Ben, the asshole

　　It takes me five days to reply Let. While we are waiting for Miss Jota to show up, I find a comfy space at the back and start drafting my reply. It’s short. I don’t have much to say to him but I try to be supportive.

　　Me How did it feel? Was it good? Did sparks fly everywhere? Did it feel like the movies? Is she your girlfriend now? Will you two get married and have kids? Lol. Tell me, tell me everything, I want to know.

　　The ache in my heart grows as I fold the note and tuck it in my bag. I’ll drop it off tomorrow. What was I thinking? A hot stranger will fall for me? The only reason he still talks to me is out of boredom. He said it himself, girls are easy for him to get. I hug myself, trying to hide in the shadow as Ben’s head turns in my direction.

　　Maybe it’s all in my head but he has been avoiding me. Sure, we have a few classes together but he sat beside Abigail today. I am not bothered. Na. I can never be. I am over him. I am over Let. I am over boys.
