SPECIAL: Gwen's POV

I see him in front of Kenya's classroom door. 

I put on my giddy grin charade as I bounce down the hall, towards Travis Woods. I am used to faking a smile by now, the depression eating away at my life. 

You would not expect someone like me to be clinically depressed. The "sunshine" of the school. Nope. I was never the same after the death of my twin brother.

I see him look me up and down and my looks sobers into a scowl, only he knows exists. 

We stood in awkward silence, until I finally speak my mind.

"So, you and Kenya? Was she once of your hook-ups?" I say in a dull tone, trying to void my voice of emotion, when very well it hurt so much to say. "You two dating?" 

I sure hope not. All he would do is fuck another girl and hurt her.

"I guess." He says nonchalantly.

"But your not TOGETHER, are you?" I saw right through his lies. The day he told me he loved me. The day he saw the skanky bitch behind my back. I gave him everything.

And I was the first girl, of his string of lies.

"Why do you care?" 

Why didn't you?

I could not let him hurt Kenya the same way he hurt me and everyone after. The classroom door opens and I throw myself on him, kissing the life out of him, making sure she sees.

I am saving her from heartache. I was the first girl he cheated on and I was damn sure not to make Kenya go through that.

She cries and heads towards the door. He slaps the SHIT out of me!

Fuck.

"How dare you?!" He screams, causing the hall to go silent.

"Its not like you don't sleep around. And your not dating her. Its not like you were going to stay faithful long. I was just doing Kenya a favor." I say, rehearsing hundreds of times in my head before it comes out.

I am saving her. "You have no clue what you did. Your her best friend!" 

"And your the only other person she trusts. Now she hates us both! Have fun with that." I say, acting like I don't care when I am secretly dying inside.

"I won't let him hurt you." I whisper to myself.

Kenya makes me feel whole. Like I am not broken. I won't let him break her.

I was the first girl to fall under his spell. I am the only "girlfriend", only commitment he has ever made. And when my brother died and I needed him most.

He fucked my cousin.

Yeah. I am sorry Kenya, but this needed to be done.

Please forgive me.
