Grace sat back in her seat, clearly stunned. I wasn't sure if it was because I pulled that stunt or because I didn't want to kiss her.
"Truth" she finally choked out.
"What do you know about David Mathews?" I interrogated her. Grace's face looked shocked all over again and besides her Amy and Anthony looked tense. " I m-meant dare".
"I dare you to answer my question".
Grace turned to look at Anthony and Amy. What was the big deal? What's the worst thing that he could of done?
"Later" Amy finally spoke up for Grace.
"When is later?"
"Not now" Amy said before shooting me a glare.
All four of us turned back to the rest of the players who looked completely confused. Anthony dismissed the game and trudged upstairs.
When I reached the top of the steps to the main floor, everyone looked drunk or on the verge of it.I hope they have designated drivers.I looked around the party and noticed not only sophomores, but juniors and seniors too. Surprisingly no freshmen.
I really had to use the bathroom but I looked around and didn't see any one I came upstairs with; the ones that hadn't consumed an ounce of alcohol. I guess I have to find it myself. I walked past a dining hall, not as big as Amy's but just as breathtaking. At first I opened two doors. One was an office and one was a guest room, which by the way had an intense make out session going on before I interrupted. Anthony should really lock these doors when having a party.
I rounded a corner where they were another set of two doors. I opened the first and finally spotted the bathroom.Before I could even take one step inside, I heard crying coming from the second door.
"No Mom. I want to stay home for Christmas".
Was that...Grace?
"I don't care if it will look good on my college application. I don't want to go to Law-Camp. I just want to stay home".
She paused, to listen her mom I assume.
"Mom could you just listen to-. Mom? Mom?".
I wanted to comfort her but she would know I was eavesdropping. I finally decided that after I used the bathroom, I would go talk to her. By the time I was finished, the crying had stopped and I found out this was the only door Anthony had locked. I started to wonder how Grace had gotten inside. My thoughts were interrupted by a text on my phone.
Amy: Where are you?
Sophia: By the bathroom. Why?
Amy: Up or down stairs?
Sophia: Down
Amy: Stay there
Less than a minute later, all three targets walked up to me. Grace, looking perfectly fine, walked up to the closed door and opened it with a key. Well that explains how she got in.
Anthony walked in first with his hands up. "Welcome to my casa."
"Anthony, you're so stupid. Casa means house" Amy said.
Anthony ignored Amy and walked over to his bed. Just as he was about to sit down, a loud crash came from outside his room. He looked at all three of us before running out his bedroom. Amy and Grace proceeded to Anthony's bed while I stood there awkwardly.
I finally decided to say something. "Sooo, why are we here?"
Grace looked at Amy before replying "To talk about David".
"Oh" was my smart reply.
"Freshmen year" Grace started "Amy and I were simply classmates so we had no reason to tell each other who boyfriend were."
I nodded not seeing where this was going.
"Even if both of our boyfriends was David".
Wait what?
"David was the dream guy freshman year, I assume. All the guys wanted him not because his looks but of his personality ".
I nodded my head because I knew ecactly what she meant.
"He would take me on dates during the afternoon and Amy on dates at night or sometimes just one of us a day because of special occasions " she continued "Amy saw him with me one afternoon when she went to the mall." A tear was now rolling down her cheek. It must have been really been bad for her.
"Amy confronted me and that's how we found out. I-I mean we were just a bet between David and his friends to see who would sleep with him first. His feelings for me were fake while I was stupidly falling for him".
I stood there silently not sure what to say. It was a lot to take in. The David I knew, he was sweet, caring and funny, now I'm finding out he's not only a jerk but a cheater. It made me think did I really know him at all ?
Finally I thought of something to say. "At least some good came from this".
"What good comes from both of our heart breaking?" Amy said through clenched teeth. I was taken back by her harshness. Usually she's aggressive but never this much, almost never towards me, but I continued anyways.
"You guys became best friends.". Amy and Grace looked at each other smiling.
Almost all question were answered but I was still confused about something. "But wait, what did he do to Anthony?" I asked.
"He didn't do anything to me". Anthony said walking through his doorway with clenched fists. "I punched him".
