GUY'S POV

I don't know why I reacted like that. I honestly don't.

I'm not jealous or anything. Okay, well maybe just a little. Connie was my first girlfriend after all and we've shared pretty much our first everything together – except our first 'time' of course.

Speaking of girlfriends mine is going to be so mad at me. I still can't believe I just left her like that. It's definitely no secret the Ducks don't really like her and this little feud between Connie and myself isn't making things any easier for her.

Well she did give me a broken nose. I wish I could say I'd seen it coming but I didn't. Who knew she could hit that hard?

Oh yeah Averman knew. She broke his arm in kindergarten for stealing her GI Joe.

He only stole it because I dared him to. I remember I thought that girls shouldn't play with GI Joes and she sure showed me why she should be allowed to.

Looking at the situation now I couldn't help but wonder if I hadn't dared him to steal it and she never got the wrong first impression of him, would he be the one who was her first boyfriend?

I didn't hate Averman; no one could hate Averman. When you look past all the corny jokes he makes in an attempt to make everyone feel better, he really is a decent guy.

And here I am wondering why Connie didn't see this earlier.

That's because I snaked my way in with my fake charm and fake smile.

Soft hands, remember concentration not strength I recall saying those words to her with a wink. I really was a jerk. I'd only acted that way because I'd seen my brother doing it with his girlfriends and I wanted to be the one who got the girl.

Why am I torturing myself with this?

Because I still in some weird kind of way I still love her.

I'll always love her.

Although it is very hard to like her right now, the dull pain in my nose is a reminder of that.

I also can't play hockey for a few weeks.

I really should hate that bitch shouldn't I?

Speaking of bitches I hear my name being called.

"Guy Germaine! I want a word with you"

I turned around and tried not to groan when I saw Karen's best friend Krista heading my way. She did not look happy.

"What?" I try to let my annoyance show.

"Don't you what me you jackass. What the hell did you do to Karen?" she's standing in front of me with her hands on her hips.

"I didn't do anything" I replied. All I did was leave her with the Ducks.

"Bullshit, you had to have done something. Why else would she have locked herself in her dorm crying her eyes out saying she hates you" Krista's face was getting redder by the second.

She almost reminded me of Violet in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when she turned blue.

"Fine! I'll go talk to her" I resigned taking off down the hall.

"I hope she smacks you out" Krista called out behind me.

It's so nice to know you're loved by your girlfriend's best friend. Note the extreme sarcasm.

I knew what I would be greeted with once Karen opened her door and I must admit I wasn't exactly looking forward to it.

"She won't come out" another one of Karen's friends told me when she saw me. I couldn't remember her name though.

"I know, Krista told me" I replied stepping closer to the door.

"Karen open up" I pounded on the door.

"Get lost Guy" she yelled back at me.

"I'm not going anywhere now save us both some time and open the damn door" I said a little louder than I intended to.

The door swung open and a tear stricken Karen let me in and slammed the door shut behind us.

"What do you want? Haven't you done enough?" she screamed at me.

"I'm sorry I left you. I just didn't want to start another fight with them" I replied as if it were the most logical thing.

Unfortunately a hysterical girl almost always refused to see logic.

"You left me sitting there like an idiot because you didn't want to start a fight with them right after your ex-girlfriend announces that she's dating someone else. Are you fucking kidding me?" Karen's voice had calmed considerably but there was this eerie stillness to it.

"Look" I started but she cut me off.

"No you look. If you're still in love with Connie just tell me. I'd rather know the truth rather than just be the girl you settle for until she becomes available again" she looked at me.

It was a look I couldn't bear to see. I'd hurt her and now I needed to fix it.

So I told her the truth.

"Baby, I'm not in love with Connie. I still love her but it's a different kind of love. That and its too weird to see her with Averman" I told her as I stepped towards her and took her hands in mine.

"Why is it so weird, you knew she'd find someone else" Karen looked sceptical. I couldn't blame her though, my actions at breakfast had given the impression I was a jealous asshole.

"But its Averman" I pointed out. Again, there's nothing wrong with Averman per say, its just I dunno, the last person I'd expect to see her dating.

"Right" Karen said slowly. I knew she wasn't understanding. That was the thing I liked the most about her. She had this ability to see past a person's looks. Well she was dating me wasn't she?

"So what does this mean for us?" I ask hopefully.

"What do you want it to mean?" she said softly. I could tell she was anticipating that I would break up with her.

"It means that I want you and no one else" I told her.

She broke out into a huge grin "Really?" she asked amazed that I would say that.

"Yes really" I told her wanting to kiss her.

I didn't have to wait long because she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me.

Now comes the part where I figure out a way not to freak out the next time I see Connie and Averman together.

Its not going to be easy.
