School Of Rockin' Secrets

Summer

I took out the pictures.
"What is this?" I ask calmly.

Tomika climbs of the counter.

"Well, they are photographs, but the young ones call them pics," she says, trying to be funny.

"Stop it," I say, then she just stared at me,"How could you!"

"Summer, please -"
"You stole my boyfriend!" I say.

"Summer, I didn't! I would never!" she says.

"How long?" I ask.

"Two months..." she says quietly.
"Guys, can we just -"

"Shut up, Freddy," I cut him off.

"Summer, I never wanted things to be this way. I'm so sorry. What can I do to make it better? I'm sorry! We thought you wouldn't approve!" she said.

"How could you think that! I'm your best friend, you should know me better by now," I say, angry.
"...I know..." she says, looking down.

I shake my head. The only emotion I can read on Tomika's face is pain. She looks so hurt, but my hurt is clouding everything in me.

"I can't believe you'd think I would recent your feelings. You think I'm that selfish and heartless. I can't even look at you guys..."I storm out of the music store.
