"She's just amazing," your best friend gushed about some girl he'd recently started seeing.

"Do you even know her name?" you rolled your eyes.

"We've been on like, three dates! Of course I know her name! It's Julianna!"

"I'm just making sure, Mikey," you shook your head, "You tend to fall in love with girls without knowing anything about them."

"That's not true," he scoffed.

"The pizza delivery girl two weekends ago, the girl across the cafeteria, the girl with her mother at the mall, the gi-"

"Okay, so I fall for a pretty face more often than the next person," he rolled his own eyes that time, "But I'm serious about Julianna; I think she could be the one."

"I believe you, Mikey," you told him, nodding your head as you took your backpack off of its hook and flung it onto your back. You and Michael started walking out to the back of the school where your bike was parked.

"Oh, before I forget," Michael suddenly said as you were unlocking the chain, "I won't be able to make it to your open mic night next month."

"What?" you frowned, "Why not?"

"Mum and Dad want to take a trip during break or something," he shrugged.

"Oh, do they not trust you at home by yourself?" you pouted teasingly, making him laugh as she shoved your arm.

"I'm not that bad at taking care of myself!" he defended. You simply shrugged in response, putting your chain into your bag and pulling your bike out of its parking spot. "I'm sure you'll do great though," he chirped, "You'll have to tell me how it went."

"Mhmm," you hummed.

"Hey, before you go, are you free this weekend?" Michael wondered.

"Don't know yet," you answered, "Why?"

"I want you to meet Julianna!" he smiled, "I think you two will get on really well!"

"Sure, Mikey," you murmured, "I'll let you know in the morning."

"Sweet," he beamed, "See you later!"

You watched Michael trot into the parking lot and toward his car while you just stood there. You finally knocked yourself out of your daydream, letting out a shaky breath and climbing onto your bike to go home.

One month later

As promised, you'd met Michael's new girlfriend – well, she wasn't technically his girlfriend as they had yet to make it official even after being on at least 10 dates already – last month and to say it was hard on you was an understatement. The two were incredibly clingy with each other and – while that didn't surprise you at all – you couldn't help but feel like a third wheel. They weren't ignoring you or anything – in fact, Julianna really seemed to enjoy talking to you – you just felt incredibly awkward.

Michael asked you what you thought of her as he walked you back outside when you had to head home. You told him the truth: that you thought she was a nice girl and you were happy he'd finally found someone he fit with so well – you weren't going to lie and say you didn't like her just because you were jealous.
