When she saw Brick sat alone on the field, Blossom didn't think twice before going to confront him. He wouldn't get the last laugh here, she would get her say.
"How could you?"
Right away, Brick knew what she was talking about. Earlier that day, he had heard whispers in the hallway and many comments about what had happened. Apparently the prank wasn't as secretive as he had hoped; Mitch and Mike had told most of their classmates. It was only a few kids without popular friends who didn't find out.
"Look, I'm just..." He paused, not knowing where to start. Blossom's eyebrows were raised and tears were forming in her eyes, and he knew not to lie anymore. "I'm not the same person I was, I'm not who you think I am."
She scoffed, and through her laughs you could hear quiet sobs escaping from her mouth. She felt humiliated and so childish for ever believing the lies. Brick never cared, he just wanted another girl to play with and poor little Blossom, the quiet girl with no friends, was such an easy target.
"So what, this was all a joke?" She questioned him. "You thought you could just trick me into liking you and being your friend, then break me again?"
Every word felt like a slap in the face, and Brick was hit with the reality of how cruel it was. Why did he ever think this would be funny? How did breaking someone's heart seem like a good idea?
It's ironic, really; in trying to mess with her heart, all he did was break his own.
"You were never a friend to me," she sighed, letting a few tears fall. "I really hope you're happy with yourself."
Brick wasn't happy, not without her. She let him be who he really was, he wasn't the popular kid who had to be followed around by everyone else, he was just Brick.
He needed to get her back.
"I know you, Bloss. I know that you're a rude, sarcastic, know it all, and you can't stand being wrong. I know that you get scared easily and run off, and when you feel uncomfortable or do something bad your dirt reaction is to blame someone else."
She looked down at her hands and muttered to herself, not knowing where he was going with this. Was he trying to make her feel worse?
"But I also know that sarcasm is just your defence mechanism, and you're one of the funniest people I've met. I know how you hate wearing makeup but still manage to look perfect everyday, and you might react badly to things at first but in the long run you always know how to fix a problem and make people happy."
He was standing now, talking loudly and a crowd started to form around the pair. News of the silly prank had spread and people were gathering to see why the most popular guy in school had suddenly changed and backed out.
"I'm so sorry I hurt you, and I swear to God I'll spend every day making this up to you if you just give me the chance. I know you." He sighed and looked around at his classmates, then back at the girl. "And I love you."
Blossom laughed, shaking her head again at his comment. Love her? All he ever did was get her into trouble and break her more than before. That wasn't love, and if it was then she never wanted to experience it.
"No you don't, you just want another puppet for you to mess around with. Well guess what? I'm done with you. You really are an evil person, Brick." She spat at the boy.
Pushing her way through the crowd, she left him sat alone again, trying to hold back tears in front of the crowd. Walking away for the last time, she only managed to mutter one thing under her breath.
"I can't believe I trusted you."
