"That good for nothing scalawag," Gemma angrily paced back and forth my room. She zoomed in my room the next day when i called her crying on the phone, barely able to make a single word out. "And you kept it a secret from me. Your bestfriend for thirteen years," she said angrily.
"I'm s-sorry," I croaked.
She crossed her arm and stood infront of me, "I knew there was something going on between the two of you."
i fiddled my thumbs, "I just didnt think that he would just leave me hanging."
Gemma's face soften. She sat next to me then held me tight. "Do you want answers?"
"Yes," i said in between tears.
"Then were getting that answer," she said, determined.
I looked at her, "Im really sorry gem."
She smiled at me and gave me a little push, "Forgiven. But never do it again."
I nodded.
Days passed and i felt Kurt deliberately avoided me. If we happen to accidently bumped into each other, he would ignore me, look pass through me and walk off. Gemma would glare at him and curse under her breath as she would protectly take me away.
As the semester ends, rumours about Kurt's new girlfriend spreads throughout the campus. i could feel my breath tightens as a group of girls speaks loudly behind me.
"So how long has been Dinah and Kurt dating?" a pettite blond, Amber Charles, ask.
Liza Jones said disgustedly, "I dont know. maybe for a couple of days now. i didn't know Kurt would go for those type of girls." Dinah Angelson was known to be a party girl with a very bad reputation.
"Oh who knows what type of girls he digs," Shine Reps reacted. "I mean just the beginning of this semester he was openly lip-locking with a certain meek one. What was her name?" she did a snapping of her fingers. "Heline."
i froze and Gemma gave me a look that says 'Calm down.'
"That one was a pretty face with a bright head over her shoulders," Liza commented.
"A pretty face and bright head wont keep the man, Love," Shine snarled. "Dinah must be a bitch but i heard she's great in bed. That Heline wouldn't even know how to dip the wick."
I flushed bright red as the girls laughed hysterically. Gemma clenched her fist and was about to stand up. I stopped her and gestured that we just go.
She stubbornly followed me, "We should have given them a piece of our mind."
i sigh, "Just let it go. I mean they are right."
Gemma stopped her track, "Right, what now?"
i faced her, defeated. "maybe he thinks I'm boring. i mean we never did some bushwacking. that why he dumped me and move on to the next willing girl."
Gemma gave me a quick tight squeeze. "We never knew that for sure." Gemma looked past me and i turned. Kurt was standing with his friends, eyeing us. I looked away, hurt, and continued walking past him.
With my new found heartbreak, Gemma keeps me company until i leave from school and bring me home. Her car was way realible than mine which was still rotting at the shop. I never have the nerve to have it fix since being stranded in the middle of the road. Gemma's phone beeped and her lips curled into a mischievous smile. "You are getting that answer."
"What?" i asked, confused.
"You wanted to know if Kurt dumped you for Dinah, right?"
"I wasn't dumped for Dinah," I exclaimed.
Gemma rolled her eyes, "But you want to know if they are together."
I nodded. I really do wanna know.
"Then we'll going here," she handed me her phone.
The message is from Bruce Grams and it reads 'Hey G! Wanna swing by Ferdous' later?"
"Bruce Grams?" i asked and raised an eyebrow.
Gemma cleared her throat. "Well, he and i kinda go out."
"Big and loud Bruce Grams?" i asked in disbelief.
She shrugged. "He's really a nice guy if you get to know him."
"You like him," i teased.
She blushed and laughed. "Look. Bruce and Kurt are in the same squad. We can go there together. you can look for Kurt and get him to answer your questions."
"I cant just barge in and ask him outright," i said.
"You're with us. And Bruce will be bringing us to him. It wouldn't be barging in."
"Does he know?"
Gemma chuckled. "As far as i know. He doesn't know."
I sighed. "He never mentioned me to his friends."
"You can ask him that too."
"When is this?"
"Tonight. I will meet you at the parking lot at 8pm."
I nodded.
