She just huffed and didn’t say anything else.
We chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.
I stood by the fifth floor window, staring blankly at the sky.
Suddenly, I found myself thinking back to the summer after high school graduation.
In high school, Sarah, Chloe and I were super close friends.
At a group dinner after the SATS, the most popular guy in school suddenly confessed to
- me.
Everyone was egging us on and making a big fuss. I was annoyed by all the commotion, so I turned him down point–blank.
What I didn’t know was that Chloe had liked him for a long time and had been secretly pursuing him.
Because of my rejection, the guy got upset and started dating Chloe instead out of spite/
People said she only got to be with him because of me.
Our relationship just kept getting worse after that.
I thought once we went off to college, I’d never have to see her again.
But to my surprise, even though we weren’t at the same school, she still went around spreading rumors about me and trying to make my life miserable.
–
She and that guy didn’t last long though – he ended up cheating on her.
I heard she’s going to be at the class reunion on Saturday too.
“Ugh, what a pain!” I groaned, messing up my hair in frustration.
But you know what?
C
It’s been so long, maybe she’s forgotten all about it.
Thinking that, I relaxed a bit.
For the next few days, I just stayed home with Ethan.
Other than dropping him off and picking him up from preschool each day, I worked on fashion designs.
