3:00p.m
grayson: hey

3:02p.m
me: hi

3:03p.m
grayson: can you come with me to get ice cream after school?

me, grayson, ethan, and daniela haven't hung out in almost three weeks total.

we've all been too busy with work and it's been stressing a lot of us out.

3:05p.m
me: yeah of course. which place?

3:06p.m
grayson: just meet me outside your classroom and i'll bring you.

3:06p.m
me: okay

my finger pressed on the lock button, shutting off the screen.

as my eyes stayed glued to the board, i couldn't help but think about something else.

about issac.

knowing that he could be here and so are all my friends, the truth will have to come out.

i just hope that they hear it from me instead of him.

—

"no! i was actually mad at you!" i defended myself with a non-erasable smile on my face.

"liar! you still hugged me!" he argued while eating his scoop of ice cream.

"because i was forced to!" i whisper shouted so i wouldn't grab everyone's attention.

"oh yeah you're right," he remembered that i didn't have much of a choice.

"but i was definitely mad at you when you lied to people about you breaking up with me," i scoffed annoyingly, slight sarcasm.

"and who cares?" his eyebrows raised, not understanding my point of view.

i leaned forward to lightly slap the side of his head, "dumbass. it made you seem like the bad guy."

he scoffed carelessly, "that was the whole point."

i rolled my eyes, "but i got mad that you were accused of the bad guy instead of me."

"i would've been upset with myself if i didn't take the blame," he squinted his eyes at me.

i shook my head. "whatever."

i love how him and i could talk about our past without making anything serious.

not caring about the situations we were in back then, made our friendship much easier now.

plus, the deal was dumb.
nothing good came out of it.

"keeping track of topic, how has your love life been?" i asked him before taking a huge spoon of ice cream in my mouth.
