***Nicole POV***
I walked to front while texting my mom to say ill be home later since in walking with Dylan. After tucking my phone in my pocket, I spotted some chick kissing some dudes lips off. Ew, I wish some people would keep it to simple little kisses, not full- out kisses (you know, the ones that last like two minutes, they get air, then go right back? Yea those ones...)
Just then, the couple separated, and turned so that I could see the two from their sides. I noticed the chick was Melanie, one of the desperate girls, well.... That didn't surprise me but who the boy was did. I gasped, it was Dylan, my very own boyfriend (well now ex-boyfriend) was cheating on me.

Melanie said to me
"Won't Nicole be here soon?"
I responded with "No, Usually if she says five minutes, it's ten minutes" We laughed. I said my goodbyes, including one last kiss, and waved bye.
I suddenly spotted Nicole with a hurt, sad look on her face. This time she really meant five minutes...crap.
I started walking towards her slowly, but she turned and started walking faster. I ran up to her and grabbed her shoulder gently.
"don't touch me" she said quietly
I kept my hand on her shoulder
"Nicole wait please, I can explain" I said
"that's what all the cheating boyfriends say. I trusted you. A little part of me knew you were bad news, but the rest of me was saying, 'take him, he's perfect', and those parts buried that one part of me like lava covering the land. But I should have listened to that part of me, because you were the lava this time, and you burned me inside. You picked me up gently like I was a precious vase, and then slammed me down like throwing a rock on the ground." She said. She was crying, but she continued. "I remember when we first were boyfriend and girlfriend, and I thought 'I can trust him, he flawless' but you aren't. You have one flaw, and that one flaw is you. All of you." She finished and was in full tears.
She started walking away, but I grabbed her shoulder again. She stopped and opened her mouth again.
" and one more thing, how could you?" And ran off.
Crap... I thought. I watched her run off, with her brown hair blowing in the wind.

I wiped cold tears from my eyes. I kept running until I was out of Dylan's sight. I checked the time on my phone and there was a message from Dylan. Before reading it I made a mental note to change his contact name.
the text said:
From: Dylan/bf
Text me when your almost there.
After reading that message, I was glad I hadn't. I started walking because I turned a corner so was out of his sight. I walked a few minutes and spotted a 5 dollar bill on the ground. I looked around and picked it up. Finders keepers, losers weepers, I said in my head.
With my 5$, I decided to go get a small tub of ice cream at the convenience store near my house.
I started walking a bit faster because my mouth was starting to drool for some ice cream. I remembered my mental note to change Dylans contact name. I changed it to: Dylan💀. "Perfect" I thought aloud.
As I tucked my phone back into my pocket, I rounded the corner to my house, which meant I could go get some ice cream! I approached the store and walked in. I quickly spotted the small selection of ice creams. I picked out my favourite: Mint chocolate chip. I grabbed my five dollars from my pocket, walked up to the counter and paid for the ice cream.
Before I walked out, I noticed the cashier was someone familiar. It was Cole.
"Got the breakup blues?" He asked.
"Maybe.... How did you know?" I responded.
"Well, your eyes are red and your eyelashes are sticking together and it looks like the tips of your long sleeves are wet, most likely from wiping cold tears off your face." He answered. Dang he could be a detective I thought.
"Ok alright. Dylan was cheating on me and I broke up with him" I said sadly. A tear threatened to escape my eye but I caught it before it fell onto my cheek.
"Aww. Dylan always seemed like bad news to me.... Here, why don't I pay for this one and then you can get another one if you wanted to..." He said awkwardly
"Thanks Cole. Thank you" I said. I needed those words of (somewhat) comfort. "What's your favourite kind?" I asked.
"Neapolitan, the kind with chocolate, strawberry and vanilla" he answered.
I bought that kind for him and he invited me over to his house.
"Um sure, I just have to let my mom know" I said. I immediately texted my mom. Coles shift was almost over, so I just waited his last 15 minutes. During that 15 minutes we talked and talked.
Eventually, his shift was over and the next person came from the back of the store. We walked out together and started going towards his house. His house was just down my street. On our way, I stopped and dropped off my bag at my house. Finally, we were there.
