"Do you think I should call Cylyss?" I ask Logan. He scratches the back of his neck, "I don't know man. Let's just wait by her locker, you can talk to her about the phone thing later." We walk down the hall to her locker and she's already there. "Hey baby," She turns to look at me. "Woah, you look upset," I grabbed her chin and make her look at me. She smacks my hand away, "It's nothing, it's whatever." Logan looks uncomfortable as he says, "I'll be at the front so we can go to Mario's." He daps me up and ruffles up Cy's hair before walking away.

"What do you mean it's whatever, babe talk to me." She slams her locker door, "Have you heard about the dance happening on Friday?" What? This girl is so bipolar. "Uhh, no, I have family plans anyway. But why are you trying to change the subject?" She rolls her eyes, "Has Angelina talked to you about it?" I place my hand on my head as I tried to keep my cool. What does Angelina have to do with this? "Again no and why does she matter?" She scoffs, "Why does she matter? She seems to have you wrapped around her finger. First, you don't defend me earlier and now your going around giving her nicknames. Angelina is a lot of things but she's not a liar."

She starts to walk away and I grab her arm. "Hold up, Angelina talks her shit all the time, when she was picking on you I didn't think she was worth it so I just shut her down. As for the nickname thing, I don't remember giving her one so," She looks me up and down before saying, "Whatever, this fight is stupid. Bye, have fun with your friends." I contemplate on whether or not I talk about the phone. "I didn't want to bring this up but since you want to be petty, what's going on with your phone?" Her face was unreadable, "What about my phone? I told you it was cut off," I reach into my back pocket and pull out my iPhone XS Max and start typing. "What are you doing?" She asks. Her phone dings and she reads her notification.

Me: So we lie now?

She looks up at me and puts her iPhone 6 back in her pocket. "Listen, I meant to tell you-," I cut her off, "I need to go meet Logan. I'll see you at practice?" I gave her a kiss on the cheek and forehead. I walk towards the double doors at the front of the school. Why would she lie to me? We tell each other everything, when did that change? I love her and she lies to me. Hopefully at practice she gives a reason that can make me forgive her.
