*WARNING: THIS STORY IS VERY TRIGGERING. INVOLVES SELF HARM, DEPRESSION, AND SUICIDE. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
It was three days later when Mitch and Mike approached Blossom at lunchtime. Mitch, Mike and Brick found out that she found out about the prank. She was sat alone in the corner of the cafeteria, playing with her phone case when they sat down at her table.
"As you can probably tell, Brick no longer has any interest in being your friend." Mitch chuckled, watching her face for a reaction.
"Not that he ever did, really." Mike added.
"So, what do you think of him? Brick was a real asshole, right?" Mitch was egging her on, trying to get a reaction. After all, what's the point of a game if they don't get to have any fun?
She sighed, trying to decide whether or not to reply. Blossom knew that getting involved an fighting would only give the boys-and the rest of the school-something to laugh about, but still she knew that she had to stand her ground.
"You don't want to know what I think, you want to hear how much it hurts to know what he did to me. You want me to tell you that I'm heartbroken, that I'll never get over it. You want a story."
The two boys looked at each other, laughing to themselves at how worked up she was getting. To them, all of this was still a sick, evil, twisted game.
"I mean, doesn't it hurt knowing he betrayed you, messed with you and told everyone your secrets?" Mitch questioned, smirking.
Blossom was glad she had never spoken to him before, because he sounded like a real asshole.
"You guys are pathetic. You act like you're looking out for Brick, but you were never his friends. You treat him like a dog, making him run around doing whatever tricks you want, occasionally being nice and giving him a prize. He is captain of the football team and he can get any girl he wants. He's funny, attractive, talented, he has everything, but you just use him and break him down and take away his privacy and honesty."
Blossom could rant for hours, going on and on about how vile the boys were, but she knew better than to give them what they want.
"You might have created a perfect leader for your group, but you have destroyed person who he really is. So congratulations. I hope you're really happy."
Most of the other students in the canteen were watching, trying to catch what the conversation was about. She had no doubts that they were probably laughing at her for ring so gullible, but for now she swallowed her pride and stood her ground.
"So I take it you're not friends with him anymore?"
The question came from Mike, and when she stood up to leave. The boys thought they had finally won. Right before leaving the room and making an exit, she turned and shouted her answer back at them.
"I am not friends him. I never was and I never will be. Brick is nothing to me, there's your story."
Ok, warning. After this chapter, this story gets intense. REALLY INTENSE. Read at your own risk! Chapter 6 is coming up!
