“Just tell us what
happened,” Mattie said.
“We got into a
fight,” I said.
“Why…?”
“Because she was
being a b.itch and she has been for a while. I couldn’t take
it anymore! She’s so obsessed with Cody and she’s been
an awful friend to me ever since they started dating and I’m
tired of it!”
“Dude, just find
another best friend,” Duke said.
“It’s not
that easy! I’ve been best friends with her since fourth grade
and I know everything about her and she’s knows everything
about me and-”
“Then does she know
about you and Cody?” Duke asked.
“What?” I
asked harshly, darting my eyes straight at Jace then back to
Duke.
“If she knows
everything about you then does she know-”
“Why would you
think there’s something going on between me and
Cody?”
“Well my phone died
about two hours ago and I wanted to show the guys this new song by
this band I found so Cody said I could use his phone and when I
played the song he said that band did a show at his older
brother’s college and he had pictures on his phone from the
concert. So I went through his pictures to find it and
I…kind of…found this picture of you…”
Mattie looked down.
“So then how does
Duke know?” I asked angrily.
“Because he was
sitting next to me when I found it. We didn’t say anything in
front of the other guys and they still don’t know but Carter
saw this hot girl and Graham went with him to talk to her. Jace
went to the bathroom and so we asked Cody about it and he said you
sent it to him a while ago and when we asked why, he said he
didn’t know, you just sent it to him. And then we asked if
Kelli knew and he said of course not, and that he doesn’t
want her to know. Then we asked why he still had it and he just
said regardless of whether or not he has a girlfriend, you’re
still bangin’ and that’s when Jace came back out and
he’s like ‘bro, you told them what’s going on
with you and Brooke?’ and then that’s when he finally
told us,” Duke said.
“What exactly did he
say?” I asked.
“That you guys have
been hooking up for a while now and explained if he loses Kel he
loses you and like, we understand that, but why do you have to get
with him? You can get with anyone, Brooke,” Mattie said.
“Because I really love
him,” I started to cry.
"I ain't jealous of you, just thought you
should know you were never good enough for him or anything like me,
so you might as well sit back 'cause I ain't trying to show
maturity," -Permanent Marker, Taylor Swift
