Billie!

I insulted myself. Her voice was so bright.

What's wrong? I couldn't bring myself to

smile, pretend I hadn't seen her standing

there, talking on the phone to some girl,

probably.

“I saw you. Talking on the phone. I'm so

sorry.”

For what?

“Feeling jealous. Thinking you might be

cheating.”

I... It was my ex. She...wants me back. I

said no. I don't love her anymore.

I hate myself, I thought. Neither one of

us said anything and it felt so awkward,

until Charlotte spoke. Come on, let's go

eat. She grabbed my hand and pulled me

to the cafeteria.
