"Bethany! Get over here and stop always being on your phone!" Melissa yells at me as I continue to scroll through Instagram.

"Leave me alone! Just let me be. I'm not in a very good mood today!" I yell back as the cold air starts to pick up and leaves my blonde hair in a mess.

I hear footsteps approach me and I glance up to find Melissa with a worried expression. "What's wrong?"

I sigh as I place my phone in the back pocket of my jeans. "It seems like Will has a new female companion now." I purse my lips in frustration.

"And?"

"And he's with one of the loneliest people in our grade, Ashley Zhao."

"Oh, her? Last time I talked to her, she was nice enough to give me some tips on how to study for a Spanish test. Ashley's not that bad," she says.

Her sympathy for Ashley gets me even more irritated. "But she's with Will. William Campbell. The hotshot that everyone's talking about? And he's apparently hanging out with some lonely person that even had the audacity to talk back to me. Me! Bethany Lisburn. Does she even know who I am?"

"I don't think so to be honest with you. She just came into this school about a couple of months ago and she barely even knows the layout of the school let alone know you as a person, no offense. Just let her be. Will is nice enough to be a companion of hers, so let him be her companion. What's the matter with that?"

I glare at Melissa. She doesn't flinch though. "The problem is that Will is still mine and nobody can take him away from me. Especially if he's with her," I explain as I use my finger to point at myself.

She scoffs. "Beth, I think you need a reality check. He's done with you. You made that obvious about a year ago when he figured out you were just using him for his money and you cheated on him at the same time. What makes you think that William Campbell will treat you the same again, hm?"

"Yes, and I said sorry to him when I had the chance but he blew me off like I was some paper airplane!" I exclaim.

"Sorry doesn't fix a broken heart, Beth. It never does. Not even time can after what you did to him. From what I saw, he really loved you but you just didn't give him back the same amount of love that he gave. Everyone saw that it was a one-sided relationship but we were too afraid to say anything. I bet Will knew it back then but he refused to accept the reality of it."

A lump starts to form in my throat. "But he's with that girl! He deserves so much better than that," I continue to argue.

"Maybe that's what he wants right now: a lonely girl who doesn't give him so much trouble and at the same time, maybe help him with his studies. Maybe that's more than what he deserves at this point."

I close my eyes in frustration. "You know what? It seems like you're taking Ashley's side of this argument and you don't seem like a true friend to me," I argue as I turn my back on her and walk down the sidewalk by myself. I cross my arms in front of my chest as I contemplate about Will. How does he not see that I am better than Ashley?

I have the looks and all. How does he not see this?! I need to get rid of Ashley from his sight so I can reach my goal. Will was always meant to be mine but I just messed up in the middle because I got bored of basketball shenanigans. He never gave enough attention to me when I needed it the most.

What was I supposed to do? Continue to stand there, pretending to be happy while I wasn't in reality? No. However, getting another guy didn't work either. Victor was almost too infatuated with me to the point where it got creepy and I didn't want that either. So I then decided that Will was still the one.

The scent of marinara sauce hits me and I look around to see what restaurant it could be. I finally lay my eyes on this one Italian restaurant and my stomach starts to rumble a little bit. But I can't have Italian food. Too many carbs or else I will get fat. As I shift my eyes over to the people sitting at the window, I notice a familiar dirty-blonde figure wearing a white Nike hoodie, and in front of him was none other than the person that I was and still am pissed at.

Both of them are smiling and it seems like Will possesses a huge grin on his face. I have never seen him so happy before. The last time that I did was when he won his second CIF title last year. What could Ashley be doing that's making him so happy?
