“And now you hate him?” Ash continues, trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle that I’ve dropped in front of them.
I tilt my head as I make a disgusted face.
“That’s a reach. More likedespise.”I shrug slightly. “I realized that I’m always into assholes, and it has become a pattern. Can you guys believe it?” I question, hoping to get a more comforting reaction that shatters the tension around us.
Talking about the guys that I like is always a sensitive topic because they never agree with me. Ash is the only one that gets me or understands my magnetism to jerks, but it’s not like I get a lot of support from Cora and Karma. They’re brutally sincere with me.
“Honestly? Yes,” Cora replies in a severe tone.
Anger flows through my anatomy.
“You were meant to say ‘no’, idiots. But I’ll continue with my monologue since you don’t know how to follow a goddamn script. Thanks.” Rolling my eyes, I put the bottle of wine away.
“Bree, I’m serious,” Cora presses the subject. “You have low expectations when it comes to guys. I don’t know where it comes from, but it’s always there. You’re a freaking valuable woman that deserves something better than a guy like him.”
Cora is blunt, and her words sting, even when I know that she means well.
Ever since she found out that I had a crush on John Carter, she has made it clear that she’s not a supporter of my feelings. Cora’s hate for athletes is not unknown. It comes a long way before we met in the first year of college, for a reason that I don’t understand. For her, John is the type of guy that you can’t take seriously. They’re clowns, assholes, idiots, and pure fuckboys that put their dicks in every hole they can find.
She doesn’t want that for me, which is okay.
But I don’t want tomarrythe guy. A little fun with him wouldn’t hurt, since I don’t get attached to people. I can say that John has been the longest crush that I’ve had without getting bored, and that’s due to not being in contact with him.
Obviously,since the first time that we had a conversation, I ended up being disappointed.
“Thanks for nothing, girl,” I mutter bitterly.
No matter how much I understand her, I’m stubborn.
“She’s right,” Karma defends her. “You pick guys who are… well, trash.”
Oh, c’mon.
I’ve met worse guys. An example of that is Mike, the second guy that I hooked up with, that spread the rumor in my school that I cheated on him at a party. In reality, I ended up things because he dropped the “L” bomb on me during sex.
“Don’t help, Kar,” I plead, biting the inner side of my cheek. “At least admit that he’s attractive.”
Cora wrinkles her face with disgust and says, “I don’t know what you see in him.”
“If it helps, I do find him attractive,” Ash intervenes, turning off the stove as she smiles at me. “Putting it in simple words. He’s a magnet, and I am metal. That’s how attractive he is.”
“See?” I point at her. “That’s support! Not what I see from you two.”
Cora shrugs.
“I prefer to be the kind of friend that tells you the truth to your face than to be the one that supports your bad choices,” She excuses herself, raising her hands peacefully.That hurts.“I know that it won’t stop you, but I try.”
Even when it’s hard to believe, I appreciate her honesty. At least she’s not lying to me to make me feel better. However, her words exasperate me every once in a while.
“I know,” I say, taking a deep breath. “Can we get drunk already?” I change the topic, shifting away from the tension, and I earn a laugh from them.
“I can’t drink a lot today. I have to be at the academy early, but I promise to be with you guys for a bit,” mentions Cora.
I glance at Ash and Karma, waiting for their response.
“Oh, we’re in,” Karma chirps.
