"So this is you were with the whole time?" Hunter yells at me and his face flushes red with anger. I just step in front of the one I really love and stare up at Hunter with my icy blue eyes. 

"Most definitely."

"It's...finally...over..." I finish my post and sigh as a feeling creeps over me. I felt...relieved...

I sag against my locker and sigh again, unsure of what would come next. My phone buzzes constantly from the people commenting and liking the post but I don't want to see what they are saying. I just want to move on and be the perfect bitch I am. 

The bell rings and that's the end of the day for me. 

I push myself up and then I see that France chick. She was walking with her gay friend and she looked sincerely happy. She should be. I mean, she's pretty, she has one best friend that's always there for her, and she pretty much has the best grades.

My phone chimes again but this time it's a rhythmatic sound. My heart flutters as I raise my phone up to my view.

Annice: I dnt c y ur mean 2 her...

Kylie: Ik but still...

Annice: Meet me after school @ Chckrs

Kylie: Kk.

Hunter glides up behind me, placing his hands atop my eyelids carefully, his voice breezes into my ear, "Guess who?" I take in a deep breath and paste on one of my frequent radiant smiles. "I don't know. The pizza man? Did you get my order wrong again, because I clearly told you all those other times, I'd rather have Hunter flavored pizza but I haven't gotten it yet."

Hunter chuckles and then when his hands move away from my eyes, he swirls in front of me and bows. "That is a very exclusive flavor, ma'am- I don't think my manager wants us to release that to the public yet."

"Well your public wants that pizza, sir. But it is quite okay for now."

His head cants to the side and he frowns mockingly. "And why is that?" I sigh and my plaster smile fell. "Have you been on Insta recently?" He reaches back to his back pocket as his eyes narrow into concentration. I quickly place my hand over his arm and shake my head. "No, don't. I, um, I want to do this through conversation."

"Do what, Kylie?" I close my eyes. Just say it, bitch! "I'm breaking up with you," I blurt out and I let out another breath of relief as his face crumples slowly. "Is this a prank or something?"

I could hear his voice crack around the smooth edges and I shake my head somberly, even though I'm pretty much celebrating inside. "No, Hunter, I'm sorry. I- I've found someone new."

"Who?" His head snaps up and his eyes are reddening and suddenly filled with anger and curiosity. Shit. "No one you should worry about-"

"So you don't want Hunter-flavored-pizza anymore?" The anger was quickly faded over with cloudy tears and sorrow. Oh, Hunter. You poor man-child. I shake my head again. "No, sir. It was nice doing business with you."

With that I brush past him and the dismissal bell rings. "Thank God!" I huff as I push my way past the swarm of my classmates and out the door to my BMW Series i8. "Kylie!"

I spin around and Annice is screeching my name as she bulldozes towards me with her arms stretched out for a hug. Before I could even spread my arms, she crashes into me and sends me stumbling back. "Shit, girl!" She giggles and I hug her tightly as she steadies herself. "I know I said I'd meet you at Checker's but I needed to see you really bad!"

"Why?" I smile as I look down at her beaming face. "Just because!" I chuckle as I hug her again. "That's cute. Now, let's go get some Checker's, yeah?" We hop into my car and head out to our beloved restaurant. Everybody goes to Checker's. It's like, Chucky Cheese, but for teenagers. We go there for the latest gossip, mini-concerts, food -of course- and games and laughter. Some people just go there for a place to shoot their Youtube videos and meet-and-greets. It's a really busy place so it was a wonder me and Annice found a nice table cuddled in the back of the restaurant.

As we sift through the menus for something different than our usual choice, the door chimes, meaning someone had walked in. I look up on instinct and drew in a hissing breath.

"Shit, why is he here?" Annice then looks up and then her big brown eyes snap to my startled face. "Did you break it off?" I nod, "Of course I did." She seems to relax, sliding down comfortably in her seat. "Well, nothing to worry about, hon."

I sigh as I watch him and his group sweep through the lobby to find a decent table. They sink into a table adjacent to ours about a few feet away and my heart picks up again. "He's sitting so close..." I whisper underneath my breath and Annice answers without moving eyes from her menu, "Chill, Ky, he can't do anything to you in a crowded restaurant." She does have a point. I try to relax as the waiter takes my shaky menu choice and drink and when the waitor disappears into the busty kitchen, Annice takes my hands into her warm ones.

"Hey, it's okay. I won't let him hurt you." I look up into her deep brown eyes and I knew I had made the right choice. "I love you." The words just slipped out like a slippery thin soap and her eyes lit up with happiness. "O-m-g, I love you, too!" A smile breaks across my face and then, without thinking, I pull her forward on the tablecloth by her shirt collar and kiss her deeply, showing her how much love I could feel for her.

"So this is who you were with the whole time?" Hunter yells at me and his face flushes red with anger. Me and Annice breaks apart and we both jump up from our seats as if we were ganging up on him even though we were really instinctively hiding what we were doing. I take a deep breath, taking Annice's advice. I just step in front of the one I really love and stare up at Hunter with my icy blue eyes.

"Most definitely."
