After lunch, I needed to use the bathroom so I said goodbye to my friends and left the cafeteria. Connor sat with Marissa at lunch, while I sat with Lucy, Callie and Mark.

I didn't want to feel angry, but every few seconds I would look up and see Marissa playing tonsil hockey with Connor. It almost made me nauseous.

Okay so I lied, I saw Marissa head towards the bathrooms and I needed to confront her. I need to know what her plan is and why she moved in on my ex-boyfriend.

As soon as I entered the bathroom, I noticed Marissa talking with Ruby, one of her friends.

"Oh, hello Marissa!" I exclaimed with a smile. "So nice to see you!"

"Um, what?" She gave me a pointed look.

"Hey Ruby, do you mind if I speak with Marissa for a sec?" I fake smiled. "It won't take long."

"Um, okay. You good Marissa?" Ruby asked turning toward Marissa, but Marissa only nodded.

"See ya." Ruby said before walking out of the bathroom.

"What do you want?" Marissa glared.

"Oh nothing at all, I just would like to know why you are with Connor." I smirked, taking a step closer to her.

"Why is that any of your business?" She smiled. "You broke up with him."

"That's not the point. We made a deal, Bradley. I will keep your little secret, if you steer clear of me. That includes Connor." I took another step towards her, but she didn't falter or take a step back.

"You didn't tell me I couldn't date Connor," She began. "You simply told me I couldn't tell him about you and Mark, which I didn't." She shrugged.

"Then how could you possibly get him to date you?" I asked, not believing her for a second. "He's never liked you, even before I started dating him."

That made her send me a glare.

"Simple; I told him that you were a conniving little bitch who liked to blackmail people, and that's why Mark stopped seeing me. Then I told him that Mark lied to me and actually used me because he wanted another girl," She sent me a smirk, "And so I basically cried into his arms and he eventually let me in. He told me all about how you broke his pathetic little heart and so I consoled him as he consoled me. One thing lead to another and let's just say, he isn't thinking about you at all right now." She smiled wide, tossing a few strands of her hair over her shoulder while leaning over the sink to wash her hands.

"Why are you doing this? What is your motive?" I glared, feeling mad at Connor for trusting this fake Barbie.

"Who says I need to have a motive? Honestly, I figured something out. If I can't hurt you by telling everyone your little secret with you and Mark... then I can certainly hurt you by dating Connor and tarnishing his perfect image of you piece by piece." Her wicked grin sent me fuming as I lunged for her.

Marissa seemed startled at first, but then stepped to the side so I missed her and almost charged into the bathroom wall. Luckily, I caught myself and all I could do was laugh.

Hysterically laughing. That is what I am doing right here in this very bathroom standing next to Marissa.

Marissa gave me a confused look before rolling her eyes. "Man, you're insane. Leave me alone, and don't worry, your secret is still safe with me." She winked at me before stepping around me to leave the bathroom.
