We Broke Up Over Ice Cream

Synopsis

During a break in the physical training program, my boyfriend, who was also the instructor, bought ice cream for the whole class. He must have miscounted because he was one short. When he got to me and one of the most popular girl in college, Sophie Carter, he gave the last ice cream bar to her. I watched as he carefully tore off the wrapper and handed it to her. Calmly, I said, "Let's break up." He looked at me, amused. "Because you didn't get an ice cream?" "Yep." "Fine. Don't come crying back to me." After five years together, he seemed sure I was joking. Little did he know, I'd already accepted a student exchange offer. Once the training ended, I was leaving to study abroad.
