life is average fucked up today;;

*Names changed for sake of post.

I usually work at the library after school on Thursdays. This Thursday, as I was waiting for my older brother to get picked up, I ran into my old friend Erin. We went to the same middle school, and so it was nice to see her again cause she goes to the rival high school now. We talked for a while until my older brother drove up.

When she saw him, she cringed and grabbed me by the arm. "Tessa," she said quietly. "Have you talked to Kimmy* lately?"

I shook my head. "Of course not," I replied blatantly. "We go to different schools, duh."

Erin glanced at my brother's car, then back at me. She drew in a deep breath. "Kimmy's dating your brother."

My eyes grew wide as I started glancing from my brother's car to Erin and then at the street. "What. The. Fuck?"

Erin started to nod quickly. "But you can't tell her that I told you."

I nodded slowly, then walked over to my older brother's car, pretending like the conversation had never happened.

The next day, everyone knew. Apparently a few of my friends had known already, and it was pretty much "public" news. By public, I mean that Kimmy and my brother were freaking out because they were worried that I'd found out (which I had, but they didn't know that).

I was pissed. Kimmy was scared to talk to me cause she thought I'd kill her or something (because, um, it's creepy to know that your friend is dating your brother. Ewwww). She finally called me today, saying that she was sorry that I'd found out about it through someone else.

I'm still mad at Kimmy.

I'm not sure when I'll forgive her. Not only for having really creepy taste in guys, but also for not even telling me.
