"What are you getting hoe?"

"Banana shake and a cheesburger."

"Emo."

"Fatass," I retort.

Tim and I take a seat with our food and I check my phone.

No texts. Why was I expecting a text anyways? I told him I needed space. Why am I doing this to myself? I get close to him and then I push him away. No wonder he doesn't want to tell me who he is. I'm just a fuck-up.

"Oh look, Harry and his side bitch." I turn my head to the left and I see Harry and Megan sitting down.

"We need a new hang out place," I huff. Every time.

"Why? I heard they have amazing sex."

"I doubt she can even feel it," I snort. Tim starts laughing really loud and I notice Harry jerked his head in our direction. He immediately turned around and shifted his body.

"I don't know if you are insulting him, her, or both of them."

"Yes." Tim continues laughing and I can feel Megan giving us the stink eye from her seat. It entertains me so much when she's annoyed. Mostly because then she takes her anger out on Harry. And then Harry gets annoyed.

"I was surprised to see them together, everyone says they broke up." Tim shrugs. "Okay, Jasmine says that."

"I don't care."

Of course she's here. It's Friday night. She always eats Sonic on Friday. I totally forgot when I made those plans with Megan. This isn't helping my moving on. I wonder what her and Tim are laughing about.

Probably me.

"Babe, I'm glad you asked to hang out." She scoots closer. "I missed you tons."

"Yeah?" I rub her knee. "I missed you too."

"I just wish those two losers over there would stop being annoying."

"They're just nerds, ignore em' babe," I kiss her briefly.

Megan sits there for ten minutes going on and on about random shit. She talks about how school is too much work and how she's ready to graduate. She talked briefly about prom and grad bash. I mostly just ignored her as she talked. Especially when she started shit-talking people and fishing for compliments. I mostly just mumbled the ocassional "mhm" and "yeah" as she talked. If I don't, she gets mad at me for not "listening" and "appreciating her".

Mostly I'm just wondering what Maggie is talking about. Is she talking about school? Does Tim know about what happened? I wonder if Tim told her it was me.

No, because she would've said something. God, I just wish Megan would -

"Shut up."

"Excuse me?" Oops. I said that outloud.

"Sorry, not you." Megan shifts in her seat and huffs.

"Okay, as I was saying about my prom dress..." Shut up. Please.
