Part 15
Bradin and Britney were walking along the beach talking and holding hands when Rachel walked up.
"Hey Bradin," she said heavily flirting and not noticing that Britney was the one with him.
"Uh, Rachel, whats the deal?" Britney asked while holding Bradin's hand tighter and tighter to keep from lashing out on Rachel.
Rachel couldn't believe that Britney was there. Afterall, she was under the impression that her and Bradin kind of had a thing and that Britney was out of the picture.
"What are you doing here?" Rachel asked.
"I'm here to watch my BOYFRIEND surf," she said emphasizing the word boyfriend.
"Oh, so it's like that Bradin? One minute you are talking about dating me and then she shows up and you forget all about me!" Rachel was almost screaming now.
Bradin was stunned. "I told you that I couldn't date you because of Britney. I never said me and you were exclusive or anything. You know thats what I said. Don't even lie to get Britney mad at me."
"I'm not lieing and you know it Bradin! You said, 'Lets go on a few dates and see how it goes.' Your the lier."
Britney then let go of Bradin's hand. "Just go away Rachel. Calm down and come and talk to me when you can talk to me like a person not some object of your jealousy."
"Jealous!" Rachel shouted, "You think i'm jealous? Just get one thing straight, there is nothing about you to be jealous of. Bradin will realize what a huge mistake and come running back to me."
Britney had had all she could take. She reached out and started to punch Rachel when she felt someone grab here.
"She's not worth it, Britney." Bradin sullenly said. "Let's just go."
Britney was furious. Didn't Bradin see how awful Britney was being? Was he taking her side? She just stared at them for a moment. They looked so perfect together. She could just tell that Bradin was taking Rachel's side. Why couldn't she ever compete with Rachel? Rachel had always been prettier and smarter and she ALWAYS got the boys that Britney wanted. Once, just once, Britney wish she could get the boy, and the grades, and have the better style. Just once.
After a while, Britney finally spoke. "Bradin, don't you see what she's doing. She always has to have what I want. This is just a competition to her. She just wants you to be like a trophy to her. Thats all it is. You will mean nothing to her once she knows she has you. Once she realizes that she won, and I lost. Again."
Bradin didn't understand. "I thought you two were best friends. Where did all this competition and jealousy come from?"
Britney tried to speak, but Rachel interrupted. "She's just saying anything to get you."
"Rachel, don't even start with that. You know exactly why Jake left me at Cabo. It was you. He saw you and wanted to be with you instead of me. You always get what I want. You're the reason my heart was broken so bad. You always do this to me." When Britney finished talking she was in tears. "Always"
At that moment Bradin realized why Britney was so hurt when she found out that he had went on a date with Rachel. "Britney, I didn't know. I thought Rachel was just some nice girl on vacation in Hawaii."
"What are you trying to say?" Rachel yelled out. "I'm not a mean person. I just happen to get he guys Britney wants."
Bradin laughed at this. "If you were her friend, you wouldn't want the guys she wants. You would respect her and stay away."
"Bradin, I, I don't know what to say. No one has ever stood up for me like that," Britney said, smiling a little.
Rachel had enough of this sweet gushy talk. "Oh, isn't that sweet. You know what Britney, I always get what I want. Just face it, i'm better looking, i'm nicer, and guys want me. Who would want you?"
Bradin was quick to answer that question. "I would. And if your gonna talk to my girlfriend like that, I think you better go."
Rachel then started to walk away. But of course, in true Rachel fashion, she had to run her mouth one more time. "Okay. Fine. But you'll be sorry. Britneys boring and stuck up. You would have had a lot more fun with me."
