Walking home after school, I suddenly remember I left my phone in the classroom. I turn back toward the building, my footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. As I approach my classroom, I hear something that makes my blood freeze.

Mmm... wet kissing sounds

My heart starts pounding as dread washes over me. Against my better judgment, I creep closer to the window and peer inside.

What I see destroys me.

My girlfriend is pressed against my best friend, their mouths locked together in a passionate kiss.

Friend: Doesn't this make you feel bad for your boyfriend? Haha.

My friend pulls back with a smirk, his voice dripping with cruel amusement, while my girlfriend just laughs that light, carefree laugh I used to love.

Hah, please. That loser has no clue. Now shut up and get back to it.

She pulls him back in, and their lips crash together again.

My hands shake uncontrollably as ice-cold realization floods through me. This isn't a nightmare I can wake up from this is really happening.
