|Story One| Does Perfect Exist?

I've spent the whole weekend watching watching Rachel McAdams movies and not texting Laurence. Well, he texted me that night I saw him basically about to undress Lily, but I told him I was on a retreat with my grandma. He took the bait, which doesn't surprise me.

Aaron kept checking up on me all weekend. I'd reply with "Yeah" "Sure" or "I totally didn't watch my boyfriend tongue his popular cheerleader ex girlfriend".

I don't understand what he'd cheat on me in the first place. But at the same time, I knew it was coming. Lily is the captain of the cheerleading team, she has the looks of a model, she's loaded since her mom snagged a rich guy three years ago, and let's not mention how he dated her for two years.

While I'm just a girl on the soccer team, I live with my mom only, I'm not the prettiest girl in school, but at least I'm more loyal than Lily will ever be. She only cares about cheerleading, hooking up, and manicures.

But now, I'm at school, in my uniform wearing a large black sweatshirt and a messy braid. 

Katelyn is at volleyball practice, Nana is with the Home EC teacher discussing her grade and Lucinda was at home because she was hungover from homecoming last night, so I was alone. I decided to sit in the bleachers outside since this was my free period, to reflect.

"Hey, babe." I hear Laurence sit down next to me. "You were totally MIA at lunch. Where were you?"

"I decided to eat in the library. I needed to study for Trig." I respond, not looking at him at all.

"I'm pretty good at it. You could've asked for my help." He tries to kiss me but I scoot over. "What's wrong with you?"

"I didn't brush my teeth this morning." Okay, that wasn't a lie. What? A girl can't be sad? "I don't want you to kiss me right now."

"Okay, you are one of the most organized people I have ever met and you not brushing your teeth doesn't sound like something you'd do. So what's wrong?" I couldn't do this. I just stand up and take all of my belongings with me.

"I have to go." Before I could walk away, Laurence grabs my hand.

"Babe, tell me what's wrong."

"Laurence-"

"Tell me!"

"I saw you making out with Lily in your car on Friday after the game!" I exclaim, flinging his hand off of me and running off of the bleachers. He follows me.

"Aph, I can explain."

"Don't call me that." I respond. "And what is there more to explain? You ask me to come to your game, and I do, but then you make out with some girl you knew I was insecure about? You knew that I was worried I wasn't as pretty as her or as funny as her or as popular as her and you still go to her?"

"She was there and we were talking and the next thing you know-"

"Save it for someone who cares." I back away. "We're so over. I don't ever want to talk to you again." He grabs my wrist.

"Babe, please-"

"Get off of me!" I try to get away from her, but his grip gets tighter and he pulls me closer to him. "You jackass! Get off of me you psycho!"

"She said get off of her!" Someone pushes him off of me. It was Aaron. Apparently skipping classes played out in my favor. Laurence starts laughing,

"Really? You must really like Aphmau if you're defending her like this. No wonder she went out with me." Aaron throws a punch at Laurence, hitting him square in the face. I gasp, dropping everything I had in my hand and I hold Aaron back.

"Stop it, it isn't worth it." He calms down as Laurence rubs his jaw and I pull Aaron away. "Let's go."

"She won't go back to you, Aaron! You know she still loves me!" Laurence yells as I drag Aaron away.

Aaron wanted to sit in his car to calm down, so I went with him. "I'm sorry for punching him. He shouldn't be touching you knowing that he hurt you."

"It's okay. I honestly want you to do it again." Aaron looks at me with a shocked face.

"Woah what happened to innocent little Aphmau?" She was cheated on, that's why happened. I only cock my eyebrow at him and smirk.

"That was before Laurence cheated on her. Now she hates his guts." I get an idea. "Let's go to the fair this weekend. Just me and you."

"What about Laurence?"

"You didn't seem so worried about it when you were against me on Friday when I was actually with him. What's the difference now? And you were the one who asked me."

"Are you sure you want to do this? I kinda feel guilty now that I punched him in the face." No he doesn't. I know Aaron; He's happy he got his hit in.

"Aaron, you acting like we're planning to have sex. It's just a night at the fair. Come on, I need some time out of the house. Please?" I give him the face he can't resist: The puppy eyes and the pout.

"No, Aph, you know I can't say not to that face." He covers his eyes and I start hitting him. "Fine, I'll take you to the fair. Just me and you."

"Good. Saturday, 3:00pm, pick me up. Don't be late."
