"Well….what?" Trance asked demandingly. She had only met this boy earlier that day and she was already shouting…
"Well, Beka and Dylan have known each other for…a long time." Harper explained, his feet shuffling,
"How long do you mean…."
"Well, not as long as ive known Dylan for…but…"
"But? But what…"
"Well, they went out with each other for a while…" Harper said, frowning…
"How long Harper?"
"About…a year, and then Dylan went and left Beka at a school dance for some blonde girl in a pink dress, Beka just stood there. Then when I came over she just left, just like that."
"Jee…that's kind of mean."
"Beka was a wreck, she was on 9, or 10. That's when she stopped dating." He sighed and looked to the floor.
"But, they talk…they still…Act like friends." Trance said, confused.
"They may talk and act like friends. But I think Beka will never be able to trust Dylan again. And now she doesn't want any one else with him because she doesn't want what had happened to her to happen to any one else. Especially not Rommie.
"But…Bek- why Especially not Rommie?"
"Well A) Because they're friends and B) Because Rommie and Dylan have been out with each other before and things didn't work out…"
"What happened? If you don't mind saying.."She said after a moment of thinking. Trance started to get the feeling she was asking to much.
"Well, Dylan and Rommie were at the movies. When Dylan went to get some food, he then caught the eye of a girl with long red hair and decided to o back to the movie with her. Leaving Rommie alone."
"Boy, I sure am getting a bad vibe from Dylan."
"Yeah well, Rommie was left there and when she came in the next day she asked Dylan where he was, he lied, she said she saw him with a red head and Dylan got a...slap. Then Dylan started to actually beg for her forgiveness and eventually she forgave him."
"But why…why would she forgive him?"
"I don't know, might have been something to do with her getting onto the cheer squad 3 days later. But to me and Beka it was a mystery…"
"So, Beka wants to protect Rommie from Dylan. To make sure it wont happen again?"
"That's how it seems."
"I respect Beka for doing that, but it should be Rommie's choice what to do. Not Beka's…." Trance whispered
"Beka its my choice what I do, not yours!" Rommie shouted as they stormed down the dark streets, the moonlight lighting up their pathway.
"Well you could have stayed there with him!" Beka screamed back
"I would have, but Nooo, you had to go and drag me away!"
"You didn't have to go!"
"Yes I did Beka, because if I hadn't of, you would of started blabbing on about what Dylan did to you!" Rommies voice echoed the streets around.
"He did the same to you awell!" She shrieked back
"It wasn't as bad as what he did to you Beka! You don't have to try and ruin my chance at becoming friends with Dylan, or even more than that, because you cant stand the fact that he might like me for more than a friend!" Rommie shouted, stopping in her tracks and Turning towards Beka.
"I was trying to help you!"
"No Beka, you weren't. You were trying to ruin my chanced of getting a boyfriend because YOU cant get one yourself! Because YOU are too scared you might get left behind with all the REJECTS again!"
This made Beka stand still, she looked at Rommie coldly.
"Beka..i didn't mean that, I…it slipped-"
"No… I think you meant exactly what you said!" And then she turned, and ran, she ran all the way home. Leaving Rommie slowly waving from side to side in guilt.
