Chapter 8: I Can See Why We Hate Her

I decide not to tell Ella or Abby and just keep it to myself. When I turn around I see that Ella has left the room and Abby is on her phone. Abby must think I'm still half asleep and continues her conversation,"Yea I know I should have just stayed at home!"

"Kat listen it's a easier way for me to get close to Bryan."

"Yes I know that they are dating but Britt is a complete loser he won't stay with her for long."

"I'm gonna go to the common room right now."

"Okay bye."

Abby puts down her phone and glances at me, she glares when she sees that I've been eavesdropping.

"Were you listening to my conversation?"

"No."

"Oh okay then," she says relaxing,"I've gotta go."

"Bye."

Yea right like I'm going to let her get out of my sight. I wait until she is gone then sneak out after her I heard her say that she was going to the common room so I'll go there.

On the way down I think to myself. How did she even become popular she isn't nice to anyone. She's only nice to people for her personal gain.

When I get to the common room I see her and Bryan. They are talking quietly so I have to strain my ears to hear them.

"Yes I told her I was coming she was fine with it" Abby's high pitch voice whispers.

"Wait so she told you to come down here to have you tell me that she wants to break up with me?" Bryan asks unsure that she's telling the truth.

"Yes."

"Okay then."

"So Bryan now that your single maybe we can go out again?"

"Yea I guess."

Suddenly before I can do anything they kiss. It is a lot different from my kiss with Bryan I can tell just by looking. Mine was sweet and soft. Abby's on the other hand is rough and quite intense. Bryan pulls away and Abby's grins at him.

I am just standing there like a rock. Suddenly I am like a boulder rolling down a hill. I run into the room and grab Bryan pulling him away from Abby. Then I cry,"What just happened?"

"You broke up with me!"

"No I didn't!"

"Now, now you two," Abby says,"Britt you did tell me to break up you up with him."

"No I didn't!"

"I believe Britt."

"Really!" Abby and I ask at the same time. Me in relief. Abby in pure astonishment.

"Really."

I wrap my arms around Bryan,"Thank you!"

"No thank YOU." He says.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Abby asks angrily.

We both ignore her. Bryan gives me a soft peck on the lips and says,"Do you wanna go out on a date tomorrow night?"

I smile and reply in my best French accent,"Oui Monsieur
