Okay, that hurt. Watching your girlfriend cheat on you is a bad thing; but watching it with your class mates is worse. I never loved her but that doesn’t mean it won’t hurt. We have been together for almost two years and I was convinced she loves me which made it even more difficult to decide on breaking up with her. I should’ve listened to my friends who kept advising me over and over again to leave her, but I was so stupid and ignored them.

 I can’t help but remember those days I was with her feeling guilty for not being able to love her back and using her to get over Anna. Did she ever feel the guilt, when she’s cheating on me? By the looks of it I know they’ve been doing it since a long time.

I was sitting on the school terrace thinking about all the things that wouldn’t have happened if I wasn’t in a relationship with her. I would’ve avoided Gabe and Elle’s love lectures most importantly and probably would be in a real relationship with Anna and yes, I would’ve missed the embarrassment I faced a while ago in front of the whole gym class and I definitely wouldn’t be the entertainment of the school gossip for the next couple of days.

But the most important of all of them would be my relationship status with Anna; I can’t ignore my feelings anymore. Now when I know she feels the same way about me; the sparkle in her eyes, her shivers at my touch, the fear of losing me, the hurt look on her face seeing me with Cheryl- everything makes it clear once and for all.

And this drama has to happen just when I decided to break up and start a new relationship with her. Another reason to hate Cheryl now.

“Jason!!” I heard that one voice I want to avoid at any costs snap me out of my reverie.

I turned around and gave my best ‘I-want-to-kill-you’ look which made her flinch and lower her head.

“I can explain. It wasn’t---” she started softly.

“Oh, really? Is that why you left the class once you saw yourself on the screen?” I spat angrily.

“I am sorry Jason. It was just a one time, trust me” She said looking close to tears but I am not that ignorant any more to believe her.

“Oh, but you seemed pretty cozy” I said bitterly giving a wicked smile.

“I am sorry Jason. I didn’t mean any of that to happen. I was just upset with you for being distant to me and he came along. That’s it, I don’t even like him” She said in a begging tone.

“I don’t care anymore. Just stay out of my way”

“Please Jason, just give me one chance; I will prove myself” she pleaded.

“I am sorry, I can’t. Just leave me” I stated softly.

“No. I can’t. I’m in love with you” she yelled.

“Oh, is that why you cheated on me? That’s a great way to show your love dear, I am amazed”

“Please Jason. Just forgive me this one time, please”

“As I already said, I can’t. I was planning to breakup with you anyway”

“Is it because of that bitch Anna?” she spat bitterly. How dare she bring Anna into this when she was the one cheating on me.

“Don’t you dare call her that. Perhaps you should learn the definition of bitch or maybe you could just see a mirror” I glowered.

If looks could kill, I would’ve died already. How dare she give deathly glares to me after doing all of this.

“Leave” I ordered.

“No, I won’t. Not until you take me back”

“You do things behind my back and still have the nerve to order me” I fumed

          

“It was just a mistake. People do mistakes, don’t we?” she said without the slightest amount of guilt.

“I know what I saw wasn’t the only time. So, don’t bother giving me innocent explanations”

“I bet you did the same thing as me, with her” She snarled.

“I never did anything but I am definitely planning to; now that I got rid of you”

“You can’t get rid of me that easily Jason, I love you”

“Shut up” I hollered.

She remained calm as I shouted “Since when is this happening?”

She winced at my tone but didn’t reply.

“Since when you’ve been doing this and don’t you dare lie to me” I shouted at her not caring that we’re in the school.

She flinched with fear but replied “S—Su—Summer”

Oh My God! She is cheating on me since that long?

“You said you loved me, yet you cheated on me. Why?” I spat bitterly.

“I-In the beginning I wanted to make you jealous, so I-I started flirting with him but you never cared. You never cared to ask where I went or why I am not coming with you. S-so I kind of got frustrated and started doing him. The past few days you have been distant to me and so I went back to him want---”

“Ok, shut up now” I snapped. What a lame excuse?  

She wanted to gain my attention and so cheated on me? How stupid.

“Can I ask you something? Tell me the truth if you really loved me.”

“W-what?” she asked doubtfully.

“On our first day of school when I didn’t come to your house, have you slept with Blake?”

She looked flabbergasted and speechless at my direct question and the shock on her face gave me the answer. So, she did sleep with him when she realized I won’t be coming to her house.

Remembering the day I asked Blaise to put transmitter on Blake I quickly asked “And that day when you asked if Anna was my close friend, did you have a quickie with him in the school?”

Again I was greeted with silence. God, she is such a slut.

“Wow”

“I can’t believe you did all of this; yet you expect me to stay by you. Shame on you Cheryl” I spat at her with pure hatred dripping each word.

“That bitch told you this, didn’t she? I am going to kill her” She replied grudgingly.

“I’ve never met a thick headed person as you. Why would she tell me anything about you?”

“Just like how she set up the video in the class”

“No, she didn’t” I retorted.

“Go ask her; after all she was the one who planned everything with Blaise. Beth heard Anna and Blaise talk in the gym class about it”

No, it can’t be. She can never do that, especially not to me. I know that.

“And for your information, I am going to get back to her for doing this to me” She said with venom dripping each word of hers and left the place leaving me alone.

I was pulled out of my thoughts again from the ringing of my mobile, from Gabe.

“I need time for myself” I said before he even said ‘Hello’
