Annette walked into her room and threw her keys on her dresser. She
plopped down onto the bed. She was exhausted. It had been a long day.
First the movie with Kerrie, then the run-in with Brad. It was a good
thing Kerrie had decided to head home before that. She wouldn't have been
able to emotionally handle it. She would have burst out in tears right
there in the store.
It had been very odd, running into him. She had run into an Eckerd to get some tampons. It was kind of embarrassing. She was searching for the right kind of tampon when she heard someone call her name. She looked up and sure enough it was Brett.
"Hi," he said kind of awkwardly.
"Uh.hi," she said embarrassed at being caught in that kind of situation.
They stared at each other for a few moments. "So how is she? Is she as upset as last time?" Brett asked.
"She's taking it well," Annette answered. "Definitely better than last time." They laughed. The last time Kerrie had gone a bit mad. She tore apart his apartment and left threatening notes all over the place. Needless to say, she has improved.
"That's good," he said. She smiled. He really was cute. He had a gorgeous smile and his eyes were just dazzling. What the hell is wrong with you. She thought to herself. Your best friend in the whole wide world just got dumped by him and already your attracted to him. Well I guess attraction isn't really all that bad, as long as it doesn't go any farther.
"So, I was just wondering, why exactly did you break up with her this time?"
"Well, a lot of reasons actually. She wasn't exactly the ideal girlfriend. She was a bit, I don't know, obsessive. She would leave a million messages on my voicemail. They were the stupidest messages too. Stuff like, 'baby I love you call me back,' or, 'why haven't you returned my calls? I'm getting worried. Baby? Where are you sweetie?' It was kind of freaky. She would come over to my dorm almost everyday just to see me. She always talked about marriage and having kids and stuff like that. I'm just not ready for that right now."
"Oh I get it now," Annette said. "She was just too devoted?"
"Yea I guess," he said avoiding eye contact. "I'm kind of hungry, do you like wanna get a burger or something?"
"Uh.I don't know. I mean you guys just broke up a day ago, I mean wouldn't that make me a bad friend?"
"It's just a burger. It's not like it's a date or anything."
"Um.I guess so then. Yea, I am pretty hungry, too." She knew she shouldn't. If Kerrie ever found out, she would be so angry. Their friendship would probably be over. Kerrie did not take things like that lightly. She was a bit of a drama queen.
They walked across the street to an Arby's. They ordered their food and sat down.
"So who are you seeing these days?" Brett asked. "Are you still with that Mike guy, or was his name Matt?"
"It was Mark and no we're not together anymore."
"What happened? You guys were really cute together."
"He just, I don't know, wasn't right."
"I see," he said while stuffing a French fry into his mouth. Annette started to giggle. "What?" he asked.
"Oh it's nothing," she said. "You just got a little ketchup on your mouth." She leaned across the table and wiped the ketchup off with a napkin.
"Thanks," he said sounding a little embarrassed.
"Well I guess I should be going now, I got to visit my grandmother. She's sick. See you later."
"Oh ok. Bye, we should hang out tomorrow."
"Yea that sounds like fun. See you then." With that she was off. Brett just sat there thinking about the whole situation.
Meanwhile Katherine sat at a table not to far behind their table. She had on dark sunglasses and a big hat. She was barely recognizable.
"Who is this boy?" she said to herself. "And what is he doing with that evil bitch?" If there was one thing she couldn't stand it was Annette. She hated seeing him with a perfectly good-looking college boy. She just didn't deserve it.
And there Katherine sat. Plotting her revenge on Annette.
