The big fight. Monday morning.

It was a cold day. Winter was approaching, and luckily I was with a jacket. Otherwise, I'd die.
When I got in my class, Veronica came to me.
-Anne! How are you?
I was confused. We were never friends. She can totally stop talking to me now, since his brother in law and I are no longer talking.
-Hi, I'm fine...
-Hey, I wanted to tell you something. In the recess is fine?
-Yeah, sure.
She smiled and went to her seat, next to Alex, who wasn't looking at me at all.
-What did she want?-asked me Roxanne.
-To tell me something. Maybe is about Josh and his ex.
-No longer ex- corrected.
-I just don't know why he came back with her. I mean, he told me so many things...
-He is a jerk, and you know what? In two months, you had enough. So for you, no guys this year.
I laughed.
-I'm not jealous at all. But she is a dickhead. And he deserves so much better.
-Like you? - teased Roxie.
-Exactly- I said smiling.
I was so stupid to even think for a while that they wouldn't come back. It was a 2 years relationship. What was I thinking?
Not because I was never going to be back with Julian, means that other people can not come back with their exes.
But why would he come back with her?
She is so toxic. I am toxic too, but she is like, the creator of toxic. She invented the word. In fact, she is the whole meaning of toxic. When you are around her, you can see that her expression screams: DANGEROUS. BIOHAZARD.
She was so jealous, and didn't even let Josh hang out with his friends, that's why this year I could see him so close to some boys.
But whatever. If he loves her...
-Hey, how are things with Scott?
-Fine, I mean he is still thinking about the possibility of being parents, but I always put him down. I so don't want that. Not now.
-Yeah, I know. Julian never wrote me again. I bet it was just a wager.
-Honey, your first weekend without your mom and look what happened.
-Don't you want to see the first month?
-How is she, by the way?
-She is great, she started working today. She even sent me some pictures. Madrid is really a dream.
-I'm really glad for her. Are you planning to go there? You know... To live there.
-Visting, yes. But for living, I don't think so. Besides, I already have some kind of plans with Xavier.
-And then tell me she is not in love with him- interrupted Maia. Roxie just laughed and looked at me with that face.
-I'm sorry, I don't like him.
He is such a great friend, we would never break that.
Math class is always boring, but this time it was worse. Maybe because my anxiety popped up when I saw Alex staring at me, and quickly looking another side when he saw me, well, seeing him.
Something really weird happened.
And everything was weird, I mean, I saw them that Friday fighting, and then he just ignored her, he didn't open his mouth, nothing.
But for some reason, I'm glad. If they are meant to be, I'm no one to try and break that. At least they got each other, I don't have Julian anymore. He doesn't exist.

-Why don't you tell her how you feel?- asked Roxie.
-Because she thinks I'm an idiot. A jerk, a friend- said Jonathan, and then he stopped talking when he saw me.
-Who do you like so much? Hm? - I teased.
-No one. I'm going to get a sandwich.
-Uff, what is that mood?
-He is in love with Liz. You know.
-What the... Again? That girl, again? She is a pain in the ass.
-Not as Abigail.
-What with her?
-She's been chasing Jonathan all day today. I don't know what is wrong with her.
-Just a few words and she'll calm down. You know that.
What does Abigail wanted? Doesn't she understand that we can't be friends because we don't like her? And we even told her in so many ways and languages.
-Has Veronica already talked to you?
-No, but look. She is coming this way.
Veronica smiled at me, and I followed her a table on the cafeteria.
-So, what's up?
-There are just so many things Anne. A lot to explain, actually. And I need you to not interrupt me.
I nodded.
-Great, so... The thing is, he really liked you, Anne. He only said good things about you. He said you are smart, interesting, that you have a lot of things or topics to talk about. He really wanted to go out with you.
-Okay, Veronica, you are making me feel confused. Am I the bad one?
-No, no. But that is the first point I wanted to make clear. The second is that, she showed up at his house, and they got this big fight, I don't know how it started because Alex didn't really tell me. But I do know they were fighting that Friday near to where we were. And after that he hang out with you. But he felt guilty.
Now, that doesn't make any sense. We didn't even kiss.
-He felt guilty because he likes you, but he was still in love with her. As you can guess, they've been dating for years and...
-I know that. I don't feel sad and I don't know why are you telling me all this.
-Just so you know. Shut up. Okay, so, I went to their house because I had to lunch with Alex. I'm talking about this Saturday. So we were eating and bla bla bla, when suddenly, the ring sounded, and there she was. And I bet Josh told you this, but his mother hate her. Is not that she loves me but at least she doesn't want me dead. Anyways, Josh and his ex started to talk while suddenly, she slapped him really hard, that he nearly cried and his mom kicked her out of the house. It was a fuckin shit.
I couldn't believe any word. I was shocked.
-The reason why she slapped him is because she asked him about you. And he denied that you two were related in any other way than friends.
-Did Lydia told her that we were talking? Because there is no other way, she is her only friend!
-No, she is not the only one.
And I just shut up.
-She started to say that you were, well, a hoe, a slut.
I just laughed. Damn girl, she is crazy. I'm even more virgin than she is. The fuck up.
-She told him that he had the guts to have sex with you when he doesn't know who had been inside you before, things like that. She was really disrespectful.
-As I could care less about what she thinks about me or my sexual life. And I didn't have sex with him! Or no one, ever!
-I know! I really know that, but she was so blind by her jealousy. He, of course, defended you, which make things harder. When his mother kicked her out of the house, they started to fight. She was answering repeatedly why on Earth did he like her, and who the hell you were.
We both laughed.
-Until Alex came between them, saying that you were one of the nicest girl he ever met. He said you were really smart, nothing compared to that toxic, psychotic girl. And that you even helped Josh with his work. Is that true?
I was out of the blue.
-What job? What the hell was he talking about?
-Whatever. The thing is that his mother wanted to meet you, saying that why his son has to let go some really worthy girls, just to be with Ariadna. And he even warned him that if she ever gets pregnant, he'll be kicked out of the house as well.
-Oh my God. What a weekend has been, huh.
-That's not all. What's the rush? His mom just took way his cellphone, saying that until he can think clearly about that girl, he wouldn't have it. And the Saturday fight was all calm. But then, Sunday arrived, and unluckily I wasn't there anymore. Alex told me that Ariadna showed up in his house, again, and she begged for his pardon. He, of course, as the idiot himself, accepted. And his mom couldn't believe it. So she didn't give him his phone back, and now Ariadna has to go everytime she wants to see him, but just for an hour.
-Wait wait, so his mom accepted again? And where are the parents of that dickhead?
-They just don't exist in her life. And what else could that poor woman do? I know it's too much, but he wanted me to tell you all of this, just so you don't get mad at him.
-I'm so not mad at him. I'm mad about the fact that I know how he is being treated and he is okay with that. Is not fair.
-I know Anne, and even Alex is sorry for his decision. But what else is there to do? Nothing is fair in this life, to tell the truth.
We both chuckle and went back to the classroom.
