Anger boiled in Katie's heart. Freddy said everything would be okay. Everything between them would be forever. I mean, they were only in high school, but it seemed right, perfect even. She believed every word he had said. Even when he said he didn't know the girl he was currently making out with.
It might have hurt a little less if Katie had seen Freddy pull away. But as sure as she was standing there, they had been kissing for a long time.
She would stop them. And she would get him back. Even if it took every ounce of energy she had left.
Freddy had taken her heart, and stomped on it. Now she would do the same to him.
Katie walked up to the pair, and coughed.
Freddy pulled away, and saw his girlfriend, the love of his life, knowing what he was just doing.
"Uh, Katie. What are you doing here this early?"
Katie could only wince.
"I go to school here, dumbass! What in the hell are you doing?"
Freddy couldn't speak. So Celeste spoke for him.
"Who are you" she asked.
Katie smiled.
"Oh, I see Freddy didn't mention to you that he had a girlfriend. But nice to meet you", Katie extended her hand, Celeste didn't move, "I'm Katie."
Freddy still stood dumbstruck. He had managed to lose the person most important in his entire life. He swore to this girl he would always take care of her. He had broken promise after promise he made to her that day, and he couldn't say anything.
Celeste spoke again.
"Well, it seems as though the reason he didn't mention it is because he doesn't want you anymore, sweetheart. So just move along, and leave me and Freddy to what we were doing."
Katie was far from walking away.
Celeste moved in for another kiss, but Katie pulled her back.
"I'll walk away when I good and well want to, missy. And from now on", she turned to Freddy, "you can stay away from me. If you so much as try to talk to me, I will turn on you so fast, your head will spin. We're finished here. Forever." She laughed.
"Funny word, you promised me that."
With those words, Katie Brown walked out of Freddy Jones life, forever.
Unless he could get her back.
"So, Freddy, darling," Celeste quipped, "what should we do now? I was thinking we can maybe go out to dinner sometime. I don't care. Whatever you want Freddy. I will do anything you want."
Freddy, tired and hurt, said back, "You know what, Celeste. I don't think this thing between you and me is going to work. Like you said, the two hottest people in this school should be together. And she just walked out that door."
