Drew kissed me. At his house.
I smiled when I thought about the kiss.
It's was passionate and long. It was a kiss that said everything without even saying anything.
At first I froze in shock that my birthday wish was already granted.
Then I regained my senses and kissed back.
It was perfect.
Well, enough daydreaming time to get to school. I already showered so I headed straight to my closet. Then I picked out a blue hoodie and black jeans. After wearing that I wore my black vans and took a quick selfie. I posted it and liked a few other pics.
Last night when I got in bed I couldn't sleep.
Thinking of the taste of Drew. In my own mouth.
Holy cow I can still taste him.
I have to get to school so I can see him again.

It's lunch time and I'm starving. Who knew skipping breakfast had it's effects.
"Hey V. I want extra extra this time" I said winking at our lunch lady.
"There you go. Take it easy" She said chuckling
"Will do" I said saluting her. I pick up my lunch tray and turn around to head for my table. As I turn around I bump into someone.
"Omg I'm so sor- West?! " I almost shout before my brain alerts me
He smiles shyly "Liv" He said
I keep walking towards our table as the anger builds up inside me.
I sit down with a loud thump and West sits beside me. The nerve!
"Whoa there Chicà what's up? " Josh said
"Yeah dude... Why are you fuming?" Ken asked
"Liv are you okay? " Drew, Blair, South and Cece all chorused
"Have you been avoiding me? " I blurt out suddenly as I violently fork my salad
Everyone looks at West. Like they all know something I don't.
"Is there something you want to tell me? " I ask to no one in particular.
West still dosent answer. "Guys? " I ask
Drew and Josh whistle, Ken pretends to be choking, Blair pretends to take a call, Cece and South pretend they didn't even hear me. The hell?
"Seriously? " I say in frustration
West gulped "Look. Liv. I haven't been avoiding you. It's jus-" "Just what? Hunh? What is it you guys aren't telling me? Like seriously what the heck is going on that I don't know about!?!??" I yelled in frustration
They all went silent. "Fine then. Be that way! " I hiss then storm out of the cafeteria
"Liv wait!" I hear West and Drew say
"Why don't you let me take this one" Drew says
I sit outside on a bench. What are they hiding from me? More particularly what is West hiding from me? Why has he been avoiding me?
"Hey" Drew said quietly as he sat next to me.
I looked up and sighed. "I don't wanna talk right now " I said quietly. Because I know if I talk to Drew right now, all the anger will fade away. And I don't think I'm ready yet.
"Look. I don't know what's going on between both of you, and I don't know for sure why he's avoiding you" He said and I looked at him "What do you mean? "
He sighed " I mean I don't know exactly but I have a close guess. Now I don't know if he wants you to know, and I don't-"
"For the love of God spit it out! " I hiss
"Okay. He's dating Lexi. I think. I don't know for sure. But she's been posting pics of him and they've been-"
"WHAT? !!!" I yell
The bell goes off but that doesn't stop me from marching in there to give that jerk a piece of my mind.
"What. The. Hell. West! " I yell as everyone else scrambles to their classes "Uh-oh" Josh and Ken mutter and stylishly back away.
He looks mortified "Whatdoyoumean Liv...Idontknowwhatyourtalkingabaout...." He said. Yeah one thing. When West is really Nervous or scared or terrified he Speed talks. And right now, he looks mortified.
"I already know. I know why you've been avoiding me! " I yelled
"Why?? West why???!! " I say as tears of anger threaten to spill.
He stands up "Okay fine! You got me! I have been avoiding you. Because I knew you would act like this! I knew you would get mad! So what I'm dating Lexi!? You see this? This is why I didnt tell you" He yelled back
"Oh really? I'm not mad because your dating her. Though that's a 20 % reason. I'm mad because you didn't tell me! Because you avoided me, and kept your relationship a secret. I thought we were supposed to be best friends?!? " I replied
"We were. I don't even know the stupid reason why you hate her! But all I know is that she's actually a wonderful person contrary to what you think and she makes me happy! Isn't that what matters? You can't exactly blame me! No one knows why you hate each other! But that won't stop me okay? I will date her and there's nothing you can do about it!" He yelled finally then stormed out
What the hell!? I wipe the tears off my face.
I pick up my bag and head for the exit. "Wait! Don't go. If you do, you'll get in trouble for skipping class. Again " Drew said
He has a point. I guess I just have to suck it up and go to class.
It was only Drew, West and I in the cafeteria so Drew took me to class. We both had Geometry next.
»»*»»
In between class I asked for a bathroom slip and hurried to the bathroom.
I tend to pee a lot when I'm really upset. Which I obviously am.
Why couldn't he tell me? Why! And the others, they knew too. He could tell them but he couldn't tell me.
He has no right to get angry! I'm the betrayed one here!
"Well well well! I'll be damned! Is Olivia Sparks crying? " A puny high pitched voice said feigning concern.
Two high pitched voices laughed. Oh hell no.
"What do you want Lexi" I say through my teeth
"Is it wrong for me to care for my best friend? You seem to be using the bathroom a lot today. Someone or something upset you? " She said knowing me too well. I guess 10+ years of friendship counts for something.
I still didn't answer. "Oh oh, I know! Maybe because I stole her crush! Just like she stole mine" Her little Bimbo's laugh.
Yeah, wonderful my butt!
"I never liked West and I never will. And we both know he chose me. Not the other way round" I said then I brushed past her but before I could leave, Linda grabbed my arm.
"This is only a warning. West loves me and only me. You will die lonely while I date every single person you ever crush on. That clear? "
I looked down at Linda's hand on my arm and spat on it.
"Eww!" They all yell and then Lexi brings out a sanitizer. Ha!
"You know Lexi? You did cheer me up. Thanks! "
I walked out with a smile on my face.
The bell went off and I hurried to my class only to see Drew coming out with my stuff.
"Thanks" I said then pecked his cheek
"Well you certainly seem better "
"Yeah you could say that"
»»*»»
I head to my locker to get my stuff. I opened my locker then a red note card slipped out.
What's this?
"Dear Olivia
You don't know me, but I know you.
You don't hate me, but I hate you.
You don't love him, but I know I do.
BACK OFF OR THERE WILL BE NO YOU.
-Just your regular HaTeRgIRl"
