps of the front porch, I knock three times and wait. It's finally the weekend and I'm so glad. I had been planning to meet up with my friends from my old school for a while now and it was finally happening. I haven't seen them in almost a month but it feels like it's been forever. There's just been so much drama going on these last few weeks that I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders now that I'm here.

I hear the door open and lift my head up from the ground.

"Ahhhhh! Oh my god Tris!" they all scream when they open the door.

"Girls!" I exclaim with a huge smile on my face.

I give them all a hug and walk inside and we all make our way to Marissa's room. We all take a seat on her bed in a circle, smiling like idiots. I'm so happy right now, I've missed them so much. Back in school it was always the four of us. Marissa, Jasmin, Alyssa and me. We've been friends for the longest time, ever since the third grade.

"First things first, what the hell happened to you and Luke? Everyone was talking about it at school and I was like, no way." Lyssa states looking genuinely lost.

"Yeah" Marissa agrees.

Jasmin nods her head quickly, staring at me. Something seems wrong with her and I make a note of it to ask her later.

"Well long story short, I saw him kissing another girl in his apartment when I came and visited him during the first week of school." I say looking at all three of them.

"What?! He cheated on you? Who was the girl with him? He's such an ass!" Jasmin exclaims.

Her face slightly red with anger and she was pacing back and forth in front of us. We all just stared at her, me slightly confused as to why she was getting so mad about this. She smiled slightly and sat down on the bed again, not looking at us. Marissa was the first to break the silence.

"Well that was........ something" she says, eyeing Jasmin.

"Sorry. I just overreacted. I just don't think guys should do that, you know, cheat on other girls while their in s committed relationship."

"Mmhmm" Alyssa muttered under her breathe as she continued to say something I didn't quite hear.

I don't know if it's the fact that I've been gone for so long that things are a bit weird between us right now or if something has happened and No one is spilling the beans to me.

We went to the kitchen and made ourselves some lunch. We talked as we ate our burgers, mainly about how I'm doing at my new school. Once we all finished our burgers, we washed the dishes and put them away. Jasmin had to leave early to babysit her brother so I  gave her a hug and we said our goodbyes.

Once she left we decided to watch a movie. We put on a comedy and we all took a seat on the couch. Alyssa at the end, Marissa in the middle and me beside her. I was really into the movie and it was hilarious, but every time I looked over at the two of them they were always whispering. I knew something was up, but I was really into the movie so I just decided to ignore it.

It was getting towards the end of the movie, when Marissa paused it. I looked over at her and then at Alyssa and by their expressions I knew something was up. They weren't telling me something.

"We have to talk to you" Marissa says.

"Can we talk after the movie is finished it's just getting to the good part" I complain.

"No we need to talk now" Lyssa says with seriousness in her voice.

"Okay, what is it?" I say wanting to get it over with.

"Well..... um....... you see....... I.. we-" Marissa stutters.

"Jasmin is the one Luke was cheating with while you guys were dating" Lyssa blurts out cutting off Marissa.

"That's why she over exaggerated when she found out you caught him with another girl that wasn't her" Marissa adds.

I just sat there shocked. How could she do this to me? One of my best friends cheating with my boyfriend, that's EX boyfriend now. Instead of feeling sad, like I want to cry anger takes over in my body. I look up and face both of them. They are both studying my face trying to read me.

"If she wants to go and get her heart broken by that bastard then that's fine by me. I don't really care what she does with her life" I spit out.

"Now if you don't mind I'd like to finish the movie and enjoy this day with my two besties" I add with a calm voice and a small smile.

They both stare at me for a moment but once they process what I just said they take their seat on the couch and start the movie again. To be honest, I do feel a bit upset, like my best friend of all people. When I think about it, I should of seen this coming. She would always move from one guy to another. I just never thought she would move to Luke, he was mine.

When the movie was finished I had to leave so I said my goodbyes, gave them a hug and left. It just goes to show how much I thought I had a nice life before I moved. I thought I had an amazing boyfriend and loyal friends and I thought I was happy but it was just a bunch of lies piled on top of each other just waiting to tumble down. And they did. All at once.
