“It’s not what you think.” Matt, my boyfriend, sprung from his buddy’s couch, his tanned hands moving in front of him and into his hair. The longish, messy brown hair I loved running my fingers through. His hands kept moving—in front of him, around, everywhere. Everywhere except back on the body of the girl beside him. “Lila.” Matt stepped toward me as though approaching a frightened woodland creature. “You weren’t supposed to be here tonight.”
The fuck?! It's definitely what she thinks Asshole. You're clearly cheating on her.
The girl adjusted her gauzy blue top. “Matt, just tell her.”
Uh-oh. I think it has been going on for a while.
“It’s this thing I meant to talk to you about,” he stammered. “So much was happening, you know, with the team and the trip. And you, losing your grandmother. I couldn’t—I didn’t want to bother you.”
TaNginamo. You should have told her sooner
The girl stood and scoffed. ”I’m Meghan. Matt and I, we’re together.” She completed the declaration by hooking her arm through Matt’s, the space between them swallowed up like a black hole. “Since the trip planning meet-up.”
The nerve! Kapal ng mukha mo girl.
“This was supposed to be our trip. If you didn’t want—” To be with me was too hard to say, I couldn’t. “You should have talked to me.”
Exactly!
Matt scowled. “You were the one pushing me away. If you were paying attention, you would have understood.”
Tanga. She's in grief. How would she pay attention? You should be the one paying attention to her and not another bitch.
The silver of the medal caught my eye again, dangling from Matt’s fingers. Stupid precious swim medal. For the last two months, I’d been his own personal cheerleader at his swim meets. He’d already been with Meghan by then.
Fuck you Matt
