Hey, do you like me? - True Crush story

Hey, do you like me? - Part 14

It was a dull Sunday, a boring Sunday. I rolled around on my bed watching Youtube videos with a bag of chips as my companion. Once in every few minutes, I would always check my phone for any new notifications. There weren't any, except for a few messages from Megan, but I didn't bother to read them or respond to them. A few times I would go to me and my Reina' conversation, staring at my phone, with a feeling that Reina would text me. It never happened. So instead, I went to Reina's Instagram. On her page, there were a few photos of her and her friends, some pictures of sceneries and food, all very Reina-like. 

Scrolling through the pictures, I couldn't help but smile. As I was looking through her pictures, I realized a new photo pop up in her feed. It was a photo of her and a few other people. After staring at Reina for a few seconds, I looked through the people, trying to notice anyone familiar. There were all strangers, except for one, Josh. He was standing next to Reina, his hand was over her shoulder and he was grinning down at Reina, instead of at the camera. I gripped harder at the phone and glared down at Josh. I just felt like I wanted to slap him, I wanted to march up to him, throw hid hands off of Reina and slap that grin off his face. I glanced at the picture's caption, which said, 'Me and my friends at MUN!' It was posted only a few minutes ago, they must still be at this MUN thing. I clicked on Reina's icon, to see some of her Instagram stories, there were a few and they were all from the MUN thing.

There was one story of another selfie of her and a couple of other girls, no Josh there. Another story was of her giving an overview of this entire MUN meeting auditorium, which was huge! As I started to feel more relieved, of not seeing any Josh pictures, the next story proved me wrong. It was a selfie of Reina and Josh, which Josh was taking, they were both laughing, for some reason. I felt my face heat up. 

I quickly went to my conversations with Reina and rapidly texted her the question I was scared to ask the other day, 'Are you going to the dance with Josh?'.  I wasn't scared any longer, just desperate. I needed to know, I just had to. After sending it, I waited, my heart beating louder than the previous heartbeat. Eventually, Reina finally responded.

Reina: Um

Me: Ya?

Reina: Ya

Me: You are going with Josh?

Reina: Ya

Me: Why?

Reina: What do you mean why?

Me: Because before you weren't sure

Reina: Josh kept on convincing me, I felt bad if I hadn't said yes

I sighed with relief. Oh, good, so basically Reina only agreed to go to the dance, because she wanted to. Only because she didn't want Josh to feel bad. 

Reina: But also because I think Josh is a nice person

My heart broke. What? I blinked many times and reread the text. Reina thinks Josh is nice, does that mean she likes Josh? Does that mean she would rather choose Josh over me? Rage spread through me, my ears started to burn with anger. 

I've been caring for Reina for so long, but she hasn't. She rather have Josh. There was no point for me to care so much about her, it was just a waste of my time and thought. 

Me: K, I'm going with Megan

I texted back tapping each key with all of my strength. I surge of satisfaction overcame me, after I sent. I was proud of myself for sending this to her. She deserved it after she made me waste my love towards her. But then, as each minute passed by with her not replying back, regret and guilt started to fill my heart. I had mixed feelings, anger towards Reina for making me feel useless, wasted, but also guilt and regret that I was a little mean to her, as I texted her that I was going with Megan. Well, the news was already out and I couldn't take it back,I was going to the dance with Megan.
