All's Fair In High School Ch.5
Kay ran to the girl's bathroom. Tears were running uncontrollably down her face.
She couldn't believe it. How could this have happened to her? She had always thought that there was something strange about Miguel's behavior when she first met him. How was she supposed to know that he had a serious girlfriend whom he was cheating on- with her??
She couldn't believe that she had actually considered asking him to go to the Welcome Back dance on Friday. What was she, crazy?
Kay splashed some water on her face and checked her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were still puffy and red, but they had a sense of determination in them.
She walked out of the bathroom and looked around for Miguel.

Lesson 101:
When a guy blows you off, blow him off worse.
Then his world came crashing down as he saw Kay approach him. And the look on her face told him that she was not happy.
" Miguel. We have to talk.", Kay said in a raspy voice.
' Oh God. She's been crying.', Miguel thought, with a sinking feeling.
" Kay, can this wait until later?", he asked, nervously looking around at the crowd that had formed around them.
" You have a girlfriend. A serious girlfriend that you don't plan on breaking up with.", Kay said, silently begging that he would tell her it wasn't true.
" Yeah.", he whispered, not daring to look into her eyes.
" How could you lead me on, you bastard?", Kay asked, her eyes blazing.
Miguel remained silent.
" I never want to see you again. You and your pathetic little girlfriend deserve eachother.", Kay yelled.
With that, she turned and left, before anyone could see the tears streaming down her face.
" Mindy, will you go see what her deal is?", Charity asked, her eyes trained on Kay.
Mindy casually walked over to the group around Kay and listened to what she was saying. Her eyes widened. A second later her jaw dropped. She gave Charity a panicked look.
She ran back to Charity. She almost looked frightened to say what she had heard.
" Tell me!", Charity demanded. It couldn't be that bad, could it?
" Well, uh, apparently she hooked up with some guy that had a serious girlfriend. And the guy didn't tell her.", Mindy said quietly.
Alarm bells had started going off in Charity's mind. It couldn't possibly be her, could it?
" I'm sorry, Char. It was Miguel.", Mindy whispered, putting her hand supportingly on Charity's shoulder.
Charity immeadiately found Miguel. She had to talk to him. This stupid Kay couldn't be telling the truth, could she? Could Miguel really have cheated on her?
" Miguel. I have to talk to you.", she said quietly.
He didn't say a word, just took her hand and pulled her into an empty classroom.
" Char, I--", he began.
" Did you kiss her?", she asked, tears forming puddles in her eyes.
" Char, I--I", he stuttered.
" Did you kiss her, damn it!", she yelled, the tears finally streaming down her beautiful face.
Miguel started to freak out. He couldn't tell her. The last time she had gotten this upset...
" No, Charity. I didn't kiss her.", Miguel lied, looking down at the floor.
" Really?", Charity asked meekly.
" Yeah. She came onto me, and got pissed when I told her I had a girlfriend.", he explained, getting more confident.
And Charity decided to let it go. She wasn't going to let some cheerleader wanna-be get in the way of their relationship. She and Miguel were a perfect match. No one could ever change that.
