Colby’s P.O.V

I watched as Brie gave that Emo Boy a hug in the middle of the lunch room. It made me disgusted that she was clinging to him. He was a complete weirdo and I have heard rumors that he has a troubled past. Something about how his dad left his mom and not more than three days later his mom committed suicide. My money was on the table that Brie didn’t know that about him, admittedly I didn’t know that either till like an hour before lunch. Lets just say I was interested to know who the hell he was and why he was trying to worm his way into Brie’s life.

When I saw him snake his arm around her shoulder and exit the lunchroom it sent more over the edge. I quickly stood up and tossed my lunch tray in the trash, not caring that I hadn’t even touched the food. My legs carried me in the direction of Brie and that boy.

Soon, I caught eye of them near the front doors. I watched Brie stop before exiting the front doors. At first I thought she was going to turn around and catch me following them. But instead she just yelled out in the hall that she had to use the restroom. Emo dude chuckled and she ran off in the restroom.

I wasted no time in confronting him. “She won’t date someone like you.” I told him as I strolled right up to him. Mason (Emo Boy) glanced at me and furrowed his eyebrows.

“We are just friends.” he spoke. I grinned at him.

“Oh, so you put your arms around all you friend necks?” I quizzed.

“Listen, last time I checked, she didn’t have a boyfriend. Plus, we all know she won’t date someone like you...” he mocked. “So it’s really none of your business what I do. So do me a favor and stop acting like a possessive boyfriend.” His tongue was quick and witty, but I was better at playing this word game. My mouth opened to reply but he stopped me.“Oh wait you have nothing better to do since your druggie father died in some crash.” that sent me to my wicks end. No one talked about my father like that, even if it was true...

“I just don’t want Brie getting close to someone and have her cry because they killed themselves. That is how you mom died right?” I questioned. All the sudden I was pushed up against the lockers by Emo Boy. His fist was raised and was inches from my face when a voice stopped him.

“Mason! What the hell?!” I knew the soft voice to be Brie’s. I smirked thinking that was perfect timing. Mason on the other hand looked like a five year old kid that had been caught stealing. “I can’t believe you!” Brie called out to Mason. Soon her eyes flickered to me. “Are you okay?” She asked me. I pulled a frown and slowly nodded. Her eyes melted before they turned heated when she looked back at Mason. “I think I can do the article by myself, but thanks for the offer.” Brie said bitterly. With that Brie walked back towards the lunchroom. Emo Boy didn’t give me a second look as he chased after her.

I knew better, when Brie was angry like she just was, don't go after her, so I didn’t care he went after her because she was so angry that I knew she wouldn't even listen to a word he said.

I walked down the hall with a victorious smile. As I rounded the corner I was faced with a smiling Elliot.

“Be honest, you hate that she is getting close to another guy.” Elliot said to me with a goofy grin. “How does it feel?” He teased.

I narrowed my eyes at him, “The same as it felt for you to find out that Kimberly has a boyfriend.” I quipped to him. All the color drained from his face and his expression turned blank.

“She doesn’t have a b-boyfriend. Even if she did, I don’t care.” he lied to me. I chuckled of course he thinks he can lie to me. But I’ve only known him since we were little and it was easy to tell when he was lying.

“I have noticed she is smiling more and the puffy lips this morning … I think you and I both know she is shacking up with someone." I proclaimed. Just then Elliot’s expression turned dark.

“Yeah, so what?! You act like I give a fuc-” I cut him off.

“That is where your wrong buddy. Don’t think no one noticed your anger this morning when Brie confronted Kimberly about having a boyfriend. Do me and you a favor and cut the act bro.” I advised him.

“What about you?” He questioned. I shrugged my shoulders.

“What about me?”

“When are you going to stop acting that you have a heart of stone around Brie?” I sighed and decided not to answer him.

“See you in class, man.” with that I started to walk towards my class.

“Do me and you a favor and cut the act bro.” Elliot called out to me as I retreated down the empty hallway. I laughed and flipped him off before rounding a corner.
