Hello there. Call me Summer! So the time has come for me to share my story, eh? Well let's get to it. As *shiver* may have told you, I was bullied as a little child. But that isn't what I want to share. It's after those hard times. The even harder times at my new school when I thought was on top of the world for once, and let my guard down.
It was a summer day, I was out of school for the rest of the summer, so I decided to make the most of it. I was bored out of my wits and decided to call my best friend, Tabitha, but of course she didn't pick up. Then I tried giving my boyfriend, Seth, a call. The phone rang and rang but he didn't pick up either. I tried to call a few of my other friends but I remembered Alex was at a camp, Trista was on vacation in Australia with her family and Dylan slept in all day when she got the chance and my, oh, my was she a heavy sleeper. I plopped down on my couch and sighed quite loudly.
The sun was blazing hot. My leather couch absorbed the heat. You may not know this but, warmth causes you to fall asleep quite quickly. That's why I always have a warm bath before bed because it is said to make you fall asleep faster! But this time I didn't need a bath because I fell asleep right on the couch in the blazing heat.
"Bring ring ring! Bring ring ring!" my phone screeched an I awoke with a start. I fell right off of the couch in a panic. It had never been my intention to fall asleep on the couch or even at all. I answered my phone with a lazy "hello?"
"Hey beautiful!" the voice on the other line had said. in the background I heard a faint "Hehe. Oh, Stop it! I'm not that beautiful!!"
I reply "Seth? Is that you?" with a smile. I had my suspicions with that other voice but settled with the idea that he was in a public place and a girl go the wrong idea. It was quite possible! Because, you see, I had the greatest boyfriend in the world! So sweet and caring, handsome and let's be honest, I didn't HATE the fact he was rich. Plus he didn't reply to the other voice.
"No, it's the Grim Reaper, I just wanted to say you have 5 days left," he joked in an evil voice. "Yes it's me, Seth! You know, you're awesome football playing boyfriend?" he adds. There's another thing about him. He was pretty funny!
"Oh, yeah, I forgot," I joked back.
"Anyways, I saw you called. So what's up?" He said.
" I was just bored and was wondering if you had anytime to hang out with your awesome cheerleader girlfriend?" I said slinging his joke back at him.
"Uhm, Uh, Well...I'm super duper busy... gotta go! Bye!" He said. And that's when I knew something was up, he always says ' love you! Buh-Bye! ' not ' gotta go! Bye! '
I pick up my phone and call Dylan, praying she is awake. Now that I am awake I seriously need something to do. Surprisingly she picks up the phone on the second ring.
"Yellow!?" She said happily. Dylan had a habit of doing that, saying yellow instead of hello.
"My, oh, my. You're awake at noon? in the summertime? that's a surprise!" I joked.
"Oh be quiet you! So what's up?"
"Nothing. Are you busy? I need something to do," I replied.
"I'm not too busy for my girl, Summer! Be here in 5?" She asked referring to 5 minutes.
"You got it!" I had replied getting up and getting ready. Her house is just a few blocks away so I can walk. When I get there I tell her about my suspicions and she raises an eyebrow and her bottom jaw drops.
"Oh...Oh...My god. Uh, Summer? I think he's cheating on you!" she yelled.
"What!? Why do you think that?" I replied frantically.
"Because I was on the phone with him a few minutes ago! I heard a girl in the background and asked who it was. HE TOLD ME IT WAS YOU AND YOU WERE JUST LEAVING!!" she said madly. My mouth drops.
"W-w-what!!!?" I had yelled. "I've been home! He told me he was busy!"
"Hmm... Let's go see him, shall we?" She asked. We both had that same evil look in our eyes.
We arrived not too long after we set out. Seth* lived a only few blocks away from Dylan. I rang the door bell with a shaky hand. It took a while but he finally opened the door. He had red lipstick smudged near the bottom of his neck
"Busy, hmm?" I had said before he could say anything.
"Who is it babe?" A girl said. And then I knew exactly who it was. Trista. She walks to the door wearing a short dress and bright...red...lipstick. My jaw drops open. Obviously me and Dylan had different instincts. Mine was to run her was to smack them both hard in the face.
"How could you both!? Trista! I thought you were in Australia!" Dylan yelled. She continued yelling things, nasty things, at Trista while Seth ran after me. I'm fast but he eventually caught up to me. He smirks.
"Don't you get it? You're so stupid! It was never you. I used you because I saw how you two got along right from the start," He says harshly. This time I turned around and punched him right in the nose. Hard. So hard he fell to the ground and tears swelled in his eyes.
"Football freak ain't so tough after all, huh?" I spat at him. Then I had an idea. "Don't you get it? it was never YOU. I used you to become the head cheerleader! Stupid boy...." I said in a mocking tone. even though it wasn't true. I had loved him. I walked to Dylan. I pulled her away and walked home. She went on and on about how I didn't deserve it. All I said was "It's okay. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Now I know who my real best friend is!" and I hugged her.
P.S Hehe. I bet you thought it was going to be Seth and Tabitha!
