The hate game

Happy new year everybody 🎉🎉
                            ------

I wake up the next morning with a pounding headache. I drag myself from bed and move to the bathroom, brush my teeth and dress for school. I go downstairs, take a box of cereal and quickly eat a bowl of cereal, grab my keys from the table, pick up my bag and head to school

I meet up with my besties in the parking lot, I see them standing beside Caleb's car holding hands.

I approach them

"Hey guys" I say raising a brow at their joined hands which they quickly dropped like they didn't realise what they were doing

I give them an amused smile, I look around "Where's your car Soph???"

"It's at home"

I look at her in disbelief "Did you and Caleb come to school together???"

I look at Caleb "What's going on here guys? How did you even get to school safely?"

They look guilty about something

"Spill it guys"

"Uhm-"

Sophie is speechless that's a first. The warning bell rings

"That's the warning bell. By Lunch you guys better be ready to tell whatever is going on" I say before I sprint to my first class.

I barely concentrate in class, my mind keeps going back to Soph and Cay. I go over their relationship, they've always been each others throat since I've known them but they've been behaving a little bit weird since last summer. Then today they seemed closer than usual, which is not that weird, there have been times like that in the past but today feels a little different.

By lunchtime I was already seated at our table patiently waiting for them. They get to the table at last and I wait for them to start talking

"So?"

"So Ash remember that one time last summer when you cancelled out on us and we had to go out together" Caleb starts

"Yeah yeah I remember. The both of you gave me hell about it" I thought they were going to kill one another

"Well something happened between us and we kept it from cause we didn't know how you'd react to it" Soph continues

Uh-huh I feel like I already know where this is going

"Well we tried to keep it behind us, count it as nothing but it kept happening over and over" Caleb completes

How didn't I know about this, I frown, looking at the both of them

"I know you are wondering how you didn't know" Soph chimes in

Hell yes, how could they hide this from me?

"So why are you telling me this now?" I ask them both

Caleb continues "Well yesterday while you were occupied, we discussed things and decided that instead of hiding things, we decided to give it a try"

"Give what a try?" I ask sounding a little bit hysteric now

"We decided to date each other" Caleb answers me

I look at Soph, she smiles sheepishly "Ash please try to understand"

"How do you expect me to understand? You kept your relationship from me at first and suddenly you decide to just spring this on me?"

Caleb winces

"Congratulations guys but I think I need some space" I say standing up from the table and taking my food with me

I know I'm supposed to be happy for them but I can't find that happiness anywhere. I just can't muster it, maybe later when I've had time to process the fact that they've been lying to me for a while now.

This morning I thought they'd be able to cheer me up from yesterday's event but now I feel so sad and depressed and I still have to face that asshole today. Thankfully, I haven't seen him today. As soon as the thought leave my mind, the bastard walks past and I try to hide but of course I am not that lucky and he sees me.

"Hey, Chipmunk" he calls out "I haven't seen you anywhere today. Besides why are you alone where are your stupid friends? " he asks and I lash out

"Kindly do me a favour and leave me the fuck alone" I scream at him and everyone in the hallway turn to look at us, me especially. My face is red as a tomato and I just glare at Dylan

"Way to go Chipmunk, forgotten that we are supposed to be nice to one another" he says then saunter off.

I groan and slap my forehead, I absolutely forgot. This is going to be harder than I expected.

My stomach decides to groan really loud and people turn to look at me again. I turn around and stomp down the hallway almost crying cause I remember throwing my food away in anger some minutes ago, foolish anger.
