A Kiss That Cost Him Everything

Synopsis

At the party after the SATs, Janet lost a round of truth or dare and had to kiss someone. Out of all the single guys, she chose my boyfriend, Harris. And he didn't say no. So I broke up with Harris. Harris stared at me, baffled. "Seriously? You're dumping me just because of a game?" "Yes!" I shot back. Harris was mad I'd embarrassed him publicly. He turned around and kissed Janet right in front of my face. And as if that wasn't enough, the very next day, he invited Janet to join him on the graduation trip I'd spent months planning for just the two of us. Harris was sure I was head over heels for him, convinced I'd come crawling back and beg to make up. But two weeks went by without so much as a text from me, and that was when he really started to freak out. On the day our test scores were released, Harris texted me: [Faye, don't forget we both applied to the same college!] When I got his message, I was at his house with my parents, returning the keepsakes we once shared. There was no chance I was ever going to college with Harris. Harris had no idea. I only chose the same college because I was settling for what he wanted. Now that I'd let go of him completely, I didn't have to compromise anymore. I headed straight for Cypress University, the place I'd always dreamed of.
