Did you hear about Lorraine?

           

            “Did you hear about Lorraine?” Kate interrogated Jessica, looking her straight into the eyes.

            “No, why? Is it bad?”                       

            Kate smirked subtly, “You could say that.”

            Was I supposed to say something? Lorraine’s my best friend, Kate and Jessica are our friends too, but they obviously didn’t know I was right behind them.

           

            “Tell me more! Now!” Jessica shrieked as she jumped with excitement.

            “You seriously haven’t heard? Literally, everyone’s talking about it. Well, accept Brooklyn.”

            Wait, Brooklyn? Come on, that’s me. Lorraine tells me everything, there’s nothing, and I mean nothing we don’t know about each other. 

            “And obviously me. Hurry up and tell me before class starts!” Jessica slapped her binder hoping she’d get to her point.

            “Okay, well…”

            The bell rang, perfect timing! Get to your freaking point, Kate. I thought to myself. Maybe if I just lingered a few minutes during passing period I’d get the full story of what I apparently didn’t know. I couldn’t help but tell myself how dumb they were for thinking that me, out of all people would know something about my best friend, but everyone else did. That was the funniest thing I’d ever heard.

            “Are you kidding? You take so long to explain things! Just spit it out!” Jessica exclaimed, with a hint of aggravation in her voice.

            “You know how Lorraine’s dating Chris? And Brooklyn’s dating Steven? “

            Jessica nodded, as if there was no point to this conversation.

            “Well, Lorraine’s cheating on Chris with Steven!”

            “What! Lorraine can’t do that, I mean, Steven and Brooklyn are-“

            Cutting Jessica off, looking at her pink polished nails, Kate casually stated, “Well, it looks like she’s pretty capable of doing it.”

            “That’s so messed up! Didn’t Brooklyn and Chris date a while ago?”

            “Kay, well I’m gunna go..”

            “They totally did! For a long time too. I can’t believe Lorraine.”

            Chris and I totally dated, for five months. I was fine with Lorraine having him, but now seven too? And Steven and I aren’t even over. I was so pissed, you have no idea. Without thinking, I was already half way over to confront them when I heard the end of their conversation.

            “That’s what I thought too! But Jessica, you cannot tell brookly-“

            “Can’t tell me what?” I rudely cut her off.

            “Oh, it’s nothing.” Jessica tried to reassure me, in that kiss up of a voice.

            “Wait, you mean that thing about Lorraine, Chris, and Steven? Yeah, I heard it a couple minutes ago from two girls who think other people can’t hear them talking.”

            I walked away, that’s all I had to say to them. Who knew your so-called friends could be so unfaithful.
