“Yeah. See you tomorrow.” I’m as chipper as I can be, holding back tears as I watch them walk arm in arm down the hallway before disappearing around the corner.

I have to resist the urge to punch my locker in anger.

I know I can’t be angry with Lulu. She doesn’t know that I’m crushing on Alec. Then again, sheismy best friend. You would think she knows me well enough to be able to tell if I’m interested in someone. I can tell instantly when she is.

Does she really not know me as well as I thought she didordoes she know I like Alec and doesn’t care?

I know Lulu. She takes what she wants when she wants with little to no apology. I guess I never expected her to take something from me.

Then again, can she really take something from me that isn’t mine?

I just met Alec today, for goodness sake. It’s not like I know the guy. And I certainly don’t have the right to place a claim on him. That’s not how relationships work. I can’t just say,I like you so you’re mine now.

No matter how attracted I am to Alec, it gives me no right to be angry at Lulu for liking him. And clearly he likes her back. At least, it seems like he does. Otherwise why would he agree to go with her?

He has eyes, the green monster on my shoulder whispers into my ear. And it’s right. Hedoeshave eyes. And if he’s using them, there’s no comparison between me and Lulu. There never will be.
