We sat at the food court, waiting for Konan. I was looking around at all the happy couples. Deidara was busy rehearsing in his head. I tapped his shoulder when I saw Konan. She sprinted over to us. I smirked as I saw that I was doing my job flawlessly.
"Hey!" She waved at us.
I waved back, "Hi. We really didn't introduce ourselves, did we? Well, I'm Hana and that's Tara,"
"Hi," Tara waved timidly.
"Konan. Thanks for meeting me here. Truth be told, I kinda want to know about your boyfriend,"
I smiled, "Who doesn't?"
Konan smiled back at me, "Me at first, but after you told me what a great guy he is now, I just couldn't resist,"
"Now?" Tara tilted her head sideways.
"Yeah, this is kinda of embarrassing, but I dated him before, back in the eighth grade," Konan blushed at the memory.
"That wasn't you," Tara said and pointed at Konan.
"I changed my name because the last guy I dated was stalking me. Clearly my appearance has changed as well,"
"Clearly," I said.
"You know, I'm glad you two finally hooked up. You were so in love with him, and I always thought you'd two make a good match, if you didn't kill him for seeing other girls first," Konan laughed.
"Um, I just remembered that I have a date later, so I'd better go change," I changed the subject as fast as I could.
"Me too! How about we double! Unless, Tara has someone too?" Konan looked at Tara.
"No, she'd single," I said for her.
"Too bad," Konan patted her shoulder.
"Well, I'll see you at about six than?" I stood up and asked Konan.
"Sure, outside of room 208?" She shrugged.
"See you then!" I waved and dragged Tara away, back to the car.
We drove back to our room in silence. I could tell once we were safely alone, there would be a fight. A big fight. I was right, like always it turned out.
"What the hell did she mean that you always loved me?" He sputtered as soon as the door was closed behind me.
I shrugged nervously, never having to lie to him about my feels before, "I think she was just saying things. You know, to make it sound like she didn't ignore us,"
"No, she watched us the whole year, until we went out," He shook his head.
"Listen, nothing I can say will pacify you right now, so let's move on to the bigger question. Do you want to continue, knowing who she is?"
"I do. Not only will this make great pay-back, but now I can finally just take it easy,"
"Easy? Like quit?" I asked in astonishment.
"Yeah. I'm getting older now, and-"
"Oh my God, you fell for her all over again!" I accused him.
"I did, so I guess I owe you double for acting like my girlfriend to make her jealous," He smiled at me and hugged me.
"Oh yeah," I cried on the inside, as now whatever chance I had before was over.
"Hana, you really are the best," He hugged me again and began changing for the date.
I just nodded as everything fell into place for me. Every thing I have ever done was now for nothing. My life had been wasted for someone who never even once cared for me like I cared for him. My whole life, since we met, means nothing now. Nothing is what I spent my life on. Just pain and emptiness. After this, no more. I would help him one last time, and then I was gone from his life forever. That I promised myself.
"Uh, Hana, are you going to get dressed?" He asked me.
"Yes," I sighed.
Oh, I'd finish my job, but not without a final bang to be remembered for.
