We are all sitting at a table near the windows of the cafeteria. "Hey, is it okay if I go use the bathroom?" John asks standing up.
"Restroom," Lindsay corrects him.
"What?" He asks.
"The correct term is restroom," She says back.
"Sure. I'll wait here," Jessie says. He leaves.
"Did you get his number?" I joke to Jessie.
"Actually, yes." She continues to read off the number. We laugh. Nikki hits my arm and points out the window.
"What?" I ask.
"Look," she whispers.
"What?" I say again looking out the window. I see what she is pointing at. John is in front of the vending machines kissing someone. Someone who is not Jessie.
"Oh..., Um... Hey, Jess? Nikki and I need to use the restroom too. We'll be right back."
"Oh, um, okay, I'll come with you," she replies.
"No! Um, you should stay here. Keep Lindsay some company."
We run out into the hallway and walk over to John. "Hey, um, John," I ask. "Who's this?" I refer to the girl.
"Oh, um, hey, uh, Nikki, and, and, um, Sarah. Uh, this, this is, is Abi, um, Abigail, she's, uh, she's in my fifth hour."
"Oh, okay. Hey, Abi!" I say. "Is it okay if I call you Abi? Yeah? Good. You should come sit at our table with us!"
"Yeah, It'd be totes' fun," Nikki says.
"Totes'," Abigail says looking at her phone. "But, um, I have to go. Bye John."
"Wait! Abi!" He yells after her. I turn back to John.
"Jessie is my sister," I yell at him. "She likes you. She has for five years. She has waited for this night for five years! You hang out with her for one hour. You say you need to go to the restroom. She waits for you. She just sits there while you go kiss another girl!"
"I..."
"Don't even think about defending yourself!" Nikki interrupts. "You have nothing to defend. You will spend the rest of the night with her. This will be the best day of her life. It will be perfect. Then, tomorrow, after she has had her fun, you will tell her what you did. You will tell her you're a jerk. You will tell her that she doesn't deserve you. Because she doesn't. She is my best friend. You will not hurt her. And I will not let you. Do you understand?"
"Yeah..."
"Let's go," I say dragging him by his arm.
We enter the cafeteria and sit back down. I let his arm go. "Hey," Jessie says to us.
"Hey," I say back. John tries to grab Jessie's hand. Nikki kicks his leg under the table.
"Ow!" He tells.
"What?" Jessie asks.
"Your friend kicked me!"
"What was that for?" Jessie asks.
"Trust me, you don't want to know," I reply.
"What's going on?" Lindsay mouths to me.
"B-f is cheating on g-f. B-f was caught k-i-s-s-ing another g," I whisper back to her.
"Ohhh. Okay." She kicks him under the table. "Hmph."
