I walked into the cafeteria with some of my friends, hoping to find Kyla the love of my life, I couldn't concentrate in class today, cause I missed her so much, we haven't seen each other lately.
I ignored the stares and whispers I often got from the girls in the cafeteria, cause am the hottest most popular guy in school.
We went to our usual table after ordering our lunch, where the popular kids in school sat.
Just then I spotted her, my Kyla walking like a queen that she is, making everyone mesmerized by her beauty.
I walked up to her to give her a hug but, she stopped me half way.
"I need to say something", she said giving me a weird expression or was that disgust, I couldn't understand.
Did I do anything wrong, I question myself but
"sure babe", I said smiling even though I couldn't understand why she had that look, I hope I didn't do anything wrong.
"Am breaking up with you", she said loudly and emotionless like it was a casual statement.
'What do you mean, u want to break up with me?, I asked not believing what she just said, babe you can't do this, I love you!, and I will do anything you want pls don't do this", I begged my voice shaking, my chest tight as if my heart was about to shatter, I grabbed her arms, desperately trying to hold into something that felt real, but it only made the situation worse, was this dream.
"Don't touch me!", Kyla said, slapping me, her voice cold, a disgusting look twisting her face like I was nothing more than a piece of trash.
she pulled away with ease, and I could feel the sting of her rejection like a slap to my soul, the laughter of her friends only made it worse which caused people around her to murmur and whisper while watching us.
"am sorry babe, it was a mistake I promise I would never do such a thing again, I really love you", I said pleading despite the humiliation I was facing and the fact that I didn't know what I did.
"blah, blah, blah, I love this, I love that, I don't freaking care!, and you can't even get me what I want and you claim you love me?, who does that, and you see this thing you call a relationship, it was all a bet!", she said smiling.
'what!!!', I exclaimed in disbelief.
"what do you mean by, It was all just a bet" I asked, confused with a distorted appearance filled with grief and pain.
"Oh yeah, you see,.... me and my friends, bet that if I could get you u fall in love with me and then break up with you I would get a lot of cash and a nice house too, so I thought why not, besides you liked me didn't you?", She said happily with an evil smirk on her face enjoying each moment of torture she was causing me.
"no this can't be", I said in so much pain.
"you're joking right", I asked looking at her face to check for any hint of lying, but she gave me a smug look, that said she couldn't possibly be.
'what!! S...so it's true?, why Kyla what did I ever do to deserve this?", I asked admist pains, I held my chest which was beating violently.
"oh trust me you do, alot actually, you look like a little dog begging for his treats,who knew the school's hearthrob could be so soft to the point of crying for a woman". She said coldly her eyes glisten with satisfaction as she spoke then looked at me disgustingly before laughing.
'hahaha' she and her friends burst into laughter while taking pictures of me and then left the cafeteria, the whispers started immediately, like a wave of gossip that swept through the crowd.
I just stood there bewildered not knowing what to do or say, I just couldn't let her go like that I loved her so dearly, tears fell down my cheeks as I looked at her retreating figure.
Just then I began to hear rumors, whispers, round me it's seems like the whole school had gathered to watch the scene, I felt so humiliated but nothing felt worse than my hurting heart, which had been broken beyond repair, I couldn't stand here any longer; the crowd, the whispers, the pitying eyes, so I ran, heart pounding as I shove my way passed students who barely even noticed and then went to the boys washroom room.
Looking at myself in the mirror, with one hand on my chest, my disheveled clothes, red eyes and a bruised face which Kyla had slapped earlier when I touched her looked so swollen and red, I just couldn't believe she would do this to me. I trusted her so much that it hurt so bad, I felt so much pain, Just then my head started spinning and I fell down the last thing I remember was someone rushing into the washroom yelling my name as I passed out.

I was had just drpped my tray on the table in the cafeteria, while thinking about my science test which I have just written, when someone tapped me, I just smiled, even without raising my head to look at the person I already knew who would have the nerve to disturb my thoughts.
"Hey bestie, how's my favorite girl doing?", Lucy asked after taking a seat next to me, and then took a doughnut out of my tray, as though it was hers, I just chuckled.
'everytime' I murmured to myself, she always does that claiming it to be her way of showing her love.
"Hi Lucy, am doing great!, you?, I asked smiling rather happily.
"Am doing great", she said cheerfully.
"but it's just this stupid physics project Miss Emily gave me it's giving me an headache, she said faking a sad look, I just chuckled, I knew she was trying to get out of doing her project by making me do it for her.
"Um I think I could help you with tha...,"
I was saying when she suddenly engulfed me in a tight hug.
"Oh thanks babe", she said still hugging me tightly, I froze for a second unsure of how to react.
"You're welcome", I muttered trying to gently break free from the hug, but she wasn't letting go any time soon.
"So where were we", she asked after finally letting me go.
I was about to say something when I spotted someone walk into the cafeteria like she owned the place, flanked by her usual crew of giggling followers, they look like they stepped out of a reality show, all perfect hair and matching outfits.
As they walked in the leader which is Selena gave us both death glares.
Selena was Lucy's rival they were the hottest and two of the most popular kids in school, and they challenged each other to see which of them is going to be the most popular, wealthiest student and the highschool queen bee, blah blah blah.
"I so hate them",Lucy said as she glared back at them not backing down.
"Lucy!" I shouted giving her a glare.
"Fine I dislike their characters", Lucy said reluctantly like it was painful to say.
"I just can't believe she would go to any length just to surpass me", she said with a disgusting look.
"Can you believe she locked me in the girls bathroom when I was getting ready for the audition last month and then told everyone that I couldn't come cause I was sick, but thank God luck was on my side, that someone pased by the bathroom that day and heard my cries if not I would have been stuck in the there for a day, she said angrily.
"Am sorry, I wasn't there to help", I said sadly.
"It's ok that's in the past now", she said.
I knew Lucy was talking but I wasn't listening because of what I saw unfold right now.
"Sasha, hey!!, are you listening to me, what are you staring at, she asked.
Then she turned to look in the direction I was looking at then she gasped.
"OMG isn't that Jake, who just kissed Selena on the lips, but I thought you guys liked each other", Lucy asked all at once with a shocked expression.
I just couldn't say anything, I just stared at them in shock and confusion,
"but.... but...".
