On his way home, Ron thought about what Kim had said. A loser. He felt so betrayed. He trusted her, but she was just a fake the whole time. Maybe she felt sorry for him? How could he be so stupid to trust her? He drove up in the driveway and parked his scooter. He walked inside and saw his parents sitting in the living room watching TV. They both looked at him as he walked inside.
"Hello." Ron said in a low voice.
"Hello, how was your day with Kim at the pizza place?" Judith asked, while looking at Ron.
"Um, it's was great." Ron lied and gave them a thumbs up. He didn't want to tell his parents about what happened between him and Kim, because he didn't want them to talk to Kim about it.
"That's good." Harold said, and placed his arm around Judith's shoulder. "Son, your mother and I have been talking. We have decided that we allow you to go to Bueno Nacho again."
"That's great." Ron said, and tried to smile. He knew he should be happy that his parents allowed him to go to Bueno Nacho again, but he didn't feel like celebrating. He couldn't stop thinking about how Kim had used him as a friend, and betrayed him.
"Honey, aren't you happy?" Judith asked, and looked worried.
"What? Yeah, sure I'm happy." Ron sighed and walked over to the stairs, but turned around again and looked at his parents. "What's the catch?
"Nothing, we just want a place for you and Kim to go after school, instead of that childish pizza place." Judith told him, crossing her arms. "We think you're to old to be there."
"Well that's great." Ron said and walked up the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Harold asked.
"My room." He replied.
Ron walked over to his bed and lay down. He pulled his phone out from his pocket and saw he had three unanswered phone calls from Kim, and three text messages. He started to read them:
K: I didn't mean what I said. Please call me.
"Yeah, right." Ron thought, and rolled his eyes.
The second text:
K: "Please, answer me!"
And the third text:
K: Stop ignoring my calls. We need to talk. I didn't mean what I said, it just fell out of me.
"So it just fell out of your mouth? I don't believe it." Ron said to himself, and looked at Rufus who just had climbed out of his pocket. "Rufus? What do you think I should do?"
"Not talk to her." Rufus squeaked and shook his head.
"Yeah, maybe I shouldn't." Ron said, and looked at his phone. "Maybe I should call Jeff? He would know what to do."
Rufus smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
Ron dialed the number, and waited for an answer.
"Ron? Is that you?" Jeff answered on the other line.
"Hi, Jeff. It's me. How are you?" Ron asked, and smiled. It felt good to talk to his old friend again.
"I'm good. How are things in Middleton?" Jeff asked.
"It sucks." Ron answered. "They doesn't sell the Naco at Bueno Nacho, and my best friend was just fake the whole time."
"No Nacos? Man, that sucks." Jeff said. "Did you get a best friend already?"
"Yeah, when I lived here years ago I had a friend, and when I met her we started as friends again. But she's not that girl I thought she was." Ron told him.
"Woah, wait a second. You were friends with a girl? Is she hot?" Jeff asked.
"Yes, I was friends with a girl." Ron answered, and ignored his last question.
"So what happened?" Jeff asked.
"Well today, I heard her talking to her ex-boyfriend, and I heard she would never date me and called me a loser." Ron told him and sighed.
"And that's what the girls at Go High School said to you." Jeff told, and laughed a little.
"Thanks for telling me that, I didn't want to remember." Ron said, and rolling his eyes.
"Do you have a crush on her?" Jeff asked.
"W-what?" Ron asked nervously.
"You heard me." Jeff said.
"I don't know. Right now I'm just angry at her. It was stupid of me to trust the most popular girl at school." Ron said.
"Is she the most popular girl on school? Damn, she must be hot." Jeff said.
"Okay, you are not helping at all." Ron said irritated.
"Sorry. Okay, here's my solution. You can ignore her. Girls hate to be ignored, and when you have ignored her long enough, she stops talking to you." Jeff said.
"You think that works?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, it worked for me once." Jeff told him. "Or you can ask your parents to move back to Go City."
"Move back to Go City? I don't think that would work." Ron sighed. He actually liked that last idea, moving back to Go City. But he doesn't think his parents would agree.
"Think about it." Jeff said.
Ron was about to say something when he heard his dad yelled for him downstairs.
"RONALD, KIM'S HERE."
"Great, she's here now. What should I do?" Ron asked and hoped for a good answer. He didn't want to talk to Kim now.
"Just talk to her for a few minutes, and then you slam the door in her face." Jeff told him.
"If you say so." Ron sighed. "Bye."
"Bye. Call me later." Jeff said.
"I will." Ron said and hung up.
Ron walked out of his room and down the stairs and saw Kim standing in the living room. Kim tried to smile to him, but it just seemed like a fake smile from a fake friend.
"Can we talk outside?" Ron asked in a low voice, and looked over at his parents who stared at them.
"Sure." Kim said, and smiled to Ron's parents as they walked outside.
As they got outside, Ron closed the door, and crossed his arms looking angrily at Kim.
"Listen Ron, I'm really sorry for what I said. I was so angry at Josh, and the word loser just fell out of my mouth." Kim told him.
"Sorry, but I don't believe you." Ron said angrily. "I can't believe I trusted you as a friend! You are not the girl I thought you were."
"What? Ron, you can trust me." Kim said and walked closer to him and looked into his eyes, but he looked away.
"I don't want to listen you excuses bitch." Ron shouted, and when looked at her, he saw how shocked Kim got. He noticed the sadness in her eyes, and she even backed away from him. But Ron didn't care, he opened the door and slammed it in her face, quickly locking it. Both of his parents stoof in the hallway and looked worried.
"Ron? Is everything alright between you and Kim?" Judith asked.
"No, and I don't to talk to you about it right now." Ron said rudely before running up to his room and slamming the door. Right now he didn't care how he answered his parents. He didn't care about anything. He just wanted to move away from this place, and never come back.
