"So? Do you have it?" Alice said, bouncing on her feet.
"Ye-es." Her friend Ryan said.
"Well?"
"You won't want to hear this…"
"Tell me! Now!"
"Okay…."
Ryan pressed play and put the headphones over Alice's ears.
Over a lot of static, Alice could make out Ryan's voice, "You know Alice's is in love with you, right?"
She heard Zach's voice, "Yeah"
"You need to ask her out,"
"I might ask her out on the last day of school, just for kicks."
Alice's eyes filled with tears.
It would have been fine if he had just said no…
She ran into the girls' bathroom and cried. She was so angry at him, she couldn't even put it into words.
Last day of school…
Zach swaggered over to Alice at her locker, ready to do what he said he would do in the locker room back in September.
Alice slammed her locker shut.
Her makeup, her clothes were perfect.
"Hey, Alice… you wanna go out with me?"
Zach didn't even see her hand, she was that fast. He only knew a horrible pain in his cheek, and he didn't need a mirror to know Alice's hand was traced on his cheek.
"Go suck dick." She said, and turned without another word and walked away.
Zach stood, staring after her. His plan had backfired. He couldn't believe it… how had she known?
Ryan saw him and said, "You really shouldn't mess with that girl's head… she'll destroy yours."
And he walked away.
