Loving Kira

If you would’ve told me that my boyfriend cheated on me with my bestfriend I probably would have laughed... but now that evidence has presented its self, I would believe you.

Looking down on lia’s phone on my bed among our books my boyfriend ,Jayson, name flashes across the screen. Why would jayson be texting lia?. Taking the phone up, I sit up on my bed and type in her password.

Invalid password comes up on the screen.

Since when did her password change from being 4 zeros? I try again and use her birthday and it opens. I swipe down and click on jayson’s message and it carries me directly to all messages received from him.

Hey babe when r coming over? I miss u❤😔

Ping

I haven’t spent time with u in a while because of kira constantly nagging me to keep her company and to take her on dates. Come over tonight.

“What the actual fuck!” I said disbelievingly still staring at her phone. This cant be happening. Lia and I have been friends since Freshman year and we’re Seniors now, that’s 3 fucking years!. I know her like I know the freaking periodic table, she would never sleep with Jayson. She claims he’s too geeky - which is not her type - when I started dating him during the end of sophomore year.

Jayson and I have been together for 1 year now. He was my Lab partner in chemistry during sophomore year and would always tease me in a friendly way. We became friends after multiple accounts of teasing and I introduced him to Lia and my other friends Sophie and Blake. After months of being friends, one day he asked me out and I went on a date with him. One date turned into 5 more and after that he asked me to be his girlfriend which I gladly accepted because he was nice, I liked him and more importantly he was my friend. I had my first date with him, my first kiss, he was my first boyfriend.

Jayson how could you do this to me.

Lia how could you do this to me.

I started to scroll down and saw that there was no end to the amount of messages they were sending back and forth to each other.

“How long has this been going on” I whispered.

“Kira! I can’t find any dip for the chips. Where are they? I’ve been looking for ages now” I hear Lia yell from down stairs.

I didn’t even know that I was crying until I saw a tear drop on her phone. Wiping my tears I clear my throat so there isn’t a hint that am crying.

“Look in the pantry” I yell back.

Still looking at her phone I consider what am gonna do.

I honestly have no idea what to do, I’ll see how this plays out. I cant be stressing about this and I have a history test tomorrow.

I place her phone back between her book and sit with my back to my head board. Placing my history textbook on my lap I continue to study.

Hearing lia footstep coming up I look up from my book to see her holding a sour cream dip and a bag of potato chips.

" I thought you didn’t like sour cream dips” Lia said looking at me quizzically.

I release a humor less laugh “Well when your bestfriend loves them you stock up on them like a good friend does even if you don’t like it”

“ha ha okay” she replied sitting on my bed.” I cant believe Mr.Stanley is giving us a quiz and its our second week back at school” she groaned pulling the chip and dip.

Trying to keep my composure I smile ” He told us about it Monday that the test would be Friday. I think he cut us some slack there” I said refusing to look at her.

Ping

I guess she received another text from my boyfriend, again.

I look up to see her smiling looking down at her phone.

“I need to go home now, my parents are having company over for dinner.” Lia says packing up her books.

It’s freaking 9 pm am sure your parents have already eaten dinner already. For such a conniving bitch she surely sucks at telling a lie.

" uh huh” I replied smiling wryly to my self. I can’t stand to see her face right now.

" Um, okay, I’ll see you tomorrow...love ya” she said looking at me like I’ve grown another head

I nonchalantly replied “Yeah, bye” still not looking at her.

After hearing her retreating footsteps and the door downstairs closes I lift my head up and release a pained sob. Shakily I pick up my phone and call the one person I can rely on. After the second ring she picks up.

" Hey baby sis wh-”

" Mira, Jayson is cheating on me with Lia and I don’t know what to do” I sobbed, cutting her off.

Mira is my older sister, not my twin. My parents just seem to have a thing for rhyming their kids name. Mira lived in Los Angeles with us but 1 year ago she moved onto the campus of UCLA and is currently studying Law. Trying to follow in the footsteps of mom and dad I guess. She only comes back on holidays so am mostly here alone by myself seeing as my parents are always working.

I hear her shuffling around for a couple seconds. ” Those assholes, I told you you should have broken up with him. The minute he made a pass at me when you introduced us, I warned you about that book worm.”

She sounds more hurt than me”I-”

" Wait a minute, What do you even mean you don’t know what to do.” she scoffs, cutting me off. ” Are you stupid? He cheated on you with your bestfriend kira, You should dump his ass...dump both their asses.”

“Okay” I whispered still crying.

Mira sighs “Look, your not stupid okay. But you need to stop making people walk all over and stand up for your self. Now is not the time to be Miss nice and quiet kira.”

" Okay, I just cant believe they would really go behind my back and do that” I said shaking my head.

How could I have been so stupid and not see all the signs, they don’t even interact that much. Lia is always awol but when Jayson started disappearing at random times 3 months ago I should have known.

“Dump them both tomorrow, once a cheater always a cheater. Lia wasn’t a friend to begin with if she did that and she was a toxic friend anyways; Always belittling you.”

Mira was right, she is toxic now that am thinking about it. She was always telling me that I shouldn’t let my hair down because it doesn’t ‘suit me’. Never letting me come with her to parties often, when I do go with her she abandons me the second she’s inside. She was always telling me that ‘loose’ clothing fits me better and i shouldn’t wear revealing clothing because that’s not ′my style’. This one time we were going to party and I saw this cute short denim button tube dress she told me its not my style but hers and bought it so I was stuck buying a long sleeve knee length ruffle blue dress. Pft always making decisions for me. call me stupid because am starting to think I am.

“Kira, are you listening to me?” Mira asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

“No, sorry I was just out of it for a sec” I murmured.

" I was saying that there is a party here saturday and i’d like you to come with me. Let loose and forget those asshole after dumping them. So are you in?”

It would be nice to just have her keep my company instead here but knowing mira she’ll drag me by my hair to come with her. Plus am sure she never misses a party as UCLA’s miss popular. Then again it would be nice to just let loose and come out of my shell for one night.

Sighing I get up and clear my bed of my books and the chips and dip Lia abandoned. “Am in” I sigh flopping down on my bed.

" Then it’s settled, i’ll come saturday morning and then we can go shopping for our dresses and we’ll go from there”

“Okay. i’ll see you saturday. Am really tired now, and not in the mood to study anymore”

“Okay, but remember dump them both tomorrow, No more Nice kira, got it?”

“Got it, Love you, see you saturday” i said ready to end the call.

“Love you too little sis”
