The Other Girl

Chapter 3: Breaking up

Hope's Break up

"Hi Landon."

Hope gave a small smile. This was going to be bad. She had to get him back to her room. She was not going to have a scene in the hallway.

Just as he made it to face in front of her, Hope saw Josie walk by with Penelope. Good, so at least if a scene was started then it wouldn't completely ruin both plans.

While Hope wasn't paying attention, Landon leaned in for a kiss. The tribrid only had a second to react. She turned her face in time to avoid the lips but not the kiss. It was the first kiss the two had shared since Hope and Josie had started. Hope had truly used every excuse she could to avoid Landon at all cost.

"Hey, um, can we go to my room? I want to talk to you."

Hope took Landon by the elbow to lead him to her room.

The look on Landon's face told Hope that he wanted to say something. She just kept pulling him with her until they were at her room. Hope unlocked the door and pushed Landon inside.

"Hope, what's going on? You've been avoiding me for weeks and now you push me in here like its life and death."

Not as stupid as people think. That could be a good or bad thing. Okay, like a band-aid.

"Landon, I want to break-up."

The mop-headed boy looked at Hope in shock and anger.

"What is this bull-shit? You've been avoiding me for weeks and then you just break up with me?"

Hope knew that this wasn't going to be this easy. Nothing for her ever really was. And especially not when she wanted it to be.

"I don't love you and I would have done this two weeks ago, but Josie didn't want you to fail your midterms just because you were upset because we broke up."

"What does Josei have to do with this? Wait, are you dumping me for her?"

Hope knew that she was expecting a reaction, she just hadn't expected this one, but she wouldn't deny Josie, not ever.

"Yes. I love her and she loves me. We want to be together."

"That whore! Have you been fucking her? Have you let her fuck you?"

Landon was pissed and had fire in his eyes, but so much for him being smarter than he looked.

Hope's eyes glowed golden fire, showing the control that she was quickly losing. She grabbed the boy and pressed him against the door a good foot or so above the ground.

"Don't you dare call her that! If it wasn't for her being so sweet and actually caring about your feelings, I would have dumped you in a second! I didn't give a flying fuck that it was right before midterm and wouldn't have given two shits if you would have failed! Now, you will leave my room and never go near Josie or me again without an invite to do so. The next conversation we have will not be this nice. And yes, before you ask, I am being extremely nice to you right now."

With that, Hope opened her door and threw the boy out on his ass. Making sure to give one more golden eyed glare for emphasis that she was serious, before slamming the door in his face.

'Hope Josie is having better luck.' With that thought, Hope took stock of her room to ensure that it was ready for her and Josie's night.

She headed out to get everything from the kitchen so that she would be ready to meet her soon to be official girlfriend in the common room once she finished her own break up.
