I felt awkward even looking at Chad now.
Since we were in the same class, we were
always around each other.
He didn’t call me “Sarah” anymore.
Spike kept sending me messages to check in.
Tiffany bought two hair clips and gave one to
- me.
“We’re all friends here, so make yourself
comfortable.”
I felt so weird.

During lunch, I turned around to look at Chad.
I was going to ask him to go to the cafeteria.
Now that we were dating, he wouldn’t say no,
right?
“Chad, going to the cafeteria?”
He looked up and said, “I just texted Tiffany,
but she hasn’t replied yet.”
Suddenly, Spike texted me.
Spike: [Wanna eat lunch together?]
I…
I didn’t know what to say. Then I heard the
Quad group chat.
Tiffany posted a screenshot of the
conversation.

Tiffany: [Do you want to eat together in the
cafeteria?]
Spike: [No, I’m meeting Sarah.]
Huh…
They were in the same class, but they
messaged each other?
Soon, Tiffany @Sarah: [Do you mind if I come along?]
Chad @Tiffany: [Let’s go together.]
Spike @Sarah: [You didn’t respond.]
No!
This world is so absurd!
Tiffany: [What has to be said in private? Or has
this aroun chat become useless?]
Spike: [Start being yourself.]
Tiffany: [Okay, from now on, we’ll say
everything in the group chat. Remember, the
four of us are together.]
Spike: [Go to Google to see what “together”
means.]
Tiffany: [… The four of us are dating.]
The bickering made me giggle.
“They look cute.”
Suddenly, I felt Chad’s eyes on me.
My hand covered my mouth as I realized I said
my thoughts out loud.
“I’m going, if we don’t go soon, there won’t be
any food.”
