I was at the movies with my bestie, Chloe Quinn, and just as we walked in, I suddenly spotted my childhood friend, Ryan Lane, in the very back row, making out with my dad's illegitimate daughter, Evelyn Heath. I heard Evelyn teasing him, "Ryan, aren't you worried Corrine will get jealous if she finds out you're on a date with me?" Ryan replied, his voice full of amusement, "Corrine's just my simp. She comes crawling back whenever I beckon. So what if she knows? She's head over heels for me anyway." Evelyn's mocking laughter echoed in my ears, and Ryan just went along with it, completely unfazed. In that moment, something inside me died. From that day forward, I made a conscious effort to keep my distance from Ryan. Later, Ryan actually reached out to me for once. He texted: [Corrine, stop having tantrums. If you come back now, I'll forgive you.] I was at the movies with my boyfriend, Charles Quinn, when I got the message. He raised an eyebrow when he saw Ryan's text. "Corrine, when are you going to make us official?" he teased.
