Great. What about visiting me in LA? If things get weird we’ll just go on a road trip? Maybe up the coast like we used to?
Me
Not sure if I’m ready, but I’d like to give it a try.
Big Bro
Whatever you need. I’m here. We could always start really small. Like you come to LA, stay a night, then we leave on our trip.
Me
That could work.
I think I coulddo a night.
Big Bro
Um, those guys…
Me
Spring break fun. They’re great.
Big Bro
Okay. Just be safe.
Me
I am.
Big Bro
More worried about your heart. Love you.
Me
Love you, too.
I was worried about my heart, too.
The lab group chat had exploded, and I went to check in, wondering if this was about Raven’s #amithevillain post.
I couldn’t help but feel a bit of delight as my lab group reported all the gossip on my former friends. Drea hadn’t paid attention to her passport expiration date and was detained at the airport.
She and Logan also had found out that they no longer had return flights. Several unknown numbers had called me. I looked at the transcript of their messages. It was all Logan’s mom yelling at me for‘how dare I cancel his plane ticket that he never paid for’.
My phone rang again and I answered it.
“Why shouldn’t I cancel a plane ticket I was never paid back for? Especially since it was a ticket for someone who stole my trip and cheated on me?” I spat into the phone.
“Is this Kai? What do you mean,Cheated on you?” a male voice asked.
“Yes, this is Kai. I canceled Logan’s return plane ticket because I paid for it and he never paid me back, which he was supposed to. He canceledmyplane ticket without my permission, and used the refund to buy his sidepiece one, and then uninvited me from the trip I planned. I canceled her return ticket, too, because that was my money. I also canceled the hotel, because I paid for that. Call it vindictive, but he doesn’t get to spend my money on other people, especially since his mom seems to think I’m using him for his money, which I’m not. I’m also not paying for a trip that my boyfriend and friends excluded me from,” I replied.
“Sidepiece? Who is he cheating on you with?”
