"I dare you,"
He said to me with determination in his eyes.
"I dare you to try and make me believe those words that are coming out of your mouth. If you succeed then I'll change my ways."
"And what happens if I don't?"
He smirked at me, revealing h...

"Wow it's weird seeing Bridgewood High's it boy being respectful." -Zamzam Amin, IASWAD. CHAPTER FIFTEEN:Betrayal
Adam Mathews
"Kathie, I have to tell him... He's my best friend for crying out loud! I've been keeping this secret in for too long and I can't anymore. I feel guilty about what we did to him." The moment I heard that sentence I let go of the bag I had in my hands and everything else. What could Alex possibly mean by that? Was he the person Kathie cheated on me with!? My best friend! The person who I could always count on would do this to me.
"A-Adam uh what are you doing here?" He asked with a nervous expression written all over his face. The moment I saw his face I knew my suspicions were right. How could he do this to me? How could they do this to me!? I turned to Kathie with burning eyes, she did this. They did this, I will never forgive them.
"He was the one you cheated on me with? Out of all the guys in the world you went after my best friend!?" I couldn't control my temper. "And you," I turned to Alex. "You went after my girlfriend without knowing if I still had feelings for her or not. How could you do this to me? I thought you were one of the only people in my life that I could always trust. But I guess I was wrong." There were no words to describe how I'm feeling right now.
"Adam please let us explain!" Kathie exclaimed with desperation in her voice. I looked between her and Alex is pure disgust."It's not what it looks like." She added in a softer tone.
"She's right," Alex agreed. "Please Adam I'm sorry. But you have to understand it was-" I cut him off, not wanting to hear another one of his lame excuses. I can't stand to look at them a second longer because I know if I do I'll either do, or say something I will regret later. "Save it." I grabbed my belongings and left his house. Now I don't have anywhere to go. At least until my father leaves next week for Paris I'll have to find another place to crash.

"You could stay with us. I already asked my father and he said he's okay with it as long as it's for a couple of days." Isa said on the other line. I let out a sigh of relief, "Don't worry it's only going to be for a week tops. Thanks for letting me stay with you guys." I responded in a grateful tone. "No problem bro." After that we said good bye and hung up.
For once in my life I feel like I've made a true friend. I'm lucky to have a friend like Isa, someone who's loyal and will always be there. That's exactly the kind of friend I need right now considering what just happened. I knew the moment I drove into Alex's driveway and saw Kathie's car parked out front, that something weird was going on. So I let myself in to his house by using the spare key under the door mat to find out. I didn't expect anything at first, I just thought they were talking. But no, they weren't just talking. They were talking about what they did to me. And that's when I put two and two together. The guy that she was making out with was Alex.
