Chapter 11

I leaned toward my laptop and smiled brightly as Lena returned to the screen. This was our first time talking in a while, and I was happy to see her. It was so strange not having her around all of the time, and having to schedule time to video-chat each other because of the time difference. She was also busy a lot with homework, friends, and life in general.

“Where were we?” she asked, tucking her unruly hair behind her ear. She was wearing an oversized sweatshirt with my school’s name and logo on it. There was no doubt in my mind that it belonged to Carter.

I furrowed my eyebrows as I thought about what we were talking about before she went to the bathroom. When it came back to me, I said, “Blake and Violet. You were about to tell me something about them.”

She bounced her head hard as she nodded. Her eyes grew wide, and she slid closer to the camera. “Right. That’s it. Oh my gosh, you won’t believe what happened. I feel so bad for Violet.”

“What?”

“Guess,” she said, despite her previous statement that I wouldn’t believe what happened. If I wouldn’t believe it, then how could I guess it?

I shrugged, and sighed. “I don’t know. Just tell me.”

She shook her head no. “Guess,” she demanded.

I pouted. “Violet’s pregnant?”

Her laugh was loud, and instantaneous. “Yeah, right.”

I rolled my eyes. “Just tell me.”

“Okay,” she sighed, dragging the word out like I was forcing her to tell me. “Blake cheated on her again. That bastard.”

I raised both eyebrows in shock. “Really? What? How? When?”

Lena raised a hand to stop me. “He was sneaking behind her back to hang out with some girl from another school. She only found out because the girl tagged him in a picture of them on a date on Facebook.”

I shook my head. “That’s ridiculous. Poor Violet.”

“I know. She’ll move on, though. There’s this guy, Colton, who really likes her. She just doesn’t know it yet. She’s too busy trying to get over Blake.”

“Wow.”

“I know,” she mumbled. “Your turn now. Tell me something.” She propped her elbows up on her desk and rested her head on her hands, waiting.

I chewed my bottom lip to keep from smiling. “Well, Shane asked me to be his girlfriend a few days ago.” I still wasn’t over it. I had a little bubble of happiness in my belly.

Lena’s face lit up. “Really? That’s so great.”

“I’m so happy,” I replied, smiling so hard my cheeks burned. “I really like him.”

She nodded. “I know you do. He likes you too.”

“Yeah, I know he does.” I wanted to tell her about what happened at the party, but I bit my tongue.

Lena noticed instantly that I wasn’t saying something. “What’s wrong?”

I shook my head. “Nothing is wrong. It’s just, we were at a party on Halloween and this girl Shane used to hook up with came over and kissed him. He pushed her away, but it made me really angry.”

“I would’ve been pissed,” Lena said.
