Victor was the new highlight of my day. As much as I was jealous of Amy before, I was over it. Even in bed I was twisting and turning thinking about him and how it would be like if we were a couple.
I wasn't the only girl to be "woo-ed" by him. Girls' heads turned every time he walked past but whenever I was around, I was his only focus. I loved that.
Wendy and Nicole was still distant but they were now joined by Anthony. We barely talked now and it bothered me.
I knocked on his door at around four hoping his father wasn't at home or at least sober. The door flew open and I was greeted by Channel 12 News anchor, Sonia Gallagher-West.
My mouth opened and closed trying to form words. She smiled down at me as if I was a five year old child.
"Hi. How may I help?"
"Uh. Uh. I'm here to see Anthony"
"And you are...?"
"I'm Sophie"
"Ohhh you're Sophie. Come on in"
I flashed a smile at her hoping the reason she knows me is a good one.
I started to walk to Anthony's room before remembering I was here twice when I wasn't supposed to.
"Um Mrs. West? Where's his room?"
"Oh I thought you were here before".
My face grew hot and realized that Anthony must have confided in her about the times I been here.
"I forgot" I said politely.
"Well down the hall next to the bathroom."
"Thank you".
I walked to his room and knocked on the door. He opened it with a smile then his face slowly fell when he saw me.
"Yes?" He asked
" I was wondering if we could talk"
"About?"
"Us. I never see you. Where have you been?" I half laughed because no matter what I was saying his face stayed straight.
"Why do you need to see me? You got what you wanted. Just a target right? Want to get a shotgun and shoot at me?".
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb. I'm just a popular target. You used me. Us. All of us. Just admit it".
I felt my heart plummeted to stomach and I lost my voice right away.
"Anthony..." I croaked
"First you use me and now I'm losing my girl to this Victor kid..."
"Your girl? You have a girlfriend?"
His face grew red and looked sheepish before going straight face again.
"Just admit it."
I mumbled under my breath hoping he wouldn't hear me.
"What?" He yelled at me.
"I used you. I'm sorry." I looked down, full of shame.
He looked stone cold before replying and closing his room door in my face. "That's what I thought" .
