Anger Management- Euphoria

Twenty-six

I endured through the rest of the day. It was hard to keep my cool around Nate, he wasn't the only one with anger management issues. I didn't like being controlled, especially by men.

Jules opted to catch a ride with Kat, rather than ride her bike. I wasn't about to separate from my Lexus again so I sped home to collect my things. The plan was to meet back up at Kat's, where we would smoke and chill.

It has been so long since I had stayed the night somewhere. I hadn't hung out with Kat since McKay's party. Which felt like ages ago.

Like usual, my mother didn't spare me a glance as I swiftly made my way in and out of the house. I was eager to get out of my own head. I really needed a girl's night.

I could scarcely contain my excitement as I pulled into Kat's driveway. I had been here loads of times before, I didn't bother knocking. Kat's mom waved and greeted me from the living room couch. 

"The girls are upstairs." 

I had half the mind to take the stairs two at a time but I decided against it. Face-planting certainly wouldn't improve my mood. I was going to avoid everything that would negatively impact my vibe. 

Jules was sprawled out on Kat's bed, her face lit up by her bright phone screen. Her fingers were typing frantically. She didn't break her gaze to look at me when I closed the door behind me. 

Kat's black hair was pulled back by a strawberry printed headband. She twirled a makeup brush in her hand, blue pigment stained the hairs. "Don't mind Jules. She's in love." 

I snapped my eyes to Jules, who was now glaring at Kat. "I am not in love." 

Kat wriggled her perfect brows at our friend then she shrugged. "She's in love." 

Jules huffed, not willingly to fight about it anymore. 

I slid onto the bed next to Jules, nudging her shoulder with mine. "So...what's his name?" I urged.

Blush crept up instantly onto Jule's pale cheeks. "Tyler." Her voice pitched, obvious signs of a crush. 

Smiling, I turned my body to face her's. "Do I know him?"

"Nope. He is from St. Mary's." Her voice was assured, like she trusted everything this guy online said. 

Kat spun around in her chair. "Maybe Wes knows him! I can text and ask." 

Ah yes, Wes. The lucky man to take Kat's virginity, only to post the video online. Piece of shit. 

"I don't know Kat. You really shouldn't talk to him." I said, sitting up. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. 

Kat thought for a second, her face scrunched and relaxed. "Yeah...you're probably right." 

I wasn't going to dive deep into the issues of Kat's sex tape, it was too soon. I reversed back to the topic of Tyler. "What does he look like?" 

I noticed Jules hesitated for half a second before responding confidently. "I have no idea. I haven't seen his face." 

Tilting my head interest, I poked more. "What are you seen?"

She blushed again, obviously remembering what she had seen. "His dick." 

This was a bit strange to me. She was clearly under the impression that he wanted something serious but what guy will show a girl his dick but not his face. This reeked of shady. Was she clueless. 

I opened my mouth to speak but she stopped me. "Kat has already lectured me."

Kat scoffed defensively, "I wouldn't call it a lecture." 

"You sounded like a mother of seven." Jules retorted, laughing right after. 

"So you don't think its a little strange?" 

Shrugging, Jules waved it off. "Not really. He's just shy." 

I didn't exactly agree. It would have made sense if he also wasn't willing to send dick pics. I wasn't close with Jules but that didn't stop me from being bothered about the situation. Though, I couldn't offer too much advice since I had zero experience with meeting people online. 

It's just, something didn't feel right. "Wanna show me some of his messages? I want to see the cute shit." 

Jules agreed happily, under the impression that my suspicion was thrown off by her shit excuse. 

Her cheeks flamed red as she scrolled through their text conversations. These messages seemed so familiar, it brought a deep pit into my stomach and I didn't know why.
