Thoroughbred - The Price of Arrogance
10 parts Ongoing MatureIt was a beautiful autumn day, the sun was shining and I was in a good mood. It was Friday, I was walking across campus and had an awesome weekend ahead of me.
Someone touched my shoulder as they ran up behind me. It was Jennifer Madison. Her dark blond hair was tied up in a ponytail and her green eyes were shining. Everyone thought she was very pretty. She was single. "Hi Brad, enjoy your weekend! I'll see you on Monday."
I nodded and smiled, "Yeah, thanks. You too." If I didn't already have a girlfriend, I could easily have her. She wanted me. I could tell. Who wouldn't? I'm the hottest on campus, I thought cockily.
A group of freshmen girls standing under a tree watched me as I passed by them. I flashed them a Brad Townsend smile, that would make any girl weak in the knees. They smiled back, waved and started whispering and giggling.
That's when I saw her. Lavinia. She was walking with great determination toward me. I smiled broadly. I couldn't believe she was here. Probably to surprise me. She looked amazing. She was wearing a light blue top and a white miniskirt. Her blond hair flowed like silk through the autumn breeze. I couldn't wait to spend the entire weekend with her.
"I'm breaking up with you. I've met someone else," she said. The way she said it sounded so off. Like someone standing up at a wedding, clinking their glass with the purpose of making an announcement. Was she even looking slightly bored?
